Abstract: A metal frame for eyeglasses, comprising a front frame having a pair of lens-bearing rims to each of which there is fastened, on its outermost part, a nose for the hinging of a temple piece. Each nose is formed of a monolithic block and each rim is cut at the place corresponding to the corresponding nose so as to define two branches, one fastened to the nose and the other connected to it by a threaded pin.

Abstract: In an eyeglass frame comprising a front piece formed of two rings arranged side by side serving to hold a pair of lenses and of a bridge which connects the two rings together, two stems protruding towards the inside of the frame are fastened to the inner sides of the two rings. The two stems are provided with attachment appendages which extend downward and are adapted to be engaged, with pressure-fit, by interchangeable nose rest members of different type. The attachment appendages of the two stems are plastically deformable as a result of the introduction of the preselected nose rest members.

Abstract: A metal frame for eyeglasses, which comprises a front frame having a pair of wire rings to each of which there is fastened, on the outermost part, a nose for the hinging of a bar. Each nose consists of a pair of plates and of means for tightening one plate against the other. Each ring is cut at the place corresponding to its nose and its two end portions corresponding to the cut are shaped and held by form locking in corresponding anchoring seats defined by the clamped plates.

Abstract: The invention is for an improved hinge for pivotably connecting an eyeglass temple piece to an eyeglass frame, which permits a stable positioning of the temple piece in a folded or closed position in order to conveniently store the eyeglasses and a stable positioning of the temple piece into a normal open position for wearer use of the frame and which permits still further elastic movement of the temple piece beyond the normal open position without damage to the frames or hinge. The improved hinge includes a rod-shaped slide which is slideably mounted in a seat provided in the end portion of the temple piece and which protrudes from the seat. A hole is formed in the slide which extends coaxially in the slide over a predetermined depth from its protruding end. A slot is formed in the slide which extends longitudinally in the slide over a predetermined length from its protruding end. The predetermined length of the slot is less than the depth of the hole in the slide and the slot debouches in that hole.
