  However, in the conventional detachable glasses light, a switch for turning on / off the power supply to the light source device is provided in the portable battery, so there is room for improvement in operability of the switch. In other words, since the portable battery is often stored in the pocket of the user's clothes, the user must intuitively search for the switch provided on the portable battery by tapping the pocket. The structure was difficult to recognize.

  On the other hand, the applicant of the present application considered that such a problem can be solved by, for example, a configuration in which the switch is held around the temple portion of the glasses or around the temple portion. Specifically, for example, it has been considered that a cable directly connected to the switch is fixed to the temple portion along the temple portion of the glasses by the O-ring.

  By the way, in recent years, the design properties of eyeglasses have been diversified, and various sizes of temple parts are distributed in the market. If it is going to cope with such diversification, it is necessary to customize the shape of the O-ring according to the size of the temple part of the glasses worn by the user in the conventional configuration using the O-ring. There is a concern that extra costs are incurred at each stage of production, sales, and use, such as time and labor for manufacturers, sellers, and users.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and in a device holder for holding a device member such as a switch in the temple portion or the peripheral portion of the temple portion, the device is preferably used regardless of the size of the temple portion. An object is to provide a configuration capable of holding a member.

  In addition, the present invention provides a cable holder for holding a cable connected to an operation target device such as a light source device in a temple portion, and can suitably hold the cable regardless of the size of the temple portion. For the purpose of provision.

  In order to achieve the above object, a first device is a device for performing at least one operation specified in advance for a predetermined operation target device, and an input by at least a user among the operation devices. It is a device holder for holding a member including an operation detection unit for detecting an operation as a device member, and holding the device member on a temple part or a peripheral part of the temple part in spectacles or a headband type wearing article.

  In addition, as a headband-type wearing thing, a pair of left and right temple portions may be connected on the back side of the user's head in a state worn by the user, or connected. It may be a thing, or may be left open.

  The operation target device is not limited to a device for attaching spectacles or a headband-type wearing object like the light source device in the conventional spectacle removable light, but a hearing aid worn on the user's ear or used Various devices such as a headphone stereo carried by a person and an imaging device that captures a moving image or a still image are included.

  As the operation device, in addition to a simple on / off switch in the above conventional spectacle detachable light, a switch for adjusting a light amount, a sound volume and the like can be cited. In addition, the operation device may be configured only by an operation detection unit that detects an input operation by the user, or performs control on the operation target device according to the input operation detected by the operation detection unit. It may be configured to further include a control circuit. That is, the control circuit may be included in the operation device, or may be included in the operation target device. The switch is not limited to a mechanical type, and a touch sensor may be used.

  And the device holder of this invention is equipped with the temple clamping part which consists of a flexible material which clamps a temple part. Specifically, the temple sandwiching portion includes an opening portion into which the temple portion is inserted obliquely from above and an upper surface portion that urges the upper surface of the temple portion inserted into the internal space from the opening portion, and a lower surface of the temple portion. And a lower surface biasing means for biasing.

  Among these, the opening portion is provided with a guide surface that defines the insertion direction of the temple portion, and the lower surface biasing means faces the opening portion in the inner space of the temple clamping portion and the inner space. The side wall includes a collar portion protruding at an angle corresponding to the guide surface, and a plurality of the collar portions are arranged in the vertical direction.

  In the device holder configured as described above, when the temple part to be attached is inserted into the inner space of the temple clamping part from the upper obliquely upper side through the opening, the flexibility is determined depending on the shape of the temple part. The entire temple clamping portion made of a material is elastically deformed, and the lower surface of the temple portion is urged by one of the plurality of flanges and the bottom surface in the inner space of the temple clamping portion, so that the temple portion is the temple clamping portion. It is in close contact with the internal space.

  At this time, since the plurality of flanges protrude from the side wall facing the opening in the inner space of the temple holding portion at an angle (inner oblique upper side) according to the guide surface, the lower surface of the temple portion. An area where the collar part positioned above the bottom part or the bottom part is elastically deformed so as to be folded toward the side wall, and the temple part is in close contact with the internal space. (Hereinafter referred to as “contact area”) is secured.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, the contact area in the inner space of the temple clamping portion can be changed in a multi-stage manner according to the shape (size) of the temple portion, so that the size of the temple portion can be changed. The device member can be suitably held.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In addition, this invention is not limited at all by the following embodiment. Moreover, the aspect which abbreviate | omitted a part of following embodiment as long as the subject could be solved is also embodiment of this invention. In addition, any aspect that can be considered without departing from the essence of the invention specified only by the words described in the claims of the utility model registration is also an embodiment of the present invention.

<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the operating device unit 1 of the first embodiment supplies a light source device 3 as an operation target device, a touch sensor device 5 as an operating device, and necessary power to these devices 3 and 5. A portable battery 7 is provided.

  The portable battery 7 is of a size that can be accommodated in a part of a user's clothes (mainly a pants pocket), and is connected to a household power source via an attached adapter (not shown) so that it can be charged. It is configured. The portable battery 7 has a clip 7a for locking with a part of the user's clothes (for example, a pocket opening or a shirt fitting part), or for turning on / off the power supply to the light source device 3. Battery switch 7b and the like are provided.

  The light source device 3 is a device that irradiates predetermined light such as LED light or laser light, for example, and is connected to a clip portion 3a that sandwiches a bridge portion or a peripheral portion of the bridge portion in spectacles as an attachment target via a connecting portion 3b. It is attached so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. For the detailed configuration, refer to the above-mentioned Patent Document 1.

