Description

本発明は、リムロック構造、特に合口を有する薄板状のフレームを備える眼鏡に用いられて好適な眼鏡フレームのリムロック構造及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a rim lock structure, and more particularly to a rim lock structure for a spectacle frame suitable for use in spectacles having a thin plate-like frame having a joint, and a method for manufacturing the same.

最近、眼鏡フレームとして、フロントフレームを薄い金属プレートで作成し、レンズの側面に形成した溝内にプレートの端縁を係合させてレンズを保持するようにした眼鏡の形態が増えてきている。その理由は、この形態の眼鏡が軽量で、耐久性、並びにデザイン性に優れていること、及び近年の加工技術として、レーザー加工やNC加工が発達したため、眼鏡フレームを色々な形状に加工するのが可能となったためでもある。しかし、眼鏡フレームの加工が容易にできるようになったとはいえ、眼鏡フレームにレンズを装着し、締め付け保持するためには、従来の眼鏡フレームに用いられているようなリムロック構造を用いるのが一般的である。   Recently, as a spectacle frame, a form of spectacles in which a front frame is made of a thin metal plate and a lens is held by engaging an edge of the plate in a groove formed on a side surface of the lens is increasing. The reason is that this type of spectacles is lightweight, has excellent durability and design, and as laser processing and NC processing have been developed as recent processing technologies, the spectacle frame is processed into various shapes. It is also because it became possible. However, although it is now possible to easily process the spectacle frame, it is common to use a rim lock structure as used in conventional spectacle frames in order to attach and tighten the lens to the spectacle frame. Is.

かかる従来のリムロック構造では、眼鏡フレームの合口が形成されている上側リムと下側リムの端部に、ねじ孔がそれぞれ穿設された上部リムロック部品と下部リムロック部品とがロウ付けによりそれぞれ取り付けられている。そして、眼鏡フレームにレンズが装着された後に、これらの上部リムロック部品及び下部リムロック部品のねじ孔にねじが螺着されることで、上部リムロック部品及び下部リムロック部品が締結されるようにされている。例えば、特許文献1参照。   In such a conventional rim lock structure, an upper rim lock component and a lower rim lock component each having a screw hole are attached to the end portions of the upper rim and the lower rim where the eyeglass frame joint is formed by brazing. ing. Then, after the lens is mounted on the spectacle frame, the upper rim lock part and the lower rim lock part are fastened by screwing screws into the screw holes of the upper rim lock part and the lower rim lock part. . For example, see Patent Document 1.

ここで、図2の(A2)に示すように、フレーム本体部120Bは、左右一対の上側リム120U及び下側リム120Lを有し、上側リム120Uと下側リム120Lの左右端における上下方向の端部間に所定の距離dだけ離された合口120Sが形成されている。一方、リムロック構造部130Bは、上側リム120U及び下側リム120Lの左右の両端部からそれぞれ側方に平行に延在して形成された上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lを有している。なお、本実施の形態では、上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lのそれぞれ向かい合う側面に凹部が形成されている。これは、後述するように、眼鏡の組立の際に合口120Sの間の距離がゼロにされる、延いては上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lのそれぞれ向かい合う側面が突き合わされるときの、係合状態を良好にするためである。   Here, as shown in FIG. 2A2, the frame main body 120B has a pair of left and right upper rims 120U and lower rim 120L. An abutment 120S is formed between the end portions separated by a predetermined distance d. On the other hand, the rim lock structure portion 130B includes an upper protruding piece 131U and a lower protruding piece 131L formed to extend in parallel from the left and right ends of the upper rim 120U and the lower rim 120L, respectively. ing. In the present embodiment, concave portions are formed on the side surfaces of the upper protruding piece 131U and the lower protruding piece 131L that face each other. This is because, as will be described later, when the glasses are assembled, the distance between the abutment 120S is made zero, and the side surfaces of the upper protruding piece 131U and the lower protruding piece 131L face each other. This is to improve the engagement state.

