Field of the invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an eyewear and particularly to spectacles that is designed to prevent frequent breakage of frame of the spectacles.
Description of Related Art
[002] In a current era, 75% of adults have a vision problem around a globe as per a vision council. About 64% of them wear spectacles, and about 11% wear contact lenses, either exclusively, or with glasses. Every vision correction option has its own pros and cons as it depends on a face structure, a personal choice and a life style. Moreover, every person's daily activity can be different, and accordingly they can go for different options. In general, the spectacles comprise a frame that is attached to temples through a screw assembly. The screw assembly enables a person to open and close the temples.
[003] However, repetitive opening and closing of the temples can loosen a screw which leads to a separation of the temples from the frame of the spectacles. In such case, the person has to either repair the broken spectacles or the person has to spend money on new spectacles because repairing the screw assembly can be difficult and charges a lot of cost.
[004] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced spectacles that can administer the aforementioned issues in a more efficient manner.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the fasteners 106a-106b may be pin and hole joint fasteners that may keep the frame 102 and the temples 108a-108b inline. In an embodiment of the present invention, each of the fasteners 106a-106b may comprise pins 110a-110b and magnets 112a-112b.
[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pins 110a-110b may be provided at end faces of the corresponding temples 108a-108b. Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the pins 110a-110b may be capable to fit into the corresponding magnets 112a-112b. In an embodiment of the present invention, the end faces of the corresponding temples 108a-108b may be coated with a ferromagnetic layer to enable an attraction between the end faces of the temples 108a-108b and the corresponding magnets 112a-112b.
[0029] Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the magnets 112a-112b may be strong and assembled in between the temples 108a-108b and the end pieces 104a-104b of the frame 102 to provide a required force to hold the temples 108a-108b and the frame 102 together. As shown in the FIG. 1B, each of the magnets 112a-112b may be having a first hole 114. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first hole 114 of the corresponding magnets 112a-112b may be capable to receive the pins 110a-110b. In such embodiment of the present invention, the first hole 114 of the corresponding magnets 112a-112b may enable the pins 110a-110b to pass through the corresponding magnets 112a-112b while attaching the temples 108a-108b with the end pieces 104a-104b of the frame 102. In another embodiment of the present invention, the pins 110a-110b may be ejected out from the first hole 114 of the corresponding magnets 112a-112b while detaching the temples 108a-108b from the end pieces 104a-104b of the frame 102.
[0030] Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, each of the end pieces 104a-104b of the frame 102 may be coated with the ferromagnetic layer to enable the end pieces 104a-104b of the frame 102 to attract towards the magnets 112a-112b.
[0031] The end pieces 104a-104b may be provided with a second hole 116. In an embodiment of the present invention, a size of the second hole 116 may depend on a type of the pins 110a-110b provided at the end faces of the temples 108a-108b. The second hole 116 of the corresponding end pieces 104a-104b may be capable to accept the pins 110a-110b that may be passed through the first hole 114 of the corresponding magnets 112a-112b. In an embodiment of the present invention, the second hole 116 of the corresponding end pieces 104a-104b may be capable to accept the pins 110a-110b to removably attach the temples 108a-108b to the frame 102 of the spectacles 100.
