  • Patent number: 5200771
    Abstract: In a pair of eyeglasses having a bridge joining the edges of the lenses, the nose rest includes a one-piece bow which is secured via a spacer element to a retaining and essentially rests only on the bridge of the nose. In particular, the bow, spacer element and retaining plate are portions of a one-piece shaped part, so that a wider range of adaptation options to the individual anatomical features of the eyeglasses wearer in the nose region, on the one hand, and to the eyeglasses design used, on the other hand, is possible in a simple manner.

  • Patent number: 4904076
    Abstract: A nose pad adapted to be attached to a spectacle frame to form a part thereof. The nose pad has a relatively hard base body, a relatively soft, skin-friendly and slip-resistant covering on the base body and a securing arrangement affixed to the base body and projected from the covering for connecting the nose pad to the spectacle frame. The securing arrangement comprises a plurality of spaced anchoring pins adapted to be directly received by respective bores provided in a front piece of the spectacle frame. At least one of the anchoring pins has a pulling force-resistant device for resisting a separation of the nose pad from the spectacle frame by forces applied to the nose pad and directed away from the spectacle frame.
