OBS

pivot d'ajustement : terme proposé, sous toutes réserves, par inférence à partir des justifications reproduites ci-après.

OBS

La Gazelle est spécialement conçue pour la pratique des sports dynamiques, comme la course ou le vélo. Un pivot vertical, situé à l'intérieur du joint qui relie la branche à la monture, permet un ajustement confortable sur toutes les têtes. Les branches de la lunette viennent se serrer le long de la tête, ce qui assure une stabilité accrue. Le pont, partie sur laquelle la lunette repose sur le nez, est fait de silicone malléable, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur d'obtenir un meilleur ajustement.

OBS

L'ajustement de la distance entre les yeux sur pivot central, comme une paire de jumelles, est doux et facile à ajuster.
