Description

DISPOSITIF POUR LE SUPPORT DE LUNETTES DEVICE FOR THE SUPPORT OF EYEWEAR
Objet de l'invention [0001] La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif pour le support de lunettes sur le nez. Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à un dispositif permettant un ajustement précis de la monture de lunettes selon la morphologie nasale du patient. [0002] Elle se rapporte également à une pince permettant le montage et le démontage du dispositif de support nasal.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a device for supporting glasses on the nose. It relates more particularly to a device allowing a precise adjustment of the spectacle frame according to the nasal morphology of the patient. It also relates to a clamp for mounting and disassembly of the nasal support device.
Etat de la technique [0003] Les montures de lunettes peuvent être de style différent pour présenter un aspect plaisant et esthétique, de sorte qu'une grande variété de modèles de lunettes différents sont fournis pour cela. Cependant, un fabriquant de montures de lunettes doit également tenir compte de la distribution ou des gammes de tailles et de proportions des caractéristiques faciales et anatomiques du marché des lunettes auquel il s'adresse. Du fait qu'il existe une variété considérable de structures de visages parmi les habitants de localités et de régions même les plus petites, il est important que les plaquettes nasales de la monture puissent être réglables afin de pouvoir s'adapter à la morphologie du nez du patient. [0004] De nombreux concepts pour des plaquettes nasales existent. On connaît les plaquettes nasales fixes par rapport à la monture de lunettes telles que décrites dans les documents US Des. 389,506, US 6,364,480 et US 4,924,245 où au mieux l'adaptation des plaquettes à la morphologie nasale est assurée par la seule flexibilité du matériau. On connaît également les plaquettes nasales qui peuvent pivoter sur un axe soit horizontal ou vertical. De tels dispositifs sont décrits dans les documents US 6,793,337, FR 2 398 321 Bl et FR 2 812 091 B3. Des solutions articulées existent également et sont décrites dans le document US 5,971,538 pour un casque HMD (Head Mounted Display) . Des méthodes pour régler la hauteur des plaquettes nasales sont aussi proposées dans les documents US 4,896,957 et US 6,045,223. On connaît également des dispositifs avec une rotule, où la rotule est fixée à la plaquette nasale permettant ainsi un déplacement dans plusieurs directions ou un déplacement limité autour de deux axes de cette dernière ; de tels dispositifs sont respectivement décrits dans les documents FR 2 730 824 Bl et FR 2 572 194 B3. [0005] Les supports de nez selon l'état de l'art ont pour inconvénient de ne pas permettre un placement optimal en fonction de la morphologie nasale du patient. De plus, la fixation des plaquettes nasales par vis ou par clipsState of the art [0003] Eyeglass frames can be of different styles to present a pleasing and aesthetic appearance, so that a wide variety of different eyeglass designs are provided for this purpose. However, a spectacle frame manufacturer must also consider the distribution or range of sizes and proportions of the facial and anatomical characteristics of the eyewear market to which it is addressed. Because there is a considerable variety of face structures among even small localities and regions, it is important that the nose pads of the frame can be adjusted to fit the morphology of the nose. of the patient. [0004] Many concepts for nasal platelets exist. Nose platelets which are fixed with respect to the spectacle frame as described are known. in US documents Des. 389,506, US 6,364,480 and US 4,924,245 where at best the adaptation of platelets to the nasal morphology is provided by the flexibility of the material. Nasal platelets are also known which can pivot on a horizontal or vertical axis. Such devices are described in US 6,793,337, FR 2,398,321 B1 and FR 2,812,091 B3. Articulated solutions also exist and are described in US 5,971,538 for an HMD helmet (Head Mounted Display). Methods for adjusting the height of nose pads are also provided in US 4,896,957 and US 6,045,223. Devices are also known with a ball joint, where the ball is fixed to the nose plate thus allowing a displacement in several directions or a limited displacement around two axes of the latter; such devices are respectively described in documents FR 2 730 824 B1 and FR 2 572 194 B3. The nose supports according to the state of the art have the disadvantage of not allowing optimal placement according to the nasal morphology of the patient. In addition, fixation of nose pads by screws or clips
(par exemple US 5,696,572 et FR 2 812 091 B3) dont le mouvement n'est possible que dans une direction oblige le porteur de lunettes à se rendre chez l'opticien pour faire ajuster son équipement optique afin que les plaquettes nasales suivent au plus près sa morphologie, ce réglage devant être rectifié chaque fois que le porteur reçoit un coup . [0006] Les dispositifs avec rotules selon l'état de l'art ont pour inconvénient que la rotule est fixée sur la plaquette mobile. La rotule est reliée à la plaquette via un axe (ou tige) qui constitue un point faible et risque de se fracturer en cours d'utilisation. Dans ce cas de figure, la rotule reste emboîtée dans la partie fixée à la monture et il n'y a alors aucune possibilité de réparation de la monture .(For example US 5,696,572 and FR 2 812 091 B3) whose movement is only possible in one direction requires the wearer of glasses to go to the optician to adjust his optical equipment so that the nose pads follow as closely as possible. its morphology, this setting to be rectified each time the wearer receives a blow. The devices with ball joints according to the state of the art have the disadvantage that the ball is fixed on the movable plate. The ball is connected to the plate via an axis (or rod) which is a weak point and may fracture during use. In this case, the ball remains nested in the part fixed to the frame and there is then no possibility of repair of the mount.
