Abstract
A temple for a pair of eyeglasses with a longitudinal shaft and a temple end piece exhibits a telescoping connection between a first segment of the temple end piece and the shaft end facing this temple end piece. The connection further comprises a fixation device, which fixes or holds the shaft and end piece together. Either of the opposed walls of the telescoping connection are designed to be essentially cylindrical. Preferably, numerous ribs protrude radially from the other wall with the ribs running in the axial direction of the connection and finally holding the telescoping connection together. On account of this, the angle of the temple end piece with respect to the hinge on the temle shaft can be adjusted during assembly and then a connection is created between the temple end piece and the shaft which is resistant to rotational as well as pulling forces.