また、リムロック構造部130Bは、上側突片部131Uに対して隙間を介在させて平行に、上側リム120Uの端部から側方に延在して形成された連結片部132と、さらに連結片部132に連続して形成されたほぼ矩形状のヨロイ取り付け部133とを有している。さらに、リムロック構造部130Bは、下側突片部131Lに対して隙間を介在させて平行に下側リム120Lの端部から側方に延在して形成され、矩形状のヨロイ取り付け部133の下端部に、先端の上端部が連続されている係合片部134を有している。なお、矩形状のヨロイ取り付け部133の下方の内端部には、係合片部134の上下方向幅にほぼ等しい上下方向幅を有する切り欠き135が形成され、これらの上下方向幅は、前述した合口120Sの離間された所定の距離dにほぼ等しくされている。   The rim lock structure portion 130B includes a connecting piece 132 formed to extend from the end of the upper rim 120U to the side in parallel with a gap with respect to the upper protruding piece 131U, and a connecting piece. And a substantially rectangular yolo mounting portion 133 formed continuously with the portion 132. Further, the rim lock structure portion 130B is formed to extend laterally from the end of the lower rim 120L in parallel to the lower projecting piece portion 131L with a gap interposed therebetween. At the lower end portion, there is an engagement piece portion 134 in which the upper end portion at the tip is continuous. A notch 135 having a vertical width substantially equal to the vertical width of the engagement piece 134 is formed at the lower inner end of the rectangular armor attachment portion 133. These vertical widths are the same as those described above. The predetermined distance d of the joint 120S is substantially equal.

次に、上述の切り抜き工程を経た、リムロック構造部130Bに連なるフレーム本体部120Bには、図2の(B1)に示すように、ブリッジ対応部140Bや鼻パッド対応部150Bの曲げ、及びレンズカーブに沿う曲げ等を含む、フレーム本体部120Bに所定の曲がり形状を付与する曲げ加工が施される。   Next, the frame main body portion 120B connected to the rim lock structure portion 130B that has undergone the above-described cutting process is bent and lens curves corresponding to the bridge corresponding portion 140B and the nose pad corresponding portion 150B as shown in FIG.

さらに、フレーム本体部120Bの曲げ工程に続いて、図2の(C1)及び(C2)に示すように、リムロック構造部130Bに後述する所定の曲がり形状を付与するリムロック構造部130Bの曲げ工程が実行される。このリムロック構造部130Bの曲げ工程は、連結片部132とヨロイ取り付け部133との間に第1のU字状折り曲げ部132A(図3参照)、係合片部134の途中に第2のU字状折り曲げ部134A(図3参照)をそれぞれ同時に形成すること、及び矩形状のヨロイ取り付け部133に対向する第1の板状脚部133A及び第2の板状脚部133Bを形成するように、その中央部に第3のU字状折り曲げ部133C(図3参照)を形成することを含んでいる。このように、第1のU字状折り曲げ部132Aと第2のU字状折り曲げ部134Aとを同時に形成することにより、図2の(C2)に示すように、リムロック構造部130Bの左右の端部がそれぞれ直線上に整列されるので、美観上好ましい。   Further, following the bending process of the frame main body 120B, as shown in FIGS. 2C1 and 2C2, there is a bending process of the rim lock structure 130B that gives the rim lock structure 130B a predetermined bent shape, which will be described later. Executed. In the bending process of the rim lock structure portion 130B, a first U-shaped bent portion 132A (see FIG. 3) is provided between the connecting piece portion 132 and the armor attaching portion 133, and a second U-shaped portion is provided in the middle of the engaging piece portion 134. The letter-shaped bent part 134A (see FIG. 3) is formed at the same time, and the first plate-like leg part 133A and the second plate-like leg part 133B facing the rectangular armor attaching part 133 are formed. , Forming a third U-shaped bent portion 133C (see FIG. 3) at the center thereof. In this way, by forming the first U-shaped bent portion 132A and the second U-shaped bent portion 134A at the same time, as shown in FIG. 2C2, the left and right ends of the rim lock structure portion 130B. Since the parts are aligned on a straight line, it is preferable from an aesthetic point of view.

