Jérémie Plazy and I developped and patented an innovative hinge glasses, allowing a better durability of the frame. Our innovation is based on a fuse element interchangeable by the user.

Thanks to the simplicity of our design and the quality of our materials, we can guarantee a good durability of our frame, under normal conditions of use. This minimalist design allows us to control production costs by limiting the number of parts, as well as the time and number of steps performed by operators.

Our innovation also consists during an extraordinary use, like accident, to preserve the frame, in order to limit the service : by the design of a fuse. Indeed, the elastic is designed to break, beyond a certain deformation. It is interchangeable by the user directly and without any tools.

Our innovation thus brings real qualities of use as well as qualities of durability and repairability, without forgetting a minimal cost, for a solicited daily object.

We did quality tests to get the CE normalization. We went further normalization test and we carried out with the same elastics, more than 22,000 cycles (opening and closing), without breaking, so without any replacement.

It took us more than 8 years to achieve this innovation and offer a product ready for commercialization. We hope this product will be soon available on the market.
