FIXING DEVICE OF A RIMLESS SPECTACLES
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a fixing device for rimless spectacles .
Background Art
As generally known in the art, a lens for rimless spectacles is perforated in a drilling operation to have through-holes for coupling the lens to a bridge and a leg, unlike a conventional lens for rimmed spectacles. Conventionally, the drilling operation is performed after putting a temporarily assembled lens on the lens for rimless spectacles, copying the position thereof with a pen, and so on. When the through-holes are not formed in correct positions, force is applied to a coupling portion of the leg thereby deforming the same. As a result, the coupling the leg to the lens takes a large amount of time and endeavor.
Disclosure of the Invention
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a fixing device for rimless spectacles in which a clamp function is provided to readily fix a lens and a temporarily assembled lens to a base plate has a projection inclined according to the curvature of the lens .
In order to accomplish this object, there is provided a fixing device for rimless spectacles, comprising: a base plate for seating a lens and a temporary lens which, are assembled to each other, so that one is above the other, a clamp coupled to the base plate in an upper central portion thereof, a fixing member coupled to a portion of the clamp opposite to a
knob thereof for compressing the lens and the temporary lens downward, and a positioning member for horizontally positioning the lens and the temporary lens.
Brief Description of the Drawings
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a fixing device of the invention; and
FIG . 2 is a plan view of the fixing device of the inventio .
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings . Referring to FIG. 1, a base plate 1 is formed in the shape of a rectangular parallelopiped plate and seats a lens and a temporary lens on a leading upper plane thereof. In the leading upper plane, a right portion where the lens is to be drilled is projected upward and inclined according to the curvature of the lens. In a drilling operation, through-holes of the lens are perforated coaxially with through-holes of the temporary lens to be coupled with the through-holes of the lens. In leading and right portions of the base plate 1, an "L" -shaped step is projected upward to position the elliptical lens in cooperation with a positioning plate 6 so that the lens will not move during the drilling operation. A clamp 2 is coupled to the base plate 1 on an upper central face of the base plate 1.
A fixing member 3 is coupled to the clamp 2 via a bolt and placed under an end of the clamp 2 opposite to a knob thereof. The fixing member 3 is made of a flexible rubber or synthetic resin, and downwardly compresses and fixes the lens and the temporary lens to the base plate 1 with a lower end thereof according to operation of the clamp 2.
The positioning member 4 has an operation bar 5, and the positioning plate 6 is fixed to operation bar 5 via a pin. The operation bar 5 is movable both forward and backward in an opening between the right and left fixing plates of the clamp 2. The positioning plate 6 is movable to the right and left to a predetermined degree and has a concave central portion to compressively fix the lens at both ends thereof .
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base plate 1 is made of a flexible metal such as Al in order to prevent a drill bit from bouncing in the drilling operation. Preferably, the right inclined portion of the upper plane of the base plate 1 is about 2mm. A spongy buffering material is inserted between the right inclined portion and the lens .
Industrial Applicability As can be seen from the foregoing, the fixing device of the invention can save time and endeavor necessary for perforating a lens for rimless spectacles thereby greatly improving reliability of the lens .
While this invention has been described in connection with what are presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment and the drawings, but, on the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and variations within the spirit and scope of the
