Therefore, it is possible to set and adjust the position of the nose pads, the spacing between the nose pads, the mounting angle of the nose pads, etc. according to the shape, size, position, etc. of the customer's nose. A good wearing feeling can be provided to many people with different positions and the like.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described.
1 and 2 show an embodiment of a nose pad assembly and a spectacle frame according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of FIG.

  That is, the nose pad assembly 1 includes a support base 2 attached to a front portion 26 of a spectacle frame 20 described later, a pad foot 10 provided integrally with the support base 2, and a nose pad 15 attached to the pad foot 10. It has.

  The support base 2 has a substantially triangular plate shape formed by three curved surfaces 3 whose circumferential surfaces are curved inward, and each of the top portions (first top portions 4, 1, 4) located between the adjacent curved surfaces 3, 3. The tip ends of the second top portion 5 and the third top portion 6) are chamfered to form a substantially flat surface.

  The first top portion 4 of the support base 2 is formed as an attachment portion for attachment to a front portion 26 of the spectacle frame 20 described later, and the second top portion 5 and the third top portion 6 are support portions for supporting the pad foot 10. The pad foot 10 is integrally formed along the curved surface 3 formed between the second top portion 5 and the third top portion 6.

  The support base 2 is formed of a material corresponding to the material of the front portion 26 of the spectacle frame 20. For example, when the front portion 26 is formed of synthetic resin, it is formed of synthetic resin, and the front portion 26 is formed of metal. In some cases, it is made of metal. In this embodiment, since the front portion 26 is made of synthetic resin, the support base 2 is made of synthetic resin. The kind of the synthetic resin and metal constituting the support base 2 is not particularly limited, and various known synthetic resins and metals can be used. Note that the support base 2 is not limited to the above-described shape, and may be another known shape.

  The pad foot 10 is formed from a metal wire 11 that can be elastically deformed, and a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the wire 11 is formed between the second top portion 5 and the third top portion 6 of the support base 2. The wire 11 is embedded along the curved surface 3, one end of the wire 11 is pulled out from the second top 5, bent downward into a predetermined shape, and this portion is used as a pad foot 10, and the other end of the wire 11 Is pulled out from the third top portion 6 and bent downward into a predetermined shape, and this portion is used as a pad foot 10.

  The front end portion of each pad foot 10 is folded upward, and the portion is formed in a substantially U-shaped nose pad attachment portion 12 having a spring force that opens upward, and a nose pad 15 described later is formed on the nose pad attachment portion 12. By fitting the pad core 17, the nose pad 15 is attached to the pad foot 10.

  The nose pad mounting portion 12 is not limited to the substantially U shape as described above, and although not shown, a box-shaped pad box may be integrally provided at the tip of the pad foot. In this case, the pad core on the nose pad side may be attached to the pad box with screws.

  The nose pad 15 is formed of a synthetic resin such as a silicon resin, and as shown in FIG. 2, the nose pad 15 is provided integrally with the elliptical plate-shaped pad body 16 and the center of the back surface of the pad body 16. It is composed of a cylindrical pad core 17.

  A groove 18 having a predetermined width and depth is provided at the base portion of the pad core 17 over the entire circumference. By fitting the nose pad mounting portion 12 of the pad foot 10 into the groove 18, a nose pad is formed. 15 is attached to the pad foot 10.

  The nose pad 15 is not limited to the above-mentioned shape, and has various known shapes such as a circular plate shape, an elliptical plate shape whose one end is wider than the other end. Can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the eyeglass frame 20 according to the present invention is integrally formed with a pair of annular rims 21, 21, a bridge 22 that connects between the inner edges of the rims 21, 21, and an outer edge of each rim 21. The armor 23 is provided, and the temple 25 is rotatably connected to each armor 23 via a hinge 24. The front part 26 is constituted by the pair of rims 21, 21, the bridge 22 and the armor 23, 23. The nose pad assembly 1 according to the present invention is integrally attached to the back side of the bridge 22 of the front portion 26.

  The rims 21, 21, the bridge 22, the armatures 23, 23 and the temples 25, 25 of the eyeglass frame 20 are formed of metal, synthetic resin, or a combination of metal and synthetic resin. In this embodiment, the rims 21, 21, bridge 22, armor 23, 23 and temples 25, 25 are made of synthetic resin.

  In the nose pad assembly 1, the first top portion 4 (attachment portion) of the support base 2 is bonded to the center portion on the back surface side of the bridge 22 of the front portion 26 having the above-described configuration, such as an adhesive or heat fusion. By being integrally joined by 30, the front part 26 is integrally attached.

  As the joining means 30, a material corresponding to the material of the front portion 26 is used. In this embodiment, since the front portion 26 is made of a synthetic resin, an adhesive, heat fusion, or the like is used. When the front portion 26 is formed of metal and the support base 2 of the nose pad assembly 1 is formed of metal, the support base 2 may be joined to the back surface side of the front portion 26 by welding or the like.

  Then, by attaching the nose pad assembly 1 to the front portion 26 as described above, the spectacle frame 20 according to the present invention is configured, and a lens (see FIG. Glasses can be configured by attaching (not shown).

  In the nose pad assembly 1 and the spectacle frame 20 according to this embodiment configured as described above, the nose pad assembly 1 is obtained by joining the support base 2 to the back side of the front portion 26 by the joining means 30. Since it is configured to be attached to the front portion 26, it is easy to attach the nose pad assembly 1 to the front portion 26. Further, since the mounting position of the nose pad assembly 1, that is, the position of the nose pads 15, 15 can be set according to the shape, size, position, etc. of the nose of the person to be used, the nose shape, size, position, etc. A good fit can be provided to many different people.

  Further, since the pad foot 10 is formed from a metal wire 11 that can be elastically deformed, the pad foot 10 is bent to a predetermined shape and angle according to the shape, size, position, etc. of the nose of the person to be used. By doing so, the position of the nose pads 15 and 15, the distance between the nose pads 15 and 15, the angle of the nose pads 15 and 15 and the like can be adjusted. Therefore, since it is possible to deal with many people having different shapes, sizes, positions, etc. of the nose, it is possible to provide a good wearing feeling to many people.

1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a nose pad assembly and an eyeglass frame according to the present invention. It is the elements on larger scale of FIG.
