Abstract: A spectacle frame includes a nose bar, a pair of eyewires each having one side connected to the ends of the nose bar and end pieces on their other side and a pair of temples pivotally connected to the end pieces of the eyewires. The nose bar and/or the pair of temples include at least three links having interengaged end portions. These links are fixedly connected, although some limited articulation may be provided. The spectacle frame desirably includes a unique hinge assembly for the temples and may also include inserts bonded to the eyewires to permit mechanical engagement with the nose bar. The spectacle frame may also include a brow bar which is threadably captured in bosses on the eyewires.
