DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to spectacles which are small in volume and are easy to carry, especially spectacles suitable for reading glasses.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, eyeglasses commonly used are constructed such that vines to be hung on ears are attached to both sides of a body portion of the eyeglasses via hinges, regardless of whether they are framed or unframed. When not using (wearing) spectacles, both vines are often folded and carried in a spectacle case or the like.

[0003] By the way, the eyeglass body is three-dimensional as viewed from the side with the lens portion horizontal, and when both vines are folded on this when not using the glasses, both vines are placed on the lens. The vines intersect, and the ends of the ears of the vine abut against the edges of the eyeglass body, and the vine stabilizes. Here, the vines have a gap above the lens, and the ear hook end of the vine may protrude from the main body, so even if you put it in the eyeglass case, it is bulky and portable. Is worse.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the inventions according to the first to fifth aspects of the present invention reduce the bulk by bringing the vine into a short length and bringing the vine as close as possible to the lens in a folded state, thereby providing excellent portability. It is intended to provide eyeglasses.

[0005] The invention according to claim 6 is based on claims 1 to 5.
In addition to the purpose of the described invention, when wearing spectacles, an object of the present invention is to provide spectacles which exert a magnetic effect such as fatigue recovery by naturally pressing a magnet against a temple portion mentioned as one of the pots of the human body. It was done.

[0006] The invention according to claim 7 is the invention according to claims 1 to 6.
In addition to the object of the invention described above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a user-friendly spectacles by eliminating the positional relationship between spectacles when wearing spectacles.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, the length of the vine is reduced according to the first aspect of the present invention.
The vine is set to be short enough to cross the lens corresponding to the base of the vine with the vine folded, and an elastic contact member is attached to the end of the vine, and the member is pressed against the temple of the spectacle wearer. And holding the glasses.

Here, the length of the vine is set to such a length that the ear hook of the vine of general-purpose glasses is cut off, that is, about half the length of the vine of general-purpose glasses.

When the vine is shortened in this way, interference between both vines in a state where the vine is folded can be eliminated, and the vine can be made as close as possible to the lens and the bulk can be reduced. Further, since the vine is folded and the contact member made of the elastic material comes into contact with the corresponding lens surface, the end of the vine does not directly contact the lens surface, so that the lens surface is not damaged.

[0010] The abutment member is pressed against the temple portion to hold the spectacles, and exhibits a non-slip function.
The elasticity of the vine is moderately added to the elasticity of the contact member by the appropriate elastic deformation to obtain a pressing force (pinching force). The practical pressing surface of the contact member is approximately 1 square centimeter. Is preferred.

In attaching the contact member to the vine, attachment means such as screwing and clipping may be employed, but the spectacle wearer is allowed to place the spectacle wearer in a desired position suitable for the wearer himself. In order to be able to move finely, an attachment hole is provided in the back of the contact member, and the vine is inserted into the attachment hole in a press-contact manner. It is preferable that the contact member can be moved by friction with respect to the portion. With such a configuration, the attachment position of the contact member can be easily changed, which is convenient.

[0012] Further, the contact member is preferably a molded product made of an elastic plastic material. In this way, when the contact member is a molded product made of an elastic plastic material, as the contact member, as in the invention according to claim 3, a suction cup having an attachment hole in a back portion molded of the elastic plastic material is used,
It is possible to adopt a configuration in which a soft pad made of a sponge material or the like that has a good touch and exhibits a non-slip action is mounted on the pressing surface of the suction cup. According to this structure, various requirements required for the contact member can be almost satisfied, and a pressing force without discomfort can be obtained even when wearing spectacles for a long time.

When the pad is removed and only the suction cup is used, the suction cup is pressed against the temple portion when the spectacles are worn, so that the suction action is also generated. . In addition, if the vine is folded and the suction cup is sucked to the corresponding lens surface, the vine is held in the folded position, the vine does not fluctuate and is stable, and the glasses can be carried naked. It becomes convenient.

Further, as the suction cup, a commercially available small suction cup having an attachment hole in the back can be used as it is, and a commercially available earphone pad or the like can be used as it is as long as the pad is the same size. It is also convenient to obtain these for replacing parts and parts.

When wearing general glasses, that is, when wearing glasses, hold the base of the vine with a fingertip, and move the ends of both vines from the front of the face to the temple of the spectacle wearer. The elastic contact member attached to the end of the vine is pressed against the temple to hold the glasses. Here, it is desired that the inside of the distal end portion of the contact member be minimized inwardly protruding. Therefore, as in the invention according to claim 4, a contact piece molded from an elastic plastic plate is used as the contact member, and the corresponding base is attached to the end of the vine, and the corresponding piece is inclined inward of the vine. If the free end of the patch is configured to be separated from the vine, both bases of the patch increase the lateral spread,
In wearing the spectacles, the base of the contact piece advances to the temple portion with almost no resistance, and thereafter, the free end of the contact piece is elastically pressed against the temple portion to hold the spectacles. Therefore, by adopting such a configuration, the user can easily detach the glasses by holding the base of the vine with one fingertip.

Further, as described above, it is possible to hold the spectacles by utilizing the elasticity of the patch itself, but as in the fifth aspect of the present invention, the pair of elastic pieces are elastically sandwiched between the patch and the vine. Preferably, a member is arranged and frictionally attached to the vine end. In this case, the elasticity of both the abutment piece and the elastic sandwiching member can act synergistically to press the temple portion, and the pushing force can be finely adjusted by moving the position of the elastic sandwiching member. It is convenient because it can be changed.

