Description
본 발명은 안경의 다리와 전면테간에 용착시켜 사용하는 안경용 절첩힌지에 관한 것으로 좀더 상세히는 안경의 보관을 위해 다리가 내측으로 절첩될 수 있도록 함과 아울러 안경의 사용을 위해 다리를 펼쳤을 시에는 외측으로 벌어지는 압에 대해서 적당한 탄성을 유지하며 원복력을 발휘할 수 있도록 고안된 안경용 절첩힌지에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a folding hinge for glasses used by welding to the legs and the front frame of the glasses in more detail so that the legs can be folded inward for the storage of the glasses and when the legs are extended for the use of the glasses The present invention relates to a folding hinge for eyeglasses designed to maintain proper elasticity against pressure, thereby exerting a restoring force.
통상의 안경은 그 보관을 위해 안경다리와 전면테간에 절첩힌지를 용착하여 안경다리를 내측으로 절첩시킬 수 있도록 구성하고 있으며, 상기 절첩힌지는 안경다리의 절첩에만 이용되는 것이 보편적이었다. 그러나, 좀더 고급스러운 안경이나 수출용 안경의 80%이상을 차지하고 있는 안경의 경우에는 그 장착을 위해 펼친 안경다리에 외측으로 벌어지는 압이 발생되면 안경다리가 소정의 탄성을 갖으며 내측으로 복귀하려는 원복력을 발휘하도록 구성하고 있다. 상기와 같이 안경다리에 소정의 탄성을 갖는 원복력을 부여하기 위해서는 전면테와 안경다리간에 용착되는 절첩힌지에 원복스프링을 탄설시킬 수 밖에 없다.Conventional glasses are configured to weld the folded hinge between the pair of glasses and the front frame for storage, so that the folded pair can be folded inward, and the folded pair is generally used only for folding the pair of glasses. However, in the case of more luxurious glasses or glasses that occupy more than 80% of the export glasses, when the outward pressure is generated on the glasses legs spread for installation, the glasses legs have a certain elasticity and return to the inside. It is configured to exert. As described above, in order to impart a restoring force having a predetermined elasticity to the spectacles legs, there is no choice but to enclose the sprinkling springs on the folded hinges welded between the front frame and the spectacles legs.
종래에는 별도로 제작되는 하우징을 안경다리에 용착시킨 다음, 위 하우징내에 스톱퍼 및 탄설가이드에 의해 원복스프링이 탄설되도록 한 절첩부재를 내삽시켜 고정하고, 위 절처부재에 체결된 힌지의 단부에 안경의 전면테를 용착시켜 펼쳐진 안경다리가 일정기준의 축선을 넘어 외측으로 벌어지려는 압이 발생하게 되면 소정탄성의 원복력을 발휘할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 상기와 같이 하우징의 용착과 원복스프링이 탄설된 절첩부재의 내삽을 별도로 진행하는 이유는 원복스프링이 하우징의 용착시 발생되는 열의 영향을 받아 제기능을 수행할 수 없도록 변형되는 것을 방지하기 위한 것이다.Conventionally, a separately manufactured housing is welded to a pair of glasses, and then an interlocking member for fastening the circular spring is installed by a stopper and a carbon guide in the upper housing, and then fixed, and the front end of the glasses is joined to the end of the hinge fastened to the upper cutting member It was configured to exert the elasticity of the predetermined elasticity when the pressure of the eyeglasses spread by welding the frame is to open to the outside beyond a certain standard axis. The reason why the welding of the housing and the insertion of the folding member in which the recovery spring is installed is separately carried out is to prevent the recovery spring from being deformed to perform its function under the influence of heat generated during welding of the housing.
상기와 같은 종래의 공정으로 절첩힌지를 조립할 시에는 각각의 공정이 별도로 이루어져야 하므로 공정에 소요되는 시간이 지나치게 많다는 문제점이 있었다. 그리고, 각각의 작업이 인력에 의해 이루어져야 하므로 인력의 손실이 많아 생산효율이 떨어질 뿐만 아니라 제조되는 안경의 단가가 비싸질 수 밖에 없었다. 또한 , 완성된 안경의 외관이 조악할 수 밖에 없다는 등의 다수의 문제점이 발생되고 있다.When assembling the folded hinge in the conventional process as described above there was a problem that the time required for the process is too much because each process must be made separately. In addition, since each work must be performed by manpower, there is a lot of manpower loss, which leads to a decrease in production efficiency as well as a high cost of manufactured glasses. In addition, a number of problems have arisen, such as the appearance of the finished eyeglasses is inevitably coarse.
