PURPOSE: To provide the hinge mechanism of the spectacle temple with good productivity which can more easily and securely fit the temple by molding a wraparound endpiece and the hinge mechanism, which eliminates the need for a conventional hinge, in one body and decreasing the number of components and the man-hours of assembly.
CONSTITUTION: A connecting screw 4 is provided on one end side of the wraparound endpiece to which the temple 2 is connected rotatably and the hinge mechanism A for supporting the base end side of the temple 2 rotatably is formed on the free end side. This hinge mechanism A consists of a clamp part 3b formed by bending the free end side of the wraparound endpiece 3, a connection part 2a formed on the base end side of the temple 2, and a stop member 7 on which the connection part 2a and clamp part 3b are rotatably pivoted. This wraparound endpiece 3 is constituted so that a screw fitting part 3a and the clamp part 3b are arranged orthogonally to each other, namely, the clamp part 3b is bent in a hook shape crossing the spectacle lens almost at right angles after being twisted by 90° to the screw fitting part 3a facing the spectacle lens 1 in parallel.
