Abstract: The central piece of a full-rim eyeglass frame includes a left full rim (2) for receiving a left lens, a right full rim (4) for receiving a right lens, a bridge (6) joining the two full rims, and two endpieces (8, 10). The two full rims, the bridge and the two endpieces are integrally formed as a single piece, from a plastic. The two full rims (2, 4) are flexible, and are constituted by a closed, elastic band. The central piece of the full-rim frame is assembled into a central piece of a pair of eyeglasses with two lenses, whose outer circumferential lines have somewhat larger dimensions than the inner contour lines of the two full rims, so that the full rims of the central piece of the eyeglasses are stretched around the lenses, and their shape conforms to the shape of the lenses.

Abstract: A hinge for glasses pivotably connects an endpiece (2) attached directly on a lens (3) or provided on a frame with a temple (1). The hinge has a hinge pin (12) held rotatably in a hinge support (22) of the endpiece (2), which hinge pin is disposed on the temple (1). The hinge pin (12) forms a predetermined breaking point (122) for the hinge, which releases the temple (1) when an admissible force on the endpiece (2) is exceeded. A preferred embodiment is described, according to which the hinge pin (12) is formed in one piece with the temple (1) in an injection molding process.
