Description

  The present invention relates to a spectacle frame and a spectacle case.

  There are various types of glasses depending on the purpose of use, but some of them are basically always worn and used (for example, glasses for myopia). Some are used (eg reading glasses and sunglasses).

  Of these, the latter type of glasses is generally worn temporarily only when necessary, and therefore the user must carry it appropriately when not wearing it. Conventional glasses could be made smaller than the wearing state by folding temples (vines), but it was not enough from the viewpoint of portability.

  In addition, glasses are usually carried in a glasses case so as not to damage the lens or the like, but conventional glasses cases can accommodate glasses with temples folded. The size of the eyeglasses must be one size larger than the glasses with the temples folded, and it was not necessarily superior from the viewpoint of portability.

  In JP-A-9-90286, both rims to which the lens is fitted are connected by a connecting member, and the connecting member is provided with a bent portion such as a hinge so that it can be folded backward, and at the intermediate portion of the crane. The folding spectacle frame is provided with a bent part such as a hinge so that it can be folded inward, and the position of the bent part provided on the connecting member is shifted from one side to the other side. Left and right, and the position of the bent part for folding the temple in two is also changed to the left and right, the bent part is shifted to the modern side on the long armor side crane, and the armor side is positioned on the short armor side crane A foldable spectacle frame characterized by being displaced is disclosed.

  However, in the foldable spectacle frame described in the publication, since the connecting member that connects both rims is folded rearward (side facing the face), the front surface of the lens faces outward in the folded state. In the folded state, the lens on the lower side could be damaged when placed on a desk or the like with the rim on the opposite side of the rim that would be sandwiched between both vines facing down. .

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  1A and 1B are diagrams for explaining a configuration of glasses using a glasses frame according to the present invention, in which FIG. 1A shows a front view and FIG. 1B shows a plan view.

  As shown in the figure, a spectacle frame 100 according to the present invention includes a pair of left and right rims 110 that hold a lens 101, a bridge 120 that connects a pair of left and right rims 110 (lens 101), and a pair of left and right rims 110 ( A pair of armatures 130 attached to both ends of the lens 101), a pair of temples 140 foldably connected to the pair of armores 130, and a modern ( Destination cell) 150. The pair of left and right rims 110, the bridge 120, and the pair of armor 130 constitute the front (front frame) of the eyeglass frame 100. The eyeglass frame 100 includes a pair of nose pads 160. Each of the pair of nose pads 160 is attached to an appropriate position of the rim 110 via the krings 161.

  In the eyeglass frame 100 according to the present invention, as shown in the figure, a bridge 120 that connects a pair of left and right rims 110 (lenses 101) is constituted by a pair of left and right bridge members 121. The pair of left and right bridge members 121 are connected by a hinge (hinge) 122 at the front (outside) center portion of the bridge 120. That is, the pair of left and right bridge members 121 are connected to the other bridge member 121 so as to be rotatable in the forward direction (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 5B). As a result, the spectacle frame 100 can be folded forward at the central portion of the bridge 120.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4B, the bridge 120 (bridge member 121) projects forward (downward in FIG. 5B) from the pair of left and right rims 110 (lens 101). It is configured to do so. That is, the center of rotation of the bridge member 121 (the hinge 122) is positioned forward by a certain distance from the pair of left and right rims 110 (the lens 101). Further details of the bridge 120 will be described later.

  In addition, a pair of temples 140 are connected to a pair of temples 131 on both sides of a pair of left and right rims 110 (lenses 101) by hinges 131, as in a normal eyeglass frame. That is, each of the pair of temples 140 is connected to the corresponding armor 130 so as to be rotatable inward (in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 5B).

  In this embodiment, each of the pair of temples 140 includes two temple members, that is, a front temple member 141 and a rear temple member 142. The two temple members 141 and 142 are connected by a hinge 143 at the outer central portion of the temple 140. That is, the rear temple member 142 is connected to the front temple member 141 so as to be rotatable in the outer direction (the direction of arrow C in FIG. 5B). As a result, each of the pair of temples 140 can be folded outward in the central portion.

  Next, details of the bridge 120 will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the bridge 120. 1A shows an enlarged plan view of the bridge 120 shown in FIG. 1, and FIGS. 2B to 2E show modified examples of the bridge 120. FIG.

  As described above, the bridge 120 is constituted by the pair of left and right bridge members 121. Each bridge member 121 has a generally L-shaped shape in plan view and is arranged to be bilaterally symmetric. The pair of left and right bridge members 121 arranged in this way are connected by a hinge 122 on the front surface thereof.

  In the present embodiment, by configuring the bridge 120 as described above, the rotation center 123 of the hinge 122 is forward by a certain distance from the front surface of the lens 101 held by the pair of left and right rims 110 (in FIG. (Downward).

  Moreover, as shown to the same figure (a), each bridge member 121 is formed so that the surface located in the outer side may protrude ahead compared with the surface where hinge 122 is attached. That is, each bridge member 121 has a protrusion 124 on the front surface thereof. As will be described later, when the bridge 120 is folded, the front surfaces of the opposing protruding portions 124 come into contact with each other. In the present embodiment, when the front surfaces of the two bridge members 121 (projecting portions 124) abut, the height of the projecting portions 124 (the vertical direction in the figure) so that the two bridge members 121 are parallel to each other. Is determined). That is, in the mounted state shown in FIG. 6A, the plane that contacts the front surface (top surface) of the protrusion 124 arranged on both sides of the hinge 122 passes through the rotation center 123 of the hinge 122. The protruding portion 124 is formed so as to have a high height.

