Further, a lid body 3 is integrally formed on the upper opening edge of the frame plate body 2 so as to be integrally connected via a hinge portion 31 utilizing the flexibility of the material.

Since the frame plate 2 can be rotated with respect to the bottom plate 1, the back plate 13 and the front plate 14 of the bottom plate 1 can be rotated.
It is desirable that the back plate 22 and the front plate 23 of the frame plate 2 be formed in a curved shape along a concentric circle centered on the bearing 12. Further, the back plate 2 is rotated by the rotation of the frame plate body 2.
When the position of 2 is changed in the vertical direction, as a locking means for locking at a required position, a plate using the elasticity of the material is separated by a slit 15 at the center of the back plate 13 of the bottom plate body 1. The frame-shaped body 2 is formed with a spring-shaped locking claw 16 and faces the locking claw 16.
The back plate 22 of the locking hole 2 is vertically spaced at a predetermined interval.
4 are formed.

A locking hook 32 is provided in front of the inside of the lid 3.
Is integrally projected, and a receiving portion 17 for the locking hook 32 is integrally formed in front of the inside of the bottom plate body 1 opposed thereto. In addition, a sheet-like protection means 4 made of a soft material such as non-woven fabric is formed on the inner surface of the main body of the main body of the spectacle case including the bottom plate body 1, the frame plate body 2 and the lid body 3 by pasting or the like. The protection means 4 is formed so that it can be accommodated in a state where the back plate 22 of the frame plate 2 is moved upward, and when the back plate 22 is below, the back side of the protection means 4 is folded or loosened. Become.

In the above structure, the frame plate 2 is supported by the bearing 12 of the side plate 11 of the bottom plate 1 so that the front side of the side plate 21 of the frame plate 2 does not fall off.
The front plate 23 side can be omitted. 3 and 4
Shows an embodiment in which the front plate 23 side of the frame plate 2 is omitted, and in this case, the frame plate 2 is formed in a substantially U-shape in plan view.

With the above-mentioned structure, regardless of the position of the frame plate 2 with respect to the bottom plate 1, by opening and closing the lid 3 connected through the hinge portion 31, glasses or pencils can be inserted in the main body.
Small items such as pens can be taken in and out. Further, by forming the protection means 4 such as a non-woven fabric on the inner surface of the main body, it is possible to protect, for example, the lenses of the stored glasses.

The side plate 21 of the frame plate 2 with respect to the bottom plate 1
Since the front side of the is supported, the position of the back plate 22 side can be changed in the vertical direction by the rotation, and the height of the rear part of the main body can be changed. Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, the locking claws 16 of the back plate 13 of the bottom plate 1 are locked to the upper part of the back plate 22 of the frame plate 2 with the height of the rear portion of the main body being lowered. When hooked in the hole 24, it can be held in a state where the internal storage volume is reduced. In this form, thin glasses that are normally used can be stably stored and the portability can be improved.

Next, the locking claw 16 is pressed to press the locking hole 2
4 is disengaged and the frame plate 2 is rotated around the bearing 12, the height of the rear portion of the main body can be increased as shown in FIG. 5B. In this way, the internal storage volume can be increased, and even glasses having a relatively large thickness such as sunglasses can be easily stored. In this state, by engaging the locking claws 16 of the back plate 13 of the bottom plate 1 with the other locking holes 24 of the back plate 22 of the frame plate 2, the height of the rear surface side of the main body is set to a predetermined level as described above. Can be held in the position.

[0014]

As described above, in the accessory case of the present invention, small articles such as glasses, pencils and pens can be taken in and out of the main body by opening and closing the lid connected to the frame plate. Further, since the front side of the side plate of the frame plate is supported with respect to the bottom plate, the back plate side can be changed in the vertical direction by the rotation, and the height of the rear part of the main body can be changed. Further, by providing locking means on the back plate of the bottom plate and the back plate of the frame plate, the height on the back side can be held at a predetermined position. By this, by reducing the height of the rear portion of the main body, it is possible to reduce the storage volume, for example,
It is possible to stably store thin glasses and the like.
Similarly, by increasing the height of the rear portion of the main body, it is possible to easily increase the storage volume, and similarly, it is possible to store thick glasses or the like. However, when using it as a glasses case, it is not necessary to prepare a dedicated glasses case for each thickness of glasses as in the past, and it can be used as a single glasses case when using ordinary glasses and sunglasses.
