Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an assembly of glasses frame, especially to a side cover assembly of glasses frames for shielding sides of the glasses frame. Description of Related Art In our daily lives, eyewear or sun glasses are used to protect eyes from strong sun light or prevents flying foreign bodies from getting into the eyes through sides of the glasses. A side shield is also added on each of two sides of a glasses frame in order to protect eyes. Besides wearing sunglasses for sun light protection, people often wear various kinds of goggles to protect eyes from injury caused by strong wind or foreign objects during work or high speed movement. The googles normally have side covers which are extended from two sides of the frame correspondingly and used to cover area surrounding the eyes for shielding the eyes against strong wind and foreign matters. However, the side covers on the two sides of the frame of the goggles are integrally formed together with the frame. Users can't select the style of the side cover according to their preferences and a certain space is required for its storage. Moreover, there is a kind of protective side shield which is able to be detachably mounted to an outer side of a temple. Yet the temple is unable to be folded after the protective side shield being disposed on the glasses while in use. The temple can be folded only after the protective side shield being detached. Although such design overcomes shortcomings of the above integrally formed design, the temple is still unable to be folded while in use. The side shield is easy to wear after repeated disassembly and installation and thus unable to connect to the glasses firmly. Thus there is a gap between the side shield and the temple and the side shield is easy to come off. There are still certain disadvantages. Thus there is room for improvement and there is a need to provide a novel side cover assembly of glasses frames which is more convenient to use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a side cover assembly of glasses frames. A side cover for shielding is mounted to each of two sides of the glasses frame without affecting normal functions and uses of temples. In order to achieve to the above object, a side cover assembly of glasses frames according to the present invention mainly includes a carrier edge portion projecting from an edge of the glasses frame and a side cover unit mounted to the carrier edge portion and located under a temple. The side cover unit is provided with a cover piece and a mounting flange is disposed on the cover piece for being mounted in the carrier edge portion correspondingly. The cover piece is provided with a locking bump and a locking block respectively on an upper end and a lower end thereof for being mounted and positioned in the glasses frame. Thereby the side cover unit is secured firmly to the glasses frame, without affecting folding and unfolding of the temple. Therefore, the side cover unit is assembled firmly and convenient to use. Preferably, the glasses frame is provided with an inner lateral surface while the carrier edge portion is provided with a curved loading surface which is perpendicular and adjacent to the inner lateral surface. The mounting flange is provided with an edge surface and a curved surface respectively attached to and in contact with the inner lateral surface and the curved loading surface of the glasses frame correspondingly. The locking block is arranged at the curved surface. Preferably, one end of the locking block is provided with a first inclined surface while a mounting slot is provided with a second inclined surface corresponding to and in contact with the first inclined surface. Preferably, the locking bump is an inclined projection having a higher inner side and a lower outer side; the recess is an inclined groove having a shape corresponding to a shape of the locking bump.
