DUMAS

DUMAS

NAMED FOR ALEXANDRE DUMAS, NOVELIST AND PLAYWRIGHT. 

IS REIMAGINED FROM THE PITTION ARCHIVES : CONSTRUCTION THE SAME AS THE 1950’S FRAME BUT SUBSTITUTING TITANIUM FOR MATERIAL-COVERED MONEL.

ROUND FRAMES WITH MID-CENTER CONNECTIONS AND A BOLD, ROUNDED BUMP NOSE. THE CONNECTIONS ARE SLOTTED AND MILLED VERTICALLY TO ACCEPT A CYLINDER HINGE INSERT. THE TEMPLE IS SLOTTED THROUGH, AND THE CYLINDER IS INSERTED FROM THE BOTTOM. THE CONFIGURATION IS HELD IN PLACE BY BOTTOM SCREW. THE ACTION IS PRE-DETERMINED BY THE SPECS OF THE PRESSED AND CONSTRUCTED UNITS. 

THERE IS A PROTRUDING BAR THAT LOCKS THE CLOSURE ON THE CONNECTION WHEN OPENED.

THE TEMPLES START OUT WITH THE LOCKING BAR AND FOLD BACK, THEN TAPER OUT INTO A 4-SIDED / MULTI-PRESSED AND TRIMMED SHAPE. AT THE BACK OF THIS SHAPE IS A CORE WIRE WELDED AND AN ACETATE “MODAN”

TEMPLE PIECE SLIDES ON AND IS SCREWED IN PLACE FROM THE BACKSIDE WITH A CUSTOM “MAP SCREW”.

THE SHAPE AT THE FRONT IS SLIGHTLY ROUNDED BUT TAPERS TO A SLENDER BOW AND IS COMPLETED AT THE END WITH A SQUARED OFF TIP.

AN EDUCATED AND SCHOLARLY LOOK THAT HIDES SOME DEVIATIONS
