French term or phrase: tenons déportés
This is from a description of a line of designer eyewear. Something new this past year were men's glasses with "tenons déportés". I've discovered that the "tenons" are the end pieces to which the temples are attached. But I don't understand what we're doing to them here. The text is as follows:

Cette collection opère un renouveau en 2011 avec le lancement de 18 nouveaux modèles optiques, destinés à l’homme chic et élégant, avec des montures percées et des formes rondes pour les jeunes séniors, des **tenons déportés**, des double ponts et des acétate pour une cible plus jeune.

Can anybody help me?

splayed hinges/extended hinge length


Explanation:
I'll find some more references, but the idea is that the hinges widen out or splay.

Contour du visage évasé : (wide face)

Objectif : compenser le volume latéral.

A privilégier : montures avec des tenons déportés.

A éviter : branches larges ou montures dont seules les branches sont colorées.

For people wide faces, the hinges splay out which compensates for the wideness.

I wonder if "tenon déporté" could mean the same as "tenon décroché", which was asked in a previous question.
