Abstract

A pair of glasses with inclinable temples, each temple being articulated pivotally around a swivel bearing on a holder connected to the frame, is designed such that the holder has an approximately plate-like basic body, that a recess open to the inside and backwards is provided in the holder, that a plate-like appendage is integrally provided at the front end of the temple, locking ribs being arranged adjacent to a radial outer edge of this appendage and engaging with corresponding locking ribs adjacent to an inner edge of the recess of the holder, and that a swivel bearing bolt passes through the appendage of the temple and the holder adjacent to its recess, thus achieving an inclination adjustment both technically satisfying and functional, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, an esthetically attractive and fashionable styling.
