FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a main part showing an embodiment of a spectacle frame with an ornament according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the main part. In these drawings, a metal frame generally designated by reference numeral 1 is a pair of left and right rims 3 for holding a lens, a wisdom 4 attached to an outer peripheral portion of the rim 3, a front end of the wisdom 4 through a hinge 5. A temple 6 and a pad (not shown) pivotally attached to the left and right are provided, and a decorative article 7 is detachably attached to the temple 6 near the front end thereof via a connecting tool 8 and a ring 9. .. Therefore, the temple 6 is formed with a fitting hole 11 having an appropriate hole diameter penetrating through the front and back surfaces, and the connector 8 is fitted or slidable in the fitting hole 11 so as to be detachable from the outside. They are fitted together in a mated state and, if necessary, fixed with adhesive, screws, caulking or the like.

The ornament 7 is a material such as precious metal, leather, magnet, etc., metal, fiber, ceramics, synthetic resin, etc., or a combination thereof, a trademark, a symbol, a numeral, a decorative pattern, a decoration of a pattern, etc. The shape, material and the like of the plate, the string, the chain, etc. are not particularly limited. The attachment position of the ornament 7 is not limited to the front end of the temple 6, but may be the modern portion on the rear end of the temple, the armor, or the wisdom 4, etc. In short, the ornament 7 obstructs the side view. Any place that does not

The connecting member 8 is composed of a cylindrical main body 8 A and a flange portion 8 B integrally provided on the outer peripheral portion at one end of the main body 8 A, and the ring 9 is inserted into the center hole 13. The outer peripheral surface of the insertion side end of the main body 8A is formed into a tapered taper surface to facilitate fitting into the fitting hole 11. The ring 9 is inserted into a small hole 12 provided in the ornament 7, and after the connecting tool 8 is fitted in the fitting hole 11, the cut end 9A is opened by a hand or an appropriate tool with an appropriate interval to connect the connecting tool. 8 is inserted into the hole 13, and after the insertion, the cut end 9A is returned to the original closed state to connect the ornament 7 and the connecting tool 8.

Thus, in the eyeglass frame with an ornament having such a structure, it is only necessary to form the fitting hole 11 in the temple 6, and the frame can be manufactured easily and easily. The eyeglass wearer can freely wear it according to his or her preference and enjoy fashion.

3 to 7 show another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an essential part, FIG. 4 is a front view of a connecting part attaching portion, and FIG. 5 is a V-V of FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the ornament, and FIG. 7 is a rear view of the connector attachment portion. In this embodiment, a thin connector attachment portion 20 having a fitting hole 21 is integrally formed at a predetermined portion of the lower edge of the temple 6, and the connector 8 attached to the ornament 7 through a ring 9 is fitted into the fitting 8. It fits into the hole 21 and is caulked and fixed on the back side of the frame.

A semi-circular reinforcing portion 19 is integrally projectingly provided on the upper edge of the temple 6 at a position corresponding to the connector attaching portion 20. The connector attachment portion 20 is formed in a C-shape so that a notch opening portion 22 is provided at the lower end of the fitting hole 21, and the notch in the lower half from the center facing the notch opening portion 22. The open ends 20a and 20b project downward from the lower edge of the temple 6. The width w of the notch opening 22 is set larger than the wire diameter of the ring 9. The front surface of the connector attachment portion 20 is recessed from the front surface of the temple 6 to form a spot facing portion 23, and the back surface is flush with the back surface of the temple 6.

The connecting tool 8 fitted in the fitting hole 21 is composed of a main body 8A, a collar portion 8B, and a projection portion 8C projecting axially in a part of the outer peripheral surface of the main body 8A. Rotation is prevented by inserting the portion 8C into the notch opening portion 22 as shown in FIG. The length of the main body 8A is set to be slightly longer than the thickness of the connector attachment portion 20 in order to secure a caulking margin for the temple 6. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 24 denotes a crimped portion crimped to the temple 6. This caulking work is performed after the combination of the surface-treated frame and the accessory is determined. The caulking of the connecting member 8 is easy by forming the connecting member 8 with a relatively soft gold alloy or the like, and when detaching, it can be easily removed by raising it with a wrench. The brim 8B of the connector 8 has a thickness substantially equal to the depth of the counterbore 23, and when the connector 8 is attached to the temple 6, it forms the same surface as the temple surface. The protrusion 8C may be omitted if the connector 8 may be rotated after being attached or if the positioning is not important.

Also in such a configuration, the frame of the frame can be manufactured at a low cost because the configuration of the connector attachment portion 20 is simple as in the above-described embodiment. Further, since the notch opening 22 is provided in the fitting hole 21 and the width w thereof is set to be larger than the wire diameter of the ring 9, the connector 8 to which the ring 9 is attached is fitted into the fitting hole 21 in advance. It has the advantage of being able to

Here, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the connector 8 is caulked and fixed in the fitting hole 21, but the hole diameter of the fitting hole 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the main body 8 A of the connector 8. It is also possible to set it small so that the cutout opening 22 of the connector attaching portion 20 has elasticity so that the connector 8 is elastically clamped. In that case, the connector 8 is attached to the temple 6. Since it is not necessary to bother to fix it, the accessory 7 can be easily attached and detached by the wearer. Further, the present invention can be variously modified without being limited to the above embodiment. For example, the fitting holes 11 and 21 may be elongated holes in the longitudinal direction of the temple 6 instead of being circular.
