Description

Dispositif pour régler les branches et montures sur des lunettes de vue, de soleil et de protection. Device for adjusting the temples and frames on prescription glasses, sunglasses and protective glasses.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de réglage manuel des branches et des montures de lunettes permettant un ajustage latéral et/ou perpendiculaire à l'angle de vision.The present invention relates to a manual adjustment device for the arms and spectacle frames allowing lateral and / or perpendicular adjustment to the viewing angle.
Le réglage du port des lunettes est .d'ordinaire, effectué par un jeu de vis sur la branche et ne permet pas d'orientation angulaire de la monture des verres selon le champ visuel à adopter. De plus, ce réglage par vis n'élimine pas les risques de dévissage et de perte d'éléments vissés, de gênes et de marques disgracieuses sur la zone temporale.The wearing of glasses is usually adjusted by a set of screws on the branch and does not allow angular orientation of the frame of the glasses according to the visual field to be adopted. In addition, this adjustment by screw does not eliminate the risks of unscrewing and loss of screwed elements, discomfort and unsightly marks on the temporal zone.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. E comporte deux éléments interactifs :The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. E has two interactive elements:
- une mortaise, fixée à la monture des verres selon les techniques actuelles, est constituée d'une sphère évidée présentant deux ouvertures ; l'une à 180° correspondant à la demi - circonférence de la sphère par rapport aux deux pôles, la seconde à 90°perpendiculaire au centre de la première ouverture et orientée vers l' intérieur de la monture.- a mortise, fixed to the frame of the glasses according to current techniques, consists of a hollowed-out sphere having two openings; one at 180 ° corresponding to the half-circumference of the sphere with respect to the two poles, the second at 90 ° perpendicular to the center of the first opening and oriented towards the inside of the frame.
- un tenon dont la tête sphérique prolongée par la branche de lunettes d'un seul tenant est destiné à être emboîté dans la mortaise. L'articulation du tenon dans les positions offertes par les ouvertures de la mortaise sera contrôlée par la résistance qu'exerce la mortaise sur le tenon emboîté. Ainsi, le déplacement horizontal du tenon autorisera un réglage des branches de lunettes adapté à la morphologie du visage. Le déplacement vertical du tenon solutionnera les problèmes de presbytie en baissant la monture selon le plan de travail ou de lecture ; branche ajustée sur l'oreille. Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation :- a tenon whose spherical head extended by the branch of glasses in one piece is intended to be fitted into the mortise. The articulation of the post in the positions offered by the mortise openings will be controlled by the resistance exerted by the mortise on the nested post. Thus, the horizontal displacement of the post will allow an adjustment of the branches of glasses adapted to the morphology of the face. The vertical displacement of the post will solve the problems of presbyopia by lowering the frame according to the work plan or reading; branch adjusted to the ear. According to the particular embodiments:
- la mortaise peut être sertie par pincement ou soudée à la monture des verres, d'où l'absence totale de jeux de vis sur les lunettes.- the mortise can be crimped by pinching or welded to the frame of the lenses, hence the total absence of screw sets on the glasses.
- les deux angles droits ainsi formés à l'intersection des deux ouvertures de la mortaise peuvent subir un léger arrondi.- the two right angles thus formed at the intersection of the two openings in the mortise can undergo a slight rounding.
- la mortaise peut comporter des configurations différentes d'ouvertures.- the mortise can have different configurations of openings.
- le tenon peut recevoir par filetage rextrémité utile de la branche de lunettes.- The post can receive by useful rextrifice thread of the branch of glasses.
- le tenon s'emboîte dans une mortaise, de même forme, autre que sphérique décrite ci-dessus. - les branches de lunettes peuvent être extensibles. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :- the post fits into a mortise, of the same shape, other than spherical described above. - the branches of glasses can be extendable. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
La figure 1 représente le tenon prolongé de la branche de lunettes.Figure 1 shows the extended post of the spectacle branch.
La figure 2 représente, vue de face, le dispositif de l'invention, branche repliée. La figure 3 représente, vue de face, une variante de l'invention. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une mortaise (1) avec deux ouvertures' ; l'une à 180° (3) , l'autre à 90° (4) orientée vers l'intérieur de la monture, dans' laquelle le tenon (2) est emboîté. Par simple pression des deux index sur les côtés des branches, le réglage se fera latéralement par déplacement du tenon (2) dans l'ouverture horizontale (4) et à 90° assurera la position lunettes repliées. De plus, par combinaison du positionnement des deux index sur les branches et par pression des deux pouces sur le bas de la monture des verres le tenon (2) se déplacera dans l'ouverture verticale (3) de la mortaise (1) : soit pour ajuster l'angle de vision, soit pour adopter une position inactive de la monture.2 shows, front view, the device of the invention, folded branch. Figure 3 shows, front view, a variant of the invention. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a mortise (1) with two openings'; one at 180 ° (3), the other at 90 ° (4) oriented towards the inside of the frame, in which the tenon (2) is fitted. By simple pressure of the two indexes on the sides of the branches, the adjustment will be made laterally by displacement of the tenon (2) in the horizontal opening (4) and at 90 ° will ensure the folded glasses position. In addition, by combining the positioning of the two indexes on the arms and by pressing two inches on the bottom of the lens frame, the tenon (2) will move in the vertical opening (3) of the mortise (1): either to adjust the viewing angle, or to adopt an inactive position of the frame.
Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 3, on élimine sur la mortaise (1), suivant un arc de cercle, l'élément de matière situé entre le pôle inférieur et l'ouverture horizontale (4). Cette réalisation a pour but un champ opératoire du tenon (2) plus permissif à 90°. Selon une variante non illustrée, le tenon de forme sphérique ou ovale, s'emboîte dans une mortaise de même forme respective et peut ne présenter qu'une ouverture horizontale pour un réglage latéral et le repli des branches.In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the element of material located between the lower pole and the horizontal opening (4) is eliminated on the mortise (1), in an arc of a circle. The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a more permissive tenon (2) operating field at 90 °. According to a variant not illustrated, the tenon of spherical or oval shape, fits into a mortise of the same respective shape and may have only a horizontal opening for lateral adjustment and the folding of the branches.
A titre d'exemple non exhaustif, la mortaise aura un diamètre intérieur de 0,8 cm, une épaisseur de 0,10 à 0,15 cm, le tenon aura un diamètre d'environ 0,8 cm. Les ouvertures peuvent être réalisées sur 0,15 à 0,30 cm selon la forme de la base de la branche. L'efficacité de la rotation du tenon dans la mortaise résultera du choix des matériaux à employer et de la technique d'emboîtage.As a non-exhaustive example, the mortise will have an internal diameter of 0.8 cm, a thickness of 0.10 to 0.15 cm, the post will have a diameter of about 0.8 cm. The openings can be made from 0.15 to 0.30 cm depending on the shape of the base of the branch. The efficiency of the rotation of the tenon in the mortise will result from the choice of materials to be used and the fitting technique.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est destiné aux fabricants de montures et d'armatures de lunettes de vue, de soleil ou de protection. The device according to the invention is intended for manufacturers of frames and frames for prescription, sunglasses or protective glasses.
