Description

  The present invention relates to portable eyeglass cleaning.

  “Toraysee (registered trademark)” manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc., using well-known glasses wipes, chamois skin, and ultra-fine fibers (100% polyester) with a diameter of about 2 microns (cross-sectional area ratio: 1/600 of hair) It has been known.

  Such glasses wipe is often carried in a spectacle case, and the spectacle case is carried in a wide inner pocket or a portable bag, but is unexpectedly bulky. In addition, apart from the case of using glasses according to the time, place, and case, it is often the case that a spectacle case is not very necessary for a spectacle user who wears only the same glasses.

For this reason, it can be easily assumed that the spectacle case is not carried, but the wiping of spectacles in the spectacle case tends to be forgotten. Even when only these cloth-made eyeglass wipes are carried, they are small and are lost or forgotten.
Therefore, handkerchiefs and tissue paper can be used instead of wiping glasses, but handkerchiefs and tissue paper are not originally made of materials for delicate spectacle lenses. Dirt may adhere to the lens of the glasses, and there is resistance. And when using tissue paper, it is difficult to process the tissue paper after wiping.
Therefore, there has been a demand for a glasses wiping proposal that is not lost, bulky, and easily portable.
In addition, as a literature of spectacles wiping, patent document 1 is mentioned, for example.
JP-A-8-220492

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a problem to be solved is to provide a spectacle wipe that can be used exclusively as a spectacle wipe and is portable.

  Therefore, the present invention employs the following means.

(1) That is, the portable spectacles wiping of the present invention has a pair of main bodies having surfaces to be opposed to each other, and a spectacle wiping cleaner member is provided on each of the opposing surfaces. Therefore, if the opposing surfaces of the pair of main bodies are opposed to each other, the glasses lens is sandwiched between the opposing surfaces, and the main body is moved along the lens surface in this state, the dirt on the lens surface can be removed by the cleaner member. As the cleaner member, a known chamois or “Toraysee (registered trademark)” manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc. described above can be used. Further, a sponge or the like may be included inside.

(2) Moreover, you may make it have a pair of string by which one end was each connected with the said pair of main body, and the other end was connected, and the tubular body by which each string was slidably inserted. Since the pair of strings whose one ends are respectively connected to the pair of main bodies are connected to each other at the other ends, it is possible to prevent only one of them from being lost.
Since the tubular body can slide with respect to the pair of strings, the length of the pair of strings can be adjusted between the pair of main bodies and the tubular body. The longer the length of the cord in between, the greater the degree of freedom of movement of the body, and the shorter the length, the smaller the degree of freedom. If the degree of freedom is large, the pair of main bodies can be easily sandwiched between the lenses regardless of the thickness of the lens. On the other hand, if the degree of freedom is small, the pair of main bodies are less likely to shake. Accordingly, if the degree of freedom is reduced and the shaking of the main body is suppressed, it is convenient to carry the glasses wipe and is not bulky. Therefore, he / she actively possesses glasses wiping and is less likely to forget.
In use, the tubular body is placed in a position retracted from the main body, and the lens of the spectacles is sandwiched with the degree of freedom of movement of the main body increased, but the tubular body is moved to the main body side according to the thickness and size of the lens. Since the movement of the main body is regulated with the lens sandwiched, both surfaces of the lens are wiped in that state.

(3) Instead of connecting a pair of cords at each other end, both ends are connected to the pair of main bodies to form a loop, and a tube in which the looped cord is slidably inserted. You may make it have a body.
The string referred to in the above (2) and (3) may be a thin string attached to a strap for a mobile phone at a connection portion with the main body. Furthermore, you may attach a small loop-shaped string to the other end side on the opposite side to a main body.

