Abstract: This invention relates to a nose pad assembly for use in eyeglasses. The nose pad assembly comprises a plastic nose pad and a mounting arm to be secured to the frame of the eyeglasses. Detent means are provided for resiliently interlocking a depending free end portion of the mounting arm with a boss on the rear of the nose pad so as to permit a limited pivotal movement of the nose pad about said free end portion. In one embodiment of the invention the boss of the nose pad is formed with a socket hole, which is open at its top end and closed at its bottom, and the detent means consist of a plurality of vertically spaced apart ball sockets formed in the elastic boundary surface of said socket hole and of a ball, which is formed at the extreme end of the free end portion of said mounting arm and interfits with said ball sockets.

Abstract: A bridge pad assembly for a metal spectacle frame comprises a bridge pad, a bracket, a bridge pad holder comprising a connector, which is resiliently locked to said bracket, and a baseplate carried by said connector at one end there of and anchored in said bridge pad. The connector has a cavity which is closed at one end by said base and open at the other end, a cross-piece extending through said cavity and spaced from said base, and a transverse bore, which intersects said cavity between said base and said crosspiece and extends transversely to the latter. The bracket has a free end portion, which is fitted in said transverse bore and formed with lateral depressions on opposite sides. A U-shaped spring clip is fitted in said cavity and closes the latter at said other end and straddles said cross-piece and resiliently interlocks with said lateral depressions.