そして、リムロック構造部130Bの曲げ工程が実行された後には、図2(D)のに示す(実際には曲がりを伴うが、理解の容易化のために展開された状態で示す)ように、リムロック構造部130Bの上下を切り離す切り離し工程が実行される。すなわち、ヨロイ取り付け部133の下端部に連続されている係合片部134の先端上端部が、レーザー加工機を用いて、切り離されるのである。   Then, after the bending process of the rim lock structure portion 130B is executed, as shown in FIG. 2D (actually accompanied by bending, but shown in a developed state for easy understanding), A separation process for separating the top and bottom of the rim lock structure portion 130B is performed. That is, the upper end of the tip of the engagement piece 134 that is continuous with the lower end of the armor attachment 133 is separated using a laser processing machine.

なお、上述の切り離し工程の後には、図2には示されないが、リムロック構造部130Bのヨロイ取り付け部133に、中央部の第3のU字状折り曲げ部133Cを介して形成された対向する第1の板状脚部133A及び第2の板状脚部133Bにヨロイ取り付け孔136A及び136B(図5B参照)を穿つ穿孔工程が実行される。   Although not shown in FIG. 2 after the above-described detaching step, the first rim-lock structure portion 130B of the rim-lock structure portion 130B is opposed to the end portion formed through the third U-shaped bent portion 133C at the center portion. A drilling step is performed in which the Yoleloy mounting holes 136A and 136B (see FIG. 5B) are made in the first plate-like leg portion 133A and the second plate-like leg portion 133B.

上述のようにして製作される本実施形態の眼鏡フレームのリムロック構造は、さらに、図4に示すように、上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lの突合せ状態においてこれらに嵌められ、両者を少なくとも部分的に囲包して連結する連結部材137を備えている。連結部材137は、上述の材料と同じβ型チタン合金などの平坦な金属薄板から、両側に耳部を有する形態の十字架状に切り抜かれた後、該耳部がU字状に折り曲げられて形成された係合部137Aと、外側端が後方に湾曲された湾曲部137Bとを有している。   As shown in FIG. 4, the rim lock structure of the eyeglass frame of the present embodiment manufactured as described above is further fitted to the upper projecting piece 131U and the lower projecting piece 131L in the butted state. Is provided with a connecting member 137 for enclosing and connecting at least partially. The connecting member 137 is formed by cutting out a flat metal sheet made of the same β-type titanium alloy as the above-described material into a cross shape having ears on both sides, and then bending the ears into a U shape. The engaging portion 137A is formed, and a curved portion 137B whose outer end is bent backward is provided.

さらに、本実施形態の眼鏡フレームのリムロック構造は、連結部材137の抜け落ち防止手段としても機能する、図5A及び図6に示すようなヨロイ160を備えている。当該ヨロイ160は、ニッケルチタン合金、β型チタン合金などの弾性線材から形成され、第1のU字状湾曲部160Aとこれに連なる第2のU字状湾曲部160Bとを有している。そして、第1のU字状湾曲部160Aは、ヨロイ取り付け孔136A及び136Bに挿通される第1脚部160A1とこれに平行する第2脚部160A2とに連続し、第2脚部160A2は、さらに第2のU字状湾曲部160Bの第1脚部160B1に連続している。すなわち、本実施の形態では、第1のU字状湾曲部160Aの第2脚部160A2と第2のU字状湾曲部160Bの第1脚部160B1とは共通している。また、第2のU字状湾曲部160Bは、上述の第1脚部160B1とこれに平行する第2脚部160B2とにそれぞれ連続している。そして、第1のU字状湾曲部160A、第1脚部160A1及び第2脚部160A2で形成される平面と、第2のU字状湾曲部160B、第1脚部160B1及び第2脚部160B2で形成される平面とが、互いに直交する関係で形成されている。なお、第2のU字状湾曲部160Bの第2脚部160B2は、さらに丁番用のねじ孔165Aが形成されている丁番部165に連続されている。   Furthermore, the rim lock structure of the spectacle frame of the present embodiment includes the armor 160 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 6 that also functions as a means for preventing the connecting member 137 from falling off. The alloy 160 is made of an elastic wire such as nickel titanium alloy or β-type titanium alloy, and has a first U-shaped curved portion 160A and a second U-shaped curved portion 160B connected to the first U-shaped curved portion 160B. The first U-shaped curved portion 160A is continuous with the first leg portion 160A1 inserted through the armor mounting holes 136A and 136B and the second leg portion 160A2 parallel thereto, and the second leg portion 160A2 is Furthermore, it continues to the first leg 160B1 of the second U-shaped curved portion 160B. That is, in the present embodiment, the second leg portion 160A2 of the first U-shaped curved portion 160A and the first leg portion 160B1 of the second U-shaped curved portion 160B are common. Further, the second U-shaped curved portion 160B is continuous with the above-described first leg portion 160B1 and the second leg portion 160B2 parallel thereto. The plane formed by the first U-shaped curved portion 160A, the first leg portion 160A1, and the second leg portion 160A2, the second U-shaped curved portion 160B, the first leg portion 160B1, and the second leg portion. The plane formed by 160B2 is formed so as to be orthogonal to each other. The second leg 160B2 of the second U-shaped curved portion 160B is further continuous with a hinge portion 165 in which a hinge screw hole 165A is formed.

