DESCRIPTION

Binoculars

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention refers to a binocular, specially designed to replace the classic prescription glasses.

The object of the invention is to provide a device with an optical graduation that is economical, resistant and easily adaptable to the user's face, all with a minimum volumetric occupation that gives it an extremely versatile character.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the field of practical application of the invention, although certain people are accustomed to wearing glasses or contact lenses continuously, certain subjects, such as those with tired eyesight, use prescription glasses occasionally, when reading, driving, etc

This means that for a large part of the time the glasses are not worn, which is a problem due to the ease of deterioration of their lenses, as they are made of glass, as well as the fragility of the frames, which makes it necessary to keep this type of glasses. of accessories in protective covers, with a significant volumetry, and that can be a problem if adequate storage means are not available.

In addition, these types of accessories are expensive, so it would be desirable to offer the market a much cheaper and more resistant solution.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The recommended binoculars satisfactorily resolves the problem previously exposed, based on a simple but highly effective solution.

For this, and more specifically, the binoculars of the invention are made from a one-piece element made of transparent silicone, in which a central sector is defined as a clamp, elastically deformable, intended to tightly embrace the nasal septum. of the user, central sector that extends laterally in two prescription lenses, of the same material, whose graduation is obtained by adjusting their curvature and thickness.

The sectors acting as the lens of the one-piece binocular body may include a partial or total perimeter reinforcement, as a frame, although the device dispenses with the classic ear clips, since it can be easily stabilized on the user's nasal septum.

Obviously, the binocular sectors that do not constitute the prescription lenses may indistinctly present an opaque, transparent or translucent nature, as well as be decorated with coatings of paint, ink, etc.

Depending on the quality/price ratio and durability that you want to give to the binocular, it can be obtained from conventional silicone, which has a not very long useful life (with the passage of time it yellows), or silicone can be used. liquid for optical uses, presenting a long durability.

From this structure, an extremely economical, effective, versatile device is obtained, resistant to shocks and scratches, practically indestructible, which has a minimum volumetric occupation, and can be adapted to different receptacles due to its elastic nature, such as tight pockets, etc. without risk. damage to the binoculars.

This reduction in volumetric occupancy is due to the fact that there is no need for temples, due to both the elastic capacity of silicone (deformation of the clamp due to its own configuration) and its anti-slip characteristics.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of its practical embodiment, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a binocular made according to the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a front elevation view of the device of the previous figure.

Figure 3.- Shows a bottom plan view of the device of the previous figures.

Figure 4.- Shows a profile view of the device of the previous figures.

Figure 5.- Shows, finally, a front elevation view of a variant embodiment for the binocular.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the outlined figures, it can be seen how the binocular of the invention is made from a one-piece body made of silicone, in which a central sector (1) is defined as an elastically deformable clamp, through which it adapts tightly and stably to the nasal septum of the user, and which extends laterally into two prescription lenses (2), which will be made of transparent silicone, whose graduation is determined by their thickness and curvature.

The lenses can be complemented with perimeter reinforcement elements (3), which extend partially or totally around them, similar to the classic frame of a pair of glasses, but without the participation of the corresponding temples.

These reinforcing sectors or elements (3), as well as the central sector (1) can be either transparent, translucent or opaque in nature, as well as be decorated using inks diluted in the silicone itself or by external coatings.

Thus, the reinforcements (3), such as those shown in figure 5, make the binocular tend to the position shown in said figure, so that although the clamp or central sector can be elastically deformed to adapt to the user's nasal septum , this adaptation will be carried out in a tight way, due to the elastic nature of the device, which together with its anti-slip nature, allows us to dispense with the classic temples, with the advantages that this entails.

The design possibilities offered by the device of the invention are infinite, so that only two possible embodiments are shown in the figures, it being evident that the configuration of the assembly can vary enormously according to very varied lines of design.

In this way, a graduated optical device is achieved that is comfortable to transport and use, light, economical and extremely resistant.
