Myles’s Glasses

Here is a quick study of Myles’s glasses or spectacles. They have a variety of moving parts and can fold into themselves for easy storage.

The “sunglasses” disks can move to the inside of the side frames when not needed or swung behind the spectacle portion. The spectacle glass has a hinge on the bottom that makes them swing forward so as to be moved out of the way when needed. Myles is near-sighted, which means he has a problem seeing objects far away but can see things perfectly when close. Since he uses the magnifying attachment on the glasses when working on his inventions, he just swings the spectacle glass down out of his way when he uses them instead of getting a completely new set of glasses to do the job. When Myles wishes to stow the glasses away, the hinge in the center arch swings inward until the sun & spectacle glass lay next to each other and then the ear stems fold in and over until all the parts make a small easily compact shape that he can put in his coat pocket.

I know, complicated. Usually I will have more complete schematics of items, but this image make perfect sense to me so I don’t think it will be likely in this case.
