Abstract: The invention is an improved eyeglass frame, having pivotally mounted noseplates. The invention makes it possible to provide eyeglass frames which are made of plastic material at least in the region of the nose support in which metal support plates are pivotally mounted. This is achieved by having an integral cantilevered arm extending from the frame and nose support plates which snaps onto the cantilevered arm in a way that allows the nose plates to pivot and yet remain secure. The pivotal mounting is accomplished by means of a bearing support pan in the arm which coacts with a nipple like projection on the rear of the nose support plates. The support plates are held in position on the cantilevered arm by use of a stirrup extending from the rear of the nose support plates.
