Abstract

To obtain spectacles capable of relaxing a brain.SOLUTION: When a switch is turned on in a state where glasses 100 are worn, vibration of 8 to 12 Hz generated by a right transducer 17a and a left transducer 17b is transmitted to a brain via a cheek bone through right and left pads 16a and 16b which are depressed against the cheek bone by elasticity of a right support rod 15a and a left support rod 15b. When a vibration wave is applied from outside, the brain tends to generate brain waves synchronized therewith. The brain subjected to vibration of 8 to 12 Hz generates the brain waves synchronized with the vibration of 8 to 12 Hz. The brain waves of 8 to 12 Hz are called, what are called, alpha waves, and the brain generating the alpha wave is in a relaxed state. In other words, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to relax the brain by certainly transmitting the vibration of 8 to 12 Hz to the brain.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Hereinafter, the eyeglasses 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Hereinafter, when the spectacles 100 are worn on the head, the direction in which the wearer's face faces is referred to as the front, the occipital direction of the wearer is referred to as the rear, the head side of the spectacles 100 is referred to as the inside, and the opposite direction is referred to as the outside. The right direction is called the right side, and the left direction is called the left side.

The eyeglasses 100 include a right rim 11a and a left rim 11b that hold the lens 10, a bridge 12 that connects the right rim 11a and the left rim 11b, a right temple 13a and a left temple 13b, and a right modern 14a and a left modern 14b. It mainly includes a right support rod 15a and a left support rod 15b, a right pad 16a and a left pad 16b, a right oscillator 17a and a left oscillator 17b, and a control unit 18, but does not have a nose pad.

The right rim 11a and the left rim 11b form an annular shape, and the lens 10 is fitted on the inner circumference of the annular shape. The right temple 13a has a rod shape having a rectangular cross section, is attached to the right rim 11a so as to be swingable within a predetermined angle range, and extends rearward. When viewed from vertically above, the right temple 13a extends outward from the attachment portion with the right rim 11a and then extends inward through the inflection point A. The rear end of the right temple 13a curves downward. Since the left temple 13b has a target shape with the right temple 13a, the description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 3, the right support rod 15a has a substantially J-shape, which is made of an elastic metal such as β-titanium and has a linear one end and a curved other end in a side view. An oval ring 19 is attached to the other end. An elliptical hole 24 is provided at one end of the linear shape of the right support rod 15a, and the right support rod 15a is attached to the right temple 13a by two screws 24a loosely fitted in the oval hole 24. By loosening the two screws 24a, the position of the right support rod 15a with respect to the right temple 13a is adjusted, and after the right support rod 15a is placed in an appropriate position, the two screws 24a are tightened and fixed. In this way, the front-back position of the right support rod 15a can be adjusted with respect to the right temple 13a. When the right support rod 15a attached to the right temple 13a is viewed from vertically above, the right support rod 15a gently projects inward from one end toward the oval ring 19. Since the left support rod 15b has a target shape with the right support rod 15a, the description thereof will be omitted.

The right pad 16a is made of silicon and has a side-viewing tear-shaped (drop-shaped) cheek pad 20 extending in the front-rear direction and a side-viewing tear-shaped (drop-shaped) fitting portion provided on the outer surface of the cheek pad 20. 21 and. The cheek pad portion 20 has a cavity 22 at the center thereof, and is provided with a cut so as to be divided into two in the thickness direction. The right oscillator 17a is stored in the cavity 22. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a right oscillator 17a stored in the cavity 22 with a cut open. After the right oscillator 17a is stored in the cavity 22 of the right pad 16a, the cut is closed and bonded. The electric wire 18c connected to the right oscillator 17a passes between the cuts, extends from the cavity 22 to the outside of the right pad 16a, and is connected to the control unit 18. Referring to FIG. 1, the fitting portion 21 is inserted from the inside of the oval ring 19 and fitted with the inner circumference of the oval ring 19, whereby the right pad 16a is fixed to the right support rod 15a. Since the left pad 16b has a target shape with the right pad 16a, the description thereof will be omitted.

