Pad system for a spectacle frame

摘要

A pad system for supporting a spectacle frame on the bridge of the nose of the wearer includes a pad arm fastened to the spectacle frame in the area of the root of the nose of the wearer. The pad arm has a generally rectangular cross section at the outer end thereof for fastening the pad which has a rectangular blind hole for receiving the outer end of the pad arm. The blind hole is configured such that the longitudinal axes of the cross sections of the blind hole and the pad conjointly define an acute angle. Additionally, it is advantageous to place the blind hole outside of the center axis of the pad. By pushing the pad onto the pad arm in different positions, a spectacle frame with rigid pad arms can easily be adapted to the anatomical actualities of different facial shapes.
