Abstract:     In a joining method for a frame of spectacles, and in more particular to a method for joining a bridge or a temple to a lens rim, a joining method for a frame of spectacles comprises deforming a joining portion of a member made of a shape memory alloy material so as to be insertable into a pipe for joining the member to a lens rim, and joining the joining portion of the member to the pipe by returning the joining portion of the member to an original shape before the deformation after the member is inserted into the pipe.

    1. A method of joining at least one joining portion of a member forming a frame of spectacles to a hollow member to be fixed at another part of the frame of spectacles comprising:

a step of cooling the joining portion of the member, which is made of a shape memory alloy below the transformation temperature of the shape memory alloy;

a step of deforming the joining portion of the member to reduce the thickness below the transformation temperature of the shape memory alloy;

a step of inserting the joining portion of the member into a hole of the hollow member which is not made of shape memory alloy below the transformation temperature of the shape memory alloy; and

a step of bonding the joining portion of the member with the hollow member by heating over the transformation temperature of the shape memory alloy.
