Definitions

  • the present invention relates to eyeglasses with metal wire frame.
  • Rimless frame eyeglasses are currently very popular; they are characterized in that the frame is practically invisible since it is reduced to a simple set of connections between the lenses, the temples and the bridge. in these eyeglasses, said simple connections are obtained by using suitably shaped metal wire: spring steel, titanium or other metals having eguivalent characteristics are usually used.
  • the hole formed in the lenses must be positioned perfectly, on penalty of the risk of producing defective eyeglasses in which the points for coupling to the temples and/or to the bridge are misaligned.
  • Eyeglasses in which the frame is constituted by the assembly of three metal wires are commercially available in this constructive type.
  • a first wire runs along the upper grooves of both lenses, thus forming the upper parts of the two eyewires, and an intermediate portion of the first wire forms a bridge which connects the two eyewires.
  • the two ends that are located at the region connecting each lens to the temples are further shaped like an eyelet.
  • Each one of the second wires is shaped, starting from 3
  • the eyeglasses are assembled by turning around the first wire, proximate to the bridge between the two lenses, the hook-shaped end of each one of the second wires and then engaging each claw-shaped end thereof in the eyelets formed at the ends of the first wire.
  • the resulting eyeglasses do ensure effective retention of the lenses, which in fact cannot disengage from the eyewires formed by the wires, but at the same time they have the drawback that they are constituted by a plurality of components which must be appropriately associated with each other. In this case the mutual engagement of the wires so as to form the two eyewires must in fact be performed simultaneously with the placement of each lens and accordingly requires rather troublesome operations. Disclosure of the Invention
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide eyeglasses with a metal wire frame which can be produced with a simpler structural configuration than conventional types.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to provide eyeglasses with a metal wire frame whose components can be assembled very easily and quickly.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide eyeglasses with a metal wire frame which can be obtained at very low costs with respect to currently available 4 eyeglasses.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to provide eyeglasses which can be manufactured in practice without requiring any particular process or the use of special tools.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide eyeglasses which do not require the provision of holes in the lenses or the execution of welds.
  • eyeglasses comprising lenses, along the rim of which there is a groove, a frame which has parts shaped complementarily to said grooves, and temples, characterized in that said frame is constituted by a single metal wire which is shaped so as to run along said grooves formed in the lenses, said wire forming eyelets in an outward region, each eyelet constituting a hinge component for the articulation of the temples.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair of eyeglasses according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of a detail of the eyeglasses according to the invention during preassembly;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the detail shown in Figure 2 during assembly
  • Figure 4 is a side view of the detail of Figure 3; 5
  • Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of a detail of the eyeglasses of Figure 1;
  • Figure 6 is a top view of the detail of Figure 5;
  • Figure 7 is a perspective view of the detail of Figure 5;
  • Figure 8 is a sectional view of a detail of the eyeglasses according to the invention.
  • Figure 9 is an exploded perspective view of a different embodiment of a detail of eyeglasses according to the invention.
  • a pair of eyeglasses according to the invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and comprises lenses 11 supported by a frame which is generally designated by the reference numeral 12, forms two eyewires 13 and is associated with temples 14 in hinges 15.
  • a groove 16 is formed in each lens 11 along the entire rim.
  • the frame 12 is a single piece of metal wire 17 which is shaped appropriately with a symmetrical configuration and has, starting from each end 18, a hook 19 and a U- shaped bend 20.
  • the wire has a lower portion 21 which is conveniently shaped so as to run along the corresponding groove 16 of each lens 11 and thus form the lower part of the eyewire 13, and then form a first eyelet 22 proximate to the region for coupling to the hinge 15.
  • first eyelet 22 protrudes outward 6
  • said wire is shaped so as to have an upper portion 23 which is suitable to run along the corresponding groove 16 of the lens 11 and thus form the upper part of the eyewire 13.
  • the wire 17 has, in its central part, a bridge-like portion 24 for connecting the two eyewires 13 which is separated from them by means of V-shaped bends 25.
  • the frame 12 is obtained by placing each one of the U- shaped bends 20 formed at the ends 18 that form a hook 19 so that it straddles each V-shaped bend 25 that connects the eyewires 13 and the bridge-like portion 24.
  • the frame 12 is completed by twisting each one of the first eyelets 22 in the directions indicated by the arrows 26 in Figure 2 so that their plane of arrangement lies at right angles to the articulation of the hinges 15.
  • each lens 11 in the frame 12 it is sufficient to conveniently widen the eyewire 13 that must support it at the only yielding point, which is constituted by said first eyelet 22.
  • Each one of the first eyelets 22 constitutes the component of the hinge 15 that is rigidly coupled to the frame 12.
  • each temple 14 is also made of metal wire and a retainer 27 protrudes monolithically from it; the retainer is formed by means of 7
  • the end of the U- shaped portion is shaped so as to form a second eyelet 28 which lies at right angles to the articulation of the hinge
  • the hinge is obtained, in this embodiment, through the assembly ensured by a screw 29 which has an enlarged head 30 and a shank 31 by means of which it engages so as to pass in succession through the second eyelet 28, a washer 32, the first eyelet 22 and then engage a female component 33.
  • the female component has a bush-shaped body which forms an enlarged head 34 and an internally threaded seat 35 whose dimensions are complementary to those of the shank 31.
  • the first eyelet 22 is in effect interposed between the two wings of the retainer 27.
  • the shank 31 has, at its tip, a V- shaped recess 36 by means of which it is possible to perform riveting or punching after it has engaged the seat 35, taking care to make the tip protrude from the head 34 of the female component 33.
  • the lenses 11 are prepared in the eyewires 13 and then the 8
  • a nose pad 37 is associated on each hook-shaped end 19 for resting the eyeglasses on the user's nose.
  • eyeglasses with a metal wire frame have been provided which can be produced in an extremely simple manner by means of a single appropriately shaped metal wire which forms the lens supporting eyewires and the means for engaging the hinges of the temples and the bridge.
  • Another advantage is achieved with the present invention in that eyeglasses have been provided which have an extremely simple structural configuration.
  • Another object of the present invention is that eyeglasses have been provided for which the operations for assembling the lenses to the temples can be performed very rapidly.
  • hinges 115 which are interposed between temples 111 and a frame which is fully equivalent to the preceding frame 12 and, like the preceding frame, is obtained by means of a metal wire 117 which is shaped conveniently so as to form two eyewires and forms, at each region where the lenses are connected to the temples 111, a first eyelet, now designated by the reference numeral 122.
  • the temple 111 has, in a manner which is fully similar to the previously described temple 11, a retainer 127 which is obtained by means of a U-shaped portion directed inward with a plane of arrangement which is substantially parallel to the front of the frame.
  • the end of the U-shaped portion is contoured so as to form a second eyelet 128 which is parallel to the first eyelet 122 and which, like said eyelet, has a plane of arrangement which is perpendicular to the articulation of the hinge 115.
  • the hinge 115 is obtained through the assembly ensured by a screw 129 whose shank 130 passes in succession through a first bush 131, the second eyelet 128, a washer 132, the first eyelet 122 and a second bush 133 and is then finally fixed in a lock nut 134.
  • the first and second bushes 131 and 133 in effect prevent the mutual rotations of the temple 111 and the frame from being transmitted to the screw 129, which might loosen its coupling with respect to the nut 134.
  • the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the contingent use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
