Abstract:
An elastic spectacle-frame hinge comprising:two hinge elements, a fixed element and a mobile element, which are connected to a front and to a side-piece of the frame respectively and are articulated in relation to one another about an axis of rotation (R) by a first pivoting head on one of the fixed and mobile elements, which first head is inserted in a second pivoting head on the other element, and by a link which is successively accommodated in an internal duct in the fixed and mobile elements which opens into the first and second pivoting heads and is offset in relation to the axis of rotation, from an inner side to an outer side of the frame when the side-piece pivots, in relation to the front, from a closing position to a normal opening position, characterised in that each of the first and second pivoting heads possess a stop at a mouth of the internal duct on an outer side of the frame, which form, as a result of complementarity of shape of a first stop with a second stop, an interface for pivoting about a second axis of rotation (Râ€²), the link being disposed between the two axes of rotation (R, Râ€²) when the side-piece is in the normal opening position.
