Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple having a flexible printed circuit (FPC) including service loops. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. A first service loop allows extension of the FPC when the temple rotates about the hinge, and a second service loop allows the temple to be radially extended away from the hinge.

An elastic hinge for spectacle frames and manufacturing method thereof are disclosed, wherein the hinge includes a fork female component and an eyelet male component mutually hinged, the male component including at least one carriage slidingly fit in a cavity housing of a box-shaped body in contrast with an elastic element constrained with respect to the box-shaped body by way of a locking clip being provided with an annular collar which encircles a stem portion of the carriage, arranged between one end of the elastic element and a rear abutment end surface of a guide portion of the carriage. At least a groove is formed in the guide portion, adjacent to the perimeter profile of the stem portion, having a depth in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the carriage, defining a seat wherein at least a substantial part of the annular collar is engaged.

Elastic hinge for eyeglass frames, which comprises an articulation screw engaged in the holes of two articulation elements. The articulation screw comprises a shank provided with a narrow portion, which is engaged in the hole of a first tab of an articulation element, and with an enlarged annular portion, which forms a step and is engaged in the hole of a head portion of the other articulation element. The articulation screw assumes an end stop position, in which it is tightened and aligned with the hinging axis, and a blocking position, in which it is loosened and is tilted with respect to the hinging axis in response to the elastic force exerted by an elastic device, such that the step of the articulation screw interferes with the edge of the hole of the first tab of the articulation element, preventing a further unscrewing of the articulation screw.

Elastic hinge for the plastic frame of eyeglasses, which comprises a first articulation element and a second articulation element, wherein the first articulation element comprises a box-like body provided with a seat and a carriage provided with a rod-like element inserted in the seat and with a head externally projecting from the seat and coupled with the second articulation element. A bush is slidably mounted on the rod-like element, and a spring thrustingly acts on such bush. A fork-shaped body is inserted from the outside into a hole of the box-like body and is engaged with the bush in a straddling manner in order to retain the latter with respect to sliding along the longitudinal axis of the rod-like element.

Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. The extender may include a bushing and a spring that allows the temple hyperextension, and which also creates a bias force to urge the temple against a user's head during use.

An elastic hinge for eyeglasses includes: a box-shaped housing with an inlet aperture; a fork carriage, slidably mounted in a guiding cavity inside the box-shaped housing opposing an elastic element; and an elastic holding clip, snap-engageable with a retaining structure of the housing cavity, against which one end of the elastic element abuts. The elastic holding clip is generally C-shaped, providing a resting arm and a flexible arm joined by a connecting portion, the flexible arm having an engaging unit to snap-engage with the retaining structure, the resting arm and flexible arm elastically biased one towards the other by inner walls of the housing. The flexible arm is integral with at least one bias element, accessible from an inlet aperture of the housing, defining bias planes to be engaged with a tool, introduced via the inlet, for imparting a disengaging bias, bending the flexing arm towards the resting arm.

Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. The extender may include a bushing and a spring that allows the temple hyperextension, and which also creates a bias force to urge the temple against a user's head during use.

An articulated temple includes a temple arm, a temple end piece, and a hinge having a first hinge leaf coupled to the temple arm and a second hinge leaf coupled to the temple end piece. A pivot joint having a pivot axis is formed between the first and second hinge leaves. Each of the temple arm and temple end piece has a top curved edge. The top curved edges are concentric about the pivot axis provided by the hinge to enable one of the curved edges to move relative to the other curved edge along a portion of a circular path when the temple end piece is pivoted relative to the temple arm about the pivot axis. An eyewear including the articulated temple is disclosed.

Elastic hinge for the plastic frame of eyeglasses, which comprises a first articulation element and a second articulation element, wherein the first articulation element comprises a box-like body provided with a seat and a carriage provided with a rod-like element inserted in the seat and with a head externally projecting from the seat and coupled with the second articulation element. A bush is slidably mounted on the rod-like element, and a spring thrustingly acts on such bush. A fork-shaped body is inserted from the outside into a hole of the box-like body and is engaged with the bush in a straddling manner in order to retain the latter with respect to sliding along the longitudinal axis of the rod-like element.