[0007] Hormis la problématique du réglage des plaquettes, il est également important pour le confort du patient que les plaquettes nasales ne glissent pas et que la force d'appui des plaquettes sur le nez soit réduite. Pour ce faire, des modifications de surface de contact ont été proposées tel qu'un coussin d'air dans le document US 4,070,104 ou le recouvrement de la plaquette par un matériau comme un thermoplastique souple tel que décrit dans les documents US 4,904,076, FR 2 812 091 B3 et US 4,390,256. Le document FR 2 326 717 Bl décrit un coussinet de plaquette nasale ayant une feuille de plastique souple en contact avec le nez et une feuille rigide soudées ensemble enfermant un fluide (air, eau, etc.) afin que ce coussinet s'adapte sur le nez par le poids des lunettes. Une alternative décrite dans le document FR 2 730 824 Bl est de monter sur la plaquette nasale du côté du nez, un petit sac souple rempli d'un silicone liquide ou un gel anallergique .Apart from the problem of adjusting the platelets, it is also important for the comfort of the patient that the nose pads do not slip and the platelet support force on the nose is reduced. To do this, contact surface modifications have been proposed such as an air cushion in US Pat. No. 4,070,104 or the covering of the wafer by a material such as a flexible thermoplastic as described in documents US 4,904,076, FR 2 812,091 B3 and US 4,390,256. FR 2 326 717 B1 discloses a nasal pad pad having a flexible plastic sheet in contact with the nose and a rigid sheet welded together enclosing a fluid (air, water, etc.) so that the pad fits over the nose by the weight of the glasses. An alternative described in document FR 2 730 824 B1 is to mount on the nasal plate on the side of the nose, a small flexible bag filled with a liquid silicone or an antiallergic gel.

Description d'une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention [0030] La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de support nasal monté sur rotule, mobile dans toutes les directions, qui permet de placer une monture de façon optimale sur le nez et ce sans aucun réglage. [0031] La figure 1 représente une monture de lunettes avec le dispositif de support nasal selon l'invention. Le dispositif comporte deux parties (fig.l). Une première partie, appelée bras de plaquette 1 ou bras de support, comporte une tige fixée à une extrémité à la monture 3 et terminée à l'autre extrémité par une rotule destinée à être emboîtée dans une seconde partie, appelée plaquette nasale 2. Le bras de plaquette comporte en outre un épaulement (non représenté sur la fig.l) placé peu avant la rotule qui aide au montage et au démontage de la seconde partie comme cela sera décrit plus loin. La seconde partie, ou plaquette nasale 2, comporte une pièce circulaire avec un embout évidé et disposé au centre de la face en regard de la monture 3, l'évidement étant destiné à recevoir la rotule du bras de plaquette lors de l'assemblage. [0032] Le bras de la plaquette 1 selon un premier mode de réalisation est représenté plus en détail à la figure 2. Il comporte la tige 4 précédemment mentionnée, cette dernière peut être, à titre d'exemple, en métal ou en celluloïd. Elle est pliée pour une fixation adéquate à la monture. Différentes méthodes de fixation (collage, soudage, etc.) peuvent se concevoir mais la préférence va vers le soudage. Dans le cas où la tige est en celluloïd, elle est alors fixée à la monture par sertissage ou au moyen de vis .DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION [0030] The present invention relates to a nasal support device mounted on a ball joint, movable in a all directions, which allows to place a mount optimally on the nose without any adjustment. Figure 1 shows an eyeglass frame with the nasal support device according to the invention. The device has two parts (fig.l). A first part, called a wafer arm 1 or support arm, comprises a rod fixed at one end to the frame 3 and terminated at the other end by a ball joint intended to be fitted in a second part, called the nose pad 2. The Wafer arm