Abstract:

A spectacle kit is disclosed having a protective mask insert and detachable means for attaching a spectacle frame to the protective mask insert, by snapping the receiver onto an insert clip. Notch attachments connect a holding strap at each horizontal end of the spectacle frame so that the spectacle kit can be worn around the wearer's head external from the protective mask. Each front piece end also has a hinge and side arm combination, each hinge having a back wall, top region, bottom region and connector pin between that forms an arcuate-shaped gap between each back wall and connector pin. Each side arm for that hinge comprises an elongate side that terminates in a region fitting over the wearer's ear; and an arcuate region for fitting into the gap between the hinge back wall and connector pin when: (i) positioned at an angle between about 20 and 75 degrees relative to the main frame body; (ii) slid into the gap; and (iii) rotated about the connector pin away from the main frame.
