So in this article, we’ve put together a list of the main parts of glasses frames and what they’re really called. Here’s a brief overview. Using a process called riveting, sometimes called staking, the ends of the rivets are squashed, deformed and widened to squeeze the hinge onto the frame front or the temples.

Half rim frame fronts are the same as full rim but their lower half is missing. This means the bottom edges of your lenses are exposed and are secured in place using a thin nylon chord called “Supra.”There are many types of spectacle lenses, which were originally made from glass. However nowadays, most if not all spectacle lenses are made from types of high index plastic. Your hinges are the metal joints which allow you to open and close the temples on your glasses frame. Without this, your temples would eventually become warped and would require repeated heat adjustments to keep them in the correct shape. The wire core helps maintain adjustments carried out by your optician.

On 26 September 1687 a Venetian mortar round, fired from the Hill of Philopappos, blew up the magazine. [102] [126] The explosion blew out the building's central portion and caused the cella's walls to crumble into rubble.

Group from the east pediment, British Museum Another name for your glasses hinges, a fully assembled joint comprises of two half joints held together with a dowel screw. Seen in the image above, each of the charniers have a hole in their centre's. This is where a threaded screw locates to secure all the loops together. Each half of the fully assembled hinge is called a half joint. Instead, hidden hinges are inserted into the frame via heat or ultrasonic friction which rapidly melts the acetate surrounding the hinge.
