  • Publication number: 20110185538
    Abstract: 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).

  • Patent number: 7798637
    Abstract: 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.
