The front of the eyeglasses has two traverses integrally connected to the opposite ends of the bridge and to the opposite perpendicular joint pieces, and the opposite temples are hinged to the perpendicular joint pieces. The bridge comprises a hollow tube, and two opposite axles each integrally connected to one or the other rim are fitted in the hollow tube. Each axle has a coiled spring wound therearound, one end of the coiled spring being fixed to the axle, and the other end being fixed to the bridge. Each axle has a retainer formed thereon to be caught by catch means formed in the hollow tube.