本発明の上記実施形態にあっては、次の手順により眼鏡100が組立られて完成されることになる。まず、図3に示すように、眼鏡フレーム本体部120Bの合口120Sが開かれた状態で、レンズ110が上側リム120Uと下側リム120Lとの間に挿入され、そして、下側リム120Lが矢印Aの方向に移動され、図4に示すように、合口120Sが閉じられる。これにより、レンズ110の側面に形成されている溝110A内に上側リム120U及び下側リム120Lの端縁が係合され、レンズ110が眼鏡フレーム本体部120Bに保持される。同時に、リムロック構造部130Bの上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lのそれぞれ向かい合う側面が突き合わされると共に、係合片部134の第2のU字状折り曲げ部134Aの一端部がヨロイ取り付け部133の第1の板状脚部133Aに係合される。なお、このとき、前述したように、ヨロイ取り付け部133の第1の板状脚部133Aに、係合片部134の上下方向幅にほぼ等しい切り欠き135が形成されている実施形態の場合には、上述のヨロイ取り付け部133と係合片部134との係合の際に、係合片部134の一端部の一部がこの切り欠き135に嵌り込む形態で係合されるので、ヨロイ取り付け部133と係合片部134とが強固に連結されることになる。また、係合片部134及び切り欠き135の上下方向幅が、合口120Sの離間された所定の距離dにほぼ等しい実施形態の場合には、係合片部134が切り欠き135にぴったりと嵌り込むので、デザイン的に優れたものとなる。   In the above embodiment of the present invention, the eyeglasses 100 are assembled and completed by the following procedure. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the lens 110 is inserted between the upper rim 120U and the lower rim 120L with the joint 120S of the spectacle frame main body 120B being opened, and the lower rim 120L is moved to an arrow. Moving in the direction of A, the joint 120S is closed as shown in FIG. Accordingly, the edges of the upper rim 120U and the lower rim 120L are engaged in the groove 110A formed on the side surface of the lens 110, and the lens 110 is held by the spectacle frame main body 120B. At the same time, the opposite side surfaces of the upper protruding piece 131U and the lower protruding piece 131L of the rim lock structure portion 130B are abutted with each other, and one end of the second U-shaped bent portion 134A of the engaging piece 134 is attached to the armature. The first plate-like leg portion 133 </ b> A of the portion 133 is engaged. At this time, as described above, in the case of the embodiment in which the notch 135 substantially equal to the vertical width of the engagement piece portion 134 is formed in the first plate-like leg portion 133A of the end fitting attachment portion 133. Is engaged in a form in which a part of one end of the engagement piece 134 is fitted into the notch 135 at the time of engagement between the above-described attachment attachment portion 133 and the engagement piece portion 134. The attachment part 133 and the engagement piece part 134 are firmly connected. In the embodiment in which the vertical widths of the engagement piece 134 and the notch 135 are substantially equal to the predetermined distance d apart from the joint 120S, the engagement piece 134 fits into the notch 135 exactly. Therefore, it is excellent in design.

