Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To provide folding glasses that are excellent in portability and operability. [Structure] A foldable bridge and a grip / clip attached to the rim of one of the rims. Preferably, a semi-arcuate band is provided on the back side of the rim.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to folding spectacles with handles (referred to as ronets).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As you get older and become presbyopic, it becomes difficult to read small letters and you will wear reading glasses every time you need it. However, other people in everyday life do not need glasses. These people carry around reading glasses, which can be a nuisance and often forget to carry. In addition, even those who wear glasses for myopia and who need reading glasses, will need to carry reading glasses separately.

Therefore, conventionally, foldable spectacles have been proposed in which a spring material is used for a bridge portion and the elasticity is utilized to store the spectacles like a jack knife.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional jackknife-type folding eyeglasses are dangerous because the rims that hold the eyeglasses pop out vigorously when unfolding for use because the spring strength of the bridge part is large, and the force is high when storing. There was a problem that required. However, if the spring is weakened, it will be inferior in rigidity and cannot be put to practical use.

Further, the handle portion is not foldable, and when it is needed, it has to be taken out from a pocket or a bag, and portability is not good. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide folding glasses that are excellent in operability and portability.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is "foldable spectacles composed of two rims on the left and right, a foldable bridge connecting these rims, and a clip serving as a handle hinged to the rim of one rim". is there.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, since the bridge is foldable and the clip serving as a handle that is hinged on the tip is provided, operability and portability can be improved.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. 1 to 3 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention. Two substantially rectangular lenses are fitted and retained on the two left and right rims, respectively. The left and right two rims are foldably connected by a bridge at their connecting portions.

Wigs are formed on one rim on the side opposite to the bridge. A clip that doubles as a handle is attached to the opposite end of the wisdom rim. When the angle formed between the wisdom and the grip / clip is approximately 180 ° (the hinge is opened), the grip / clip functions as a grip when using glasses. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a use state of an embodiment of the folding glasses of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof. In the present embodiment, the angle formed by the wisdom and the clip that also serves as a handle is stopped at 180 °. Specifically, by increasing the length of the tip connected to the handle, a spring is built in and stability is provided when the angle between the tip and the clip that also serves as the handle is 0 ° or 180 °. . In the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, hold the spectacles by using the grip / clip with the thumb and forefinger.

When the angle formed between the wisdom and the grip / clip is almost 0 ° (the hinge is closed), the grip / clip functions as a clip for carrying glasses. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a folded state of an embodiment of the folding glasses of the present invention. At this time, the tip of the clip that also serves as a handle overlaps with the lens that is fitted into the folded rim (the side where the wisdom is not formed), but if the tip of the clip that also serves as a lens touches the lens, the lens may be damaged. . For this reason, in this embodiment, a semi-arcuate band is attached to the back side of the wisdom so that the tip of the handle does not touch the lens when the handle is folded. The chain can be attached and detached by attaching a band.

Further, by making the thickness of the rim larger than the thickness of the lens, the folded handle is brought into contact with the rim so as not to touch the lens. The lens is made of glass or hard plastic and is optionally tinted or dyed. The parts other than the lens are made of metal, such as nickel silver, and the surface is plated with precious metals such as gold and silver or painted.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the bridge can be folded and the clip which is also used as a handle and which is hingedly attached to the handle is provided, it is possible to easily store the clip without undue force. Also, since it is folded in half and the handle doubles as a clip, it can be held in the chest pocket like a ballpoint pen, which is highly portable.

[0013] Furthermore, by attaching a semi-arcuate band to the back side of the wisdom, the chain can be attached and detached, and when the handle is folded, it is possible to restrict the tip of the handle from touching the lens. By increasing the length of the tip that connects to the handle, a spring is built in to provide stability when the handle is widened and folded, and the tip of the handle does not touch the thickest part of the lens (almost the center). Can be

Similarly, by making the thickness of the rim larger than the thickness of the lens, it becomes possible to bring the folded handle into contact with the rim so as not to touch the lens.
