 The present invention relates to an improved spectacle temple, and more particularly, to a spectacle temple replacement structure capable of quickly replacing a spectacle temple with a simple operation and reliably performing the replacement operation.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Eyeglasses are manufactured by connecting a number of eyeglass parts such as temples, hinges, and rims. Of these spectacle parts, the temples are repeatedly opened and closed when the glasses are put on and taken off, so they are more likely to be deformed by external force than other eyeglass parts, and the temples are cosmetics such as pomades and hair tonics. Since it is in constant contact with creatures, sweat and sebum, it easily undergoes chemical changes over time and is easily discolored and faded. Therefore, if the eyeglass temple is deformed or deteriorates in appearance, it must be removed and repaired or refreshed. If the temple is not recovered, the temple must be replaced with a new one.

[0003] In addition, replacement of eyeglass temples is also necessary when adopting a method in which a large number of eyeglass temples of various sizes and designs are prepared, and an appropriate temple is selected from these and used properly according to the TPO. Becomes

However, the temple replacement as described above is usually performed by loosening a small screw at a hinge portion for pivotally connecting the temple to the front frame of the eyeglasses, removing the temple, and performing necessary operations such as repair and selection. After that, the temple is fitted to the hinge part, and the small screw is tightened again to attach the temple. Therefore, it is necessary to remove and attach the small small screw for the hinge that is difficult to turn. Replacement work is very troublesome and time-consuming.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems in the conventional temple replacement work, and has been developed without removing the small screw at the hinge part. It is an object of the present invention to provide an eyeglass temple replacement structure that can be quickly replaced with a simple operation and that can be reliably performed.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The means adopted by the present inventors to solve the above technical problem will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

That is, according to the present invention, a connecting mechanism is provided at a required position of a temple which is pivotally supported on the front frame of the eyeglasses, and the connecting mechanism is formed with a female screw and has an outer peripheral surface. The above problem has been solved by employing temple replacement means comprising a socket piece engraved with a decorative knurl and a screw piece detachably screwed to this socket piece. .

FIG. 5 is an enlarged partial exploded perspective view, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged partial exploded perspective view showing the vicinity of a connecting mechanism of the eyeglass temple according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

First, an eyeglass temple replacement structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the figure, the one designated by the reference numeral 1 is a temple that is pivotally supported on the front frame F of the glasses so as to be freely foldable, and is hung on both ears when the glasses are worn. The temple 1 is made of a metal wire.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, what is indicated by reference numeral 2 is a socket piece fixed to the base end of the temple 1, which is joined to the temple 1 by brazing. As shown in FIG. 3, a female screw 21 is formed inside the socket piece 2, and a male screw of a screw piece described later can be screwed into the female screw 21. A beautiful decorative knurl 22 is engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the socket piece 2. This decorative knurl 22 not only prevents slipping when the socket piece 2 is pinched and rotated in the normal and reverse directions, but also forms a beautiful one-point design on a part of the temple 1 and adds an accent to tighten the whole. Demonstrate. Further, since the diameter of the socket piece 2 is formed to be large, it can be easily turned with a small force.

What is indicated by reference numeral 3 is a screw piece which is detachably screwed into the socket piece 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the screw piece 3 is fixed to a take-out end of a pivot hinge described later. A male screw 31 is formed in the screw piece 3, and the male screw 31 is screwed and connected to the female screw 21 of the socket piece 2. The screw mechanism 3 having the male screw 31 and the socket piece 2 having the female screw 21 constitute a coupling mechanism (2.3).

What is designated by reference numeral 4 is a pivot hinge for pivotally supporting the temple 1 to the spectacle front frame F. The pivot hinge 4 includes a substantially U-shaped temple-side hinge piece 41 to which the screw piece 3 is fixed, the other front-side hinge piece 42 fitted to the U-shaped hinge piece 41, and both hinges. And a pivot shaft 43 for pivotally connecting the pieces 41 and 42 to each other. In this embodiment, small screws are used as the pivots 43.

In the glasses configured as described above, a simple operation of picking up the socket piece 2 at the base end of the temple 1 and rotating it forward and backward to screw and unscrew it, as shown in FIG. Can be quickly replaced, and there is no need to perform the troublesome work of removing the pivot shaft 43 (machine screw) as in the conventional temple replacement. In addition, such a screwing / unscrewing operation can be reliably performed with a small force without slipping. This is because a decorative knurl 22 is provided on the surface of the socket piece 2 to be picked up by the spectacle wearer by hand, and the diameter of the socket piece 2 is large.

The decorative knurls 22 engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the socket piece 2 have a beautiful one-piece function on a part of the temple 1 in addition to the original function of preventing slippage during screwing and untwisting operations. It also has the decorative function of forming a point design and adding accents.

Next, an eyeglass temple replacement structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the socket piece 2 and the screw piece 3 are fixed in reverse to the first embodiment. That is, the socket piece 2 on which the female screw 21 is formed is fixed to the take-out end of the pivot hinge 4, and the screw piece 3 on which the male screw 31 which can be screwed to the female screw 21 is formed, is a temple 1. It is fixed to the base end of. By fixing the connecting mechanism (2, 3) in this manner, the temple 1 can be quickly replaced as in the first embodiment.

Finally, a description will be given of an eyeglass temple replacement structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG.
