Design and analysis of a novel earpiece‐less eyeglass frame
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present design and analysis of a novel earpiece‐less eyeglass frame.
Design/methodology/approach
A virtual assembly process was used to test the part design and finally a prototype was built to check the design.
Findings
Earpiece‐less eyeglasses are easier to adjust for higher comfort levels and do not incorporate leg hinges compared to traditional eye‐glasses. This novel design is unique and will be in mass production.
Originality/value
This paper presents a novel earpiece‐less eyeglasses frame design and will have significant impact to the market.
