Abstract
To permit a variation of the design of the rim of an eyeglass frame, the two lens-holding rings of said rim are constituted by a common top rim member, which constitutes also a bridge, and two bottom rim members, which are separate from the top rim member and are provided each with a nose pad and are connected each to the top rim member by positive coupling means. Said coupling means comprise hooks, which are integrally formed with the bottom rim member and protrude outwardly from the opening for receiving the lens, and inwardly open recesses, which are formed in the top rim member and receive said hooks.
