Description
本創作係有關於一種眼鏡框組合結構，尤指一種採用方便的按壓機制，讓兩鏡框能卡掣或脫離，達到便利操作眼鏡框組合的功效為其創作應用者。This creation department relates to a combination structure of eyeglass frames, especially a convenient pressing mechanism, which enables the two frames to be jammed or detached, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the operation of the combination of the eyeglass frames.
按，一般全框式眼鏡主要具鏡框、鏡片、鏡腳組件，並該鏡框具環形框部，並該框部內緣設置可接合鏡片端緣之凹槽，且於側邊設置缺口，並令鏡框之缺口及框部擴張以使鏡片可嵌入凹槽內，再於缺口位置藉由螺栓接合並束合框部以使鏡片可穩固組設於鏡框上不會脫落。然而前述結構必須由工具螺合螺栓組裝，具組裝不便缺失，且不易更換不同色澤鏡片，具適用性較不理想缺失。Press, generally full-frame glasses mainly have a frame, a lens, a temple assembly, and the frame has a ring frame portion, and the inner edge of the frame portion is provided with a groove for engaging the edge of the lens, and a notch is provided on the side, and the frame is arranged The notch and the frame are expanded so that the lens can be embedded in the groove, and then the frame is joined by bolts at the notch position so that the lens can be stably assembled on the frame without falling off. However, the foregoing structure must be assembled by the tool screw bolt, which is inconvenient to assemble, and it is difficult to replace different color lenses, and the applicability is less than ideal.
另外，有公告第M459419號一種可快速更換鏡片之眼鏡，其主要係包括有鏡框、嵌掣塊、定位條及鏡片；其中：該鏡框，其於兩側形成有相對應之鏡片組接槽，且於鏡框中間位置設有第一樞接部；該嵌掣塊，其對應鏡框之第一樞接部形成有相配合之第二樞接部，而於該嵌掣塊上端則形成有嵌掣扣部；該定位條，其對應鏡框上緣設置，於定位條兩側形成有組接部，以令定位條以兩側組接部與鏡框兩側組接結合定位，且於定位條中間位置對應嵌掣塊之嵌掣扣部形成有嵌扣部；該鏡片，其係對應該鏡框之鏡片組接槽設置，而能令鏡片容設於該鏡框之鏡片組接槽內。In addition, there is a lens for quick lens replacement, which mainly includes a frame, an inlay block, a positioning strip and a lens; wherein: the frame is formed with corresponding lens assembly slots on both sides, And a first pivoting portion is disposed at a position between the frames; the first pivoting portion of the corresponding frame is formed with a matching second pivoting portion, and the upper end of the embedded block is formed with a nesting portion The positioning strip is disposed on the upper edge of the frame, and the connecting portion is formed on both sides of the positioning strip, so that the positioning strip is combined with the two sides of the frame and the two sides of the frame are assembled and positioned in the middle of the positioning bar. The inset buckle portion corresponding to the inlay block is formed with an inset portion; the lens is disposed corresponding to the lens grouping groove of the frame, and the lens is received in the lens assembly groove of the frame.
上述結構係令嵌掣塊以與鏡框樞接處之第一、二樞接部為軸心向下旋轉扳動，使得該嵌掣塊之嵌掣扣部脫離與定位條之嵌扣部的結合，而即可將定位條略為向上扳開，令鏡片由鏡框之鏡片組接槽內抽出進行更換；然而，在組裝操作上係極為煩雜，具有使用不便的缺失。The above structure is configured such that the inlay block is rotated downwardly with the first and second pivoting portions of the frame pivoting portion as an axis, so that the inset buckle portion of the inlay block is disengaged from the engaging portion of the positioning bar. The positioning bar can be slightly opened upward, so that the lens is taken out by the lens assembly groove of the frame to be replaced; however, the assembly operation is extremely complicated and has a lack of use.