次に、図4に示すように、合口120Sが閉じられた後、連結部材137がリムロック構造部130Bの上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lに対して矢印B方向に滑らせつつ嵌合される。詳しくは、それぞれの向かい合う側面が突き合わされた係合状態にある上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lの両者を連結部材137の係合部137Aが少なくとも部分的に囲包して、上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lを連結することになる。なお、この連結部材137の嵌合状態では、図5A及び図5Bに示すように、連結部材137の外側端の湾曲部137Bによって、ヨロイ取り付け部133の第1の板状脚部133Aの端面、及び対向する第1の板状脚部133A及び第2の板状脚部133Bの間の隙間が覆われるので、美観が損なわれるのを防止している。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4, after the joint 120S is closed, the connecting member 137 is fitted while sliding in the arrow B direction with respect to the upper protruding piece 131U and the lower protruding piece 131L of the rim lock structure portion 130B. Combined. Specifically, the engaging portion 137A of the connecting member 137 at least partially surrounds both the upper protruding piece portion 131U and the lower protruding piece portion 131L in the engaged state in which the opposite side surfaces are abutted, and The protruding piece 131U and the lower protruding piece 131L are connected. In the fitting state of the connecting member 137, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the end surface of the first plate-like leg portion 133A of the armor attaching portion 133 is formed by the curved portion 137B of the outer end of the connecting member 137. And since the clearance gap between 133 A of 1st plate-shaped leg parts and the 2nd plate-shaped leg part 133B which opposes is covered, it prevents that the beauty | look is impaired.

そこで、かかる連結部材137の嵌合状態で、図5Aに示すように、抜け落ち防止手段としての機能を有するヨロイ160が取り付けられる。本実施の形態では、ヨロイ取り付け部133の対向する第1の板状脚部133A及び第2の板状脚部133Bに貫通して形成されたヨロイ取り付け孔136A及び136Bに、まず樹脂製の弾性チューブ138が挿着され、この弾性チューブ138に対してヨロイ160の第1のU字状湾曲部160Aに連続している第1脚部160A1が挿通される。かくて、ヨロイ160のヨロイ取り付け部133への取り付け状態では、図6に示すように、ヨロイ160の第2のU字状湾曲部160Bが連結部材137の外側端の湾曲部137Bに当接すると共に、第1脚部160B1は連結片部132とヨロイ取り付け部133との間に形成された第1のU字状折り曲げ部133Aに、そして、第2脚部160B2は係合片部134の途中に形成された第2のU字状折り曲げ部134Aに当接する。これにより、連結部材137は、その湾曲部137Bが弾性線材で形成されたヨロイ160の第2のU字状湾曲部160Bで押圧されるので、その脱落が防止される。   Therefore, in the fitted state of the connecting member 137, as shown in FIG. 5A, the armor 160 having a function as a drop-off preventing means is attached. In the present embodiment, first of all, the resin-made elastic holes 136A and 136B are formed through the first plate-like leg portion 133A and the second plate-like leg portion 133B that are opposed to each other. The tube 138 is inserted, and the first leg 160A1 continuous with the first U-shaped curved portion 160A of the armor 160 is inserted into the elastic tube 138. Thus, when the armor 160 is attached to the armor mounting part 133, the second U-shaped curved part 160B of the armor 160 is in contact with the curved part 137B at the outer end of the connecting member 137 as shown in FIG. The first leg 160B1 is in the first U-shaped bent part 133A formed between the connecting piece 132 and the armor attaching part 133, and the second leg 160B2 is in the middle of the engaging piece 134. It abuts against the formed second U-shaped bent portion 134A. Thereby, since the bending part 137B is pressed by the 2nd U-shaped bending part 160B of the armor 160 formed with the elastic wire, the connection member 137 is prevented from dropping off.

このように本実施の形態によれば、単に、連結部材137を合口120Sが閉じられて係合状態にある上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lに対して嵌合するのみでリムロック状態を得ることができる。そして、ヨロイ160の第1脚部160A1を、弾性チューブ138を介在させた状態でヨロイ取り付け孔136A及び136Bに挿通するのみで、ヨロイ160の取り付け、及び連結部材137の脱落を防止することができる。しかも、連結部材137の外側端の湾曲部137Bによって、ヨロイ取り付け部133の第1の板状脚部133Aの端面、及び対向する第1の板状脚部133A及び第2の板状脚部133Bの間の隙間が外部からは見えないので、ファッション性に優れた眼鏡フレームのリムロック構造を得ることができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the connecting member 137 is simply engaged with the upper protruding piece 131U and the lower protruding piece 131L in the engaged state with the joint 120S closed, and the rim is locked. Can be obtained. Then, by simply inserting the first leg 160A1 of the armor 160 into the armor mounting holes 136A and 136B with the elastic tube 138 interposed, it is possible to prevent the armor 160 from being attached and the connecting member 137 from falling off. . Moreover, the end surface of the first plate-like leg portion 133A of the armor attachment portion 133, and the first plate-like leg portion 133A and the second plate-like leg portion 133B facing each other by the curved portion 137B at the outer end of the connecting member 137. Since the gap between the two cannot be seen from the outside, it is possible to obtain a rim lock structure for a spectacle frame having excellent fashionability.

