Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a technique for detachably attaching a spectacle attachment to spectacles.
  • the inventor of the present application has come up with the idea that glasses can be used to attach the above-mentioned device having wearability as one of its properties to the user's body. That is, the present inventor has obtained the idea that it would be convenient if the device as described above could be attached to the user's body via the glasses worn by the user. Since glasses are used over the user's ears in everyday life, when the device as described above is attached to the glasses, the user's hands are kept free. Even if such a device is attached, the user is in a state where both hands are open, which is convenient for using the above-described device in daily life situations. Glasses are mainly used to correct vision, but even those who do not need vision correction are free to wear Date glasses or sunglasses.
  • Difficulties in making it possible to attach the spectacle attachment to the spectacles arise from the variety of spectacle structures.
  • the design of eyeglasses, which are often demanded of fashion, is extremely diverse. Therefore, regardless of whether the spectacle attachment to be attached to the spectacle attachment is used as a dedicated product, the spectacle attachment is attached to general spectacles anywhere on the spectacles.
  • the problem is whether to attach the attachment. For example, since almost all spectacles have a common member called a lens and a temple, it is conceivable to attach an eyeglass attachment to one of them. There are a variety of thickness differences, and the temples have a variety of thickness, cross-sectional shape, etc., so the eyeglass attachment is attached to the glasses via the lens or temple. Is still not easy.
  • the present invention is broadly classified into a first invention and a second invention as described below.
  • the first invention is as follows.
  • the inventor of the present application first proposes as spectacles that are used by attaching to a pair of eyeglasses that are provided with a pair of left and right temple hinges attached with screws that penetrate a part of them in the vertical direction. It is an attachment / detachment mechanism for attaching the attachment.
  • the inner periphery of the through hole need not be threaded.
  • the exposed portion of the screw is screwed with the nut by utilizing the function of being able to screw with something that the screw has.
  • Employing this structure has an advantage that the first member can be fixed to the screw even if the screw diameter is different.
  • the screw screwed to the hinge may differ depending on the spectacles, in this structure, the first member can be fixed to the screw only by preparing a nut matched to the screw.
  • the nut does not necessarily have to penetrate through the hole in the nut thickness direction.
  • a structure that does not penetrate the hole such as a cap nut, may be employed.
  • the nut used in this case is also called a flanged nut, but the first member can be attached to the screw even if such a nut is used.
  • the hole of a nut part does not need to penetrate the flange part.
  • the flange portion can have a size and shape that does not enter the gap and can be easily picked by a user with a finger, By doing so, it is possible to allow the user to attach and detach the nut and the first member with respect to the screw by rotating the flange portion picked by a finger in an arbitrary direction.
  • the first member is basically permanently attached to the glasses, but if such a structure is adopted, the first member can be attached to and detached from the glasses.
  • the second member and the eyeglass attachment including the second member can be freely attached to and detached from the first member and the eyeglass including the second member as necessary.
  • the first member is no longer necessary for a certain period of time, such as when the eyeglass attachment is no longer used in combination with the eyeglass, or the first member is attached to the eyeglass although it is small. For users who are concerned about this, it is considered that the configuration in which the first member can be removed from the glasses is beneficial.
  • this advantage is not achieved for the first time by using the nut having the flange portion as described above, and the first member is detachably fixed to the exposed portion of the screw. If so, it can also be obtained by other structures. If the first member is detachably fixed to the hinge screw, the first member and the second member do not necessarily have to be detachable. If the first member is detachably fixed to the hinge screw, when the spectacle attachment is removed from the spectacles, the first member and the second member are removed by removing the first member from the spectacle screws. This is because the eyeglass attachment and the eyeglass attachment need only be removed from the eyeglasses.
  • the first member does not necessarily need to be small, and the first member and the second member can be integrated.
  • the first member should be as small as possible mainly for fashion reasons.
