Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an eyeglass frame, and more particularly, to an eyeglass frame that can be used for multiple purposes.

In recent years, with the development of civilization's conveniences, the number of civilization's conveniences, such as small tools used in daily life for human power, has increased to an overwhelming number.

For example, the radio is the quickest way to obtain familiar information, and many people carry this with them and try to obtain the information they need wherever they go.

This portable radio is usually stored in the breast pocket of a jacket or shirt, and earphones are inserted into the ear holes to listen to the radio sound.

In addition, hearing aids, which were developed to compensate for the deficiencies of hearing-impaired people, are similar to portable radios, in that they collect and amplify sound using a main unit housed in a chest pocket, and transmit the sound to the user through earphones. can now be heard.

In the case of portable radios and hearing aids, the main unit R is placed in a chest pocket, etc., and the thin earphone cord K runs along the chest and shoulder to the earphone E in the ear, which can be a nuisance for the listener. (Figure 1).

Therefore, this idea incorporates the aforementioned radio or hearing aid into the glasses that many Japanese people use, or more specifically, into the frames that make up the glasses. The aim is to improve the user's convenience by making the cords shorter and eliminating the need for cords.In addition to simply incorporating radios and hearing aids into eyeglass frames, it is also possible to By replacing the parts, it can be used as either a hearing aid or a radio.

The details of this invention will be explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings from FIG. 2 onwards.

First, in Figures 2 and below, reference numeral 1 denotes a lens frame constituting an eyeglass frame, and temple frames 2 are hinged to both ends of the lens frame 1 with screws or the like, and are rotated toward the lens frame 1 side. It can be folded up.

This temple frame 2 includes a fixed frame 21 hinged to the lens frame 1, and this fixed frame 2.
The exchange frame 23 is detachably connected to the exchange frame 1 by a joint 22.

The joint 22 includes a female joint 22a having an opening on the end face of the fixed frame 21, and a male joint 22b projecting from the end face of the exchange frame 23 and capable of fitting into the female joint 22a.

The replacement frames 23 that can be kept connected using the joints 22 are those that are simply a frame (Fig. 2A), those with a built-in radio (Fig. 2B), and those with a built-in hearing aid (Fig. 2C). ) will be prepared.

A replacement frame 23 with a built-in radio is equipped with a radio main body 24 in a space within the frame, and has a tuning heir 25 and a porium button 26 which also serves as a switch on the outside of the frame.

An earphone cord 27 extends from the radio main body 24, and an earphone 28 is connected to the tip of the earphone cord 27. It has an added length.

An exchange frame 23 with a built-in hearing aid has a hearing aid body 24a instead of a radio body, and has a microphone 25a, a volume knob 26a, etc. on the outside of the frame, and an earphone 28 is connected to an earphone cord 27.

Similar to the case of the radio, this earphone cord 27 is designed to have a sufficient distance from the hearing aid main body 24a to the ear.

Since the eyeglass frame of this invention has the above-described configuration, its function can be changed by selecting the type of exchange frame 23 to be connected to the fixed frame 21.

That is, by connecting the replacement frame 23 with a built-in radio to the fixed frame 21 with the joint 22, glasses with a radio can be obtained, and the user can enjoy broadcasting through the earphones 28.

Furthermore, in the case of a person with a hearing impairment, the replacement frame can be replaced with one built into a hearing aid, and the earphones 28 can produce sounds that appeal to the sense of hearing.

In either case, the earphone cord 27 extends to the user's chest, which does not interfere with the user's movements (
Figure 3).

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the eyeglass frame of this invention, the temple frame attached to the lens frame is composed of a fixed frame and an exchangeable frame, so that the fixed frame has a built-in radio. Or, by connecting replacement frames according to the purpose of use, such as those with built-in hearing aids, you can create a radio or glasses frame that is convenient for carrying hearing aids, and an earphone cord that transmits signals to the earphones. Since it is short, it has the advantage that it does not get in the way.
