MODULAR SPECTACLES
FIG6 is a side view of an illustration of the temple of the modular spectacles, according to an example embodiment
FIG6 is a side view of an illustration of the temple 117 of the modular spectacles 100, according to an example embodiment. The right temple 117 comprises a pair of split arms 655, 657 extending out in a V-formation, defining a V-shaped slit 650 running longitudinally along the longitudinal main axis of the temple. The right temple 117 includes square shaped carve-out portions 660, 662 on the distal end of each of the split arms 655, 657. The carve outs define protruding or perpendicular elements 670, 672 that extends perpendicularly from the distal end of each of the split arms 655, 657. The arrangement above results in the temple 117 having a compressible end, in that the distal ends of temple 117 can be compressed using one's fingers (in the direction of the arrows in FIG6), such that the split arms 655, 657 are brought together. In this fashion, when compressed, the ends of the split arms 655, 657 may be inserted into the slots of the rear, middle and front frame elements 540, 530, 520 when the frame elements are stacked in a sandwich formation. Once inserted into said slots, the compressible ends may be released, which results in the compressible ends expanding (in a direction opposite to the arrows in FIG6) and pushing against the interior surface of the slots of the rear, middle and front frame elements. The interior surface of the slots of the rear, middle and front frame elements rest against the square shaped carve-out portions 660, 662 on the distal end of each of the split arms 655, 657. The protruding or perpendicular elements 670, 672 that extends perpendicularly from the distal end of each of the split arms 655, 657 prevent the rear, middle and front frame elements from being pulled outwards and away from the temples. Therefore, the temples maintain the rear, middle and front frame elements securely in place.

['3. Modular spectacles as claimed in Claim 1 or 2 wherein the pair of lenses comprise a) a left lens and a right lens; b) the middle frame element includes a left rim defining a left orifice for the left lens, a right rim defining a right orifice for the right lens, a bridge connecting the left and right rims, c) portions of the front frame element extend over a portion of the left and right orifices defined by the pair of rims; d) portions of the rear frame element extend over a portion of the left and right orifices defined by the pair of rims; and e) the pair of temples comprise a left temple and a right temple, f) wherein the left and right lenses are placed within the left and right rims, respectively, of the middle frame element, the middle frame element is placed between the front and rear frame elements such that the slots of the middle frame element align with the slots of the front and rear frame elements, the compressible ends of the left temple are inserted into left side slots of the front, rear and middle frame elements and released, and the compressible ends of the right temple are inserted into right side slots of the front, rear and middle frame elements and released, such that the front, rear and middle frame elements are  secured together, and the left and right lenses are held securely in place by the front, rear and middle frame elements.']
