Patent 7651218 was granted and assigned to Silhouette International on January, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A nose support for a pair of spectacles having a nose rest (2) and having a retainer (1), comprising a wire part (3), for the nose rest (2) is described, which has an undercut pocket (8) for the plug reception of an eye bent out of one end of the wire part (3). To provide advantageous design conditions, it is suggested that the end of the wire part (3) forming an eye be bent in a hairpin shape, the web (4) connecting the two legs (5, 6) of the hairpin-shaped end section forming a round eye (7) expanded in relation to the adjoining legs (5, 6), and the pocket (8) of the nose rest (2) expanding outward on one hand away from the undercut in the plane of the hairpin-shaped bent legs (5, 6) of the wire part (3) and on the other hand transversely to this plane over the entire pocket depth.