further comprises a shoulder (not shown in Fig.l) placed shortly before the ball which assists in mounting and dismounting the second part as will be described later. The second part, or nose pad 2, comprises a circular piece with a hollow tip and disposed in the center of the face facing the mount 3, the recess being intended to receive the ball of the wafer arm during assembly. The arm of the wafer 1 according to a first embodiment is shown in more detail in Figure 2. It comprises the rod 4 previously mentioned, the latter may be, for example, metal or celluloid. It is folded for proper attachment to the mount. Different methods of fixing (gluing, welding, etc.) can be conceived but the preference goes to welding. In the case where the rod is celluloid, it is then fixed to the mount by crimping or by means of screws.
[0033] A l'extrémité libre du bras de la plaquette se trouve une rotule 5, de préférence dans le même matériau que la tige 4. Le bras de la plaquette comporte également l' épaulement 6 situé sur la tige 4 et placé peu avant la rotule 5. Préférentiellement, l' épaulement se trouve à une distance de l'ordre de 4 mm de la rotule. [0034] L'épaulement 6 et la rotule 5 peuvent être réalisés par tournage, la tige étant ensuite pliée. Une alternative est de souder ou de coller sur la tige 4 un anneau dont le trou a un diamètre adapté pour la fixation sur la tige 4 et ensuite de souder ou de coller à l'extrémité de la tige une bille avec un trou dont le diamètre et la profondeur sont adaptés pour la fixation sur la tige 4. La bille constitue la rotule 5 du mécanisme d'adaptation et l'anneau constitue l'épaulement 6. Le tout forme le bras de la plaquette nasale. Dans le cas où la tige 4 est en celluloïd, la rotule 5 est également en celluloïd. L'ensemble tige, épaulement et rotule est alors moulé d'une pièce. [0035] Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, le bras de support 1 comporte une tige 4 et une pièce rigideAt the free end of the arm of the wafer is a ball 5, preferably in the same material as the rod 4. The arm of the wafer also has the shoulder 6 located on the rod 4 and placed shortly before the ball 5. Preferably, the shoulder is at a distance of about 4 mm from the patella. The shoulder 6 and the ball 5 can be made by turning, the rod is then folded. An alternative is to weld or stick on the rod 4 a ring whose hole has a diameter adapted for fixing on the rod 4 and then to weld or stick to the end of the rod a ball with a hole whose diameter and the depth are adapted for attachment to the rod 4. The ball constitutes the patella 5 of the adaptation mechanism and the ring constitutes the shoulder 6. The whole forms the arm of the nose pad. In the case where the rod 4 is celluloid, the ball 5 is also celluloid. The rod, shoulder and ball joint assembly is then molded in one piece. According to a second embodiment, the support arm 1 comprises a rod 4 and a rigid piece
19 comportant à une extrémité la rotule 5 et à l'autre extrémité un orifice 23 permettant l'insertion de la tige19 having at one end the ball 5 and at the other end an orifice 23 allowing the insertion of the rod
(fig.6). La pièce rigide 19 peut optionnellement comporter un épaulement aidant au montage et démontage de la plaquette nasale (non représenté) . Selon ce mode de réalisation, la tige est préférentiellement métallique et la pièce rigide est préférentiellement en matériau plastique . [0036] Selon un troisième mode de réalisation, le bras de support 1 comporte également une tige 4 et une rotule 5 solidaire d'une pièce rigide 20 mais le moyen de fixation de la tige à la pièce rigide est différent(Fig.6). The rigid part 19 may optionally include a shoulder assisting the assembly and disassembly of the nose pad (not shown). According to this embodiment, the rod is preferably metallic and the rigid piece is preferably made of plastic material. According to a third embodiment, the support arm 1 also comprises a rod 4 and a ball joint 5 integral with a rigid part 20, but the means for fixing the rod to the rigid part is different.
