ABSTRACT:
Eyeglass frames fabricated from shape-memory alloys which have optimized elasticity properties which exhibit a combination of shape-memory and elastic properties, which utilize the shape-memory property of these alloys in fastening elements, or which utilize the flexibility and fatigue resistance of the martensite state of the alloys as a hinge element are disclosed.
