The upper bushing 11, lower bushing 12, upper washer 13, and lower washer 14 separate the pin 1 and the temple 3 from the hinge assembly 2, preventing direct contact between the pin 1 and the hinge assembly 2. Similarly, the temple 3 does not directly contact the hinge assembly 2. Therefore, when the temple 3 rotates, the force is only transmitted to the upper washer 13, lower washer 14, upper bushing 11, and lower bushing 12, avoiding direct force on the hinge assembly 2 and significantly reducing friction between the screw 4 and the screw sleeve 5. This structure is simple and reliable, and the hinge structure is less prone to loosening or falling off. It can effectively improve fatigue testing and service life, significantly extending the lifespan of the glasses while reducing production costs and increasing production efficiency.

[0035] As attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the inner circular surface of the upper washer 13 is provided with a downwardly extending first spacer 17, which is integral with the upper washer 13.

The second spacer 18 is sandwiched between the inner wall of the central hole 10 and the threaded sleeve 5. This design can further separate the threaded sleeve 5 from the temple 3, preventing contact between the two.

[0036] As attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3As shown, the inner circular surface of the gasket 15 is provided with a downwardly extending support flange 19. The outer diameter of the support flange 19 is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the upper bushing 11, and the inner diameter of the support flange 19 is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the screw 4. The support flange 19 is sandwiched between the inner wall of the upper bushing 11 and the screw 4. This design can achieve axial positioning of the upper bushing 11 and the lower bushing 12, ensuring the stability of the connection between the post head 1 and the temple 3.

[0037] The upper bushing 11 and lower bushing 12 are both made of plastic, while the gasket 15, upper washer 13, and lower washer 14 are all made of metal. This combination of plastic and metal materials significantly reduces wear and extends the lifespan of the structure.

[0038] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the washer 15 is provided with a relief groove 20 for the screw head of the screw 4 to be inserted, wherein the screw head is a conical shape that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and the shape of the relief groove 20 is similar to the shape of the screw head. This design not only reduces the overall volume, but also makes the surface smoother and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0039] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the screw head of the screw 4 is provided with an operating groove 21. The operating groove 21 can be a slotted groove or a cross-shaped groove.
