Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a portable magnifying glass with a storage case.

BACKGROUND ART Various types of magnifying glasses with a storage case have been proposed in the past, and the magnifying glass is configured such that the lens member can be stored in the storage case to protect the lens and improve portability when not in use. It is put into practical use.

Problems that the invention aims to solve The conventionally known magnifying glass with a storage case is
The storage case may not be able to store the lens member sufficiently, and the lens member may be relatively prone to dust when being carried around, or the storage case may not function sufficiently as the handle of the lens member, and the storage case may not be able to handle the handle of the lens member. However, it has a structure that is difficult to grip, and does not yet satisfy the requirements of complete protection of the lens when not in use, ease of use, and excellent portability.

The present invention provides complete protection of the lens when not in use, ease of use, and excellent portability.It is particularly thin and has a structure in which the storage case acts as a handle for the lens component and is easy to grip. The purpose is to provide a magnifying glass with a case.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, the above-mentioned object is to provide a system between a closed state in which they overlap each other to define a chamber space therein and an open state in which they are separated from each other to open the chamber space. a first case half and a second case half pivotally connected to each other so as to be rotatable; and a first case half and a second case half pivotally connected to either the first case half or the second case half. the first case half and the second case half; The body is achieved by a magnifying glass with a storage case, characterized in that the lens member is configured to overlap in the closed state to form a handle of the lens member when the lens member is in the use position.

Effects and Effects of the Invention According to the above-described structure, the magnifying glass as a whole becomes so-called trifold and thin, and the room space can be easily sealed by selecting the shapes of the first and second case halves. Therefore, when the first and second case halves are not in use, the lens itself can be stored in the interior space, and the lens member can be protected from dust and scratches with excellent portability. Furthermore, the first and second case halves can be folded closed when in use to form a complete case, the same as when carried, making it easy to hold as a handle for the lens member. It is easy to use and provides excellent usability.

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

1 to 3 show one embodiment of a magnifying glass with a storage case according to the present invention. In these figures, 10 indicates a first case half, and 12 indicates a second case half. The first case half body 10 and the second case half body 12 are each formed in a shell shape, and are pivotally connected to each other by a hinge structure 14 at one side edge of each other. As shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 3, there is a closed state in which they overlap each other to define a sealed chamber space 16 inside, and a closed state in which they overlap each other to define a sealed chamber space 16 inside, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 and in FIG. They are configured to be mutually rotatable between an open state in which they are separated and open the chamber space 16. The hinge structure 14 may be a pivot type or a hemispherical protrusion that fits into a recess that receives it, and the type of the hinge structure 14 depends on the shape and material of the first and second case halves 10 and 12. It may be selected as appropriate depending on the situation.

One side edge of a lens member 20 is pivotally connected to the side edge of the first case half 10 on the side opposite to the side edge on the hinge structure 14 side by a hinge structure 18 . The lens member 20 is composed of a lens portion 22 and a frame portion 24 that holds the lens portion and includes a portion of the hinge structure 18, and as shown by imaginary lines in FIG. As shown in the solid line in FIG. 1 and in FIGS. 2 and 3, the housing is taken out from the chamber space 16 and extends in line with the first case half 10. It is designed to be able to rotate between the use position and the position where it is used. When the lens member 20 is made of glass or plastic, the lens portion 22
and frame portion 24 may be integrally molded with each other.

When not in use, that is, when carried, the lens member 20
As shown by the imaginary lines in FIG. 1, the chamber space 16 has a closed structure defined by the first case half 10 and the second case half 12 in the closed state.
It is completely covered by the first case half 10 and the second case half 12 and is completely protected from dust and scratches. When carried, the first case half 10 and the second case half 12, with the lens member 20 in the closed state as described above,
By being housed in the chamber space 16 defined by the above, the magnifying glass with a storage case not only provides the above-mentioned effects, but also has a thin and highly portable form.

In use, first, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first case half 10 and the second case half 12 are rotated about the hinge center of the hinge structure 14 to separate them from each other. that is, bring the first case half 10 and the second case half 12 into an open state, thereby opening the chamber space 16, and then rotate the lens member 20 around the hinge center of the hinge structure 18. and move the lens member into chamber space 1.
6 and spread it in line with the first case half 10, that is, bring it to the use position,
Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the first case half 10 and the second case half 12 are rotated about the center of the hinge structure 14 to overlap each other, that is, to bring them into the closed state. bring. As a result, when the lens member 20 is taken out from the chamber space 16 and is in the use position, the first case half 10 and the second case half 12 form a complete case state, and the lens member 20 is held. It is used as a handle of easy shape.

As described above, when storing the lens member 16 in the chamber space 16 from the used state, the first case half 1
0 and the second case half 12 are separated from each other to bring them into the open state, and then the lens member 20 is rotated around the hinge center of the hinge structure 18 to move the lens member 20 from the use position into the room space 16. Then, the first case half 10 and the second case half 12 are rotated relative to each other to bring them into the closed state in which they overlap each other. As a result, the magnifying glass with storage case is in the same state as when not in use as described above.

Note that the first case half 10 and the second case half 12 are maintained in the closed state in a stable state and are not opened inadvertently. The second case half 12 may incorporate a quick-stop mechanism of general construction.

Although the present invention has been described above in detail with reference to specific embodiments, it is understood that the present invention is not limited to this and that various embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention. This will be obvious to businesses.
