ABSTRACT:
A temple assembly pivotably mounts to a lens holding frame of spectacles. The temple assembly has a first temple portion having a pivot member for pivotably attaching to the lens holding frame and an abutment for engaging the lens holding frame to restrict outward pivoting of the first temple portion away from the lens holding frame. A second temple portion is provided having a first end portion with an ear engaging section and a temple shaft slidably engaging the first temple portion. The first temple portion includes a receiving tube for slidably receiving the temple shaft therein through a first end opening. The pivot member has a hinge shaft with a pivot lug pivotably attachable to the lens holding frame. The hinge shaft is slidably received in the receiving tube through a second end opening of the receiving tube. A bias mechanism is provided for retractably biasing the temple shaft into the receiving tube and for retractably biasing the hinge shaft into the receiving tube to oppose extraction of the hinge shaft from the receiving tube by pivoting action of the abutment engaging the lens holding frame.