The right modern 14a and the left modern 14b are attached so as to cover the right temple 13a and the left temple 13b from the rear end to the front of the center. The control unit 18 is attached to the outside of the left modern 14b. The control unit 18 includes a control circuit 18a and a battery (power supply unit) 18b. The control circuit 18a includes a circuit for driving the right oscillator 17a and the left oscillator 17b, and a switch (not shown). The battery 18b is, for example, a rechargeable secondary battery that supplies electric power to the control circuit 18a, the right oscillator 17a, and the left oscillator 17b via an electric wire (not shown). The battery 18b is heavier than the control circuit 18a and is installed near the rear end of the left modern 14b, and the control circuit 18a is installed in the left modern 14b at a position directly above the wearer's ear when the glasses 100 are worn. Will be done. Here, the vicinity of the rear end of the left modern 14b means from the rear tip of the left modern 14b to a position directly above the wearer's ear when the spectacles 100 are worn. Generally, the weight of the lens 10 occupies a large proportion of the total weight of the spectacles 100. Therefore, in the spectacles 100, a moment acts on the front and lower sides around the upper left and right axes of the ears. However, according to the present embodiment, by installing the heavy battery 18b near the rear end of the left modern 14b, the weight of the battery 18b acts in the direction opposite to the moment due to the lens 10, and the glasses 100 Prevent it from slipping off. Further, by installing the control circuit 18a directly above the ear, the control circuit 18a does not generate a moment around the upper part of the ear. When the wearer turns on the switch, the control circuit 18a drives the right oscillator 17a and the left oscillator 17b by applying an appropriate voltage. Alternatively, when the wearer turns off the switch, the power supply to the right oscillator 17a and the left oscillator 17b is cut off. The right oscillator 17a and the left oscillator 17b are, for example, piezoelectric elements that vibrate at 8 to 12 Hz.

When the spectacles 100 are worn, the right pad 16a and the left pad 16b come into contact with the cheekbones. At this time, the elasticity of the right support rod 15a and the left support rod 15b causes the right pad 16a and the left pad 16b to be pressed against the cheekbones with appropriate pressure. On the other hand, as described above, the right temple 13a and the left temple 13b extend inward through the bending point A when viewed from above vertically. This inwardly extending portion is in close contact with the bone above the ear. In this way, the pressure of the right pad 16a, the left pad 16b, the right temple 13a, and the left temple 13b appropriately fixes the spectacles 100 to the head.

When the switch is turned on while the spectacles 100 are worn, the right oscillator 17a and the right oscillator 17a and the left support rod 15b are pressed against the cheekbones by the elasticity of the right support rod 15a and the left support rod 15b. The vibration of 8 to 12 Hz generated by the left oscillator 17b is transmitted to the brain via the cheekbone. When a vibration wave is given from the outside, the brain tends to generate a brain wave synchronized with the vibration wave. The brain that receives the vibration of 8 to 12 Hz generates an electroencephalogram synchronized with the vibration of 8 to 12 Hz. This 8 to 12 Hz brain wave is called an alpha wave, and the brain generating the alpha wave is in a relaxed state. That is, according to the present embodiment, the vibration of 8 to 12 Hz can be reliably transmitted to the brain to make the brain relaxed.

The shapes of the right pad 16a and the left pad 16b are not limited to the lateral teardrop shape, and may be any shape that can contact the cheekbone, such as a circle, a rectangle, an oval, or an ellipse.

The control unit 18 may be housed inside the right modern 14a and / or the left modern 14b. Further, the control unit 18 may be attached to the right modern 14a, or may be attached to both the right modern 14a and the left modern 14b, and may control the oscillators on each side.

The shapes of the right support rod 15a and the left support rod 15b are not limited to a substantially J-shape, and may be any shape such as an I-shape or a U-shape that allows the right pad 16a and the left pad 16b to be pressed against the cheekbones. Further, the inner circumference of the elliptical ring 19 is not limited to an ellipse, and may be an ellipse, a rectangle, a C-shape, or the like as long as it can hold the right pad 16a and the left pad 16b.

Although the case where the battery 18b is heavier than the control circuit 18a has been described, when the control circuit 18a is heavier than the battery 18b, the control circuit 18a is installed near the rear end of the left modern 14b, and the battery 18b is on the left. In the modern 14b, it is installed at a position directly above the wearer's ear when the spectacles 100 are worn.

Further, when the weight of the battery 18b alone cannot prevent the eyeglasses 100 from slipping off, the battery 18b and the control circuit 18a are installed near the rear end of the left modern 14b.

The material and number of the members are examples, and are not limited to those described above, and other materials and numbers may be adopted. Moreover, the size of each member shown in this specification and a figure is an example, and is not limited to these sizes.
