Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9743683A1] A spectacle frame is described, comprising mountings (9, 11) for the lenses (L) and a pair of sides (1, 3) fastened to said mountings by means of respective hinges (5, 7) having a rotation axis (A-A), in which each of said hinges is formed from a first portion of wire wound into a helical spring (11D) and from a second portion of wire forming a hinge pin (3A) that fits into said helical spring, one of said portions of wire extending to form the respective side (3) and the other portion of wire having a connection member (11C) for the connection to said mountings (11). The portion of wire forming the side (3) has a bend (3C) which defines a first abutment against the connection member, to retain the pin (3A) into engagement with the helical spring (11D), and a second abutment to limit the maximum aperture of said side.
