Publication number: 20110185538Abstract: An elastic hinge element for a glasses frame includes a box (100) that includes a guiding cavity (101), a slide (200) that includes a body (201) moving in the guiding cavity (101), and at least one elastic piece (204) that works with the box to produce an elastic reaction that opposes the extraction of the slide from the guiding cavity (101), in which the slide body (201) includes an inside cavity that accommodates the elastic piece. The hinge element includes a holding clip for locking a proximal end of the elastic piece relative to the box (100), with the holding clip including flexible arms that extend in a distal direction and holding element (207a) that work with the box (100).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2009Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: COMOTEC S.A.Inventors: Christophe Hotellier, Pierre Bussod, Jean-Marc Donjon, Francois Mathieu

Patent number: 7798637Abstract: An elastic hinge member (10) for spectacles rims, includes a guiding area (22), a slide (30) having a guided part (32) cooperating with the guiding area (22) and a knuckle (31) and a return spring (40). The spring (40) has a compressibility that is sufficient for allowing the guided part (32) to come out of the guiding area (22), and the slide (30) can pivot about the longitudinal axis thereof in order to remain blocked in an “out-blocked” position that facilitates the assembling or disassembling operations of the knuckle with a spigot.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Comotec S.A.Inventor: Guido Medana

Patent number: 7350271Abstract: The invention relates to an elastic hinge element (60) for a spectacle frame, comprising a body (10) consisting of a housing (11) comprising a guiding area (12) and at least one cavity comprising a retaining partition, a slide (20) fitted in the housing and comprising a guided part (22), a center part and a rod, a spring (40) for returning the slide to a rest position, mounted around the rod, and a bushing (30) forming a front stop for the spring. According to the invention, the cavity comprising the retaining partition is located in the guiding area (12) and opens out therein, and the guided part (22) of the slide comprises a recess into which an elastic tab (32) of the slide extends. Advantage: creation of a short-length hinge element.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2006Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignee: ComotecInventor: Nicolas Genelot

Patent number: 6916093Abstract: An elastic hinge (40), in particular for spectacle frames, has first and second hinge elements (50, 60) rotatably mounted around a pivot (45), a cam profile (53) integral with the first hinge element, a bearing piece (65) movably mounted in the second hinge element along an elastic translation axis. The bearing piece has a first contact area co-operating with the cam profile to give the hinge at least one stable position, and provides a lock for the hinge when a position of excessive opening is reached. The lock includes a protrusion (53-4) of the cam profile arranged for co-operating with a second contact area (65-2) of the bearing piece by exerting, essentially on the bearing piece, a force substantially perpendicular to the translation axis thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2004Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: ComotecInventor: Sébastien Claude Quehin