  • it since it is attached to spectacles (and it is highly likely to be attached permanently), it is preferably lightweight. If a fashion side is considered more, it is preferable that the 1st member is settled in the part pinched
  • the first member is positioned behind the wisdom of the glasses when the glasses are viewed from the front. If it does in this way, the presence of the 1st member will become more unpretentious from a third party.
  • the first member may be located at a position ahead of the screw when the glasses are viewed from the side. This is also useful for making the presence of the first member more unpretentious from a third party.
  • the detachable fixing of the first member and the second member may be realized by any configuration.
  • first member and the second member can be detachably fixed by a detachable ball joint.
  • one of the first member and the second member is provided with a ball for forming a ball joint, and the other member having a concave surface for storing the ball is provided on the other of the first member and the second member.

Description

眼鏡用アタッチメントの着脱機構、眼鏡用アタッチメント、眼鏡、および眼鏡システムAttachment / detachment mechanism for eyeglass attachment, eyeglass attachment, eyeglasses, and eyeglass system
 本発明は、眼鏡に眼鏡用アタッチメントを着脱自在に取り付けるための技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a technique for detachably attaching a spectacle attachment to spectacles.
 電子部品の小型化が進んだ結果、様々な機器がウエアラブルになって来ている。例えば、従来は大型の据え置きタイプの物しかなかったディスプレイに基づいてヘッドマウントディスプレイが開発されたり、従来は手持ちが当たり前であったカメラに基づいてユーザの視線方向の対象物を撮像できるヘッドマウントタイプのカメラが開発されたりしている。
 そのようなウエアラブルであることをその性質の一つとして持つ機器(これは、上述したディスプレイ、カメラには限られず、例えば、照明用のライト、ラジオ、オーディオプレイヤ等様々なものが含まれうるし、更にいえば拡大鏡のような電子機器以外の機器も含まれうる。)は今後その応用が望まれるが、それをどのようにしてユーザの身体に取付けるかという点が課題となる。
 本願発明者は研究の結果、ウエアラブルであることをその性質の一つとして持つ上述の如き機器をユーザの身体に取付けるには、眼鏡を利用できるのではないかという着想を得た。つまり、上述の如き機器を、ユーザが身に着けた眼鏡を介してユーザの身体に取付けることができれば便利ではないか、という着想を本願発明者は得たのである。
 眼鏡は、普段の生活においてユーザの耳にかけて使用されるため、上述の如き機器を眼鏡に取付けた場合には、ユーザの両手は空いた状態を保つから、ユーザの身体に取付けられた眼鏡に上述の如き機器を取付けたとしてもユーザは両手が空いた状態となるので、日常生活の場面で上述の機器を利用するのに便利である。また、眼鏡は、視力の矯正を主な目的として使用されるが、視力の矯正を必要としない者であっても伊達眼鏡やサングラスを掛けることは自由であるから、ウエアラブルであることをその性質の一つとして持つ機器をユーザの身体に取付けるために、万人が使用することのできる眼鏡を利用することとしても、ユーザを選ぶことがない。
 そのような意味で、眼鏡に様々な機器、特に小型の機器を取付けることができるようになれば非常に便利であると考えられる。
 例えば、小型の画像表示装置を眼鏡に取り付けてヘッドマウントディスプレイとして使用したり、小型のカメラを眼鏡に取り付けて自分の視界に入るものを撮影したりすることができるようになれば便利であろう。
 ところが、ウエアラブルであることをその性質の一つとして持つ上述の如き機器(このような機器は、本願では眼鏡に取付けられることを前提とするため、本願ではそれを以下「眼鏡用アタッチメント」と呼ぶこととする。)を眼鏡に取付けられるようにすることは簡単ではない。
 眼鏡用アタッチメントを眼鏡に取付けられるようにすることの困難性は、眼鏡の構造が多様であることに起因して生じる。ファッション性が強く求められることの多い眼鏡は、そのデザインが極めて多様である。したがって、眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付ける眼鏡を眼鏡用アタッチメントと組合わせることを前提とした専用品とした場合はともかく、一般的な眼鏡に眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付けようとする場合には、眼鏡のどこに眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付ければよいかということが問題となる。例えば、殆どすべての眼鏡は、レンズとテンプルという共通の部材を備えているため、それらのいずれかに対して眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付けることが考えられるが、レンズには、フレームの有無、形状の相違、厚さの相違等の多様性があり、また、テンプルには、その太さ、断面形状等の多様性があるから、レンズ、或いはテンプルを介して眼鏡に眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付けるようにすることはやはり簡単ではない。
 しかも、眼鏡用アタッチメントの眼鏡への取付けは、眼鏡用アタッチメントを使用しないときにはそれを眼鏡から取外せるようにするために、着脱自在なものとするのが好ましいが、それがまた眼鏡用アタッチメントの眼鏡への取付けを行う機構の開発を困難なものとしている。
 本発明は、眼鏡用アタッチメントの眼鏡への取付を、殆どすべての眼鏡に対して行なえるようにするための技術を提案することをその課題とする。
As a result of the miniaturization of electronic components, various devices have become wearable. For example, a head-mounted display has been developed based on a display that was conventionally only a large stationary type, or a head-mounted type that can capture an object in the direction of the user's line of sight based on a camera that was conventionally handheld. A camera has been developed.
