DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a foldable spectacle frame which can be folded when stored off a face.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Glasses frames that can be folded for compact storage have been known for some time. FIG.
Is a specific example of a conventional foldable eyeglass frame, and hinges (c) and (c) are provided on both sides of a connecting member (b) connecting the two rims (a) and (b). , Connecting member (b)
Can be folded. A roy (d) is brazed to the outside of the rim, and a vine (e) is connected to the roy (d) via a hinge (f) so as to be foldable.

Further, a hinge (g) is provided in the middle of the vine (e), and the vine (e) is folded in half by the hinge (g). FIG. 5 shows a case where the above-mentioned eyeglass frame is folded, and the both rims are folded by folding the connecting member (b).
(A), (a) face each other in parallel, and both rims (a),
The two folded vines (e) and (e) are accommodated between (a).

[0004] However, the following problems remain in the foldable spectacle frame of this type. As shown in FIG. 5, the folds (e) and (e) are sandwiched between both rims (a) and (a), that is, the lens, as shown in FIG. 5, and the lens is positioned on the outside. In addition, when the lens surface is put into a case, the lens surface always comes into contact and the lens surface is likely to be scratched.

On the other hand, since the nose pads (h) and (h) for supporting the front portion are attached to the inside of the rim, the nose pads (h) and (h) come into contact when folded. Will be lost. In the case of the foldable eyeglass frame according to the above, the nose pad (h) becomes small. Similarly, the legs that support the nose pad (h) are also shorter, but the smaller the nose pad (h), the easier it is for the worn glasses to shift.

[0006]

As described above, the conventional foldable eyeglass frame has the above-mentioned problems. The problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems, and a foldable spectacle frame which can make a nose pad large and does not scratch a lens is provided.

[0007]

The foldable eyeglass frame of the present invention has a structure in which the connecting member for connecting the two rims can be folded at one place, but the folded portion is located not on the center of the connecting member but on one side. ing. Therefore, the thickness in the folded state is reduced, and the nose pad is not overlapped, so that a large nose pad can be used. Then, in the folding method, instead of sandwiching the two-folded crane between the two folded rims and the lens, only one crane is sandwiched, and the other crane is positioned outside the rim.

[0008] For this reason, the length of the yoke is made different, the length of the yoke connecting the crane sandwiched between the rims is short, and the length of the yoke connecting the vine located outside the rim is long. Also, the crane has a bent part such as a hinge and it will be folded in two, but the position of this hinge is different between the left and right crane, and the position of the modern attached to the tip of the crane when folded is Can be matched.
Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a foldable eyeglass frame according to the present invention. The two rims 1 and 1 are connected by a connecting member 2, and the outer sides of the rims 1 and 1 are braided 3a and 3b. And the vines 4a, 4b are connected to the yoroi 3a, 3b via hinges 5, 5 so as to be foldable. The connecting member 2 is provided with a hinge 6. The hinge 6 is folded around the hinge 6, and the two rims 1, 1
Are parallel to each other.

However, since the hinge 6 provided on the connecting member 2 is arranged not at the center of the connecting member 2 but at a position shifted to one side, when the hinge 6 is folded, the two rims 1, 1 Are displaced without completely overlapping, and the nose pads 7, 7, which are also attached to the inside of the rim, are displaced and do not abut each other. Also, the length of the above-mentioned yoroi 3a, 3b is not the same on the left and right,
"a" is longer than that of the "Yoroi 3b".

FIG. 2 shows a case where the glasses frame shown in FIG. 1 is folded. As shown in the figure, the rim 1a and the rim 1b are displaced and overlap with each other, and the crane 4b is sandwiched between the two rims 1a and 1b in a folded state. The other crane 4a is folded and positioned outside the rim 1b, and the rim 1b is sandwiched between the two folded crane 4a and 4b.

The crane 4b sandwiched between the two rims 1a and 1b does not increase the distance between the rims 1a and 1b because the length of the above-mentioned lip 3b is short. The folded crane 4a can be located outside the rim 1b. The two folded vines 4a and 4b sandwich one rim 1b, and a modern 8a of the vine 4a is in contact with a lens fitted to the rim 1b. When the spectacle frame is placed on a desk in a folded state, the lens does not touch the top plate of the desk and does not touch the metal part of the vine.

By the way, as is apparent from FIG. 2, the folded vines 4a and 4b do not overlap correctly, and
The tip of the modern 8a protrudes, and the hinge 9b of the vine 4b also protrudes. So, vine 4a,
By changing the position of the hinge provided for folding the 4b into two, it is possible to prevent the modern 8a and the hinge 9b from protruding.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the moderns of the vines 4a and 4b are correctly overlapped, and the positions of hinges for folding the vines 4a and 4b in two are different. That is, in the case of the vine 4a, the position of the hinge 9a is shifted to the modern 8a side, and conversely, in the case of the vine 4b, the position of the hinge 9b is shifted to the side 3b. As described above, the foldable eyeglass frame of the present invention allows the connecting member for connecting the rims to be foldable, and also allows the vine to be folded in half, so that the following effects can be obtained. I can do it.

[0015]

The foldable eyeglass frame of the present invention has a structure in which the connecting member for connecting the rim can be folded. However, since the folded portion is shifted toward one rim side, the nose pad when folded is not suitable. There is no contact with each other, so that a large nose pad attached to a general glasses frame can be used, and the glasses can be stably worn. Then, one of the vines is folded into two to fit between the two rims, and the other is folded so as to be located outside the rim. As a result, when the folded glasses are placed on a desk or the like, the lens surface does not directly hit and the occurrence of scratches on the lens surface is prevented.

On the other hand, since the connecting member for connecting the two rims has a bent portion toward one side, the folded rim and the crane are displaced without overlapping correctly, but the crane is folded in two. By changing the positions of the hinges, the crane can be properly overlapped and compactly housed.

Claims (1)

(57) [Claims] A rim for fitting a lens is connected by a connecting member, and the connecting member is provided with a bent portion such as a hinge so as to be foldable, and a bent portion such as a hinge is provided at an intermediate portion of the vine. In the foldable eyeglass frame that can be folded in two, the position of the bent portion provided on the connecting member is shifted from the center to one side, the length of the yoke is made different from side to side, and further bending for folding the crane in two The folding eyeglass frame is characterized in that the positions of the parts are also different from each other, with the bent part shifted to the modern side for the long crescent side vine and the misalignment for the short royal side crane.
