Abstract
An elastic hinge for spectacle frame comprises: a endpiece comprising two parallel flanges holding a hinge axis, a case comprising a longitudinal housing comprising a guiding area, a slide arranged in the housing, comprising a salient part spreading outside the housing and maintained in sandwich between both flanges by the hinge axis and a guided part interacting with the guiding area, and elastic means for returning the slide to a position retracted towards the interior of the housing, at least a prominence not performing the guiding of the slide and spreading out from the case to insert between both flanges, in order to ensure a direct mechanical coupling between the case and the endpiece.
