Abstract: To generate elastic force in temples and to hold a head with pressing force generated by this elastic force so as to make eyeglasses fit more comfortably. An end of an endpiece to be mounted to a lens is bent, and an endpiece part in a polygonal shape is rotatably mounted to the end. A central portion of the endpiece is pressed against one side of the endpiece part in a normal state. An end of the temple in contact with a user's head is fixed to the endpiece part. As the temple is opened, the endpiece part rotates and the one side then turns from the state of being in contact with the central portion of the endpiece, generating working force so as to return to the initial state and then generating the elastic force in the temple thereby.
