Abstract

Disclosed is an eyeglass frame and method of assembling the same in which a temple includes a pair of parallel ears which extend from one end of the temple. Each ear includes a pin receiving hole, and on the facing surfaces of the ears, a ramped slot extends from the hole to one of the side surfaces. The depth of the slot increases as it approaches the side surface. The lens supporting structure includes a single extension member with a pin supporting hole. The pin is inserted into this hole, and the lens supporting structure and temple are brought together so that the two ends of the pin are aligned with the two slots on the temple. As the temple and the lens supporting structure are urged toward one another, the ears of the temple are forced apart by the ends of the pin until the pin reaches the pin receiving hole at which point the ends fall into the hole.
