Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a hinge and a wire extending through the hinge and further relates to eyeglasses, such as electrooptic eyeglasses, including a hinge through which one or more, preferably a set, of conductors extend to connect electrical components such as an electrical circuit and power supply to an eyeglass lens, thereby causing the lens to change an optical characteristic such as, for example, color, opaqueness, transmissivity or other optical property.
  • Eyeglasses typically include a frame in which a pair of eyeglass lenses are mounted, a pair of temples and a pair of hinges pivotally interconnecting the frame and the temples.
  • Each hinge typically includes a tang extending outwardly from one end of the eyeglass frame, a clevis provided on one end of a temple and including a pair of spaced apart and generally parallel clevis members, and a pivot pin.
  • the tang is provided with a pivot pin through hole and the clevis members are provided with a pair of axially aligned pivot pin through holes.
  • the clevis members are placed around the tang, the through holes are axially aligned and the connector pin is inserted into the aligned through holes to pivotally interconnect the tang and clevis.
  • a "barrel type" eyeglass hinge is similar except it contains multiple tangs interleaved with clevises.
  • Eyeglasses are known in the art including electrooptical eyeglass lenses which are provided with or comprise an optical element which changes an optical characteristic, such as opaqueness, color, transmissivity, or other optical property, upon an electrical signal or electric charge being applied to the eyeglass lens.
  • U.S. Patent 4,756,605 entitled LIQUID CRYSTAL SPECTACLES, patented July 12, 1988, Okada et al. inventors, discloses spectacles having a pair of liquid crystal lenses, a frame, a pair of temples and a pair of hinges pivotally interconnecting the temples and the frame of the spectacles.
  • a regulator circuit is provided in each temple and a regulator circuit is connected to the eyeglass lenses through a pair of conductors with the conductor extending through the brow of the spectacle frame and with the conductor extending through the rim of the spectacle frame.
  • the conductors are connected to transparent electrodes and when voltage from the regulator circuit is applied to the electrodes, the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layers gradually change their direction of orientation toward (i.e., become perpendicular to) the transparent plate.
  • the refractive indices of liquid crystal layers, with respect to incident light can be changed in succession.
  • eyeglasses are known in the art which include electrochromic eyeglass lenses or wherein a transparent layer of electrochromic material is applied to the eyeglass lenses. Upon electrical charge being applied to such electrochromic lenses, the lenses change in transmittance property. See, for example, U.S. Patent 5,520,851 entitled “IRRIDIUM OXIDE FILM FOR ELECTROCHROMIC DEVICE", issued to Yu et al . on May 26, 1996, which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the wires since such permanent wired connections require the wired electrical conductors to traverse the hinge, it is preferable that the wires not experience a concentrated bending moment when the eyeglasses are alternately opened and closed because such repeated concentrated bending moments can result in breakage or shearing of the wires or electrical conductors.
  • Running the wires or electrical conductors past a hinge or pivot point between a temple and the eyeglass frame introduces several problems. If the wires, or conductors, run to the outside of the hinge or pivot point, the wires or conductors are stretched when the temples are closed on the eyeglass frame. If the wires or conductors are on the inside of the hinge or pivot point, the wires or conductors are stretched when the temples are opened away from the eyeglass frames. If the wires or conductors are on the outside of the hinge or pivot point and made long enough to not be under tension when the temples are closed on the eyeglass frame, the wires or conductors are then compressed and could be kinked when the eyeglass frame is opened and the temples pivoted away from the eyeglass frame.
  • the novel tang/clevis-type hinge of this invention is a split pin hinge comprising first and second split pin portions, a tang, a clevis and a wire or conductor, wherein a first portion of said split pin is inserted from a first side of said hinge and a second portion of said split pin is inserted from the opposite side into said tang and clevis thereby pivotally connecting said tang and clevis.
  • the opposing ends of the pin portions do not meet when inserted into the hinge, which forms a gap that allows said wire to pass between the opposed ends of the first and second pin portions and into an axial bore in either or both of the pin portions.
  • the split pin assembly eliminates any stretching of the wire(s) upon opening or closing of the hinge.
  • split-pin hinge and wire combination may be utilized as any eyewear hinge and combined advantageously with the other components of a pair of eyeglasses including eyeglass lenses which undergo a change in optical characteristic, such as transmittance, when an electrical signal, or electric charge, is applied to the eyeglass lenses over wires or electrical conductors.

  • the size of the gap is determined by the relative length of pin portions 30a and 30b and should be sufficient to accommodate all wires or conductors passing therethrough. It should be noted that one or both pivot pin portions 30a and 30b may be slotted at one end to provide a gap in which at least one electrical conductor may pass. In this fashion, the pivot pin portions 30a and 30b may be lengthened so they abut when inserted within the clevis 28.