A device having such a wearable property as one of its properties (this is not limited to the display and camera described above, and may include various lighting devices such as a light for lighting, a radio, and an audio player, In addition, devices other than electronic devices such as a magnifying glass may also be included in the future, but their application is desired in the future, but how to attach them to the user's body is a problem.
As a result of research, the inventor of the present application has come up with the idea that glasses can be used to attach the above-mentioned device having wearability as one of its properties to the user's body. That is, the present inventor has obtained the idea that it would be convenient if the device as described above could be attached to the user's body via the glasses worn by the user.
Since glasses are used over the user's ears in everyday life, when the device as described above is attached to the glasses, the user's hands are kept free. Even if such a device is attached, the user is in a state where both hands are open, which is convenient for using the above-described device in daily life situations. Glasses are mainly used to correct vision, but even those who do not need vision correction are free to wear Date glasses or sunglasses. Even when using glasses that can be used by everyone in order to attach a device as one of the above to the user's body, the user is not selected.
In that sense, it would be very convenient if various devices, particularly small devices, could be attached to the glasses.
For example, it would be convenient if a small image display device could be attached to spectacles and used as a head-mounted display, or if a small camera could be attached to spectacles and photographed things that would go into my field of view. .
However, a device as described above having wearable properties as one of its properties (Since this device is assumed to be attached to glasses in this application, it is hereinafter referred to as “glasses attachment” in the present application. It is not easy to be able to attach to the glasses.
Difficulties in making it possible to attach the spectacle attachment to the spectacles arise from the variety of spectacle structures. The design of eyeglasses, which are often demanded of fashion, is extremely diverse. Therefore, regardless of whether the spectacle attachment to be attached to the spectacle attachment is used as a dedicated product, the spectacle attachment is attached to general spectacles anywhere on the spectacles. The problem is whether to attach the attachment. For example, since almost all spectacles have a common member called a lens and a temple, it is conceivable to attach an eyeglass attachment to one of them. There are a variety of thickness differences, and the temples have a variety of thickness, cross-sectional shape, etc., so the eyeglass attachment is attached to the glasses via the lens or temple. Is still not easy.
Moreover, the attachment of the spectacle attachment to the spectacles is preferably detachable so that the spectacle attachment can be detached from the spectacles when not in use. It is difficult to develop a mechanism that attaches to the head.
This invention makes it the subject to propose the technique for enabling attachment to the spectacles of spectacles attachment with respect to almost all spectacles.