  In order to make the two bridge members 121 parallel when folded and the front surfaces of the two bridge members 121 (projections 124) are in contact with each other, the height of the projections 124 is not necessarily increased. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the left and right asymmetrical shapes are provided, and as shown in FIG. 2C, the protruding portion 124 is provided only on one bridge member 121. It may be possible to do so. In this case, for example, the total height of the protrusions 124 as viewed from the surface on which the hinge 122 is attached (in the case of FIG. 3C, the height of one protrusion 124) is What is necessary is just to make it equal to twice the distance from the attached surface to the rotation center 123.

  In the present embodiment, the width of the protrusion 124 (the length in the left-right direction in the figure) is determined so that the side surface of the protrusion 124 contacts the end of the hinge 122. For example, FIG. As shown in d), it is conceivable to make the width of the protrusion 124 narrower. Further, when folded, it is sufficient that the front surface (a part) of one protrusion 124 abuts the front surface (a part) of the other protrusion 124. It is not necessary to make the bridge members 121 equal to each other, and as shown in FIG.

  Since the eyeglass frame 100 according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, for example, first, the rear temple member 142 is folded outward at the hinge 143 portion that connects the two temple members 141 and 142. Further, in the hinge 131 portion connecting the armor 130 and the temple 140, the temple member 140 is folded by folding the front temple member 141 inward, and in the hinge 122 portion connecting the two bridge members 121, the front By folding the (front frame) part, it is possible to make it a very compact size.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view showing a state in which the eyeglass frame 100 is folded.

  As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a fixed interval W is generated between the front surfaces of the pair of lenses 101 held by the pair of rims 110 in the folded state. In other words, in the mounted state, the pivot center 123 of the bridge member 121 (the hinge 122) is configured to be positioned forward by a certain distance from the pair of left and right rims 110 (the lens 101). When the first bridge member 121 rotates and becomes parallel to each other, the front surface of one bridge member 121 (projecting portion 124) is configured to come into contact with the front surface of the other bridge member 121 (projecting portion 124). The pair of bridge members 121 cannot rotate any further, and a certain distance W is always ensured between the pair of lenses 101 held by the pair of rims 110. As a result, the pair of lenses 101 held by the pair of rims 110 that face each other in the folded state do not come into contact with each other.

  Further, the rear temple member 142 is also folded outward and does not come into contact with the inner side surface (rear surface) of the lens 101.

  As a result, in the eyeglasses using the eyeglass frame 100, the lens 101 will not be damaged even if it is placed on a desk or the like in a folded state.

  Next, a spectacle case suitable for storing spectacles using the spectacle frame 100 having the above configuration will be described.

  4-7 is a figure for demonstrating the structure of the spectacles case suitable for accommodation of the spectacles using the spectacles frame 100. As shown in FIG. 4 shows a perspective view, FIG. 5 shows a plan view, and FIGS. 6 and 7 show sectional views. Except for FIG. 5, the folded glasses are stored.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the glasses case 200 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped outer shape, and a space for accommodating the glasses in a folded state is provided therein. The upper surface of the glasses case 200 is provided with a rectangular opening 201 for taking in and out the folded glasses, and further, a lid 210 for closing the opening 201 is provided. Yes. The lid 210 is configured to be openable and closable, and can be kept closed by a fastener (not shown). 4 and 6 show a state where the lid portion 210 is closed, and FIG. 5 shows a state where the lid portion 210 is opened. In FIG. 7, the lid portion 210 is omitted.

  The space inside the glasses case 200 is divided into a pair of left and right spaces (accommodating portions) by the partition wall 220, and either one of the two spaces on the left or right side of the glasses ( For example, the left side) is accommodated, and the other side (for example, the right side) of the glasses is accommodated in the other space. The folded portion of the bridge 120 is supported by the upper surface of the partition wall 220.

  The width of the partition wall (the length in the horizontal direction in FIG. 5) is formed to be slightly narrower than the lens interval W (see FIG. 3) in the folded state. In addition, the side surface of the partition wall 220 is formed in a curved surface so that the middle portion in the vertical direction is slightly recessed so that the front surface of the lens does not contact as much as possible when the glasses are stored.

  Further, a groove (concave portion) 221 is formed on the upper surface of the partition wall 220. By fitting the folded bridge 120 into the groove 221, the movement of the glasses in the up-down direction (left-right direction in FIG. 7) in the state of being accommodated in the glasses case 200 is restricted.

  By using the spectacle case 200 having the above-described configuration, the spectacles using the spectacle frame 100 according to the present invention can be carried while keeping the spectacles folded in a compact state while preventing the spectacles from being damaged. It becomes.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described, naturally embodiment of this invention is not restricted to the above. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a spectacle frame having a pair of left and right rims, but it is also conceivable to apply the present invention to a rimless (frameless) spectacle frame.