一方、レンズ110などを交換する必要があるときには、上述の組立手順の場合と逆に行えばよい。   On the other hand, when it is necessary to replace the lens 110 or the like, it may be performed in the reverse of the assembly procedure described above.

なお、ヨロイとして、上述のような抜け落ち防止機能を有さないヨロイを用いることも可能であり、この場合を本発明の他の実施形態として、図7Aないし図7Cを参照して説明する。この他の実施形態は、連結部材137及びヨロイ取り付け部133に若干の修正が加えられた点において、前実施形態と異なるのみであるから、同一又は同一機能部位については前実施形態と同一の符号を用いて重複説明を避け、異なる点につき以下説明する。   It is also possible to use an armor that does not have the above-described drop-off prevention function as the armor, and this case will be described as another embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7C. This other embodiment is different from the previous embodiment only in that the connecting member 137 and the armor attachment part 133 are slightly modified. Therefore, the same or the same function parts are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the previous embodiment. A description will be given below of the different points by avoiding redundant explanations.

すなわち、この他の実施形態では、図7Bに示すように、両側に係合部137Aを有する連結部材137の外端側にU字状の折り曲げ部137Cが形成されると共に、その端部近傍に棒状の突部137Dが形成されている。また、ヨロイ取り付け部133には、図7A及び図7Bに示すように、その第1の板状脚部133Aに突部137Dが係合可能な長孔ないしは凹部133Dが形成されている。   That is, in this other embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7B, a U-shaped bent portion 137C is formed on the outer end side of the connecting member 137 having engaging portions 137A on both sides, and in the vicinity of the end portion. A rod-shaped protrusion 137D is formed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the end fitting attachment portion 133 is formed with a long hole or a recess 133D in which the protrusion 137D can be engaged with the first plate-like leg portion 133A.

この他の実施形態にあっても、前述と同様の手順により眼鏡100が組立られて完成されることになる。すなわち、図7Aに示すように、眼鏡フレーム本体部120Bの合口120Sが開かれた状態でレンズ110が上側リム120Uと下側リム120Lとの間に挿入され、そして、下側リム120Lが矢印Aの方向に移動され、図7Bに示すように、合口120Sが閉じられる。そして、この合口120Sが閉じられた状態で、連結部材137がリムロック構造部130Bの上側突片部131U及び下側突片部131Lに対して矢印B方向に滑らせつつ嵌合される。さらに、図7Cに示す位置まで連結部材137が進められると、連結部材137の端部近傍に形成された棒状の突部137Dが第1の板状脚部133Aに形成された長孔ないしは凹部133Dに係合され、連結部材137の抜け落ちが防止されるのである。なお、この抜け落ち防止手段を備えた他の実施形態は、前実施形態に用いたヨロイ160と共に用いてもよいことはいうまでもない。   Even in the other embodiments, the glasses 100 are assembled and completed by the same procedure as described above. That is, as shown in FIG. 7A, the lens 110 is inserted between the upper rim 120U and the lower rim 120L with the joint 120S of the spectacle frame main body 120B being opened, and the lower rim 120L is moved to the arrow A. The joint 120S is closed as shown in FIG. 7B. Then, in a state in which the joint 120S is closed, the connecting member 137 is fitted while sliding in the arrow B direction with respect to the upper protruding piece 131U and the lower protruding piece 131L of the rim lock structure portion 130B. Further, when the connecting member 137 is advanced to the position shown in FIG. 7C, a rod-like protrusion 137D formed in the vicinity of the end of the connecting member 137 is a long hole or recess 133D formed in the first plate-like leg portion 133A. The connecting member 137 is prevented from falling off. In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that other embodiment provided with this drop-off prevention means may be used with the alloy 160 used in the previous embodiment.