 本願発明者は、かかる課題を解決するために研究を重ね、以下の着想を得た。
 殆どすべての眼鏡は、眼鏡のレンズとテンプルとを接続する部分に丁番(蝶番)と呼ばれる部材を備えている。丁番は一般的に、フレームレスタイプの眼鏡の場合には両レンズの側方外側の端部に、フレームのある眼鏡の場合にはフレームの側方外側の端部に、多くの場合智を介して取付けられるが、いずれにせよ略すべての眼鏡が備える。そして、丁番には、多くの場合丁番を縦に貫くネジが取付けられている。このネジは、丁番に固定された状態でテンプルの基端を貫いており、テンプルは、そのネジを軸として眼鏡のレンズに対して回動運動を行えるようになっている。つまり、丁番のネジは、テンプルのレンズに対する回動運動を行わせるために基本的に不可欠なのであり、よほど特殊な丁番を除けばほとんどすべての丁番に存在する。
 本願発明者は、この丁番のネジに着目した。丁番に取付けられたネジは、殆どすべての眼鏡に存在するから、眼鏡用アタッチメントを眼鏡に対して取付ける際に丁番のネジを利用することとすれば、眼鏡用アタッチメントを略すべての眼鏡に取付けられることになる。また、ネジは、何かに対して螺合させることによって固定されるという機能を本質的な機能として有しているため、その本質的な機能を利用すれば、眼鏡用アタッチメント(或いは、眼鏡用アタッチメントを固定するための眼鏡用アタッチメントとネジの間に介在する部品)との固定を行うことは当然に可能となる。
 つまり、本願発明者が得た着想は、眼鏡用アタッチメントを眼鏡に対して取付ける際に丁番のネジを利用するのは、その汎用性、その機能から見て非常に合理的である、というものである。
 以上の着想に基づいて、本願発明者は以下の発明をなした。
 本願発明は、以下に説明するように、第1発明と第2発明に大別される。
 第1発明は以下のようなものである。
 本願発明者が第1発明としてまず提案するのは、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた眼鏡に、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付けるための着脱機構である。
 そして、この着脱機構は、その長さが前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされた、前記丁番の少なくとも一方に取付けられた前記ネジの、前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分に固定された第1部材と、前記眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた、前記第1部材に着脱自在に取付け可能とされた第2部材と、を備えている。
 丁番に取付けられるネジは、従来、丁番に設けられた内部にネジ切りのされた縦方向の孔に、上側(なお、本願における上下、前後、左右の概念は、ユーザが眼鏡を身につけた状態で顔を正面に向けた場合におけるユーザの上下、前後、左右の方向に一致するものとする。)から挿入されるようにされるのが通常であり、さらにその先端は丁番の下面に面一にされるのが通常である。このようなネジは、丁番から露出する部分がないため、第1部材の取付けに利用することは不可能である。
 そこで、本願では、ネジの長さを、上側から丁番の孔に挿入されたネジが丁番を貫き且つその先端が丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くすることにしている。このようなネジを丁番に螺合させると、ネジの先端が丁番の下方から露出する。本願発明では、ネジの丁番の下方から露出した部分にあたる露出部分を利用し、そこに第1部材を固定することとしている。この第1部材は、眼鏡用アタッチメントに設けられた第2部材と着脱自在な固定をできるようにされているので、第1部材を取付けられた眼鏡には眼鏡用アタッチメントを着脱自在に取付けられるようになるというわけである。
 この第1発明の利点は以下にある。
