The document defines and describes different types of eyeglass temple designs. It explains that temples can be straight from the hinge to the bend behind the ear like a skull temple, or straight extending past the ear like a straight side temple. Convertible temples can be bent down like skull temples. Curled sides have a flexible coiled cable end designed to fit in the groove behind the ear. Reinforced sides have a plastic body with a metal insert for extra support during adjustment.
