Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a contact lens holder.

"Prior Art" For example, a contact lens holder disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 43-26271 is known. The holder has a pair of left and right boat-shaped elastic clamping plates facing each other through a support rod from the center of the upper surface of the base plate. The contact lens can be sandwiched between the recesses. Further, in the holder, the cap top wall fitted to the mouth of the container body is used as the base plate, and the holding plate is hung from the lower surface of the top wall into the container body, and the contact lens held by the holding plate is held in the container body. It may be held in a chemical solution.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional contact lens holder, the contact lens is sandwiched between the boat-shaped sandwiching plates projecting from the tip of the support rod toward the concave portion. Keep the opening interval smaller than the contact lens diameter, place part of the lens in the opening interval, deform both clamping plates against the elasticity and push the lens as it is, and store it. Also in this case, the holding plate is elastically deformed to forcibly pull out the lens from the opening.
Therefore, if the holder, particularly the sandwiching plate, is not accurate in shape, size, etc., it is difficult to attach / detach and store the holder, and the holder is incomplete.

According to the present invention, the holding pieces are projected from the holding plates, and the holding plates are separated by holding them so that the holding pieces approach each other.
Further, the holding plate is provided so as to approach the holding plate by elastic recovery by detaching the gripping piece so that the lens can be attached and detached, thereby eliminating the above-mentioned conventional defects.

"Means for Solving the Problem" A holder body 1 protruding from the outer circumference of the partition wall 2 to the top and bottom of the storage cylinders 3, 3 and a peripheral wall 7 vertically extending from the outer circumference of the top wall 6 to the storage cylinders 3, 3 are attached and detached. A holding member 5 which is freely fitted and has support rods 8 and 8 projecting from the central portion of the top wall 6 into the accommodating tubular portions 3 and 3 and having contact lens accommodating portions 9 and 9 attached to the tips of the supporting rods. , 5, and the storage portion is opened in the protruding direction of the support rod and the inner surface is provided with a concave groove 10 for side fitting of the contact lens.
And the gripping plates 12, 12 are extended from the base ends of the sandwiching plates 11, 11 formed by the left and right side portions of the U-shape in the direction opposite to the protruding direction of these sandwiching plates. The holding plate is formed into a shape, and by pressing the two gripping pieces in the opposite direction, the two holding plates are elastically deformed so that the end gaps of both holding plates can be expanded.

[Operation] Remove the holding members 5, 5 from the holder body 1 in the state shown in FIG.
As shown in Fig. 3, the tabs 12 and 12 move toward the tip.
The contact lenses 13, 13 can be removed by picking up the nipping plates 11, 11, and the nipping plate 11, 11 can be removed by releasing the picking piece.
Returns elastically. When remounting the lens, the sandwiching plates 11 and 11 may be opened as described above, the lenses 13 and 13 may be inserted between them, and the tabs 12 and 12 may be separated.

[Example] The holder of the present invention includes a holder body 1 and holding members 5 and 5.

The holder body 1 is one in which the storage cylinders 3 and 3 project vertically from the outer periphery of the partition wall 2, one of the storage cylinders for the right eye contact lens and the other storage cylinder for the left eye contact lens.
Each end of each of these storage cylinders is formed as a male screw cylinder 4,4.

The holding members 5, 5 form a pair of upper and lower parts, and are configured identically. For convenience of explanation, the holding member in the upper part of FIG. 1 will be described. A peripheral wall 7 hanging down from the outer periphery of the top wall 6 is screwed into the male screw cylinder portion 4, and a support rod 8 is inserted from the central portion of the top wall into the storage cylinder portion 3. And the contact lens storage portions 9, 9 are attached to the lower end thereof. The accommodating portion opens downward from the lower end of the support rod, and has a concave groove 10 on the inner surface for side fitting of the lens.
Is formed in the shape of an inverted U and the left and right sides of the sandwiching plates 11 and 11 are formed by gripping pieces 12 and 12 from the base end as the upper end.
Is an extended shape. The holding plates 11 and 11 are provided so that the upper ends of the holding plates 12 and 12 open against elasticity by pinching the upper ends of the holding pieces 12 and 12 toward each other, and in the expanded state, the storage portion
The contact lenses 13, 13 are attached to and detached from the inside of 9, 9, and the lenses are held in the storage portion by elastic restoration of the sandwiching plates 11, 11 by releasing the grip pieces.

It should be noted that the lens cleaning liquid may be put into the storage cylinders 3, 3.

"Effect of device" The present invention is configured as described above, and holds the holding members 5, 5 between the holding plates 11,
Since the gripping pieces 12 and 12 are projected from the base end in the direction opposite to the sandwiching plate and the sandwiching plates are opened by gripping both of these gripping plates, the contact lens is stored between the sandwiching plates. It can be easily removed, and the stored state can be reliably retained.