 まず、ほとんどすべての眼鏡が備える丁番のネジを長くするだけで第1部材を眼鏡に取付けられるようになるという利点を挙げられる。しかも、丁番のネジを長くするという改変は、非常に単純であるから技術的な難易度が低く、コスト的にも有利である。また、かかる改変は、既存の眼鏡に対して行なうこともできるから、既存の眼鏡にも第1部材を取付けることが可能となるため、ユーザは自分の既に所有する眼鏡でさえも眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付けることのできる眼鏡に改良できることとなる。
 また、眼鏡用アタッチメントを眼鏡に着脱自在に取付けるための部材を第1部材と第2部材に分けることにより、第1部材を小さくすることができるという利点もこの発明には存在する。眼鏡用アタッチメントを眼鏡に着脱自在に取付けるための部材を第1部材と第2部材に分けることにより、着脱機構が求められる機能のうち最小限のものを第1部材に割振れば良いこととなるため、第1部材を小さくできるようになるのである。第1部材は基本的に、眼鏡に対して恒久的に固定される。しかし、上述のようにファッション性が要求されることの多い眼鏡では、第1部材が大きく目立つものであるとそれを眼鏡に取付けることに嫌悪感を持つユーザが存在することが予想される。そのような事情があるから、第1部材を小さくできるという上述の利点は非常に大きな意味を持つことになる。
 なお、第1部材は、2つの丁番のそれぞれに設けられた2つのネジの双方に取付けることもできるし、2つのネジの一方のみに取付けることもできる。必要に応じて、第1部材を1つ又は2つ、眼鏡に取付ければよい。なお、第1部材が取付けられない方のネジは、従来同様の長さとしておいてもよい。この場合のネジは、従来同様その先端が丁番の下面に面一となる。
 第1部材のネジへの取付けは、ネジの露出部分を利用して行なわれるのであればどのようにして行なわれてもよい。
 第1部材のネジへの取付けは、例えば、以下のように行うことができる。
 例えば、前記第1部材は、前記ネジの前記露出部分を貫通させる貫通孔を備えた板状の貫通板を備えているとともに、前記貫通孔は前記ネジと螺合可能にその内周面にネジ切りがなされており、前記第1部材は、前記ネジを前記貫通孔を貫通させつつ前記貫通孔に螺合させることにより、前記ネジの前記露出部分に固定されている、という構造を採用することができる。この場合には、ネジが持つ何かと螺合できるという機能を利用して、ネジの露出部分を第1部材が備える貫通板と螺合させる。
 或いは、前記第1部材は、前記ネジの前記露出部分を貫通させる貫通孔を備えた板状の貫通板を備えており、前記第1部材は、前記貫通孔を貫通させた前記ネジの前記露出部分に螺合させたナットの上面と、前記丁番の下面とにより前記貫通板を挟持させることによって前記ネジの前記露出部分に固定されている、という構造を採用することができる。なお、この場合には、貫通孔の内周にはネジ切りが行なってある必要はない。この場合には、ネジが持つ何かと螺合できるという機能を利用して、ネジの露出部分をナットと螺合させる。この構造を採用すると、ネジの径が異なっても第1部材のネジへの固定を行えるようになるという利点がある。丁番に螺合させられるネジは眼鏡によって異なる場合があるが、この構造ではネジに合わせたナットを準備するだけで第1部材のネジへの固定を行えるようになる。ナットは、その孔がナットの厚さ方向で貫通している必要は必ずしもない。例えば、袋ナットのような、孔が貫通しない構造が採用されていてもよい。
 ナットを用いてネジに第1部材を固定する構造を採用した場合には、更に以下のような構造を採用することができる。その構造では、前記貫通孔は、それを貫通させた前記ネジとの間に隙間が生じるような大きさ、形状とされているとともに、前記ナットは、前記隙間に入り込むナット部と、前記隙間に入り込まない程度の大きさ、形状とされたフランジ部と、を備えるものとされており、前記貫通孔に挿入された前記ナット部を前記ネジの前記露出部分に螺合させた状態で、前記フランジ部の上面と前記丁番の下面とにより前記貫通板を挟持させることによって、前記ネジの前記露出部分に前記第1部材を固定するようになっている。この場合に用いられるナットは、フランジ付ナットとも呼ばれるものであるが、このようなナットを用いても、ネジに第1部材を取付けることができる。なお、ナット部の孔は、フランジ部を貫通していてもいなくてもよい。