(fig.7) . Dans cette variante, la pièce rigide 20 comporte à une extrémité la rotule 5 et à proximité de l'autre extrémité un perçage cylindrique 24 disposé perpendiculairement à l'axe de la pièce rigide et destiné à recevoir une vis de fixation 21 après que la pièce rigide(fig.7). In this variant, the rigid part 20 comprises at one end the ball 5 and near the other end a cylindrical bore 24 arranged perpendicularly to the axis of the rigid part and intended to receive a fastening screw 21 after the piece rigid
20 soit engagée dans une tête creuse 22 disposée à une extrémité de la tige 4. La pièce rigide peut également optionnellement comporter un épaulement aidant au montage et démontage de la plaquette nasale (non représenté) . Dans ce mode de réalisation, la tige est préférentiellement métallique et la pièce rigide est préférentiellement en matériau plastique.20 is engaged in a hollow head 22 disposed at one end of the rod 4. The rigid piece can also optionally include a shoulder assisting the assembly and disassembly of the nose pad (not shown). In this embodiment, the rod is preferably metallic and the rigid piece is preferably made of plastic material.
[0037] La plaquette nasale selon l'invention est de préférence en matériau plastique rigide et peut être recouverte d'une matière souple. [0038] La plaquette nasale 2 selon un premier mode de réalisation est représentée à la figure 3. Elle comporte une pièce circulaire massive 7, de préférence, de 6 à 10 de diamètre, avec des bords latéraux arrondis pour éviter de blesser le nez. Un embout 8 est moulé au centre d'une des deux faces de la pièce circulaire. L'embout 8 comporte un évidement en forme de partie de sphère, qui est ouvert à l'extrémité libre de l'embout et destiné à recevoir la rotule 5 du bras de plaquette. La partie de sphère est plus grande qu'une demi-sphère mais plus petite qu'une sphère entière. On l'appellera alvéole sphérique 9 ou encore cavité sphérique. Les bords de l'embout à son extrémité libre se présentent sous forme d'arrondis 10 pour faciliter l'insertion de la rotule dans l'alvéole sphérique. Cette dernière a un diamètre légèrement supérieur à celui de la rotule du bras de la plaquette, afin de permettre le mouvement de l'un par rapport à l'autre. Le diamètre du pourtour circulaire (voir repère 15 à la fig.5) de l'alvéole au niveau des arrondis 10 est suffisamment inférieur au diamètre de la rotule pour maintenir la rotule dans l'alvéole sphérique de l'embout. [0039] La pièce circulaire de la plaquette nasale peut être en matériau rigide et lisse. Elle peut aussi être sablée pour la rendre légèrement rugueuse, afin d'augmenter l'adhésion au nez. [0040] En variante (non représentée) , la surface de la pièce circulaire en matériau rigide comporte des rainures circulaires concentriques. Ces rainures circulaires font partie du processus de moulage de la plaquette nasale par une provision adéquate dans le moule. [0041] Selon une autre variante (non représentée) , la pièce circulaire en matériau rigide est moulée dans un matériau semi-rigide comme l'acétate de cellulose, le polyuréthane ou le silicone formant alors un revêtement autour du matériau rigide. La surface du revêtement peut également être sablée ou comporter des rainures circulaires .The nose pad according to the invention is preferably made of rigid plastic material and may be covered with a flexible material. The nasal plate 2 according to a first embodiment is shown in Figure 3. It comprises a solid circular part 7, preferably 6 to 10 in diameter, with rounded side edges to avoid hurting the nose. A tip 8 is molded in the center of one of the two faces of the circular piece. The tip 8 has a recess in the form of a sphere portion, which is open at the free end of the tip and intended to receive the ball 5 of the wafer arm. The sphere part is larger than a half sphere but smaller than a whole sphere. It will be called spherical cell 9 or spherical cavity. The edges of the tip at its free end are in the form of rounded 10 to facilitate the insertion of the ball in the spherical cell. The latter has a diameter slightly greater than that of the patella arm of the wafer, to allow the movement of one relative to the other. The diameter of the circular periphery (see mark 15 in FIG. 5) of the cell at the rounded edges 10 is sufficiently smaller than the diameter of the ball to hold the ball in the spherical cell of the tip. The circular piece of the nasal plate may be rigid and smooth material. It can also be sanded to make it slightly rough, to increase the adhesion to the nose. Alternatively (not shown), the surface of the circular piece of rigid material has concentric circular grooves. These circular grooves are part of the nasal wafer molding process by adequate provision in the mold. According to another variant (not shown), the circular piece of rigid material is molded in a semi-rigid material such as cellulose acetate, polyurethane or silicone then forming a coating around the rigid material. The surface of the coating may also be sandblasted or have circular grooves.
