Glasses Patent Claims
1. Frame for glasses in continuous shape, characterized in that it is made from one metallic plate, wherein frontal, bars, bridge and nose pads are mutually connected and in particular way the hinge zone is replaced by the same elasticity of the material of the metallic plate, which has a thickness equal or less than 0,5 mm, wherein at least one incision communicating with the opening for a lens is provided in the surface of the frame.

2. Frame for glasses according to claim 1, characterized in that the frame is obtained from the metallic plate by means of photo-chemical etching.

3. Frame for glasses according to claim 1, characterized in that the frame is obtained from the metallic plate by means of laser cut, electric erosion, or mechanical cut.

4. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is folded near the zones of the hinges, the bridge and the nose pads.

5. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is provided with the only indication of the folding, which takes place in a second time to allow the delivery of the frames for glasses in a flat version and to allow their adaptation to the face of the user by himself or by an expert.

6. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the shape of the lens has a negative chamfer for using again the spectacle lenses or for varying only the color of the sunglasses lenses, thereby allowing the substitution of the frames only.

7. Frame for glasses according to claim 1, characterized in that the incision for facilitating the insertion of the lenses with negative chamfer is in the zone of the hold nose and/or of the bridge.

8. Frame for glasses according to claim 1, characterized in that the incision for the insertion of the lenses with negative chamfer is in the zone of the hinge, thereby having the double purpose of allowing the elastic insertion of the lens and weakening the hinge zone for facilitating the bending.

9. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the terminal part of the bars is finished with a ribbon wound with a spiral movement.

10. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is provided with an opening in the zone that surrounds the lens for facilitating the insertion, said opening being closed around the same lens through the subsequent fixing with a bolt passing into corresponding holes.

11. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is provided, for facilitating the insertion of the lenses, with an incision connecting the opening for the lenses in the zone of the bridge, that becomes double, and that is kept in position through bolts, a thread of nylon, an adhesive tape, a jointing member or other fixing means.

12. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the nose pads of silicone are glued on a proper flat surface of the frame near the bridge.

13. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the nose pads of silicone consist of a sheath that is put on a suitable flat surface of the frame.

14. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the nose pads of silicone are inserted into the frame through an eight-shaped opening that allows two positions of the same silicone pads for the adaptation to the face of the user.

15. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a part (4) of the frame is perforated in correspondence of the lens like an eyelid, which is folded up to surmount the same lens.

16. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the opening for the lenses consists in a series of holes (10) of different shapes with the purpose of whet the sight or with an esthetical purpose only.

17. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the zone of the nose pads comprises a flat surface coated with a soft and anti-allergic material.

18. Frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the zone of the nose pads starts from the upper zone of the bridge and is folded up downwards and then sideward for obtaining the definitive conformation.

19. A system comprising a frame for glasses according to one of the preceding claims and a case box in the form of a pipe of transparent plastic material cut to a suitable length and in which the frame can be inserted, thereby avoiding its complete opening due to the elasticity of the metallic material forming the frame.

20. Exhibitor comprising a metallic plate having a thickness equal or less than 0,5 mm, characterized in that it comprises the frame for glasses according to claim 1 and wherein side portions of the plate are foldable so as to allow a standing position of the plate.

21. Exhibitor according to claim 20, characterized in that the frames are connected to the plate in four points disposed in line, two at the extremity of the bars and other two inside to the prominences for the nose pads, for facilitating the separation of the portions with the simple rotation without efforts.
