Abstract

Case for transport and automatic cleaning of glasses. Currently, covers of different materials, sizes and shapes are used to protect and safeguard any type of glasses. They usually contain a suede for lens cleaning. This chamois can be used alone or accompanied by special liquids for a deeper cleaning. Different devices for cleaning glasses have also been described although they may be useful for domestic use since they require a volume that makes them unusable for transporting glasses and being able to clean them during transport.

Description

DESCRIPTION

Case for transport and automatic cleaning of glasses.

Technical sector

The invention relates to an optics and optometry accessory combined with electronics for asepsis and ultrafast hygiene. More specifically, it refers to a case for carrying glasses that includes an automatic cleaning system.

Background of the invention

Currently, covers of different materials, sizes and shapes are used to protect and safeguard any type of glasses. They usually contain a suede for lens cleaning. This chamois can be used alone or accompanied by special liquids for a deeper cleaning.

Different devices for cleaning glasses have been described in the state of the art. For example, document US2005 / 0061359 describes an automatic glasses cleaner where the glasses are placed in a container containing a cleaning liquid so that the glasses are shaken inside the liquid for cleaning and subsequently dried with a chamois; US2014 / 0374280 describes another washing apparatus where the glasses are also introduced into a container with cleaning liquid and the container is shaken to achieve the cleaning of the glasses; W02017 / 125774 describes another cleaning system where the glasses are introduced in a closed container, cleaned by ultrasonic vibration and subsequently dried with air flow.

The previous devices, although they can be useful for domestic use, require a volume that makes them little useful for transporting glasses and being able to clean them during transport.

Explanation of the invention.

The present invention describes a case that allows the transport and automatic cleaning of glasses in a single accessory.

The case (1) comprises:

- an upper cover (2) that houses its external part

^or two holes; a first hole (3) screwed to recharge distilled water and a second hole (4) screwed to recharge liquid detergent;

^or two LEDs of different color indicating the start (5) and finish (6) of the wash;

^or a rectangular cover (7) to protect batteries that provide the necessary power to turn the LEDs on and off and the operation of the nebulizer and fan (13); The sensors necessary for washing automation are also housed in the battery compartment.

and in its internal part it has a frame (11) that supports a surface for the exit of nebulized liquids in the form of holes (12).

Between both parts of this lid is the cleaning liquid reservoir and the fan that drives the drying air.

- A lower cover (9) that has a second rectangular cover (10) on its external part that contains the deposit of water and detergent after washing; In the internal part it has a second frame (15) that evacuates the liquids pushed by the fan and that are collected in the recess that remains as a deposit between both parts of this lower cover.

- Hinges between the top (2) and bottom (9) cover are the (14) that join them and allow to open and close the case.

- An opening button (17) to open the case once the washing process is finished, which has a pincer rod that is secured by a slot (18) to the top cover (2).

Brief description of the drawings

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 illustrative and non-limiting nature has been represented. next:

Figure 1.- Shows a front view of the case (1) for the automatic care and cleaning of glasses with an opening button (17).

Figure 2.- Shows a view of the back of the open case (open) where details of the top (2) and bottom (9) cover with holes (3 and 4) of liquid inlet, LED and rectangular covers ( 7 and 10) to cover batteries and deposits.

Figure 3. - It shows a view of the inside of the open case (1) where the surface is appreciated with holes (12) for fogging, ventilation (13) and slits (16) for evacuating debris.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The present invention is illustrated by the following example, which is not intended to limit its scope.

The case for the care and automatic cleaning of glasses consists of two covers.

The top cover (2) is made of rigid plastic material with dimensions 150 mm long, 75 mm wide and 30 mm high; It has a frame (11) of the same length and width but 10 mm high that protects the edge of the lid. The nebulizer sticks to the back of this top cover and is covered with a surface full of holes (12) of a diameter of 1 mm to achieve a very fine mist; in the center, with a hole drilled in the previous surface, a fan (13) is installed for drying after washing. Both devices (nebulizer and fan) are connected to the cabin where batteries are placed as a battery for automatic operation. In the frame (11) and in its external part, a groove (18) is pierced so as to be able to engage the opening button stem (17), 12 mm long and wide like that of the frame. In the outer part of the top cover two holes (3 and 4) of 5 mm in diameter are drilled for the insertion of washing liquids and a pair of square LEDs of 7 mm of side and different color, red (5) and green (6), and connected to the batteries for operation. It also includes a rectangular cover (7) 70 mm long and 50 mm wide with two holes drilled closer to the 3 mm diameter hinges where two screws (8) are inserted for fastening.

The lower lid (9) has an inlet for the deposit of dirty liquids covered with a second lid (10) of the same dimensions as the rectangular lid (7); internally a frame (15) of the same dimensions as that of the top cover is included; also internally it has a surface with the slits (16) of a thickness of 2 mm and length of 55 mm each with a collector covered to subtract surface that collects everything in the tank that is housed under the second rectangular lid (10). In the center of the frame of this lower cover (9) a pincer rod is inserted to engage with the slot (18) where the case is closed and opened.

Both tops, upper (2) and lower (9), are joined with two hinges (15) 20 mm long and 5 mm wide on each side, with three screws on each side for mooring.

To clean the glasses, once placed inside the case, the case is closed and water and the washing liquid are inserted through the holes (3) and (4). Through the electronic system, the nebulizer is switched on (which is indicated by the green LED) that disperses these liquids inside the case until they run out, which is indicated by the red LED indicator. Dirty liquids fall into the tank under the lid (10) and then the fan is activated for drying the glasses. Once the process is finished, the case is opened using the button (17) and the lid (10) is opened to remove the remains of dirty liquid.
