TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to hooded glasses.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, hooded glasses have been mainly used for hay fever measures, dustproof measures, and eye protection during sports such as winter sports.
The purpose of the hood in the hooded glasses is to prevent dust and pollen from entering from between the face and the glasses, and various types of hoods have been proposed. For example, it is known that a hood is formed of a hard material and provided integrally with a frame. Further, there has been proposed a hard hood provided with a cover which can be protruded and retracted inside (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-27530). However, the hood made of the hard material has a poor feeling of close contact with the face, and the face may be damaged by the hood. Further, since the hood is not detachable, if the hood is unnecessary, the hood becomes an obstacle. Utility model registration No. 3020847 has been proposed as a device having a soft hood and a detachable hood. However, since the hood is attached so as to cover the frame, the frame is covered and hidden by the hood. Moreover, it is far from ordinary glasses and sunglasses.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention includes a detachable soft hood that can minimize the gap between the hood and the face, and even when the hood is attached, the front of the frame is almost the same as ordinary glasses or sunglasses. An object of the present invention is to provide hooded glasses that can have the same appearance and have a natural appearance.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Accordingly, a first invention of the present application is a pair of spectacles provided with a spectacle body having a lens 2 supported by a frame 1 and a hood 4 provided on the rear side of the spectacle body. And a hood support portion 3 is provided behind the lens support portion 11 of the frame 1, and is provided at a front end of the cylindrical hood 4. A pair of eyeglasses is provided, wherein an engagement portion 44 that fits into the hood support portion 3 is provided, and the hood is attached to the frame by engaging the hood support portion 3 with the engagement portion 44. I do.
According to a second invention of the present application, in the spectacles according to the first invention, the hood 4 is formed in an annular shape with a soft synthetic resin, and the lens support portion 11 of the frame 1 The hood support portion 3 has an annular shape substantially the same shape as the lens support portion 11 and is provided behind the lens support portion 11 with a predetermined gap 32 between the lens support portion 11 and the lens support portion 11. The engagement portion 44 is an engagement protrusion 44 provided so as to protrude from an inner peripheral surface of a front end portion of the annular hood 4, and is provided on an outer periphery of the hood support portion 3 at the front end portion of the hood 4.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of hooded spectacles according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of a frame of the spectacles, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a main part of the frame, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a hood of the glasses, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a main part of the glasses.
[0006]
The hooded spectacles include a spectacle body having lenses 2 and 2 supported by a frame 1 and a hood 4 provided on the rear side of the spectacle body.
In this embodiment, the frame employs a metal frame, and includes lens support portions 11, 11 for supporting a pair of left and right lenses 2, 2, respectively. The left and right lens support portions 11, 11 are connected to each other by a bridge 12, and temples 13 are connected to both left and right ends via hinges as necessary.
[0007]
Each lens support 11 supports the entire circumference of each lens 2 in a ring shape, and the hood support 3 is provided behind (in a direction approaching the face). The hood support 3 has the same annular shape as the lens support 11 and is connected and fixed to the lens support 11 by a plurality of spacers 31. The spacer 31 fixes the distance between the hood support 3 and the lens support 11 at a predetermined distance (for example, 0.5 mm to 2 mm) and fixes the two. It is provided in places. The spacer 31 may be formed integrally with one of the hood support portion 3 and the lens support portion 11 and adhered to the other, and the three members 31, 3, and 11 may be formed separately. Or all may be formed integrally. The space between the spacers 31 serves as a receiving portion 32, into which an engaging projection 44 of the hood 4 described later is fitted.
[0008]
The hood 4 is formed of a transparent or opaque synthetic resin, and has a cylindrical shape with a front end 41 having substantially the same shape as the hood support 3. The hood 4 has a long side portion 42 extended rearward and a short side surface 43 that is relatively short and rearward extended. The long side 42 is positioned at the right end for the right eye, and is positioned at the left end for the left eye, so as to follow the left and right sides of the face. On the other hand, the short side surface 43 is adapted to fit well near the nose. The portion between the side surfaces 42 and 43 is also set to a predetermined length so as to conform to the shape of the face.
[0009]
The front end 41 of the hood 4 is provided with an engagement projection 44 as an engagement portion that fits into the hood support 3. More specifically, the front end portion 41 of the hood 4 has an inner peripheral surface having substantially the same size as the outer peripheral surface of the hood support portion 3, and the engaging projection 44 is formed radially inward from the inner peripheral surface. It is provided protruding toward. A plurality of the engaging projections 44 are provided at predetermined intervals, and the hood 4 is deformed and fitted into the plurality of receiving portions 32 to be fitted.
The hood 4 is formed of a material having a higher flexibility than the frame (for example, a soft synthetic resin or a medium-hard synthetic resin), and particularly has such flexibility that the above-mentioned deformation at the time of fitting is possible.
[0010]
FIG. 5 shows a state in which the hood 4 is attached. At the time of attachment, the outer peripheral surface of the hood support portion 3 is fitted to the front end portion 41 while deforming the hood 4. Thereby, the whole of the hood 4 is supported by the hood support 3 by the elasticity of the hood 4. At the same time, by engaging the engaging projections 44 with the receiving portions 32, the hood is securely attached to the frame. As is apparent from FIG. 5, the front end portion 41 of the hood 4 does not protrude forward from the lens support portion 11, and has an appearance similar to ordinary glasses. In addition, since the hood 4 has a cylindrical shape having a front end portion 41 having substantially the same shape as the hood support portion 3, the periphery of the eyes is covered by the hood, and pollen and dust are reliably prevented from entering from outside. be able to. When the hood 4 is removed, the hood 4 can be removed by pulling it out while deforming the hood.
[0011]
In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications. For example, in this example, the spacer 31 has the same thickness as the wire of the hood support portion 3 and the lens support portion 11, but has a suitable length in the circumferential direction as a flat shape. It may be something. The engaging projection 44 may have the same circumferential length as the receiving portion 32, but may have a shorter length. The number of the receiving portions 32 and the engaging projections 44 may or may not match. A plurality of short engaging projections 44 may be fitted into one receiving portion 32. Conversely, a structure may be adopted in which the engagement projections 44 are not fitted to a certain receiving portion 32, and the engagement projections 44 are fitted to only the other receiving portions 32. Further, a small protrusion for retaining may be provided on the tip end side of the engagement protrusion 44. Further, a protrusion may be provided on the hood support portion 3 and a receiving portion may be provided on the hood 4 side. However, in consideration of the appearance, it is advantageous to provide the engaging projections 44 on the hood 4 side. Although a metal frame is taken as an example of the frame, a synthetic resin frame may be used, or the frame may be implemented as sunglasses.