상기한 바와 같은 다수의 문제점은 안경의 상품경쟁력을 저하시키는 직접적인 요인으로 작용하고 있는 바, 이들 문제점을 개선한 수단의 필요성이 절실하다.Many of the problems as described above act as a direct factor to reduce the product competitiveness of the glasses, there is an urgent need for means to improve these problems.
본 발명은 안경의 조립공정을 단순화시키고자 함에 주안점을 두어 개발한 것으로 하우징과 절첩부재를 일체로 형성시키므로서 그 조립이 매우 용이할 뿐만 아니라 완성되는 안경의 디자인을 매우 미려하게 마감할 수 있도록 발명된 안경용 절첩힌지를 제공한다.The present invention has been developed with a focus on simplifying the assembling process of the glasses, and by integrating the housing and the folding member, the assembly is very easy and the invention can be finished in a very beautiful fashion. A folded hinge for spectacles.

"도1"은 본 발명에 따른 절첩힌지의 일실시례를 도시한 사시도이다. 도시된 바를 통해 본 발명에 따른 절첩힌지(10)는 하우징(11)과 절첩부재(14)가 일체로 결합된 것임을 알 수 있다.1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a folded hinge according to the present invention. Through the bar shown in the folded hinge 10 according to the invention it can be seen that the housing 11 and the folding member 14 is integrally coupled.
"도2"는 본 발명에 따른 절첩힌지의 내부구조를 보인 단면도이다. 도시된 바와 같이 중공부(12)가 형성되도록 한 하우징(11)저부의 전.후영역에는 소정폭의 용착부(13)가 하향신장되며 돌출되도록 한다. 상기 하우징(11)의 중공부(12)내로 용착면(20A)과 접지면(20B)을 구비하는 힌지편(20)이 체결된 절첩부재(14)가 내삽되어진다. 상기 내삽되는 절첩부재(14)에는 로드(15)가 일체로 성형되며, 상기 로드(15)의 단부에는 탄설가이드(16)가 용착된다.상기 탄설가이드(16)사에 스톱퍼(17)와 원복스프링(18)을 순차적으로 결합시켜 탄설된 원복스프링(18)이 탄설가이드(16)의 단부에 결착되는 고정판(19)에 의해 고정될 수 있도록 한다. 상기와 같이 하우징(11)의 중공부(12)에 절첩부재(14)를 내삽시킨 상태에서 하우징(11)의 외부로부터 펀칭가공에 의한 펀칭홈 및 체결피스 등의 고정수단(21)을 체결시켜 탄성가이드(16)상에 결합된 스톱퍼(17)를 고정시키므로서 절첩부재(14)가 하우징(11)에 결착될 수 있도록 한다. 이때, 상기 고정수단(21)은 하우징(11)의 저부 즉 안경다리에 용착될 부위에 체결될 수 있도록 함이 바람직한데, 그 이유는 하우징(11)의 저부면이 안경다리에 용착되므로 고정수단(21)이 외관상으로 드러나지 않게끔 할 수 있기 때문이다.2 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the folding hinge according to the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the welded portion 13 having a predetermined width extends downward and protrudes in the front and rear regions of the bottom of the housing 11 to form the hollow portion 12. The folding member 14 to which the hinge piece 20 provided with the welding surface 20A and the ground surface 20B is inserted in the hollow part 12 of the housing 11 is inserted. The rod 15 is integrally formed on the interleaved folding member 14, and a coalescing guide 16 is welded to an end of the rod 15. A stopper 17 and a round cover are attached to the coalescing guide 16. The spring 18 is sequentially coupled so that the coalesced circular spring 18 may be fixed by the fixing plate 19 that is bound to the end of the coalescing guide 16. As described above, in the state in which the folding member 14 is inserted into the hollow part 12 of the housing 11, the fixing means 21, such as a punching groove and a fastening piece, are formed by punching from the outside of the housing 11. By holding the stopper 17 coupled to the elastic guide 16, the folding member 14 may be attached to the housing 11. At this time, the fixing means 21 is preferably to be fastened to the bottom of the housing 11, that is, the portion to be welded to the glasses legs, because the bottom surface of the housing 11 is welded to the glasses legs fixing means This is because (21) can be made invisible.