[0042] Selon encore une autre variante (non représentée) , la pièce circulaire peut être légèrement convexe. Dans ce cas, un moulage avec un matériau semi- rigide comme le silicone ou le polyuréthane est préférable. La face opposée à l'embout de fixation du bras de la plaquette, c'est-à-dire la face en contact avec le nez, peut aussi être traitée suivant les descriptions reprises ci-dessus: sablée, rainurée circulairement . La convexité et le traitement de surface augmenteront la surface de contact entre la plaquette nasale et le nez.According to yet another variant (not shown), the circular piece may be slightly convex. In this case, molding with a semi-rigid material such as silicone or polyurethane is preferable. The opposite face to the attachment end of the arm of the wafer, that is to say the face in contact with the nose, can also be treated according to the descriptions mentioned above: sandblasted, grooved circularly. Convexity and surface treatment will increase the contact area between the nose pad and the nose.
[0043] La plaquette nasale 2 selon un second mode de réalisation est représentée à la figure 4. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la pièce circulaire n'est plus massive mais comporte un anneau rigide 11 fixé par plusieurs bras 12, à titre d'exemple au nombre de quatre, à un embout 8 similaire à celui de la plaquette circulaire massive décrite ci-haut. La pièce circulaire comporte également des bords latéraux pour éviter de blesser le nez et peut également être recouverte d'une matière souple antidérapante de type silicone 13.The nose pad 2 according to a second embodiment is shown in Figure 4. In this embodiment, the circular piece is not massive but has a rigid ring 11 fixed by several arms 12, as a example four in number, a tip 8 similar to that of the massive circular wafer described above. The circular piece also has lateral edges to avoid hurting the nose and can also be covered with a soft silicone-type anti-slip material 13.
[0044] Les figures 5, 6 et 7 montrent l'ensemble monté de la plaquette nasale 2 et son bras de support 1 pour différents modes de réalisation du bras de support. Comme mentionné précédemment, il y a un léger espacement 14 entre les parois de la cavité 9 de l'embout 8 et la rotule 5 permettant un mouvement souple de la rotule dans la cavité.Figures 5, 6 and 7 show the assembled assembly of the nasal plate 2 and its support arm 1 for different embodiments of the support arm. As mentioned above, there is a slight spacing 14 between the walls of the cavity 9 of the nozzle 8 and the ball 5 allowing a flexible movement of the ball in the cavity.
