ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a spring hinge for eyeglasses having plastic or metal bows. The hinge includes a first hinge member which is adapted to be connected to a bow, and a second hinge member which is adapted to be connected to a frame center part, both hinge members being pivotally interconnected. The first hinge member is connected to an elongated U-shaped slider which extends into and is guided in a flat receptacle provided at the end of the bow. A spring member fitted on a rod is received in the slider for urging the same into the receptacle. The first hinge member has a portion overlapping the receptacle adjacent to the open end thereof. Between the slider and the overlapping portion, the first hinge member is further provided with a bevelled surface for engaging the outlet edge of the receptacle when the hinge is retracted so that there is no backlash during the movement of the bow from the inturned position to the normal open position.
