Abstract: A decoration for spectacle frames of plastics material is formed by a shaped plate intended to be incorporated in a zone of a frame so as to appear on the surface with its outer face substantially flush with this zone. The plate has at least one passage formed within its thickness in the form of one or more longitudinal, transverse or oblique grooves or apertures inscribed in the plate and opening onto its outer face so as to be occupied by the plastics material constituting the frame itself during application to the frame.

Abstract: A spectacle frame comprising a front assembly and a pair of bows hinged to the front assembly and each having an elongated longitudinal core and a number of blocks arranged side by side and through which the aforementioned core is fitted. The frame also comprises a number of connecting elements, each located between a pair of blocks and each having a pair of opposed convex lateral surfaces and a pair of first ridges projecting perpendicularly to the core axis. Each block presents a pair of opposed concave surfaces designed to mate with respective convex surfaces on the connecting elements, and two pairs of second ridges, each facing a respective first ridge on a connecting element, so that, when the bow is flexed, the second ridges of each block on one side of the bow contact respective first ridges on the connecting elements.
