TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a spectacle frame, and more particularly to a spectacle frame including a main spectacle frame and a sub spectacle frame.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as an example of an eyeglass frame including a main eyeglass frame and a sub-eyeglass frame, a frame in which a sub-eyeglass frame is attached to a front side of a main eyeglass frame via a hinge so as to be able to jump up is generally known.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional flip-up eyeglass frame having the above-described configuration, when the sub-eyeglass frame is flipped up on the front side of the main eyeglass frame, the lens held by the sub-eyeglass frame is positioned forward. It is necessary to pay attention to the surroundings when flipping up the main glasses frame because there is a possibility of hitting an obstacle. In addition, when the auxiliary glasses frame is flipped up, the weight of the auxiliary glasses frame causes the entire glasses frame to slip off from the mounting position. Furthermore, the style in which the secondary glasses frame is flipped gives a sloppy feeling, and is only accepted by certain consumers such as men. Furthermore, when only the lens of the main spectacle frame is used by flipping up the sub spectacle frame, it is not possible to block light from the side or dust from the side. Further, since the upper part of the main frame and the upper part of the sub-frame are connected by a hinge, it is not possible to use half of the lens of the sub-frame (half-hung lens such as reading glasses).
[0004]
The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems of the related art. When the auxiliary glasses frame is flipped up, there is no possibility that the lens of the auxiliary glasses frame will hit an obstacle in front. When the spectacle frame is flipped up, the weight of the lens of the auxiliary spectacle frame does not cause the entire spectacle frame to slip off from the mounting position, and the style is accepted by a wide range of consumers. It is an object of the present invention to provide a spectacle frame that can block light and dust and that can be used as a lens of an auxiliary spectacle frame even with a half-mounted lens such as reading glasses.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is directed to a pair of main frames, a bridge connected between inner edges of both main frames, and an outer edge of each main frame. The eyeglasses frame comprising a main eyeglasses frame made of temples and the like rotatably connected to each other, and a sub-eyeglass frame attached to the front side of the main eyeglasses frame, wherein the sub-eyeglasses frame is A means which is attached to each of the yoroi via a rotating mechanism and has a sub-frame which is rotatable between a front surface and a side surface of each of the main frames is employed. Further, according to a second aspect of the present invention, in the eyeglass frame according to the first aspect, the rotating mechanism connects an arm connected to each of the sub-frames and rotatably connects the arm to each of the yoroi. Means comprising a connecting pin and a stopper for limiting a rotation angle of the arm is employed.
[0006]

The sub-eyeglass frame 12 has a pair of annular sub-frames 13, 13, and a lens 14 is held on the inner diameter side of each sub-frame 13. Each sub-frame 13 is formed in an annular shape having substantially the same size and shape as each main frame 3 of the main spectacle frame 2, and is rotatably connected to each yoke 5 of the main spectacle frame 2 via a rotation mechanism 15. It has become so.
[0011]
The rotating mechanism 15 is integrally provided on the outer surface side of the corner 8 of each of the yoroi 5, and has a receiving section 16 having a concave cross-sectional shape in which an engaging groove 17 is formed on the upper surface side; The arm 19 has one end rotatably engaged with the inside of the arm 17, and a connecting pin 22 rotatably connected to the engagement groove 17 of the receiving portion 16 with one end of the arm 19. The sub-frame 13 is integrally connected to the other end of the arm 19.
[0012]
The engaging groove 17 of the receiving portion 16 is provided in a state penetrating in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface side of the receiving portion 16 so as to form a predetermined angle with one piece 6 or the other piece 7 of each of the yoro 5. The bottom surface side of the engagement groove 17 functions as a stopper 18 that limits the rotation angle of the arm 19, that is, the rotation angle of the sub-frame 13 connected to the arm 19. That is, by making one side surface of the arm 19 abut against the stopper 18, the rotation angle of the arm 19 (the sub-frame 13) to one side (the front side of the main frame 3) is restricted, and the other side surface of the arm 19 is formed. Is brought into contact with the stopper 18, whereby the rotation angle of the arm 19 (the sub-frame 13) to the other side (the side of the main frame 3) is limited.

The arm 19 is fixed by inserting a leg into a hole to be formed and a hole penetrating the corner 8 of the yoke 5, and fixing a tip end of the leg to a hole of the corner 8 of the yoke 5 by means such as a screw or welding. It can be rotatably connected to the engaging groove 17.
[0016]
By holding the lens 11 on the inner diameter side of each main frame 3 of the main spectacle frame 2 configured as described above, and holding the lens 14 on the inner diameter side of each sub-frame 13 of the sub-eyeglass frame 12, this embodiment is performed. The sub-frames 13 of the sub-glasses frame 12 are rotatable between the front side and the side (the side of the temple 9) of the main frame 3 of the main glasses frame 2, The lens 11 of each main frame 3 can be shielded by the lens 14 of each sub-frame 13, and the lens 14 of each sub-frame 13 can be retracted from the lens 11 of each main frame 3.

In the spectacle frame 1 according to this embodiment configured as described above, the sub-frames 13 of the sub-eyeglass frame 12 are rotatably connected to the corners 8 of the yoro 5 via the turning mechanism 15. Then, when turned to one side, the front side of each main frame 3 is shielded, and when turned to the other side, it is positioned on the side surface of the temple 9 in a substantially orthogonal state to each main frame 3.
[0018]
Therefore, unlike the conventional one, there is no possibility that the lens 14 of the sub-frame 13 hits an obstacle in front, and it is not necessary to pay attention to surrounding obstacles when rotating the sub-frame 13. In addition, when the sub-frame 13 is rotated to be positioned on the side surface of the temple 9, the weight of the lens 14 of the sub-frame 13 is mainly applied to the temple 9 side. As a result, the entire glasses frame 1 does not slip off from the mounting position. Furthermore, a novel style in which the sub-frame 13 is located on the side surface of the temple 9 can be obtained, so that it can be expected to be accepted by a wide range of consumers. Furthermore, when the lens 14 of the sub-frame 13 is retracted from the lens 11 of the main frame 3, the lens 14 of the sub-frame 13 is located on the side surface of the temple 9 (a position orthogonal to the lens 11 of the main frame 3). Therefore, an effect of blocking light, dust and the like from the side can be expected. Further, since the sub-frame 13 is rotatably connected to each of the yoro 5 via the rotation mechanism 15, even a half-hung lens such as reading glasses can be sufficiently held on the inner diameter side of the sub-frame 13. Become.

【The invention's effect】
The present invention is configured as described above, and the sub-frame of the sub-eyeglass frame is attached to each of the yoroils via a rotation mechanism so that the front and side surfaces of each main frame are rotatable. When the frame is rotated, there is no possibility that the lens of the sub-frame hits an obstacle in front, and it is not necessary to pay attention to surrounding obstacles. Also, when the sub-frame is rotated and positioned on the side of the main frame, the weight of the lens of the sub-frame is mainly applied to the temple side. It does not slip off its position. Furthermore, a novel style in which the sub-frame is located on the side of the main frame is obtained, so that it can be expected to be accepted by a wide range of consumers. Further, by arranging the lens of the sub-frame on the side of the main frame, an effect of blocking light, dust and the like from the side can be expected. Further, since the sub-frame is connected to each of the yoroi via the rotating mechanism, even a half-hung lens such as reading glasses can be sufficiently held on the inner diameter side of the sub-frame, and versatility can be improved.
