Description

Temple of the Temple {EYEGLASS TEMPLE ASSEMBLY}

The present invention relates to a temple assembly, and more particularly, a temple that is configured to significantly improve operability and wearability compared to conventional temples by differentiating the configuration of temples that operate by being coupled to both sides of a lens frame of glasses. It's about assembly.

BACKGROUND ART In general, glasses are configured to correct vision, protect eyes, or use for fashion purposes, and include a spectacle frame designed to be worn on the user's face, and a lens assembled to the spectacle frame.

There are metal frames and plastic frames for eyeglass frames depending on the material. The metal frame is made of a material such as titanium, nickel-chromium, or stainless steel, or gold or platinum is plated on an alloy, which is the main material. The metal frame has the advantages of high hardness and strength, but has the disadvantage of being heavy and low workability compared to the plastic frame.

Plastic frames are manufactured by injection molding thermoplastic resins such as celluloid, acetate, and epoxy resins using a mold. Plastic frames are lightweight compared to metal frames, have excellent workability, and are easy to diversify in designs.

This spectacle frame is a spectacle leg on a lens frame consisting of both rims to which the lens is assembled, a bridge for attaching a nose pad that supports the user's nose while connecting between the rims, and an end piece that forms a hinge structure on both sides of the rim. It is made to fit over the user's ear by combining them.

The temples are hinged to both end pieces of the lens frame to be folded. Looking at the hinge and the operating structure of the temples with reference to conventionally known techniques, as an example, in Korea Utility Model No. 20-0201647, the coupling part of the male hinge and the female hinge on both sides connected to the spectacle frame and lens is formed in a folded structure. There is a hinge formed to protrude the center of one surface of the coupling part of the male hinge to form a fitting protrusion, and correspondingly, a fastening groove is formed in the coupling part of the female hinge to vertically penetrate these coupling parts in a state where they are fitted with each other. It constitutes a hinge fastening structure of glasses that is fastened to the pin fastening hole so as to be foldable as a hinge pin.

As another example, in Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0201649, a female hinge member and a male hinge member are press-molded with a thin stainless plate, but the female hinge member has a vertical curved surface in the center, and a hole or screw hole is formed on both sides of the vertical curved surface, respectively. By forming a circular bracket with an excitation, the bracket is bent at 90 degrees on the basis of the vertical curved surface, and the press-formed male hinge member forms a hole in each of the symmetrically connected circular first and second inserts, and folds the connecting part. And, the outer end is bent outwardly at 90 degrees to constitute a hinge of glasses forming a vertical bent piece.

On the other hand, Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0217496 discloses, in an eyeglass frame provided with a spring hinge, a hinge body for pivotally connecting the temple to the rim while having a gap between the base end of the temple and the tip of the rim connected thereto; an elastic member, an elastic member receiving portion having an opening formed outside of the base end of the temple in communication with the outer end surface, receiving the elastic member, and the side of the opening functions as a guide member; a cover slidably supported by the guide member and having a contact surface for the resilient member on a surface opposite the opening such that an outer end surface of the cover on the proximal end side in the temple posture in the normal use position contacts the tip of the rim; , A stopper for preventing the cover from sliding out toward the base end of the temple, wherein the elastic member is provided with a spring hinge accommodated in a compressed state between the front end side in the elastic member receiving portion and the contact surface of the cover make up glasses

Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20 - 0201647 (2000.11.01) Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20 - 0201649 (2000.11.01) Korean Patent Registration No. 10 - 0217496 (199.09.01) Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20 - 0217299 (2001.03.15)

The temples to which the prior art as described above are applied are configured in a form that can be folded in a 90 degree angle range by being hinged to the lens frame.

However, in the prior art spectacle leg operation structure, depending on the user's face shape, the spectacle leg presses the side of the ear to cause pain, or conversely, problems such as flowing down of the spectacles occur, significantly reducing the fit when worn for a long time. There is a downside to doing it.

Due to the above problems, in another prior art, an additional configuration for mounting a tension spring or a leaf spring is mounted on the coupling portion of the lens frame and the temple, so that when the temple is deployed from the lens frame, a larger angle elastically to the outside It is constructed in a form in which the legs are unfolded.

However, the prior art spectacle frame having a spring hinge has a disadvantage in that the internal structure of the hinge body to be additionally mounted is complicated, so manufacturing and maintenance are low, and the weight of the spectacle frame is increased.

In addition, the prior art spectacle frame is made of a structure in which the spring built into the hinge body is simply contracted and relaxed from the outside in the unfolding direction of the temple on the coaxial line with the temple, so that it cannot be elastically controlled during the folding operation of the temple. There is a problem.

Accordingly, the present invention was invented to solve the problems of the prior art as described above,

A first operation module 121 integrally formed with the tip of the temple coupling part 120 and provided by hinged coupling to the fixing module 111, and;

A second operation module 130 provided to form an operation shaft by assembling the fixed module 111 and the first operation module 121 together, and to rotate integrally with the first operation module 121;

A torsion spring (140) provided with the fixing module (111) and the second operation module (130) assembling the upper and lower ends respectively to provide rotational torque to the second operation module (130) from the fixed module (111) including,

The first operation module 121 and the second operation module 130 are folded and unfolded in an operation range of 0 to 120 degrees from the lens frame as a starting point, but provided with an elastic force in the folding direction,

The torsion spring 140 has a plurality of different torques and is configured to selectively assemble according to the user's face shape, thereby achieving the purpose of remarkably improving operability and fit compared to the conventional temples.

The present invention provides a temple assembly configured to significantly improve operability and wearability by differentiating the structure of the legs coupled to both sides of the lens frame of glasses from the prior art.

The present invention provides a feeling of pressure around the user's ear or the legs are spread apart like the conventional right angle folding of the temples by configuring the operating angle to be elastically within the range of 120 degrees when folding and unfolding the temples from the lens frame. There is an advantage in that it is possible to exclude problems such as the dripping.

In particular, since the temple assembly of the present invention can individually apply the folding and unfolding torques of the temples according to the user's face shape, it is possible to provide an optimal fit, and when the user takes off the glasses, the temples are folded and stored in the case. There is an effect that the glasses legs can be conveniently folded even when stored.

In addition, there is an advantage that the eyewear store can provide satisfaction while remarkably shortening the fitting time for glasses to the user.
