ABSTRACT:
A metallic spectacle frame having each of its eyes split to accomodate a lens is provided with hinge assemblies each of which including a T-bar member that extends through the frame to the front side thereof. The portion of the T-bar member disposed on the front side of the frame forms a plaque which adds structural support to the frame as well as conceals the slit in the frame. The plaque extends around the side of the frame and abuts against a temple. A slot formed in the bridge of the frame is adapted to receive a nose pad assembly which is retained by a set screw extending into the frame from the back side thereof. A pair of notches are formed adjacent the slot to receive respective posts of the nose pad assembly to ensure proper orientation of the assembly. The nose pad assembly may comprise a rocker arm with individual nose pads, a single piece saddle bridge or some variant thereof.
