Description

  The present invention relates to eyeglasses that are stored by being fitted into a concave groove formed on a back surface of a front portion.

  FIG. 4 shows the appearance of general glasses. As shown in the figure, the glasses are composed of a front part (A) and two cranes (RO) and (RO). ) Are attached to both sides of the front portion (A). When wearing glasses on the face, the two vines (B) and (B) are opened as shown in the figure, but when removed from the face, the vines (B) and (B) are folded.

  The front part (A) is constructed by connecting both rims (C) and (C) with connecting members (D), and the lenses (E) and (E) are fitted to the rims (C) and (C). Yes. And, on both sides, an approximately L-shaped armor (f), (f) is brazed, and the armor (f), (f) is connected to the above crane (b) via a hinge (g), (g), (B) is attached, so that the cranes (B) and (B) are folded. There are various types of joints for connecting the cranes (B) and (B) in addition to the hinges (G) and (G), but the structure is basically foldable.

  The folded vines (B) and (B) overlap the back side (back side) of the front part (A), and can be accommodated in the case when carried. However, in the case of the conventional glasses shown in the same figure, even when the temples (B) and (B) are folded, the thickness has a certain size and cannot be accommodated in a thin case. In particular, reading glasses are often worn only when reading newspapers and magazines and are carried in cases, so it is required to use compact glasses so that they do not become bulky. Since it is bulky even if it is housed in a bag, it is inconvenient to carry it in a suit pocket.

In the “folding glasses” according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-182163, the goggle part can be folded in half at the central bridge part, and each vine part is a first sill part that is foldable at both ends of the goggle part. And a second temple connected thereto, so that the lens is not damaged when folded.
Therefore, a long hole is formed along the longitudinal direction in each of the first and second vine portions, and the front end of the long hole of the first vine portion is located near the outer end portion of the lens frame. Set, the rear end of the first temple is slidably received and retained in the elongated hole of the second temple, and the front end of the second temple is in relation to the elongated hole of the first temple It is bent and inserted from the inside to the outside, and is slidable and held in a retaining state.

  In the “folding spectacle frame” according to No. 3061421, the lens frame and both ends of the bridge are connected by a hinge so as to be folded inward, and the lens frame and the first temple are also connected by a hinge so as to be folded inward. A fitting groove is formed inside the first temple, and the tip of the second temple fits inside the end of the first temple and is connected by a plunger-type pin. The plunger-type pin has a pin fixed to the lower end of the cylinder, and a spring and a movable pin having a convex cross section are sequentially inserted into the cylinder, and the upper part of the cylinder has a reduced outer diameter. The pedestal part is used as a retaining part.

As described above, there are various glasses that can be folded into a compact case and accommodated in a case, but a sufficient compactness has not been realized.
"Folding glasses" according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-182163 "Folding glasses frame" according to No. 3061421

  As described above, various kinds of glasses that are made compact by folding and easy to carry are known. However, if the front part is folded in half, the thickness will be doubled. The same is true when the vine is folded in half. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem, and when the glasses are removed and the vine is folded, the glasses are stored in the concave groove formed in the front portion so that the thickness does not increase.

  The glasses according to the present invention basically have a front part composed of both temples as in the conventional case. The temples are attached to both sides of the front part via joints, and if the glasses are removed, the temples can be folded. A concave groove is formed on the back surface of the front portion, and a vine folded in the concave groove is fitted and stored. Therefore, the folded vine is stored so that it hardly protrudes from the rear surface of the front portion. Here, the joint structure connected so that the vine can be folded is not particularly limited, and the shape of the vine is arbitrary. And a knob means is provided so that the vine fitted in the groove can be pulled out from the groove and opened.

  The glasses according to the present invention are generally intended for reading glasses, but if the glasses are removed from the face and the vine is folded, the vines are stored in a recessed groove formed on the back surface (back surface) of the front portion. The Therefore, the folded vine does not overlap the back of the front part, and the vine fits into the concave groove, resulting in the thickness of the front part, and the case to be accommodated is very thin and compact, and it is put in the suit pocket Can be carried around. And since the folded vine does not protrude from the back surface of the front portion, the vine is not broken and the joint is not damaged even if the glasses left unintentionally are stepped on.

