An improved eyeglasses construction including molded plastic temple assemblies each having a hinged joint intermediate its ends for limited pivotal movement permitting adjustment of the lens frame about the horizontal axis of the hinged joint. One piece of each temple assembly has a bifurcated end providing a pair of spaced flanges having parallel opposed vertical surfaces, and the other temple piece has a flat tongue-like member projecting from its end and including a generally C-shaped opening adapted to snap over the hinge pin to hingedly connect the two pieces in end-to-end relation. A spring arm on the bifurcated piece projects in overlying relation to a flat surface of the tongue-like member and carries a detent which is urged into engagement with a pattern of ridges and/or grooves on the surface of the tongue-like member to permit adjustment about the horizontal axis of the hinge pin.

Eyeglasses with improved lens tilting support structure

Angularly adjustable temples are disclosed which can be attached to a pair of eyeglasses. Each temple includes an end which is hinged to the eyeglasses for rotation inwardly along the lens of the glasses. Each temple includes first and second parts having compatible ends that fit together and which are adjustable angularly with respect to each other. One end of the first part includes a shaft disposed between parallel walls and a short pin projecting from one of said walls. The second part includes an end having a jaw member that fits between the parallel walls and is fitted on the shaft. The parallel walls of the first part include a series of serrations thereon which are compatible with a hook-like protrusion on the second part in order to fix the second temple part at an adjusted angle relative to the first temple part.
