Abstract: Eyeglass frames are produced from reinforced plastic (synthetic resin) material in the form of plastic plates which are provided with a groove of predetermined configuration receiving a metallic reinforcing blade. When the groove is sealed, the blade extends across a bridge piece adapted to the position above the bridge of the nose of the user and around windows receiving lenses for the eyeglasses.
Abstract: A method for making reinforced eyeglass frames of plastic material comprises the steps of providing at least a plastic plate, forming therein a groove of predetermined configuration, placing a metallic reinforcing blade in the groove, sealing the groove to permanently embed the reinforcing blade therein and cutting the plate adjacent the metallic reinforcing blade along the profile of the predetermined configuration.
