Definitions

  • This fixation has two parts. a) A stainless steel cable with a resistance of 20 kg which surrounds the branch and crimped by a steel tube under a pressure of 120 kg. The tensile strength is 18 kilograms, which prevents any displacement of the cord on the branch, hence the possibility of permanently placing the center of traction in the ideal and final position. b) A main support held on the bottom of the branch by the crimped steel cable.
  • This high precision mechanical part is the support of the female part which is integral with the cord or chain. Thus this part is completely integral with the branch and cannot be destroyed over time, which is not the case with rubber rings which self-destruct under the action of light.
  • C / Tooling consists of a crimping press and a lever for tensioning the cable before crimping.

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for permanently fastening a safety chain or string onto the arm of eyeglasses. The system prevents the string from slipping while allowing the arm to be placed with ease around the contour of the ear. The part (2) is crimped one-thirds of the way along the length of the arm, and is prevented from slipping by a steel cable of 8/10 in diameter, used as a crimp for the part (2) and having a tensile strength of eighteen kilograms. The part consists of a base (2) crimped by a cable onto the arm of the eyeglasses. The crimping is effected with a special multi-purpose clamp. Parts (2 and 4) are independent of one another and are joined by a screw system. The user can therefore change the string or chain as desired, for reasons of style or wear and tear of the string or chain. The system disclosed in the invention is especially intended for use in fastening strings or chains onto the frames of prescription eyeglasses or sunglasses.

Description

Système de fixation de cordons en soie et chaînes de lunettes en métal Silk cord fastening system and metal eyeglass chains
AJ Système de fixation définitif sur la branche de lunettes par sertissage.AJ System of final fixing on the branch of glasses by crimping.
B/ Système interchangeable de chaînes ou cordons de lunettes.B / Interchangeable system of chains or glasses cords.
C/ Outillage nécessaire au sertissage de la pièce maîtresse du système.C / Tools required for crimping the centerpiece of the system.
Ce système a été créé pour palier aux inconvénients des fixations des chaînes et cordons par un bricolage qui consiste à utiliser un joint torique avec une bague de serrage solidaire de la partie principale qui est le cordon ou la chaîne. Par ce nouveau concept, nous considérons trois parties très distinctes : la fixation définitive et discrète d'une attache faisant corps avec les branches de lunettes, la fixation du cordon ou de la chaîne et l'outillage pour le sertissage.This system was created to overcome the drawbacks of attaching chains and cords by a DIY which consists in using an O-ring with a tightening ring secured to the main part which is the cord or chain. By this new concept, we consider three very distinct parts: the definitive and discreet fixing of a fastener forming a body with the branches of glasses, the fixing of the cord or chain and the tools for crimping.
AJ La fixation définitive de l'accrochage du cordon.AJ The definitive fixing of the hanging of the cord.
Cette fixation comporte deux parties. a) Un câble d'acier inoxydable d'une résistance de 20 kilogrammes qui entoure la branche et sertie par un tube d'acier sous une pression de 120 kilogrammes. La résistance à la traction est de 18 kilogrammes, ce qui empêche tout déplacement du cordon sur la branche, d'où possibilité de placer définitivement le centre de traction à la position idéale et définitive. b) Un support principal tenu sur le bas de la branche par le câble d'acier serti. Cette pièce mécanique de haute précision est le support de la partie femelle qui est solidaire du cordon ou de la chaîne. Ainsi cette pièce est complètement solidaire de la branche et ne peut être détruite par le temps, ce qui n'est pas le cas des anneaux en caoutchouc qui s'auto détruisent sous l'action de la lumière.This fixation has two parts. a) A stainless steel cable with a resistance of 20 kg which surrounds the branch and crimped by a steel tube under a pressure of 120 kg. The tensile strength is 18 kilograms, which prevents any displacement of the cord on the branch, hence the possibility of permanently placing the center of traction in the ideal and final position. b) A main support held on the bottom of the branch by the crimped steel cable. This high precision mechanical part is the support of the female part which is integral with the cord or chain. Thus this part is completely integral with the branch and cannot be destroyed over time, which is not the case with rubber rings which self-destruct under the action of light.
B/ Système interchangeable de chaînes ou de cordons :B / Interchangeable chain or cord system:
Cette partie mâle fixée sur la branche est filetée et vient recevoir la clochette qui accompagne les extrémités des cordons ou des chaînes. Aussi par ce procédé, l'utilisateur peut changer de cordon (avoir différentes couleurs ou matières) ou passer de la chaîne métallique au cordon soie ou cuir.This male part fixed on the branch is threaded and receives the bell which accompanies the ends of the cords or chains. Also by this process, the user can change the cord (have different colors or materials) or switch from the metal chain to the silk or leather cord.
C/ L'outillage : se compose d'une presse à sertir et d'un levier pour la tension du câble avant sertissage. C / Tooling: consists of a crimping press and a lever for tensioning the cable before crimping.