The external view of the spectacles in which the vine concerning this invention is stored. The rear view of the front part in the state which folded the vine. The AA cross-sectional enlarged view of FIG. External view of conventional general glasses.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of eyeglasses according to the present invention. On both sides of a front portion 1, temples 2 and 2 are attached so that they can be folded. When wearing the glasses, the temples 2 and 2 are worn in an open state as shown in the figure, but the temples 2 and 2 are folded when accommodated in the case.

  The shape of the front part 1 and the temples 2 and 2 shown in the figure is only one specific example, but basically the reading glasses are the object, and the temples 2 and 2 have a U shape and the length thereof is short. The eyeglasses can be stably worn by pressing the side surface of the face. Therefore, the temples 2 and 2 are bent and deformed so that an appropriate pressing force accompanying elastic deformation acts on the side surface of the face.

  The front portion 1 is a resin molded product, and rims 4, 4 are formed on both sides of the connecting portion 3, and lenses are fitted on the rims 4, 4. And in order to support the front part 1, the nose pad pats 5 and 5 which contact both sides of the nose are integrally formed on the center side of the rims 4 and 4. That is, since it is a resin-made front part, the connection part 1, both the rim | limbs 4, 4 and the nose pad 5 and 5 are integrally formed by injection molding. Of course, the front portion 1 is not necessarily limited to a resin injection molded product, and a resin plate may be cut out and processed.

  By the way, although the said vines 2 and 2 are attached to the both sides of the front part 1, they are folded through a coupling. In this case, a concave groove is formed on the back surface (back surface) of the front portion 1, and the folded vines 2 and 2 are fitted into the concave groove and stored. In the case of conventional glasses, the folded vine overlaps with the back surface of the front part, but in the present invention, it fits into the groove and fits within the thickness of the front part 1.

  FIG. 2 shows the back surface of the front portion 1, but the temple 2 is fitted in the concave groove 6. For this purpose, a concave groove 6 is formed on the back surface of the rim 4 forming the front portion 1, and for this purpose, the temple 2 has substantially the same U shape as the rim 4. The joints 7 and 7 are embedded on the outer side of the rim 4, and the base ends of the generally U-shaped temples 4 are fixed to the joints 7 and 7. Here, the joint 7 is embedded so as not to protrude from the back surface of the rim 4, and the crane 2 can be folded.

  3 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 2, the temple 2 is fitted in the groove 6 so that the temple 2 does not protrude from the back surface 8. Of course, there is no problem if it protrudes slightly, but the depth of the groove 6 is set to the thickness of the temple 2 so that it does not protrude significantly.

  In this way, the temples 2 and 2 are folded to fit into the recessed grooves 6 and 6 formed on the back surface 8, but when wearing glasses, the temples 2 and 2 need to be taken out from the recessed grooves 6 and 6 and opened. It becomes. Therefore, a soft knob tape is attached to the tips of the temples 2 and 2, and the temples 2 and 2 housed in the concave grooves 6 and 6 are drawn out by this knob tape. Of course, it is not limited to the knob tape, but even if it is a tape, there is no problem even if it protrudes from the groove 6 because it is flexible, and it does not hinder the folding of the temples 2 and 2.

  The glasses of the present invention can be made compact by housing the vines 2 and 2 in the concave grooves 6 and 6, and the thickness of the housing case can be large enough to accommodate the front portion 1. On the other hand, in the present invention, the front portion 1 can be folded in two with the temples 2 and 2 housed in the concave grooves 6 and 6 formed in the back surface 8. In this case, a joint such as a hinge is attached to the center of the connecting portion 3 and the front portion 1 is folded.

  By the way, a hinge joint is attached to the back side of the connecting portion 3 so that the appearance from the front is not impaired, and the folding direction can be set to the inside. By preventing the front side from being folded, the front part 1 will not be folded even when a pressing force is applied to open the temples 2 and 2 when the glasses are worn. . And since the vines 2 and 2 fit into the concave grooves 6 and 6, even if the front part 1 is folded inward (back side), the vines 2 and 2 do not get in the way.

  The front part 1 of the glasses shown in FIG. 1 is made of resin, but the material is not limited. For example, it can be made of aluminum, and in this case, the groove 6 provided in the back surface 8 is generally processed by cutting. Further, the shape of the vine 2 is not limited to the substantially U-shape, but is substantially the same as the shape of the rim 4 such as the L shape. The material of the temple 2 is a material that can be bent and deformed (elastically deformed) so that an appropriate pressing force acts on the face side surface.
