Safety goggles, particularly useful as work goggles, having temples disposed on and inclinable relative to a frame having lenses and side guards. In accordance with the invention, a protrusion which serves as a swivel bearing is mounted on each of the opposite side guards, and a swivel bearing appendage having a recess therein is adapted to be pressed onto the protrusion. The temple is hingedly connected to the swivel bearing appendage, whereby to permit pivotal movement of the temple relative to the swivel bearing appendage and thus to the goggle frame. The swivel bearing appendage is inherently elastic, permitting a portion of the swivel bearing appendage to grip the back surface of the side guard. A holder appendage portion of the temple may also grip the back surface of the side guard. The temple can have its angle of vertical inclination adjusted relative to the frame due to the angularly adjustable engagement of the swivel bearing appendage with the protrusion on the side guard, since the temple is moveable with the swivel bearing appendage.
