Description

  The present invention relates to a spectacle frame, and more particularly to a resin spectacle frame that can be used for spectacles called sports glasses or sports sunglasses. It also relates to an armor for that type of spectacle frame.

Conventional eyeglass frame structures are disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2.
As an example of a conventional spectacle frame, as shown in FIG. 3 of Patent Document 1, a lens frame (frame body F1) is formed of a metal material having elasticity, and both ends thereof are divided vertically. The dividing unit 4 is provided. The lens 1 can be attached and detached by opening the dividing portion 4. Usually, since the lens frame (frame body F1) and the lens 1 are prepared separately, the size of the lens 1 is larger than the inner diameter of the lens frame. Therefore, the periphery of the lens 1 is trimmed to match the size of the lens frame (frame body F1). In order to adjust the size of the lens 1 to the size of the lens frame (frame main body F1), an adjustment operation is performed while opening the dividing portion 4 of the lens frame (frame main body F1) and fitting or removing the lens 1. . (See paragraph [0010] of Patent Document 1)
And in the state in which the lens 1 was mounted | worn, as FIG. 2 of patent document 1 shows, the division part 4 will be in the state closed without a gap.

Another example of a conventional spectacle frame is shown in FIG. This spectacle frame has a structure in which a lens frame (rim 2) is formed using a plastic resin material and is divided into an upper rim 2a and a lower rim 2b. The separately formed upper rim 2 a and lower rim 2 b are integrally connected by a screw shaft 6. (Refer to 5th page 3-7 line and 8th page 16-18 line of patent document 2)
In the case of this conventional example, when the periphery of the lens 1 is scraped to match the inner diameter of the spectacle frame (rim 2), the rim 2 can be divided into two parts up and down. be able to.

A lens frame provided with a divided part divided into upper and lower parts, and connected to the left and right lens frames, respectively, and fitted into a gap between the divided parts formed at the ends of the left and right lens frames, and a part of the frame A pair of armors having a protrusion to be formed, a body integrally formed with the protrusion and fitted so that the outside of the frame is extended, and is rotatably attached to the pair of armor And a pair of temples.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the left and right ends of the lens frame have a predetermined height in the vertical direction, and the main body of the armor has a vertical direction equal to the predetermined height of the end of the lens frame. It has a dimension and has a plate shape with a gently tapered shape whose size in the vertical direction narrows slightly toward the rear end, and the plate-shaped main body blocks light incident from the front left and right toward the eyes. The spectacle frame according to claim 1.

  The invention according to claim 3 is an eyeglass frame armor connected to the outer end of the lens frame, and has a predetermined height in the vertical direction, and the tip is fitted to the outer end of the lens frame. A plate-like main body to be obtained, and a protrusion that protrudes forward from substantially the center in the vertical direction of the tip of the main body and is inserted into a gap between the divided portions formed at the outer end of the lens frame to form a part of the frame, It is the armor for spectacles frames characterized by including.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the lens frame is integrally formed of resin, and the left end of the frame and the right end of the frame are divided vertically with a predetermined gap. Therefore, the operation of slightly expanding the lens frame dividing portion up and down and fitting or removing the lens on the lens frame can be performed simply by applying a small stress to the lens frame.
And since the predetermined clearance gap of a division | segmentation part is block | closed by the protrusion with which the armor was equipped, there is no possibility that the appearance of a lens frame may worsen. The armor has a structure in which the protrusion and the main body are integrally formed as in the structure of claim 2, and is continued obliquely rearward from the left and right ends of the lens frame, and the left and right sides of the lens frame are shielded from light. A closing structure is preferred.

With such a configuration, when the spectacle frame according to the present invention is applied to sports sunglasses or the like, oblique light incidence is blocked by the armor. Therefore, it can be set as the spectacles frame with a sufficient usability.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the armor of the spectacle frame is preferably made of resin by using an integrally formed structure including a plate-shaped main body and a protrusion protruding forward of the main body. Can do.
