Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a humidifying structure for an eye environment that covers the periphery of an eye when wearing glasses and that allows moisture and / or medicine to gradually diffuse into the space around the covered eye to moisten the eye.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, ordinary glasses have a configuration in which a frame portion for wearing is provided on a lens portion that supports a lens with a frame. Therefore, when wearing glasses, the environment (atmosphere) around the eyes is the same as the outside air, and the environment (atmosphere) around the eyes is constant with glasses that seal around the eyes such as goggles and safety glasses. is there. However, for example, in lacrimation which causes dryness or fatigue in the eyes, so-called dry eye, it is possible to moisturize the eyes only by slightly humidifying the atmosphere around the eyes, which is effective. It is not yet considered to make the glasses have a humidifying function. In addition, ordinary glasses are covered with a lens in front of the eyes, but only the narrow frame is on the sides, so dust and cigarette smoke, pollen, photochemical smog, etc. Could not prevent the entry of harmful substances. It is known that a spectacle is provided with a volatilization hole to volatilize the fragrance around the spectacles. However, since the aim is to volatilize outside, the eyes cannot be directly moistened. Furthermore, a structure of a shield attached to the glasses is also known, but it can cover the periphery of the eyes to prevent intrusion of rubber and dust, but in this case, the eyes cannot be moistened.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

This invention was created as a result of research and development in view of the above circumstances. The first problem was to install a shield that covers the left and right sides of the glasses, block the space around the eyes, and prevent dust from entering Another object of the present invention is to provide a humidifying structure for the eye environment that can moisturize the eye by diverging moisture held by a humidifying body attached to a shield.

[Means for solving the problems]

In order to solve the above problem, according to the invention of claim 1, there is provided a pair of glasses, and a shield which has a connecting portion, and which can attach and detach the connecting portion to a frame portion of the glasses to cover at least the left and right sides of the eye. A humidifier that is detachably formed on the shield and that is capable of gradually evaporating moisture in a space surrounded by the shield and the lens portion of the glasses on the side of the eye covered with the shield. The humidifier is provided with a technical means that its tip is set so as not to come into contact with the face of a person wearing glasses.

[Action]

In this invention, since a humidifier that can gradually dissipate by incorporating liquid such as water or medicine is attached inside the glasses, the space around the eyes is covered with a shield, and the heat of the space is covered. And let water escape gradually,
It can moisturize and properly moisturize the eyes.

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. An eyeglass 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a lens portion 2 in which a pair of lenses are fitted in a frame, and a frame portion (temple) 3 which is foldably connected on both sides thereof and extends rearward. The shield 4 is detachably mounted. The shield 4 is made of a transparent or colored translucent plastic plate. In the present invention, the transparency or translucency of the shield 4 may be such that at least a part of a part included in the range of the field of view at the time of mounting is formed to be transparent or translucent, and the other parts may not have translucency. Good. The shield 4 is set to be wider in the vertical direction than the frame 3, and the front end is formed so as to be substantially in contact with the outer end of the glasses 2, and extends rearward along the longitudinal direction of the frame 3. Consists of That is, the shielding body 4 is formed with the glasses portion 2 and the hollow portion 8 surrounding the eye of the spectacle wearer in the left-right direction together with the spectacles portion 2. There may be a gap between them. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper edge or the lower edge 4a of the shield 4 may be bent inward (toward the face of the wearer) to slightly cover the vertical direction. The shield 4 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the frame 3 via an appropriate connection. That is, in the present embodiment, a connecting member 5 for connecting to the frame portion 3 is fixed to a middle portion of the shield 4. The connecting member 5 may have any structure as long as the structure allows the shield 4 to be detachably engaged with the frame portion 3, and may have any structure such as a hooking structure or an adhesive or magnetic attachment structure.
If it is provided only on the side, it does not matter whether it has a structure that forms a pair with a receiving portion provided on the frame portion 3. In the present embodiment, a connecting member 5 made of a double-sided tape coated with an adhesive on both sides is provided on the inner surface of the shield 4 so that the frame portion 3
However, if a dovetail-shaped hook or the like having elasticity that returns in the direction of narrowing the groove width is provided on the inner surface side of the shield 4, the frame member 3 can be easily attached and detached from the outside. can do. This shield 4 is provided with a connecting tool 5 on the outside so that the frame 3
It may be attached from inside. Next, the glasses 1 shown in FIG. 2 include the shield 4 described in the above embodiment, and the humidifier 6 is provided inside the shield 4. In this embodiment, the humidifier 6 is made of a block-shaped sponge or other porous material impregnated with water. The humidifier 6 can be attached and detached, but it is preferable that the joint with the shield is provided with waterproof means. For example, it is good if the mounting portion of the shield or the like is made of a waterproof material, but if not, a waterproof surface is formed, or the connecting member 7 of the humidifier 6 is formed of a waterproof material. The material and the size of the material of the humidifier 6 can be appropriately determined in accordance with the use from the relationship of the rate of water release and duration. Although the humidifier 6 is impregnated with water or other moisture, a pharmaceutically active ingredient may be mixed therein. The humidifier 6 may be detachably attached to the shield 4 or may be attached integrally. Further, the humidifier 6 may be attached to a part of the frame (temple) 3 of the glasses 1 together with the shield 4. The humidifier 6 may be a polymer absorber 6 'as shown in FIG. In this case, it is preferable that the shield 4 be widely applied with an adhesive or the like while leaving a transparent or translucent portion on the inner surface. As a result, the water absorbed by the humidifier 6 gradually diffuses to humidify the interior of the hollow portion 8 covered with the lens portion 2 and the shield 4, so that the eyes can be moistened. In the present invention, the shape of the humidifier is not particularly limited, and if it is formed in a layer on at least a part of the inner surface of the shield or the glasses, the humidifier is appropriately formed into a three-dimensional shape and forms part of the inner surface of the shield or the glasses. It does not matter that it is provided. Further, in the present invention, when a volatile chemical is volatilized in the hollow portion, a porous material 6 ″ having a large number of fine pores, such as activated carbon or EVA resin, is used as a shielding material in the same manner as in the above embodiment. The porous material 6 ″ may be made of the same material as the humidifying body 6. The porous material 6 ″ may be attached to the inside or inside of the glasses to gradually evaporate the medicine. In this case, except that the humidifying body 6 is replaced with a porous material 6 ″ impregnated with a chemical material, the configuration is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, and the description of the configuration will be omitted with reference to FIG. As an example, when the medicine is an eye drop for hay fever, the gradually volatilized medicine is continuously infiltrated into the eyes, and the shield 4 prevents invasion of pollen from the outside as much as possible. In the above embodiment, the shields are provided on the left and right frames, respectively, but in the present invention, the shields may be mounted on only one of the frames. This shield keeps the atmosphere of the humidified hollow portion (moisturizing) and protects the eyes from substances entering from the outside.

[Effect of the invention]

According to this invention, the moisture held and diverged by the humidifier can humidify the atmosphere around the eyes to moisturize the eyes or impregnate the medicine. Thus, the eyes can be moisturized even for lacrimation, so-called dry eye and VDT syndrome, which is said to be caused by a decrease in lacrimation. It is also very useful, for example, in the case of hay fever, etc. Since the humidifier is provided on the shield, the humidifier larger than this width can be attached regardless of the width of the frame portion (temple) of the glasses.
