A glasses frame includes a front-frame and two temples (4, 5) connected to the front-frame through hinges which allow the rotation of the temples (4, 5) from a work position substantially perpendicular to the front-frame, to wear the glasses, as far as a home position substantially parallel to the front-frame, to put away the glasses. The front-frame includes two rims (2, 3) for lens support and possibly a bridge (1) connecting the rims and at least a pivoting element (C) apt to allow the mutual rotation by at least 180° of the rims (2, 3) around a rotation axis (X-X) substantially lying in a plane containing the two centres of the rims (2, 3) and perpendicular to the rims. The temples (4, 5) are directly hinged onto the rims (2, 3).

The present disclosure provides a pivotable eyeglass frame. In one aspect, the pivotable eyeglass frame includes a rim capable of receiving two lenses therein, and two temple bars, each being rotatably coupled to the rim via a hinge and having an anchoring pad mechanically coupled to the temple bar via a stepper column such that the rim is pivotable about the stepper column in steps.
