  • Patent number: 6834954
    Abstract: The invention provides spectacles of the type without a surround, comprising a bridge interconnecting two lenses, and two hinged side arms, each side arm being mounted to pivot about a horizontal axis that is oblique, between a deployed position for use and a folded position against the inside surfaces of the lenses. In accordance with the invention, each side arm is connected to the corresponding lens via a hinge link of one-piece structure, said link having an inner portion fixed against the inside surface of the lens and prevented from turning relative thereto, and an outer portion offset laterally from said lens, with said side arm being hinged to the back of said outer portion via a terminal eyelet of the side arm.

  • Patent number: 6428166
    Abstract: Eyeglasses have a vertical midplane of symmetry and comprise a front optical portion and two wire temples each associated with a respective side zone of the front optical portion. Each temple has a hinge end shaped as an eyelet lying in a vertical plane intersecting a general longitudinal direction of the temple. A hinge element is fixed on an inside surface of the corresponding side zone to receive the eyelet to pivot about an axis that is substantially normal to said inside surface, between a deployed position in which the temple is substantially perpendicular to the front optical portion, and a folded position in which the temple is substantially parallel to the front optical portion.
