Description

DESCRIPTION

Floating sports glasses-holder with closure and opening system.

Object of the invention 5

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, aims at a floating sports eyeglass with closure and opening system, designed to provide new advantages over other existing models. The device is intended to prevent the loss of the glasses, even if they accidentally fall into the water, also having the function of attaching the glasses to the user's body and allowing them to hang around the neck or lift them over the head, without causing annoying rubbing on the skin.

Specifically, it is a device characterized by avoiding annoying rubbing in the zone 15 in which the glasses rest while they are used in all kinds of activities, because it is inserted only at the ends of the glasses pins by pressure and that It allows easy placement around the neck through a system of closing and opening by means of pressure with which it is equipped, also adds the buoyancy characteristic to be able to be recovered in case of falling into the water. It is composed of several tubular pieces 20 that ensure the buoyancy of the assembly joined by one

or several closures.

Technical sector

 25

Framed in the sector of optical and sports accessories in general and in particular related to water sports activities such as recreational sailing and motor sailing, surfing, windsurfing, paddle surfing etc.

Background of the invention 30

Traditionally, the typical rubber bands, elastic bands or cords that are attached to both ends of them, on their pins and that allow simple fastening around the head have been used as a glasses holder.

 35

The following is documentation related to the state of the art.

The utility model ES1135491 describes a captive cord that holds glasses to the head and body, especially indicated for aquatic activities, characterized by its double anchorage in the cord terminals for each of the glasses pins.

Document ES0228685 is also known, which deals with a float for attaching the glasses, being of the type made up of pieces capable of floating that are attached to the glasses pins, whose pieces have appendages 45 openwork at their ends which are inserted in the pins to retain the float on them.

Therefore, the purpose of the first document cited is to achieve a subjection of the glasses to the body so that they do not fall into the water, but in case they ended up falling they would sink when the device did not float; while in the second of the 50 documents, although if they would float, the function of subjection to the body is not provided, not being

possible to let them hang from the neck. In both cases in the pins annoying elements are added that can rub the skin and create discomfort in the area of the ears.

Explanation of the invention.

 5

Together, the floating sports eyeglass with closure and opening system, finally consists of plastic, rubber or latex tubes that adapt and introduce at one of its ends to each of the glasses pins and on the other they are introduced under pressure in each of the small arms or side pivots with one or more pieces of material, which in turn is floating, said pieces acting as a closing and opening mechanism and in which it can optionally be added by various techniques Engraved prints, etc. Custom or advertising.

The way in which the adjustment of the device occurs only to the ends of the glasses pins guarantees that no foreign component rubs the skin in the area of the ear, because on this one only the eyeglass pin rests.

The adaptation of the whole system to the head of each user is permanently adjusted by practicing simple cuts of the length of the tubes by means of scissors or any other system enabled for it. twenty

Overall, the buoyancy of the glasses, the adjustment to the head of each user and the clamping of the glasses are assured both at the time of normal use, as if they are placed on the top of the forehead or simply hung on the neck.

 25

On the other hand, the system of closing and opening under pressure is light, easy to use and it facilitates at all times and does not bother or prevent in any way the practice of water sports for which it is specially designed.

Brief description of the drawings 30

"To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where it is shown as an illustrative and non-limiting nature. the following: 35

Figure 1.- Shows a side view of the device of the invention (in this case with a central opening and closing system) coupled to the glasses.

Figure 2.- It shows a front view of the device of the invention (in this case with two 40 side closing and opening systems) coupled to the glasses.

Figure 3.- Represents the closing and opening system that acts as a union between the tubular pieces when the small arms or side pivots are inserted into them by pressure. Four. Five

Figures 4 and 5.- Side and front views of the device being used by the user.

Figure 6.- Represents the shape of the device with a single central opening and closing system that joins the two tubular pieces. fifty

Note in Figures 1 and 2 how the joint part with the glasses does not exceed the end area of the pins and how the closing and opening system is inserted in the tubular pieces.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention 5

In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the device is constituted by tubular pieces of flexible, elastic and floating material cut to the appropriate extent and one or more elements that act as a joint between them as a closure and opening, made with the form and measure suitable for a perfect fit in said 10 tubes, being able to be manufactured in any material (plastic, metal, etc.) to which a logo, name or brand can be engraved or stamped optionally.
