Temples or temple ends made of thermoplastic plastic.

Description:

The innovation relates to a temple or temple end made of thermoplastic material.

It is common practice for temple ends made of elastic, thermoplastic material to be covered with a softer plastic layer to make them more slip-resistant. However, the softer coating can come off, which is why special fasteners must be provided, and it soon becomes unsightly due to exposure to light and contact with hair.

The task of innovation is to remedy this situation with simple means and _to create a non-slip bridle with good carrying properties. 15

To solve this problem, the temple or temple end is made of thermoplastic material, such as cellulose acetate, cellulose acetobutyrate in accordance with

Innovation in that a plastic buffer made of soft material, especially silicone, is embedded on the inside of the widened temple to rest on the wearer's head, preferably replaceable, for which the plastic buffer is inserted into an internal recess as a receptacle on the widened temple end.

In detail, the plastic buffer can have knobs on the outer edge for holding it in the recess or can be provided with pins on the inside for locking into holes.

Preferred embodiments of a spectacle temple or temple end according to the innovation are shown, for example, in the drawing, namely:

Figures 1 and 2 show the perspective view of a plastic temple end before and after inserting a plastic buffer made of soft material and

Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a plastic temple end after inserting two plastic buffers made of soft material. 25

In the drawing, Figures 1 and 2 show a bracket end 1 made of elastic, thermoplastic material, on which a recess 2 is provided at the widened end as a receptacle for a plastic buffer 3 as a flat plate made of soft material.

For the plastic plate 3 to be positioned in the recess 2, pins 4 are provided on the inside for interchangeable locking in holes 5. Edge knobs can also be provided for this purpose, although not specifically shown.

According to Fig. 3 of the drawing, two recesses 12 are provided in the plastic bracket end 11 at the widened end as a receptacle for two plastic buffers 13 as flat plates made of soft material, whereby the exchangeable mounting of the same can take place as described in the first embodiment.

In detail, the soft plastic buffers or plates, which are preferably used interchangeably, can have a harder core, in particular core plates made of polyamide or polycarbonate, whereby the harder core can run into the fastening pins.

Claims (8)

Protection claims: 1. Temples or temple ends made of thermoplastic material, such as cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, characterized in that a plastic buffer made of soft material, in particular silicone, for contact with the wearer's head, preferably replaceable, is embedded on the inside of the widened temple end. 2. Temple according to claim 1, characterized in that the plastic buffer is inserted into an inner recess as a receptacle at the widened temple end. 3. Temple according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the plastic buffer has knobs on the outer edge for holding in the recess as a receptacle. 4. Temple according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the plastic buffer is provided on the inside with pins for locking in the recess as a receptacle in holes. 5. Temple according to one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the plastic buffer, when introduced into the recess, results in a slight curvature for the head to rest against. 6. Temple according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the recess for receiving the plastic buffer is designed as a flat plate corresponding to this round, but in particular round-oval, whereby two plastic plates can also be used. 7. Temple according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the preferably replaceable soft plastic buffers or plates have a harder core, in particular core plates. 8. Temple according to claim 7, characterized in that the harder core runs into the fastening pins.
