  Hereinafter, a head-mounted device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Hereinafter, as an example of a head-mounted device, a configuration of a spectacle-type magnifier with a light will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a configuration of a spectacle loupe 100 with a light according to the first embodiment. A spectacle-type loupe with a light 100 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as spectacle-type loupe) includes a frame 1, a light (illuminating device) 5 and a loupe 7 attached to the frame 1, and a wiring 3 connected to the light 5. It has.

  The wiring 3 is a conductive wire used to connect the battery 9 prepared outside the spectacles-type loupe 100 and the light 5 supported by the spectacles-type loupe 100 and supply power to the light 5. The wiring 3 includes a positive wiring 3a and a negative wiring 3b. The positive wiring 3a and the negative wiring 3b are connected to the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery 9 via cables 3a ′ and 3b ′, respectively. Yes. The cables 3a 'and 3b' provided between the battery 9 and the wiring 3 may be a conductor integrated with the plus wiring 3a and the minus wiring 3b, or connected to the ends of the plus wiring 3a and the minus wiring 3b. Alternatively, a separately provided conductor may be used.

  When worn, the frame 1 of the spectacle-type loupe 100 passes through the vicinity of the eyebrows of a user (not shown) and extends in the horizontal direction in front of the face and the vicinity of the temples of the user. And a pair of arms 1b arranged to extend horizontally on the side of the face.

  The arm 1b is connected to both ends of the eyebrow 1a (the end portion of the eyeglasses). The arm 1b may be foldably connected to the eyebrow 1a by a hinge or the like, or may be formed integrally with the eyebrow 1a.

  Moreover, the edge part of the arm 1b on the opposite side to the side connected to the eyebrow part 1a forms the free end. The user can attach the spectacles-type loupe 100 to the head in such a manner that the free end of the arm 1b is supported by the ear. The free end of the arm 1b is not limited to a linear shape as shown in FIG. 1, and may have a curved shape that easily fits the ear, as in general glasses.

  In the present embodiment, the frame 1 is preferably made of a material having good electrical insulation. As the material of the frame 1, for example, synthetic fiber materials such as acetate and celluloid, other resin materials, and the like can be used. Since the frame 1 is a part that directly touches the human body, it is desirable to select a material that does not affect the human body. As the material of the frame 1, an alloy material having low conductivity such as a titanium alloy may be used in addition to the resin material. When the wiring 3 is covered with an insulating material, the frame 1 can be formed of an arbitrary metal material. Furthermore, the frame 1 may be formed of a metal material whose surface is covered with a resin material, or may be formed of a natural material such as wood, bamboo, animal skin or horn.

  The eyebrows 1a and the arms 1b may be formed of different materials. For example, the eyebrows 1a may be formed of a resin material and the arms 1b may be formed of an alloy material. However, from the viewpoint of improving the strength, it is preferable to integrally form the frame 1 including the eyebrows 1a and the arms 1b.

  In this embodiment, the light 5 is attached around the center of the eyebrows 1a of the frame 1 (a position corresponding to the user's eyebrows when worn). As the light 5, various known lighting devices including a light source such as an LED or an incandescent bulb can be used.

  As the light 5, it is often preferable to use a light that can uniformly irradiate the work surface in order to improve workability. As such a light 5, an illumination device (uniform illumination) configured to improve the uniformity of illuminance by emitting light from a surface light source through two lenses arranged close to each other is used. For example, it is disclosed in International Publication No. 2014/017262 and International Publication No. 2014/017652. The uniform illumination is configured to emit light emitted from an LED through a small-diameter meniscus lens and a large-diameter plano-convex lens, for example.

  The light 5 may be supported by the eyebrows 1a of the frame 1 in various ways. The light 5 may be supported by the eyebrows 1a via various known angle adjusting mechanisms applied to headlights or the like so that the irradiation direction can be adjusted.