  Note that the first cable 11 for connecting the light source device 3 to the portable battery 7 via the control circuit 4 is provided by the first cable fixtures 6a and 6b so that the upper part of the frame of the glasses or the periphery of the upper part of the frame and one of the glasses ( For example, it is held in the temple portion on the left side).

  The first cable fixtures 6a and 6b are ring-shaped elastic members having an inner diameter capable of binding a temple part of spectacles having a standard shape (size) and the first cable 11; The cable 11 is used to fix the cable 11 along one temple (for example, the left side) of the glasses.

The touch sensor device 5 includes a touch sensor 2 as an operation detection unit and a control circuit 4 that performs on / off control of the light source device 3 in accordance with an input signal from the touch sensor 2.
The touch sensor 2 is a cylindrical electrode having a length about the width of the user's finger. For example, by detecting a change in capacitance between the fingertip and the conductive film, an input operation by the user is performed. A capacitance type that detects (touch operation) is adopted.

The touch sensor 2 is held on the temple part of the spectacles or a peripheral part of the temple part by a plurality of second cable fixtures 8a, 8b, 8c as device holding parts.
The second cable fixtures 8a, 8b, and 8c include a temple portion of a standard shape (size) of glasses, and a second cable 12 that electrically connects the touch sensor 2 and the control circuit 4. It is a ring-shaped elastic member having an inner diameter that can be bound, and is used to fix the second cable 12 along the other temple part (for example, the right side) of the glasses.

  The control circuit 4 is a switch circuit configured using a relay, a transistor, or the like, and is disposed on a substrate provided in the housing 4a. The housing 4a has a connector (not shown) for connecting the first cable 11 and an opening for accommodating the second cable 12 on one side surface, and a control surface on the other facing side surface. One opening for accommodating the third cable 13 that electrically connects the circuit 4 and the portable battery 7 is formed. Each time the control circuit 4 receives an input signal from the touch sensor 2 via the second cable, the electrical connection state of the first cable 11 and the third cable 13 is changed from the conductive state to the non-conductive state. Alternatively, the non-conducting state is switched to the conducting state. That is, the control circuit 4 turns on or off the light source device 3 by switching the light source device 3 from on to off or from off to on each time the touch sensor 2 is touched by the user's finger. Or

  According to the above configuration, since the touch sensor 2 is held at a position separated from the light source device 3 in the same glasses with the light source device 3 fixed thereto, the user touches the touch sensor 2 so that the light source device is touched. There is almost no fear that the position of 3 will shift. Further, the user can touch the touch sensor 2 as if he / she touches the temple part of the glasses or the peripheral part of the temple part. Therefore, on / off operation with respect to the light source device 3 can be performed intuitively by the user without touching the main body of the light source device 3, and the operability of the light source device 3 can be improved.

  Note that a winding device (not shown) using a ratchet or the like is provided in the housing 4a so that the length of the first cable 11 and the second cable 12 outside the housing 4a can be adjusted, for example. ing. By providing the device for winding the cables 11 and 12 in this way, it is possible to adjust the length so as not to be excessive or insufficient according to the physique of the user and the use position of the portable battery 7.

  In addition, a spacer 15 for binding the first cable 11 and the second cable 12 is provided outside the housing 4a. The spacer 15 is a cylindrical resin member having an inner diameter capable of displacing the binding position of the first cable 11 and the second cable 12, and the cable 11 on the back side of the user (for example, the back side of the neck). , 12 is used to prevent the user from clinging to (moving around). The spacer 15 is not limited to the illustrated one, and is divided into, for example, a part capable of sliding the first cable 11 and a part capable of sliding the second cable 12, and both parts are magnets or the like. It may be of the type that is joined by.

  In addition to this, the spacer 15 is also used to stabilize the center of gravity in the front-rear and left-right directions of the eyeglasses when the user wears it due to its own weight. That is, when the user wears, the eyeglasses are pulled downward (gravity direction) mainly by the weight of the light source device 3 on the front side of the user's face, and the glasses are mainly pulled by the weight of the touch sensor 2. By receiving a force tilting in the right direction (face width direction), the center of gravity of the glasses including the light source device 3 and the touch sensor 2 is shifted in the lower right direction. On the other hand, the spacer 15 can displace the binding position of the first cable 11 and the second cable 12 in the left direction on the back side of the user, so that the glasses are pulled downward by its own weight. In addition to applying the applied force, it is possible to apply the force that the glasses tilt to the left. Accordingly, the binding position of the cables 11 and 12 by the spacer 15 is adjusted as appropriate, so that the acting force on the left and right glasses is reversed on the front side and the back side of the user. Since the acting force on both ends in the axial direction (front-rear direction) of the temple portion of the glasses is downward, the center of gravity in the vertical direction is stabilized.

  For this reason, according to the operating device unit 1, compared with the case where the spacer 15 is not provided, not only the right and left direction of the glasses when the user wears but also the center of gravity in the up and down direction is stabilized. A feeling can be improved more.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, in contrast to the first embodiment, one or more cable holders are used instead of the first cable fixtures 6a and 6b, and 1 is used instead of the second cable fixtures 8a, 8b and 8c. Since only a plurality of device holders are provided, the description of other configurations is omitted. In the present embodiment, since the configurations of the cable holder and the device holder are the same, both will be simply referred to as “holder 10”.
