- a support structure comprising
- substantially rigid support bar means with two ends
- spectacle sides mounted to said two ends, respectively, of said support bar means,
- said support bar means including a median portion which extends between said two ends of said support bar means and which has an inner side thereof directed toward the face of a user when said assembly is worn by the same,
- said inner side of said median portion being provided with holding recess means having two ends defined by at least two projecting portions of said support bar means,
- a pivot pin provided on said inner side of the median portion at a location adjacent to one end of said recess means
- a locking lever pivotally mounted at one of its ends on said pivot pin, said lever being displaceable between an unlocking position wherein it renders said holding recess means accessible and a locking position wherein said lever closes said holding recess means by bridging over said inner side of said median portion of the support bar means, and
- a projecting stopmember provided on said inner side of the median portion at a location adjacent to the opposite end of said recess means, and engageable by the opposite end of said lever to lock the latter in said locking position; and
- a front structure provided with at least one spectacle-glass and detachably assembled to said support structure, said front structure being provided with a protruding portion adapted to be detachably engaged in said holding recess means and to be locked therein by said locking lever when said lever is in said locking position, respective peripheral ends of said protruding portion being at least partially complementary to said ends of said holding recess means.
