An eyeglass hinge assembly (20; 70) for detachably connecting a temple arm to at least one frame part (11; 60), the temple arm being pivotably moveable through a normal motion range between open and closed positions, the eyeglass hinge assembly (20; 70) comprising: a first hinge member (21; 61; 72) comprising a pivot shaft (23; 65; 91); and a second hinge member (22; 71) comprising a hooked member (41; 75) adapted to allow rotation of the second hinge member (22; 71) around the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) of the first hinge member (21; 61; 72), each hooked member (41; 75) comprising an end and a straight section, wherein the pivot shaft comprises a truncation or notch (26; 93) positioned to ease engagement and/or disengagement of the at least one hooked member (41; 75) with the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) by movement of the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) between the end and the straight section of each hooked member (41; 75) when the at least one hooked member (41; 75) is in a predetermined orientation relative to the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91), wherein the position of the truncation or notch (26; 93) and the configuration of the hooked member (41; 75) are such that the predetermined orientation is, relative to the normal motion range, beyond the relative orientations of the at least one hooked member (41; 75) and pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) in the closed position, wherein to achieve the predetermined relative orientation of the at least one hooked member (41; 75) and the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) and thereby engage and/or disengage the temple arm to/from the at least one frame part (11; 60), a middle section of the temple arm needs to be bent towards the at least one frame part (11; 60) relative to an orientation of the temple arm when in the closed position, and wherein, in the predetermined relative orientation, moving the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) in a direction parallel to the straight section allows the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) and the at least one hooked member (41; 75) to move between fully engaged and fully disengaged positions. a first hinge member (21; 61; 72) comprising a pivot shaft (23; 65; 91); and a second hinge member (22; 71) comprising a hooked member (41; 75) adapted to allow rotation of the second hinge member (22; 71) around the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) of the first hinge member (21; 61; 72), each hooked member (41; 75) comprising an end and a straight section, wherein the pivot shaft comprises a truncation or notch (26; 93) positioned to ease engagement and/or disengagement of the at least one hooked member (41; 75) with the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) by movement of the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) between the end and the straight section of each hooked member (41; 75) when the at least one hooked member (41; 75) is in a predetermined orientation relative to the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91), wherein the position of the truncation or notch (26; 93) and the configuration of the hooked member (41; 75) are such that the predetermined orientation is, relative to the normal motion range, beyond the relative orientations of the at least one hooked member (41; 75) and pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) in the closed position, wherein to achieve the predetermined relative orientation of the at least one hooked member (41; 75) and the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) and thereby engage and/or disengage the temple arm to/from the at least one frame part (11; 60), a middle section of the temple arm needs to be bent towards the at least one frame part (11; 60) relative to an orientation of the temple arm when in the closed position, and wherein, in the predetermined relative orientation, moving the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) in a direction parallel to the straight section allows the pivot shaft (23; 65; 91) and the at least one hooked member (41; 75) to move between fully engaged and fully disengaged positions.
