Abstract: An eyeglass frame includes an outer frame (20), an inner frame (50) provided with a pair of eyeglass lenses (60), and temples (31) connected to the outer frame (20). The inner frame (50) is attached to the outer frame (20) through connection members (55).

Abstract: So-called ‘rimmed’ or “half-rimmed” spectacles have two optical or sun lenses with contiguous edges between which is a bridge supporting the nose pads. The lenses are joined together by a central linking element and by a rigid full frame or a partial frame comprising a rigid upper part which is continued by a lower part in the form of two flexible and transparent cords housed in a groove running a the edge of each lens to support them. The spectacles are characterized in that the central linking means is a vertical bar inserted between the extreme adjoining flanks of the contiguous edges of the lenses, respective profiles being formed in the flanks to engage with, by housing, complementary profiles formed on the flanks of the linking bar, in such a way as to locate and secure it, and hence the lenses, without additional mechanical fixing devices.

Abstract: Hinge for spectacles (11), able to connect a frame (14) for lenses (17) to a relative arm or temple (12), comprising pivoting means consisting of bushing means (15a, 15b) solid with a lateral part (13) of said frame (14) and of a mating pin (16), solid with said arm (12). The pin (16) is inserted with interference inside the bushing means (15a, 15b) and is able to rotate with respect thereto. The bushing means comprises a first lower bushing (15a) and a second upper bushing (15b) facing each other, the gap (“d”) between the bushing (15a, 15b) defining a slot where the terminal part of the arm (12) connected to the relative pin (16) can rotate.

Abstract: A spectacle support includes a unitary strip of spring steel material bent to provide a central curved forehead-engaging portion and a pair of rearwardly and extending arm portions which extend inwardly and downwardly behind the rear of the head of a wearer. The arm portions are stepped outwardly from the forehead-engaging portion, so that when positioned on the head of a wearer, the portions of the spectacle support overlying the temples are spaced outwardly off the temples and apply no pressure to them. By shaping the arm portions of the support, a single size can be worn comfortably by people having a wide range of head sizes and shapes. A lens sub-frame is secured to the central region of the spectacle support for attachment of the lenses. In certain preferred embodiments the support is hingedly coupled with the spectacle support and the lens sub-frame, to permit adjustment of the vertex distance of the lenses from the eyes of the wearer.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved eyeglass frame assembly having screw-less hinges. It comprises a front comprising two rims each embracing a lens "L" and a bridge connecting these rims "R" by their inner sides; and a pair of temples "T" each rotatably connected to the outer side of each rim. Each rim "R" is an open-loop metal wire having two holding projections 1, 1 formed at its opposite open ends. Each temple "T" has an arc-like hook 31 formed at its end, and the hook 31 has a vertical stopper 32 formed at its end. The frame assembly further comprises two holder pieces 2, 2, each having two holes 21, 21 to accomodate the two parallel holding projections 1, 1. The arc-like hook 31 embraces each holder piece 2, permitting the temple "T" to rotate about the holder piece 2 until the vertical stopper 32 abuts against the portions of the holding projections 1, 1 projecting from the holder piece 2.