(4) Further, the main body is preferably smaller than the lens of the eyeglasses and can be pressed with the belly of the thumb or forefinger, and usually a size of about 10 yen or 1 yen is sufficient. An example is one in which foaming urethane or sponge is inserted inside a resinous sheet, but a magnet may be incorporated. In that case, at least one of the main bodies may include a magnet, and the other main body may include a magnetic material that can be attracted to the magnet. As a result, the pair of main bodies are attracted to each other, and the two do not move freely when carried and the strings are not entangled.
Trademarks, advertisements, logo marks, etc. may be displayed on the surface of the main body.

(5) It is desirable that the magnet and the magnetic body generate a magnetic force that can be attracted even through a lens between them. If the magnetic force is strong, by moving one main body, the other main body can follow this and wipe the lens surface.

(6) Instead of the above-described portable spectacle wiping, a pair of main bodies having surfaces to be opposed, a cleaner member for wiping spectacles provided on the opposing surfaces of the pair of main bodies, and one end on each of the pair of main bodies May be a portable eyeglass wiper having a pair of connecting strips made of flexible members that are connected to each other and the other ends connected to each other.

(7) In this case, it is preferable that the pair of main bodies include a coupling member that couples the pair of main bodies so that the opposing surfaces thereof coincide with each other. If the opposing surfaces are matched by the coupling member, the opposing surfaces are protected and can be made difficult to be scratched or torn. However, if the flexible member has a large elastic restoring force, the coupling member is not necessarily required.

(8) It is conceivable that the coupling member is provided to face the peripheral edge portions of the pair of main bodies.

(9) As said coupling member, the case of the recessed part and convex part which can be mutually fitted provided in one and the other of said pair of main body can be illustrated, respectively.

(10) As another example of the coupling member, the coupling member of one main body is a magnet, and the coupling member of the other main body is a magnetic body that can be attracted to the magnet.

The portable spectacles wipe of the present invention can be carried without being bulky and is less likely to be lost. Further, since the opposing surfaces are matched by the pair of main body coupling members, the opposing surfaces are protected and can be prevented from becoming dirty.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter, embodiments) will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
(First embodiment)

  1 to 9 show a first embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as a first embodiment).

  The portable glasses wipe 1 (hereinafter referred to as “glasses wipe 1”) is a pair of cleaner bodies 3 having surfaces to be opposed to each other and a cleaner for wiping glasses provided on a cleaner surface 3a that is an opposed surface of the pair of cleaner bodies 3. A member 5, a string 7 having both ends connected to the pair of cleaner main bodies 3 to form a loop, and a tubular body 9 into which the looped string 7 is slidably inserted.

  The cleaner body 3 has an outer shape somewhat smaller than that of a spectacle lens and has a flat dish shape. The size is, for example, about 10 yen coin or 1 yen coin. Further, the outer surface 3b except for the cleaner surface 3a is covered with, for example, a vinyl material, leather material, plastic material, metal or the like (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cleaner member 5 uses “Toraysee (registered trademark)” 5b manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc. on the surface, encloses a sponge 5a inside, and incorporates them in the cleaner body 3.

  A string 7 is connected to the cleaner body 3. The string 7 is a so-called strap, and examples of the material include vinyl, cloth, leather and the like, and those knitted as a string. A lock ring 8 for locking the glasses wipe 1 to a key holder (not shown) is provided on the bending point 7 a side of the string 7. As the locking ring 8, a metal ring chain or other locking ring is applied. Needless to say, the string 7 may be directly attached to the key holder without the locking ring 8.

