Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a spectacle frame hinge which is formed of a simple structure without using screws, etc., and is simple in production. CONSTITUTION: Parallel parts 6a, 6b of a wire-shaped body 6 hold a sphere 1 from above and below the equatorial line of the sphere 1. A bar-shaped body 2 rotates in a horizontal direction shown by an arrow H and the rotation is stopped at the end 6c. The perpendicular rotation of the bar-shaped body 2 on the right side is suppressed by the parallel parts 6a, 6b to the center of the sphere 1, by which the rotation in the perpendicular direction shown by an arrow V is obviated and the function as the spectacle frame hinge is obtd.
