Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to set the spacing between temples so as to meet the width of the face by changing the positions of connection parts of the temples to a front frame with respect to the lens arranging direction of the front frame, thereby making the poisons freely fixable. SOLUTION: The positions of the holes 6 corresponding to the width of the face of a user, for example, a child, are selected in order to reduce the spacing D between the temples 3 and 3 when the user of the spectacle frame 1 changes; for example, from an adult to the child. In such a case, the user loosens screws 13 by using a tool and rotate the temples 3, 3 counterclockwise. The projecting parts of fitting members 12 are then disengaged from the holes. The projecting parts of the fitting members 12 may, therefore, be disengaged from the holes 6 as well. When the temples 3, 3 are detached from the front frame 2 in such a manner, the temples 3, 3 are merely necessitated to be fixed again in correspondence to the previously deselected holes 6. Even if the width of the user's face changes in such a manner, the width D of the temples 3, 3 may be changed according thereto and, therefore, the hand of use may be improved.