[0045] Le montage ou le démontage de la plaquette nasale se fait avec une pince à becs plats 16 comportant une encoche à l'extrémité de chaque bec (fig.8) . La largeur d'une encoche 17 est légèrement supérieure au diamètre de la tige 4 ou de la pièce rigide 19,20 et, préférentiellement plus large de 0.1 à 1 mm. De même, la hauteur (ou profondeur) de l'encoche 17 est supérieure de 1 à 5 mm au diamètre de la tige ou de la pièce rigide du bras de support. L'encoche 18 sur l'autre bec de la pince a une largeur plus grande et légèrement supérieure au diamètre extérieur de l'embout 8 de la plaquette nasale, et préférentiellement plus large de 0.1 à 2 mm. Elle est également plus profonde parce que le diamètre de l'embout 8 de la plaquette nasale est plus grand que celui de la tige 4 ou de la pièce rigide 19,20 du bras. La hauteur (ou profondeur) de cette dernière encoche est telle que, quand la pince est positionnée pour le montage ou le démontage, la pince est perpendiculaire à l'axe de la tige ou de la pièce rigide entre la rotule et l'épaulement 6 (figs.9-10). Préférentiellement, sa hauteur est supérieure de 1 à 5 mm au diamètre extérieur de l'embout.The assembly or disassembly of the nasal plate is done with a flat nose pliers 16 having a notch at the end of each nose (Fig.8). The width of a notch 17 is slightly greater than the diameter of the rod 4 or the rigid piece 19,20 and, preferably wider than 0.1 to 1 mm. Similarly, the height (or depth) of the notch 17 is 1 to 5 mm greater than the diameter of the rod or the rigid part of the support arm. The notch 18 on the other nose of the clamp has a width greater and slightly greater than the outer diameter of the tip 8 of the nose pad, and preferably wider than 0.1 to 2 mm. It is also deeper because the diameter of the tip 8 of the nose pad is greater than that of the rod 4 or the rigid piece 19,20 of the arm. The height (or depth) of the latter notch is such that, when the clamp is positioned for assembly or disassembly, the clamp is perpendicular to the axis of the rod or the rigid part between the ball and the shoulder 6 (figs.9-10). Preferably, its height is 1 to 5 mm greater than the outer diameter of the tip.
[0046] L'opération de montage (fig.9) et démontageThe mounting operation (fig.9) and disassembly
(fig.10) est illustrée ici pour le bras de support selon la variante des figures 2 et 5 mais cela s'applique également aux variantes des figures 6 et 7, la pièce rigide étant alors pourvue d'un épaulement. Lors du montage, on positionne la rotule 5 du bras de la plaquette devant l'alvéole de l'embout 8 de la plaquette nasale. Le bec avec la plus grande encoche 18 de la pince est placé du coté nez de la plaquette nasale et l'autre bec 17 derrière l'épaulement 6 du coté opposé de la rotule 5. Lors du pinçage, la rotule 5 glisse dans la cavité de la plaquette nasale . [0047] Lors du démontage, on place le bec de la pince avec la grande encoche 18 sur l'embout 8 de la plaquette nasale et l'autre bec 17 sur la tige 4 ou la pièce rigide 19,20 entre la rotule 5 et l'épaulement 6. En ouvrant la pince, la rotule sort de la cavité de la plaquette nasale.(Fig.10) is illustrated here for the support arm according to the variant of Figures 2 and 5 but this also applies to the variants of Figures 6 and 7, the rigid part then being provided with a shoulder. During assembly, the ball 5 of the arm of the wafer is positioned in front of the socket of the tip 8 of the nose pad. The beak with the largest notch 18 of the clamp is placed on the nose side of the nasal plate and the other spout 17 behind the shoulder 6 on the opposite side of the ball 5. When pinching, the ball 5 slides in the cavity of the nose pad. During disassembly, place the nose of the clamp with the large notch 18 on the tip 8 of the nasal plate and the other nozzle 17 on the rod 4 or the rigid part 19,20 between the ball 5 and Shoulder 6. Opening the clamp, the patella out of the cavity of the nose pad.
AvantagesAdvantages
[0048] Le support nasal selon l'invention ne requiert pas d'intervention de l'opticien pour le réglage, ce dernier se faisant automatiquement. Les opérations de montage et de démontage n'ont d'ailleurs, sauf cas de rupture ou de détérioration du dispositif, pas lieu d'être. [0049] En cas de rupture de la plaquette nasale, l'évidement peut toujours être désolidarisé de la rotule lors d'une opération de démontage. Seule la plaquette devra donc être changée et non pas toute la monture, comme c'est le cas pour les dispositifs avec rotules selon l'état de l'art. A cet égard, les dispositifs selon l'invention où la rotule peut également être désolidarisée de la tige tels qu' illustrés aux figures 6 et 7 offrent encore plus de flexibilité en termes de montage et démontage. The nasal support of the invention does not require intervention of the optician for adjustment, the latter being done automatically. The assembly and disassembly operations have moreover, except in case of rupture or deterioration of the device, not necessary to be. In case of rupture of the nasal plate, the recess can always be detached from the patella during a disassembly operation. Only the plate must be changed and not the entire frame, as is the case for devices with patches according to the state of the art. In this regard, the devices according to the invention where the ball joint can also be detached from the rod as illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 provide even more flexibility in terms of assembly and disassembly.
