The temple plane portions 22 and 23 formed at the ends of the temple portion 2 are examples of the second temple plane portion in the present invention.
FIG.
The front plane portions 12 and 13 formed at the side end portions of the front portion 1 are an example of a second front plane portion in the present invention.

  The temple flat surface portion 21 has a substantially rectangular shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the temple portion 2. In the illustrated example, the temple flat surface portion 21 is substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connecting portion 3.

  The temple plane part 22 is in contact with the edge of the temple plane part 21 on the side close to the tip of the temple part 2 and is substantially horizontal with respect to the rotation axis of the connecting part 3.

  The temple plane part 23 is in contact with the edge of the temple plane part 21 far from the tip of the temple part 2 and is substantially horizontal with respect to the rotation axis of the connecting part 3.

  The front flat surface portion 11 has a substantially rectangular shape similar to the temple flat surface portion 21, is opposed to and close to the temple flat surface portion 21 in the unfolded state, and is separated from the temple flat surface portion 21 in the folded state. The front flat surface portion 11 is substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connecting portion 3.

  The front plane part 12 is opposed to and close to the temple plane part 22 in the unfolded state, and is separated from the temple plane part 22 in the folded state. The front flat surface portion 12 is in contact with the edge of the front flat surface portion 11 on the side far from the tip of the side end portion of the front portion 1, and is substantially horizontal with respect to the rotation axis of the connecting portion 3.

  The front plane portion 13 is opposed to and close to the temple plane portion 23 in the unfolded state, and is separated from the temple plane portion 23 in the folded state. The front flat surface portion 13 is in contact with the edge of the front flat surface portion 11 on the side close to the tip of the side end portion of the front portion 1 and is substantially horizontal with respect to the rotation axis of the connecting portion 3.

  The rotation axis of the connecting portion 3 is arranged near one side of the temple plane portion 22 and one side of the front plane portion 12 that are close to each other.

Ten electrical contacts 4 are formed between the front flat surface portion 11 and the temple flat surface portion 21. The ten electric contacts 4 respectively connect ten conductive paths that cross between the front part 1 and the temple part 2 in the unfolded state, and separate them in the folded state.
The electrical contact 4 is an example of a first electrical contact in the present invention.
The conductive path that passes between the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 via the electrical contact 4 is an example of the first conductive path in the present invention.

  Each electrical contact 4 includes a pad 41 disposed on the front flat surface portion 11 and a pin 42 disposed on the temple flat surface portion 21. The pin 42 is urged in a direction protruding from the surface of the front flat surface portion 11 by an elastic member such as a spring.

  In the eyeglass-type electronic apparatus having the above-described configuration, when the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are rotated at the connecting portion 3 to be in the unfolded state, the front plane portion 11 and the temple plane portion 21 face each other and are close to each other. To do. When the front flat surface portion 11 and the temple flat surface portion 21 face each other in opposition, the ten pads 41 disposed on the front flat surface portion 11 and the ten pins 42 disposed on the temple flat surface portion 21 are electrically connected to each other. Touch. As a result, the ten conductive paths extending between the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are conducted through the electrical contacts 4.

  Further, when the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are rotated at the connecting portion 3 to be in a folded state, the front plane portion 11 and the temple plane portion 21 are separated from each other, so that the pad 41 and the pin 42 are electrically connected. Separated. As a result, the ten conductive paths that cross between the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are blocked at the electrical contacts 4.

  As described above, according to the eyeglass-type electronic device according to the present embodiment, the temple plane portion 21 formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the temple portion 2 and the temple plane portion 21 in the unfolded state are opposed to each other. An electrical contact 4 is formed between the front flat surface portion 11 and the front flat surface portion 11. Thereby, compared with the case where an electrical contact is formed in the end surface perpendicular | vertical to the longitudinal direction of a temple part, an electrical contact can be arrange | positioned in a larger plane part. Therefore, it is possible to provide more electrical contacts, and more conductive paths can be passed between the temple part and the front part.

