[0001] The invention relates to a component for spectacles or goggles, spectacles comprising such a component and goggles comprising such a component.

[0002] The present invention has application in the field of eyewear. Background Art

[0003] Eyeglass components (such as temples or front or nose pads) with decorative elements are known. In particular, temples with logos, inscriptions or designs (such as the brand name and / or decorative elements of the same eyeglass manufacturer) are known. In particular, it is known to manufacture such temples by molding, i.e. carving a seat or a special recessed portion into each temple, the seat or recessed portion being suitable for accommodating a plate or label on which the desired logo or trademark is depicted. It is well known that the size of such a plate or label is compatible with the size of the seat on the temple and is glued into the seat to modify and decorate the temple. In particular, the plate is often too small to make it easy to fit into the seat.

[0004] Disadvantageously, the glued panels may partially or completely separate over time.

[0005] Disadvantageously, once the plate is glued into the seat, the undersizing of the plate relative to the seat results in a gap being formed between the plate and the seat which tends to collect dust. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks and in particular to conceive a component for spectacles or goggles, spectacles comprising such a component and goggles comprising such a component, in which the plate with the decorative element is prevented from being separated from the body of the temple.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a component for spectacles or goggles with a decorative element, spectacles comprising such a component and goggles comprising such a component, which are less prone to dust accumulation and are more durable.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a component for spectacles or goggles with a decorative element, spectacles comprising such a component and goggles comprising such a component which are aesthetically pleasing.

[0009] These and other objects according to the invention are achieved by a component for making spectacles or goggles as set forth in claim 1 , and by spectacles or goggles comprising such a component as set forth in claim 10 or 11 .

[0010] Additional features of the components of the spectacles or goggles are the subject matter of the dependent claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