  The tubular body 9 is a pipe that is externally fitted from the bending point 7a side in a state where the loop-like string 7 is overlapped, and the overlapped state of the string 7 is slidable. Between the outer surface of the string 7 and the inner surface of the tubular body 9, the degree of tight fitting (inner diameter) of the tubular body 9 and the friction coefficient of the string 7 and the tubular body 9 are determined so as to generate a certain amount of frictional force. The closer the tubular body 9 is to the bending point 7 a side of the string 7, the greater the freedom of movement of the cleaner body 3. Conversely, the closer the tubular body 9 is to the distal end side of the string 7, the more the movement of the cleaner body 3 is suppressed. The degree of freedom becomes small (see FIGS. 1 and 4). The tubular body 9 may be a metal tube, a wooden tube, or a coil spring. The longer the length, the easier it is to pick with a finger, and it is also possible to hold a tubular body and sandwich the spectacle lens between the main bodies. 1 cm to 2 cm is preferable. In addition, even if the length of the tubular body is shortened, the function of regulating the movement of the main body is not impaired. In that case, the tubular body becomes a ring.

  Next, the usage method of such a spectacles wipe 1 is demonstrated.

(1) The tubular body 9 is slid to the bending point 7a side to increase the degree of freedom between the pair of cleaner bodies 3 (see FIGS. 4 and 1).
(2) With the cleaner surfaces 3a of the pair of cleaner bodies 3 facing each other, the lens 13 of the glasses 11 is sandwiched between the cleaner surfaces 3a (see FIG. 3).
(3) In the state of (2), the cleaner body 3 is moved along the lens surface, and the lens surface is scraped off with the cleaner surface 3a (see FIG. 3).
(4) When the dirt is removed, remove the cleaner body 3 from the lens 13.
(5) The tubular body 9 is moved to the cleaner body 3 side to reduce the degree of freedom of the cleaner body 3 (see FIG. 4).
(6) The locking ring 8 is locked to a key holder (not shown).
If the degree of freedom of movement of the cleaner body 3 is large by sliding the tubular body 9, the pair of cleaner bodies 3 can be easily sandwiched between the lenses 13 regardless of the thickness of the lens 13. On the other hand, if the degree of freedom is small, the pair of cleaner bodies 3 are less likely to shake.

  Therefore, the degree of freedom is increased when using the eyeglass wipe 1, but the degree of freedom is reduced and the shaking of the cleaner main body 3 is suppressed when the eyeglass wiper 1 is locked to the key holder for carrying. Thus, the glasses wipe 1 can be carried, and it is not necessary to carry the glasses wipe 1 in the glasses case as in the prior art. Therefore, he / she actively possesses eyeglass wipes and is less likely to forget.

  In recent years, with the development of communication devices, everyone holds cellular phones and simple cellular phones. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the locking ring 8 is locked to the strap attaching portion 14a of these cellular phones 14. If the eyeglass wipe 1 is suspended, forgetting to hold the eyeglass wiper is further reduced.

  FIG. 6 shows a first application example, in which one cleaner body 3 has a magnet 15 and the other cleaner body 3 has a magnet 17 that can adsorb the magnet 15. Is. The magnet 15 and the magnetic body 17 generate a magnetic force that can be attracted even through the lens 13 therebetween. By doing so, the stability when the lens 13 is wiped with the eyeglass wipe 1 is increased, and it is possible to prevent the cleaner body 3 from being accidentally dropped during the eyeglass wipe.

  FIG. 7 shows a second application example in which the cleaner member 5 is detachably attached to the cleaner body 3. In performing the attachment / detachment, it is preferable to attach Velcro (registered trademark) or other hook-and-loop fasteners 18 to the opposing surfaces of the cleaner member 5 and the cleaner body 3, for example, the bottom outer surface of the cleaner member 5 and the bottom inner surface of the cleaner body 3.

  FIGS. 8A and 8B show a third application example, in which the cleaner member 5 is thick enough to protrude from the cleaner outer surface 3b, and has a flat trapezoidal shape with a tapered side surface. The case is shown in a perspective view and a side view. This is effective when the outer surface 3b of the cleaner is formed of a metal or a plastic having high hardness, and prevents the edge of the outer surface 3b of the cleaner or the surface made of metal or plastic from being damaged when hitting the lens.

