Abstract

Spectacle having two temples which are each articulated via a pivot connection to an optical central section which covers the field of vision in the position of use and can be pivoted from a storage state, in which the temples are applied to the optical central section, to an operating state, in which the temples are folded out from the central section, the optical central section being manufactured from a flexurally elastic material. The two temples are each articulated to the central section via a curved pivot axis of the pivot connection or via at least two linear pivot axes of the pivot connection arranged transversely to one another. In this way, glasses can be produced in which, in the position of use, light entering laterally, which does not cross the optical central section but nevertheless reaches the eye of the wearer, is largely suppressed.
