ABSTRACT:
A hand tool for use with spring-hinge type spectacles to facilitate removal and replacement of temple screws pivotally connecting apertured hinge ear portions of companion hinge parts mounted on the lens frame and the forwardmost ends of the temple members, including a pistol shaped tool body member having a slide channel portion and a forwardly extending rigid support arm, an elongated post pivotally mounted on the support arm, a lens frame holding subassembly adjustably supported on the post including a lens-engaging pad and a lens restraining arm in spaced overlying relation to lens-engaging surface portions of the pad, and a temple holding subassembly comprising a pair of confronting temple gripper pads spaced to define an upwardly opening temple-receiving recess therebetween. A pad adjusting mechanism is provided for moving the gripper pads toward and away from each other to grip and release a temple member located therebetween. The arrangement facilitates one-hand holding of the hand tool by an operator with the lens frame and temple members releasably restrained against movement relative to each other in their respective holding subassemblies.
