- the end of these central blades 63 is housed in the central bore 53 and has retaining faces 64 cooperating in the operating position with the inner surface of the cylindrical central bore 53 of the core 51.
- the fasteners 12 of this end of the first part also comprise pins 65 which are housed in the radial slots 57a and 58a of the barrel 55.
- the central blades 63 of the fasteners 12 of the first piece are introduced into the longitudinal slot 61 of the barrel 55 and the pins of these fasteners 12 are housed in the radial slots 57a, 58a of the barrel 55.
- their ends having the retaining faces 64 are located in the central bore 53 of the core.
- the retaining faces of the first part cooperate with the inner surface of the central bore 53 of the core while the central blades 63 move in the countersink 54 of the core 51.
- the first piece 62 is thus secured to the barrel 55, can no longer emerge from the longitudinal slot of the barrel and the studs 65 being engaged in the radial slots 57a, 58a.
- the second piece 66 to be hinged to the first piece 62 formed here by a bezel branch, has at its end to connect it to the hinge 51, 55 of the coupling members 17 adapted to be introduced into the radial slot 52 of the core 51 through the opening 59 of the barrel 55 and having retaining means 67 cooperating, in the operating position introduced into the radial slot 52 of the core 51, with the cylindrical wall of revolution of the axial recess 56 of the barrel 55 .
- the core 51 is positioned.
- coupling parts 17 of this second piece 66 comprise a recess 68 which, once the second piece secured to the hinge, gives passage to the arms 60a, 60b allowing the angular displacement of the first piece relative to the second piece.
- this hinge is, especially for the articulation of glasses branches, that there is no need to use screws, rivets, glue, adhesives or other means for mounting and the articulation of the eyeglass branches on the front part of a spectacle frame, the mounting and dismounting of the branches and the facial part taking place by snapping on the hinge.
