Design and analysis of a novel earpiece-less eyeglass frame

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.