  A loupe 7 formed of a translucent plate member is attached to the eyebrows 1a of the frame 1. A lens surface is provided on the surface of the loupe 7, so that the user can observe an enlarged image through the loupe 7.

  The loupe 7 may be fixed so as not to move with respect to the eyebrows 1a, or may be supported so as to be slidable or turnable. There are no particular limitations on the manner in which the loupe 7 and the frame 1 are fixed and supported. Further, the loupe 7 is not limited to a plate-shaped translucent member as shown in the figure, and for example, a pair of cylindrical or disk-shaped loupes configured to be disposed at the positions of both eyes can also be used. Moreover, the loupe 7 may be replaceable depending on the application, and can be changed to an arbitrary magnification desired by the user.

  It goes without saying that the spectacle-type magnifier with light 100 may include other various members. For example, like other general glasses, a nose pad fixed to the frame 1 or the loupe 7 may be provided. The nose pad is provided so as to come into contact with the user's nose when worn, and the spectacles magnifier 100 is supported at the nose. Thereby, stability of mounting can be improved.

  In the glasses-type loupe 100 with a light of the present embodiment, the wiring 3 extending from the light 5 is held so as to be wound along the frame 1. More specifically, the wiring 3 extends from the light 5 along the eyebrow 1a of the frame 1, and is further held so as to extend along the arm 1b to the free end. And it is made free from the free end of the arm 1b. In this embodiment, the plus wiring 3a and the minus wiring 3b are separated from the back of the light 5 on both sides and extend along the eyebrows 1a, and are further held so as to extend along the separate arms 1b. ing.

  Hereinafter, a mode in which the plus wiring 3a and the minus wiring 3b are held by the arm 1b will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIGS. 2A1 and 2A2 are cross-sectional views (corresponding to the X cross section shown in FIG. 1) for explaining a mode in which the plus wiring 3a is detachably held by the arm 1b. Similarly, FIGS. 2B1 and 2B2 are cross-sectional views for explaining another mode in which the plus wiring 3a is detachably held by the arm 1b.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 (a1), (a2), (b1), and (b2), a groove 1G that extends along the direction in which the arm 1b extends is provided on the outer surface of the arm 1b. The grooves 1G may have a rectangular cross section as shown in FIGS. 2 (a1) and (a2), or may have a semispherical cross section as shown in FIGS. 2 (b1) and (b2). . The groove 1G is provided in a suitable shape according to the cross-sectional shape of the wiring 3a to be held. In the form shown in FIGS. 2 (a1) and (a2), the shape of the groove 1G is defined so as to fit the wiring 3a which is a flat cable. In the form shown in FIGS. 2 (b1) and (b2), a round cable is used. The shape of the groove 1G is defined so as to be adapted to a certain wiring 3a.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 (a1) and (b1), in this embodiment, the wiring 3a arranged outside the groove 1G of the arm 1b is placed in the groove 1G as shown in FIGS. 2 (a2) and (b2). The arm 1b is held by pressing and fitting. The size (cross-sectional area) of the groove 1G is set to be slightly smaller than the size (outer diameter) of the wiring 3. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 1G is not limited to a rectangle or a hemisphere. For example, in order to hold the wiring more firmly, as shown in FIGS. 2 (c1), (c2), (d1), and (d2), a portion wider than the opening is provided on the back side, and the wiring 3 The groove may be formed so as to cover a greater part of the groove.

  Further, the wiring 3 is not limited to a flat cable or a round cable. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (e1) and 2 (e2), T-shaped cables having different sizes may be used in a portion that fits into the groove 1G and a portion that covers the arm 1b. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the arm 1b is not limited to the substantially rectangular shape as described above, and as shown in FIGS. 2 (f1) and (f2), the arm 1b is thick around the groove 1G holding the wiring 3, It may be thin at the end. In such a configuration, the weight of the entire frame can be reduced without reducing the force for holding the wiring 3.

