1. Mount for spectacles, comprising a front frame (2) having respective lateral lugs (4) for articulating respective rods (5) in order to articulatedly connect each rod (5) to the front frame (2),
in each of the rod-lug pairs one of the rod (5) or lug (4) comprises a first articulation element (6) which can articulatedly couple to a second articulation element (7) of the other of the rod (5) or lug (4), said first and second articulation elements (6, 7) hingedly connecting each rod (5) to the relevant lug (4),
wherein each first articulation element (6) comprises a first part (6a) which extends into a second part (6b) folded onto the first part (6a) in a position facing and at a distance from said first part, said second part (6b) comprising a pair of arms (8) which extend in parallel at a distance from one another as far as respective free ends (8a) of said arms (8),
each second articulation element (7) comprises a body (10) which extends into an end head (11), said head (11) being received between the first part (6a) and the second part (6b) of the first articulation element (6) at the free ends (8a) of said arms (8),
said mount comprises an insert (12) which is structurally independent of said first and second articulation elements (6, 7) and is constrained to the first articulation element (6), a portion (16) of said insert (12) being arranged between said head (11) and the first part (6a) of the first articulation element (6) and facing said part, a recess (17) being defined in said insert (12) and configured to receive said head (11), at least in part, during a relative articulation movement of the first articulation element (6) and of the second articulation element (7), a shoulder surface (22) defined on the insert (12) being able to contact said head (11) during the articulation movement when said head is engaged in said recess such that, during the movement between respective open and closed positions of the rod (5) on the mount, the second articulation element (7) can be moved from and towards said positions, in a guided and contacted manner between said insert (12) and said second part (6b) of the first articulation element (6), in order to create a hinge movement between the lug (4) and rod (5), said head (11) remaining in a position between said arms (8) and said portion (16) of the insert during the movement of the rod between the open and closed position, and engaging said recess (17) in the closed position contacted by said shoulder surface (22).