The temple where the contact member is pressed is considered to be one of the pots of the human body, and it is known that when the user is tired, if the user presses the fingertip for a while, he / she can get tired or feel relaxed. I have. Then, when a magnet is attached to the contact member as described in claim 6,
The magnet is pressed against the temples when wearing spectacles, and naturally exerts magnetic effects such as recovery from fatigue. Although there is no particular limitation on the form of the magnet used for the contact member, a central portion of the contact surface of the contact member is pressed so as not to cause a local pressing feeling when pressed against the temple portion when wearing spectacles. It is preferable to mount it in an embedded state.

On the other hand, near glasses, such as reading glasses, are frequently worn and removed. Therefore, it is required that this kind of glasses can be handled more easily. Therefore,
According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, a configuration is adopted in which a connecting portion for connecting both lenses is set on a line traversing the center of the lens, and a nose pad is formed at a vertically symmetrical position with respect to the connecting portion. In addition, when wearing glasses, the eyeglasses can be conveniently held because they can be groped and worn without worrying about the left-right and up-down relationship of the lens.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the glasses of the present invention in a state where a vine is raised, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the glasses of the present invention in a state where the vine is folded, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of eyeglasses showing another embodiment of the present invention in a state where a vine is raised, and FIGS. 5 (a), (b) and (c) are other sectional views of the present invention. It is a perspective view of the elastic contact member which shows embodiment.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the glasses, 2 is a vine,
Reference numeral 3 denotes a contact member attached to the end of the vine 2.

The main body 1 of the spectacles is formed by fitting a lens 1b to a frame (frame) 1a, and is the same as the main body of general-purpose spectacles.

The vine 2 is attached to both sides of the main body 1 via hinges 4 so as to be able to move up and down. In this hinge configuration, the vine 2 is the same as general-purpose spectacles. The vine 2 is set so as to cross the lens 1b on the side corresponding to the vine base in the folded state, that is, to the extent that the ear hooks are cut off in the vine of general-purpose glasses.

The contact member 3 is pressed against the temple portion when wearing spectacles, and a pressing force (holding force) for holding the spectacles by appropriately applying the elasticity of the vine 2 to the elasticity of the contact member itself due to moderate elastic deformation. Practically, a molded product made of an elastic plastic material is suitable, and the size of the pressing surface 3a is approximately 1 square centimeter.

In the structure for attaching the contact member 3 to the vine 2, the attachment hole 5 is provided on the back of the contact member 3, and the vine end 2a is inserted through the attachment hole 5 in a press-contact manner. Forming an uneven friction surface 6 on the surface of the vine end portion 2a so that the spectacle wearer can finely move to a desired position suitable for the wearer himself;
The contact member 3 can be moved by friction.

The contact member 3 having the above-described structure is substantially the same as a general-purpose suction cup having an attachment hole on the back formed of an elastic plastic material. As shown in FIG. 3, a soft pad 7 made of a sponge material or the like having a good touch and exhibiting an anti-slip action is provided on the pressing surface 3a.

When a suction cup is used as the contact member 3 as described above, if the pad 7 is removed and the pressing surface 3a of the suction cup is pressed directly against the temple, an adsorbing action is generated, so that some violent operation is required. Also in this case, the glasses can be prevented from falling off. Also, if the suction cup is attracted to the corresponding lens surface when the vine 2 is folded, the vine 2 is held in the folded position, which makes it convenient to carry the glasses naked.

Since the contact member 3 is pressed against the temple portion when wearing spectacles, when the magnet 8 is mounted on the pressing surface 3a of the contact member 3, the temple portion which is regarded as one of the pots of the human body when wearing spectacles. The magnet 8 is pressed against the magnet and naturally exerts a magnetic force effect such as recovery from fatigue. As means for attaching the magnet 8 to the contact member 3, a concave portion is formed at the center of the pressing surface 3a, and the concave portion is bonded with an adhesive, and a metal plate is buried at the bottom of the concave portion. The magnet 8 can also be detachably adsorbed.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is applied to spectacles of a frameless configuration in which a frame and a lens are integrally molded as a main body 1 of spectacles, and connects both lenses 1b.

The contact member 3 applied to the vine 2 of the eyeglasses of this embodiment uses a contact piece 3b molded from an elastic plastic plate material, and attaches a corresponding base to an end of the vine 2, and applies the corresponding piece 3b. The vine 2 is tilted inward to separate the free end from the vine. In addition, an elastic sandwiching member 3c is arranged between the contact piece 3b and the vine 2, and is attached to the end of the vine 2 so as to be able to move by friction.

With this configuration, when wearing the spectacles, the spectacles can be groped and hanged without worrying about the left-right and up-down relationship of the lens 1b.
Since the bases of both the contact pieces 3b are widely opened sideways, the base of the contact piece 3b can be advanced to the temple portion with little resistance when wearing spectacles. The eyeglasses are elastically pressed against the temples to hold the glasses. Therefore, you can easily remove the glasses by holding the vine base with one fingertip,
It is convenient to apply to near glasses, such as reading glasses, which are frequently worn off. In this embodiment, both the elasticity of the contact piece 3b and the elastic holding member 3c act synergistically to be pressed against the temple.
It is also possible to eliminate the elastic holding member 3c by appropriately setting the elasticity of b itself. Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, an attachment hole 5 may be provided on the back of the contact piece 3b so that the attachment position can be finely adjusted at the end of the vine. Further, the contact piece 3b and the elastic sandwiching member 3
Since c can be of substantially the same form, FIG.