  Further, according to the eyeglass-type electronic device according to the present embodiment, the temple plane part 21 and the front plane part 11 are planes perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connecting part 3, so Even when the temple part 2 rotates relatively, the distance between the temple flat part 21 and the front flat part 11 is kept constant. In this case, the contact position between the pad 41 and the pin 42 in the electric contact 4 moves on the plane and slides both, but if the rotation is slight, the contact between the pad 41 and the pin 42 is stably maintained. Be drunk. That is, even when the front part 1 and the temple part 2 are relatively slightly rotated in the unfolded state, the electrical contact at the electrical contact 4 can be kept stable.

  Furthermore, according to the eyeglass-type electronic device according to the present embodiment, the pin 42 is urged in a direction protruding from the surface of the front flat portion 11. As a result, when the front flat surface portion 11 and the temple flat surface portion 21 face each other in the expanded state, the pin 42 is pressed against the pad 41 by this biasing force, so that the pin 42 is reliably brought into contact with the pad 41. be able to. Further, even when the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are relatively slightly rotated in the deployed state, the pin 42 can be stably brought into contact with the pad 41.

  When the front part 1 and the temple part 2 are relatively slightly rotated in the unfolded state, the contact position 43 between the pad 41 and the pin 42 in the electrical contact 4 is, for example, as shown by a dotted arrow in FIG. Move to. In this way, even when the contact position 43 moves in response to a slight relative rotation between the front part 1 and the temple part 2, the contact position 43 is maintained so that the contact of the electric contact 4 is stably maintained. It is desirable to appropriately set the position, shape and size of the pad 41 in accordance with the allowable movement range.

  Moreover, in the spectacles-type electronic device according to the present embodiment, since the front plane part 11 and the temple plane part 21 are both perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connecting part 3, the front part 1 and the temple part 2 are relatively moved. When rotated, the front flat surface portion 11 and the temple flat surface portion 21 move while maintaining their parallel state. Therefore, if there are a plurality of pads 41 on the locus of the tip of the pin 42 when the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are relatively rotated, in an intermediate state between the expanded state and the folded state, The pin 42 temporarily comes into contact with the pad 41 that should not be in contact.

  Therefore, in the eyeglass-type electronic device according to the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, on the locus of the tip of each pin 42 when the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are relatively rotated (FIG. 6). It is desirable that the arrangement of the pads 41 on the front plane portion 11 and the arrangement of the pins 42 on the temple plane portion 21 are set so that only one pad 41 exists on the dotted line in FIG. 6 transparently represents the position of each pin 42 as viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2, and the tip of each pin 42 when the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are relatively rotated. It is a figure showing a locus. As shown in the example of FIG. 6, by setting the arrangement of each pin 42 and each pad 41 so that only one pad 41 exists on the locus of the tip of each pin 42, each pin 42 has one pad. Since the pin 42 comes into contact only with the pin 41, it is possible to prevent malfunction due to the contact between the pin 42 and the pad 41 which should not be in contact with each other, and wear of the contact due to unnecessary sliding between the pin 42 and the pad 41. Can be prevented.

The plate-like electrode 51 is held on the surface of the front flat surface portion 12 in a posture in which both surfaces thereof are perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connecting portion 3. The receiving-side electrode 52 has two electrode plates arranged to face each other. As shown in FIG. 8B, the plate-like electrode 51 is sandwiched and received by the two electrode plates. In the example of FIG. 7, the receiving electrode 52 is embedded in a hole formed on the surface of the temple flat surface portion 22.

  A step portion 15 rising from the surface of the front plane portion 12 is formed around the front plane portion 12 where the plate-like electrode 51 is disposed. Further, a stepped portion 25 that falls from the surface of the temple flat surface portion 22 is formed around the temple flat surface portion 22 where the receiving side electrode 52 is disposed.

The plate-like electrode 51 and the receiving-side electrode 52 are in electrical contact by being sandwiched and received from both sides by the receiving-side electrode 52 disposed on the surface of the flat portion 22. As a result, even when the front portion 1 and the temple portion 2 are relatively slightly rotated, the state in which the plate-like electrode 51 is sandwiched from both sides by the receiving side electrode 52 can be maintained. Contact can be kept stable.

  Furthermore, according to the eyeglass-type electronic device according to the present embodiment, the step portion 15 formed around the front plane portion 12 and the step portion 25 formed around the temple plane portion 22 are engaged with each other.
