Description

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

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, various methods have been used to cover a lens with a case to protect the lens when the magnifying glass is not in use. On the other hand, various proposals have been made to combine a magnifying glass stand in order to hold the magnifying glass in a fixed position when the magnifying glass is used.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: Magnifying glasses, which are usually held in one hand, are inconvenient for people with hand disabilities, and even if they are not used for long periods of time, they cause hand fatigue and are inconvenient. be. Further, when the magnifying glass is not in use, it is preferable to store the magnifying glass in a case to protect the lens. In this way, when a stand to hold the magnifying glass in a fixed position when in use and a case to protect the lens when not in use are desired, providing both the stand and the case separately makes it possible to There is a problem that the prices of goods are increasing.

The object of the present invention is to provide a magnifying glass that is convenient to use and is provided with a stand and a case as accessories at a low cost.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, the above object is to provide a stand type case which functions as a case for storing and protecting the magnifying glass when not in use and functions as a stand to support the magnifying glass when in use. This is achieved by combining it with a magnifying glass.

Functions and Effects of the Invention The stand-type case, which has two functions as described above, can store the lens part of the magnifying glass to protect the lens surface of the magnifying glass when not in use, and can store the lens part of the magnifying glass in order to protect the lens surface of the magnifying glass when not in use. They can work together to hold the magnifying glass in a fixed position.

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

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the magnifying glass 10 with its lens 16 housed in a case 12, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the magnifying glass 10 in a used state supported by a stand.

The magnifying glass 10 is composed of a handle 14, a lens 16, and a lens frame 18. Handle 1
4 is pivotally attached to a part of the lens frame 18, particularly to a protrusion formed in a part of the lens frame 18 in the illustrated embodiment, by a screw 28. Instead of the screw 28, other coupling means may be used such that the handle 14 can rotate freely, such as a recess-and-protrusion form-fitting engagement. Further, the handle 14 may be configured to be pivotally bent at a portion other than the portion where it is attached to the lens frame. In the case of the screw 28, by adjusting its tightening force, the handle 14 can be freely rotated by hand with appropriate stiffness, and the operating position shown in FIG. 2 can be maintained. The necessary power will be provided.

As shown in FIG. 2, the end 30 of the handle 14 is inclined with respect to the axis of the handle so that the magnifying glass is stably supported on a flat surface when in the use position, and the end 30 has a rubberized surface. Preferably, an overlay layer made of a material such as the like is provided. lens 16
The lens frame 18 may be rectangular as in the embodiment, but may also have other shapes such as a circle.Furthermore, the lens and lens frame do not need to be manufactured separately and may be manufactured as one piece.

The case 12 has a storage section 32 for storing lenses and lens frames, and the storage section includes two side walls 22, two lateral walls 24, and a pedestal section 2.
6. To explain this case in more detail, in order to protect the lens surface, when the magnifying glass is inserted and when it is in the insertion position, the lens surface is protected from the storage part 32.
It is preferable that the thickness of the lens frame is adapted to the width of the inner surface of the storage part so as not to contact the inner wall surface of the lens frame, and that the maximum thickness of the central part of the lens is smaller than the thickness of the lens frame.

The magnifying glass 10 inserted into the case has a first
As shown in the figure, only the lens portion may be accommodated, but the case may be configured to accommodate the handle 14 as well.

A pedestal section 26 is provided at the bottom of the case 12, which prevents the case from falling over.
In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, an engaging portion 20 protruding from one side wall 22 of the case 12 is capable of engaging with a portion of the lens frame 18. It has a shape. The shape of the engaging portion 20 is as follows:
Although it may be formed as a protrusion with an L-shaped cross section as shown in the figure, it may have other shapes that can engage a portion of the lens frame.

The engagement device composed of a portion of the lens frame and the engagement portion provided on the side wall of the case may be of a type other than that described above. Generally, such an engagement device may be composed of a male part provided on one side of the case or the lens frame, and a female part provided on the other side of the case or the lens frame. In addition to the type in which the shaped part is simply placed on the female shaped part, the male shaped part and the female shaped part may be constructed so as to be fixedly engaged with each other. Therefore, it is also possible to provide a male protrusion on the lens frame and not provide any protrusion on the side wall of the case. FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which another type of engagement device is used.
In this embodiment, a male engaging portion 20' is formed by a metal fitting attached to the lens frame, and a female engaging portion 20'' is formed by a notch provided on the side wall of the case. Instead of the metal fitting, a male engaging portion may be integrally formed with the lens frame.

4 and 5 are cross-sectional views of the engaging structure used in the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively.

When using a magnifying glass, bend the handle by hand, engage the engaging part of the lens frame with the engaging part of the case, and the magnifying glass is supported by the other end of the handle and the case. Place it like this. The length and angle of the handle and the position of the engaging part provided on the case are appropriately determined depending on the focal point of the lens, the size of the lens, etc., so that it can be used as shown in Figure 2. When in this state, the magnifying glass is held stably and provides a proper magnifying effect to the user. The pivot portion of the handle may be provided with a stop to prevent the angle of the handle from changing during use.

Each member may be made of any material as long as it provides the functions described above, such as plastic.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made to the invention as described in the claims for utility model registration. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that this may be done without departing from the scope of the invention.
