- (Province of Belluno) - Italy SPRING HINGES / ESPECIALLY FOR EYEGLASSES

The present innovation relates to a resilient hinge which is particularly suitable for connecting the temple to the front part of a spectacle frame.

At the moment there are already resilient hinges on the market, which consist of a plate that covers a receptacle made from the spectacle frame. A rod runs through the plate, at the end of which there is a plate accommodated in the said receptacle, which is movable in the receptacle against the action of a spring present between the plate and the plate. The other end of the rod is hinged to a fork-shaped element which is attached to the end of a bracket.

In this embodiment, the plate that covers the machined receptacle / with screws or rivets can be attached to the glasses frame. In addition to the unsightly sight, the attachment of the Plate on the rack takes a considerable amount of time.

Another disadvantage of this type of fastening is there

rin that the price of conventional resilient share |

kidney, especially because of the long assembly times

comes to lie high. I.

The object of the present innovation is therefore to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages through the provision a resilient hinge for glasses, which can be mounted particularly quickly and without additional work can be·

A. The aim of the present innovation is Creation of a simply constructed resilient hinge for glasses / which does not require any special processing and guarantees the greatest reliability.

Another aim of the present innovation is to achieve an easily off-the-shelf Elements available, which is extremely competitive from an economic point of view is.

The stated object and further objectives, which emerge more clearly from the following description, are achieved according to the innovation by a resilient hinge, in particular for glasses, which is characterized in that it is a hollow, cylindrical clement which is closed at one end with a base and has the

External surface friction means for its clamping in a corresponding cylindrical receptacle present in a spectacle frame, with through a rod is slidable through the floor, at one end of which a plate is attached, which in the cylindrical element against the action of resilient means lying between the plate and the floor in Movable in the longitudinal direction, while at the end of the rod located outside the cylindrical element fork-shaped element is articulated, which is attached to the end of a temple of the corresponding glasses

Other features and advantages of the innovation will be made clearer from the following detailed description of a preferred one Embodiment of the resilient hinge, especially suitable for glasses, with reference to the example

Fig. 3 is a partially sectioned side view of the neupTTinffSffemassen hinge.

With reference to the above figures, there is

innovation according to the hinge of a designated 2 hollow cylindrical element, which at one end of a bottom 3 is closed.

On the outer surface of the hollow cylindrical element 2 friction means are provided with which it is present inside a corresponding one in a spectacle frame 4 can be clamped in the cylindrical receptacle. Preferably, the friction means consist of annular, sawtooth-shaped projections 5, which although the pressing allow the cylindrical element 2 in the cylindrical receptacle, but at the same time the falling out of the element 2 prevent. This is due to the fact that the annular projections 5 are practically the plastic deform, from which the spectacle frame 4 consists, and thereby the cylindrical element 2 in the cylindrical Hold the recording. .

At the end of the cylindrical element 2 lying opposite the bottom 3, a toothing 6 is provided, which engages in the bottom of the cylindrical receptacle to rotate the cylindrical element 2 about its longitudinal axis to prevent.

Through the bottom 3 a rod 7 is displaceable, which at its inside the cylindrical element 2 lying end is provided with a plate 8. The plate 8 is in the element 2 in the longitudinal direction against the Effect of a spring 9 between the plate 8 and the base 3 resilient means movable.

That lying outside the cylindrical element 2 End of the rod 7 is articulated by a pin 10 in a fork-shaped element 11, which at the end a bracket 12 is attached.

The mode of operation of the resilient hinge according to the invention is clear from the above description. At the If stresses occur between the bracket 12 and the frame 4, the bracket 12 pulls against that of the spring 9 exerted counterforce the rod 7 partially out of the cylindrical element 2 and rotates around his Outer edge. In this way, the bracket can be rotated resiliently outwards with respect to the frame 4, without causing breaks.

Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the hinge according to the innovation is installed extremely quickly can be. In order to connect the bracket to the frame 4, it is sufficient to insert the cylindrical element 2 into the cylindrical Press the receptacle in so that it is firmly in the
