  • Patent number: 6238048
    Abstract: A temple structure for eyeglasses is formed of a spring hinge box, a piece of elastic metal wire folded in two, a flange connecting the spring fringe box and the piece of elastic metal wire, and an ear chip. The spring hinge box has a one-piece knuckle and a hollow with an opening, on its front side, and a longitudinally frontward threaded hole at the end of its rear side. The piece of elastic metal wire folded in two is designed to have its two free ends located near the ear of a wearer with its head portion positioned on the side face of the spring hinge box and its arm portion formed in a streamline or tear-drop shape to have a hollow. The flange, provided with a screw hole, is positioned in the hollow, through which a screw is driven into the threaded hole provided at the rear end of the spring hinge box, thereby fixing the piece of elastic metal wire onto the side face of the spring hinge box. The two free ends of the piece of elastic metal wire are fit in the ear chip.