한편, 본 발명인 절첩장치(10)의 하우징(11)에 절첩부재(14)를 내삽시킬 시에 "도3"에 도시된 바와 같이 절첩부재(14)에 탄설되는 원복스프링(18)상에 보호캡(22)을 덧씌운 상태에서 절첩부재(14)를 내삽시키게 되면 하우징(11)을 안경다리에 용착시킬 때에 용접열이 원복스프링(18)에 영향을 미치게 되는 것을 더욱 현격하게 줄일 수있다.On the other hand, when inserting the folding member 14 into the housing 11 of the folding device 10 of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 3, the protection is provided on the one-piece spring 18 which is mounted on the folding member 14. By inserting the folding member 14 in the state in which the cap 22 is overlaid, it is possible to more significantly reduce the effect of the welding heat on the circular spring 18 when the housing 11 is welded to the glasses legs.
상기와 같은 구성을 갖는 본 발명은 "도4"에 도시된 바와 같이 안경의 전면테(23)에 힌지편(20)에 구비된 용착면(20A)이 용착될 수 있도록 하고, 안경다리(24)에 하우징(11)의 저부에 형성되는 용착부(13)가 용착될 수 있도록 하여 사용하는 것이다. 상기 하우징(11)의 용착과정에서 하우징(11)에 형성된 용착부(13)만을 안경디리(24)에 연접시켜 용착하므로 하우징(11)의 중공부(12)내에 탄설된 원복스프링(18)에는 용접에 따른 열의 전도를 최소화시킬 수 있어 용접열에 따른 변형을 방지할 수 있다. 상기와 같이 용착된 절첩힌지(10)는 안경의 보관할 시에는 "도5"의 (A)에 도시된 바와 같이 안경다리(24)를 내측으로 절첩시켜 줄 수 있는 것이다. 그리고, 안경의 사용을 위해 안경다리(24)를 펼쳤을 시에는 "도5"의 (B)에 도시된 바와 같이 힌지편(20)에 구비되는 접지면(20B)이 하우징(11)의 전면에 밀착되어 안경다리(24)가 기준선상의 상태를 유지하다가 외측으로 벌어지는 압이 발생하면 하우징(11)내에 탄설고정된 원복스프링(18)의 탄성에 의해 안경다리(24)에 기준선상으로 원복하려는 원복력이 발생되는 것이다.The present invention having the configuration as described above allows the welding surface 20A provided on the hinge piece 20 to be welded to the front frame 23 of the glasses as shown in FIG. ) To be welded to the bottom of the housing 11 to be welded. In the welding process of the housing 11, only the welding portion 13 formed on the housing 11 is welded to the eyeglass diary 24 so as to be welded to the circular spring 18 installed in the hollow portion 12 of the housing 11. Since the conduction of heat due to welding can be minimized, deformation due to heat of welding can be prevented. The folded hinge 10 welded as described above is able to fold the glasses legs 24 inward as shown in (A) of FIG. 5 when the glasses are stored. In addition, when the glasses legs 24 are unfolded for use of the glasses, the ground plane 20B provided on the hinge piece 20 is provided on the front surface of the housing 11 as shown in (B) of FIG. 5. When the contact is in close contact with the eyeglasses 24 while maintaining the state on the reference line, and the pressure is generated to the outside, the elasticity of the one-piece spring 18 fixed in the housing 11 causes the eyeglasses 24 to rest on the reference line. The resilience will be generated.
상술한 바와 같은 본 발명에 따른 절첩힌지는 하우징과 원복스프링 및 절첩부재, 힌지편 등의 구성요소를 일체화시킨 것으로 그 용착을 매우 용이하고 간단하게 할 수 있어 안경의 제조단가를 현격하게 절감시킬 수 있음은 물론 안경의 제조에 소요되는 시간을 대폭적으로 줄일 수 있는 것이다. 그리고 원복스프링이 탄설된 절첩부재를 하우징에 결착시켜 주기 위한 고정수단이 외관상으로 나타나지 않아 안경의 외관도 매우 미려하게 마감할 수 있는 것으로 생산효율과 제품의 경쟁력을 강화를 동시에 도모할 수 있는 등 그 기대되는 효과가 매우 큰 유익한 발명인 것이다.As described above, the folding hinge according to the present invention integrates the housing, the one-piece spring, the folding member, the hinge piece, and the like, which makes the welding very easy and simple, greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the glasses. Of course, the time required to manufacture the glasses can be significantly reduced. In addition, the fixing means for fastening the folding member with the single-spring spring to the housing does not appear in appearance, and the appearance of the glasses can be very beautifully finished, which can enhance production efficiency and product competitiveness. The expected effect is a very beneficial invention.