  FIG. 9 shows a fourth application example in which a pocket 3c made of a transparent vinyl sheet is formed on the outer surface 3b of the cleaner body. Goods 18 such as a shrine, traffic safety and other amulets, photos, etc. are placed in this pocket 3c. By providing such a pocket 3c, the added value of wiping glasses can be increased.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, with reference to FIGS. 10-16, 2nd Embodiment (henceforth 2nd Embodiment) of this invention is shown.

The glasses wiping 1A according to the second embodiment is different from the glasses wiping 1 according to the first embodiment in that (1) a strap is different and a pair of flat connection made of a flexible member is used. And (2) having a coupling member 20 that couples the pair of cleaner bodies 3 to the cleaner body 3 so that the cleaner surfaces 3a thereof coincide with each other. Therefore, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

  One end of the pair of connecting strips 7A is formed integrally with the cleaner body 3, and the other end is coupled by bonding or other coupling means.

  The coupling member 20 is formed by providing concave portions 23 and convex portions 25 on the velas 21 and 21 that are respectively provided facing the peripheral edge portions of the pair of cleaner bodies 3 (see FIGS. 10 to 12). By fitting the concave portion 23 and the convex portion 25 of the coupling member 20, the cleaner surface 3 a can be matched. As a result, the cleaner surface 3a is protected and is difficult to be scratched or torn (see FIGS. 11 and 12).

Further, as in the first application example of the coupling member 20 shown in FIG. 13, instead of the concave portion 23 and the convex portion 25, a magnet 27 is provided on the spatula 21 of one cleaner body 3, and the spatula 21 of the other cleaner body 3. Even if the magnet 27 and the magnetic body 29 that can be attracted are provided, the cleaner surface 3a can be protected as in the case of the concave-convex coupling.
In the second embodiment, a bead-like chain is applied to the locking ring 8 (see FIGS. 110 and 11).

  Further, as in the second application example of the coupling member 20 shown in FIG. 14, one of the spatulas 21 and 21 is somewhat extended to form a plate-like belt-like portion 21a, and the other spatula 21 has a belt-like portion. Even when a hole 21b such as a belt through hole through which 21a passes is formed and both are fitted, the cleaner surfaces 3a of the pair of cleaner bodies 3 can be matched with each other, so that the cleaner surface 3a can be protected. it can.

  In this case, the belt-like portion 21a is passed through the hole portion 21b by moving the belt-like portion 21a from the inside to the outside of the cleaner surface 3a. However, as shown in the third application example in FIG. The belt-like portion 21a can be inserted into the hole portion 21b from the outer side to the inner side with respect to the hole portion 21b.

  Furthermore, as shown in the fourth application example of FIG. 16, it is also possible to apply both of the spars 21 and 21 to key-shaped female / male engaging portions 21c and 21d.

  As described above, some of the coupling members 20 are illustrated. In short, the coupling member 20 may have any form as long as the coupling members 20 can match the cleaner surfaces 3a of the pair of cleaner bodies 3 with each other.

  As in the case of the first embodiment, the second embodiment is convenient for carrying and is not bulky. Therefore, he / she actively possesses eyeglass wipes and is less likely to forget.

  The present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples described above, and it goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  For example, even in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a magnet or a magnetic material may be placed in the cleaner body. In that case, the magnets may be built in both the main body with the N and S poles facing each other, but the other may be an iron piece. Furthermore, it becomes a substitute of the coupling member provided in the cleaner main body 3 also by making the connecting strip 7A into a plate magnet.

In addition, when distributing this eyeglass wipe as goods to be distributed at events and campaigns aimed at promoting various products, trademarks, catchphrases, photographs, etc. are printed on the surface of the cleaner body, strings or connecting strips as advertising media. This product can also be used.
Furthermore, the shape of the cleaner main body is shown as having a circular front shape in the above embodiment, but in accordance with the purpose of the event or campaign, the shape of the organizer's trademark, the shape of the image character, or the animal or vehicle. Other shapes can be used.