  In this embodiment, the wiring 3 is covered with an insulating coating, and the coating can be elastically deformed. Therefore, if the wiring 3 is pushed into the groove 1G using the elastic deformation of the coating, the wiring 3 can be held in the groove 1G by the restoring force of the coating. However, if the wiring 3 is pulled with a strong force so that the wiring 3 is detached from the groove 1G (that is, the frame 1 and the wiring 3 are separated), the wiring 3 can be removed from the groove 1G relatively easily. it can. By providing a part having a particularly narrow width in a part of the groove 1G as compared with other parts, the wiring can be held particularly strongly in that part. For example, by reducing the width of the groove near the free end portion of the arm 1b and the connecting portion between the arm 1b and the eyebrow 1a, if the wiring is removed with strong force at these two points when removing the wiring, the remaining wiring is It can also be configured so that it can be removed with a relatively weak force.

  In order to prevent unintentional detachment of the wiring 3 from the groove 1G, for example, a fastening mechanism (such as a clip) may be provided near the free end of the arm 1b. The fastening mechanism is not intended to permanently fasten the wiring 3 to the arm 1b, so that the wiring 3 can be detached from the arm 1b as desired (that is, the wiring 3 is temporarily fastened to the arm 1b). As configured). The fastening mechanism may be provided integrally with the frame or may be provided as a separate member.

  The wiring 3 and the frame 1 may be held in a detachable manner by applying a releasable adhesive material to these contact surfaces. Of course, a mode in which the holding by the adhesive material and the holding by fitting into the groove are combined may be employed.

  The wiring 3 may not be held over the entire arm 1b up to the free end of the arm 1b. For example, in a predetermined region near the free end of the arm 1b, the arm 1b may not be provided with the groove 1G, and the wiring 3 may be configured not to be restrained by the arm 1b. However, it is preferable that the wiring 3 is in a free state from behind the user's ear. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the wiring 3 is detachably held by the arm 1b at, for example, a portion of 80% or more, more specifically 90% or more of the arm 1b.

  The material of the insulating coating covering the wiring 3 may be arbitrarily selected from known materials in consideration of insulation and flexibility. Examples of the insulating coating material include polyurethane, polyester, polyester-nylon, polyester-imide, vinyl chloride material, rubber material, and fluororesin. In addition, examples of the material of the conductive wire constituting the wiring 3 include copper, silver, and aluminum.

  In the above description, the mode in which the positive wiring 3a is held by the arm 1b on one side has been described, but the mode similar to the above is also applied when the negative wiring 3b is held by the other arm 1b.

  As described above, the spectacles-type loupe 100 with a light according to the first embodiment has been described. In the spectacles-type loupe 100, the wiring 3 is held along the frame 1 (the eyebrows 1a and the arm 1b), and the wiring 3 is in the field of view when used. Because it does not enter, the usability is high. In addition, since a large wiring holding member is not used and it is configured to be lightweight and compact, it is excellent in wearing feeling. Further, the frame can be formed integrally with the eyebrows, and the physical strength can be increased. The battery 9 connected to the eyeglass-type loupe 100 shown in FIG. 1 may be configured to be worn on the user's waist or behind the neck.

  Further, since the wiring 3 is detachably held on the frame 1, the light 5 is removed from the frame and used, the light 5 is replaced with another one, or the electric device having another function other than the light is replaced. Can also be performed more easily than when the wiring is fixed to the frame. Also, from a visual point of view, it is easy to change the appearance by changing the color of the wiring, and it is possible to provide high fashionability that matches the user's preference.

  If the light 5 is provided with a switch, the light 5 and the frame 1 may be shifted at the time of switching. For this reason, the switch may be attached to the battery 9, for example. Note that a proximity sensor may be incorporated in the light 5 so that it can be switched on and off without touching it by hand. In this case, since on / off can be controlled without touching the hand, switching can be performed without worrying about dirt attached to the hand.