 フランジ付ナットとも呼ばれる上述の如きフランジ部を備えるナットを用いる場合、前記フランジ部は、前記隙間に入り込まず且つユーザが容易に指で摘むことのできる程度の大きさ、形状とすることができ、そうすることにより、指で摘んだ前記フランジ部を任意の方向に回転させることにより、ユーザが、前記ナット及び前記第1部材を前記ネジに対して着脱することができるようにすることができる。上述したように、第1部材は眼鏡に恒久的に取付けるのが基本であるが、このような構造を採用すれば、眼鏡に対して第1部材を着脱することができるようになる。第2部材及びそれを備える眼鏡用アタッチメントは、上述したように必要に応じて第1部材及びそれを備える眼鏡に対して自由に着脱できる。しかしながら、その眼鏡と組合わせて眼鏡用アタッチメントを利用することがなくなった場合等ある程度長期間第1部材が不要になる場合や、或いは如何に小さいとはいえ第1部材が眼鏡に取付けられていることが気になるユーザにとっては、第1部材を眼鏡から取外せるという構成は、利益があると考えられる。もっとも、かかる利益は、上述の如きフランジ部を備えたナットを用いて初めて奏されるものではなく、前記第1部材が、前記ネジの前記露出部分に対して着脱自在に固定されるようになっていれば他の構造によっても得られるものである。
 なお、第1部材を丁番のネジに対して着脱自在に固定するようにするのであれば、第1部材と第2部材の固定は必ずしも着脱自在なものとする必要はない。第1部材を丁番のネジに対して着脱自在に固定するのであれば、眼鏡から眼鏡用アタッチメントを取外す場合には、第1部材を眼鏡のネジから取外すことによって、第1部材と第2部材と眼鏡用アタッチメントとを眼鏡からまとめて取り外せばよいからである。第1部材と第2部材の固定を着脱自在にしないのであれば、第1部材は必ずしも小さくする必要はないし、また、第1部材と第2部材を一体とすることすら可能である。
 上述したように、第1部材は、主にファッション上の理由からなるべく小さくするのがよい。また、眼鏡に取付けられる(しかも恒常的に取付けられる可能性が高い。)ものであるから軽量であるのが好ましい。
 ファッション面をより考慮するのであれば、第1部材は、前記眼鏡を平面視した場合の前記眼鏡の両テンプルに挟まれた部分に収まるようになっているのが好ましい。眼鏡のテンプルに挟まれた部分に第1部材が収まることになれば、第1部材の取付けられた眼鏡をユーザがかけていたとしても、レンズ或いは存在するのであればフレームや智の背後に、また、眼鏡を装着しているユーザの側面から見た場合にはテンプルの背後に第1部材が位置することになるから、第三者から第1部材の存在を気取られない可能性が高くなる。
 第1部材は、テンプルに近い範囲、例えば、テンプルから10mm以内、好ましくは6mm以内の範囲に収まるようにするのが好ましい。このような第1部材であれば目立たず、また、第1部材をネジに取付けた状態の眼鏡をユーザが掛けた場合であってもユーザの顔に干渉しにくいからである。前記第1部材は、前記眼鏡を正面から見た場合の前記眼鏡の智の背後に位置するようにすると更によい。このようにすると、第三者から第1部材の存在をより気取られなくなる。第1部材は、前記眼鏡を側面視した場合の前記ネジよりも前方の位置に位置するようにすることができる。これも第三者から第1部材の存在をより気取られなくするのに有用である。また、第1部材は、眼鏡のレンズの上下方向の高さの範囲内に収まるようにするのが良い。これも第三者から第1部材の存在をより気取られなくするのに有用である。
 第1部材と第2部材の着脱自在な固定は、どのような構成によって実現されてもよい。
 例えば、着脱自在なボールジョイントにより、第1部材と第2部材を着脱自在に固定できるようにすることが可能である。この場合には、第1部材と第2部材の一方に、ボールジョイントを構成するためのボールを、第1部材と第2部材の他方にボールを収納する凹面を備えた部材を設ける。
 或いは、前記第1部材は、前記ネジに略平行であり、少なくともその上端に開口を備えた筒を備えており、前記第2部材は、その下端から前記筒に挿入可能な棒と、前記棒の上端と前記眼鏡用アタッチメントとを接続する接続部材とを備えており、前記第2部材は、前記棒をその下端から前記筒に挿入するとともに、前記接続部材の一部を前記筒の上端の前記開口の周囲に係止させることにより、前記第1部材に取付けられるようになっている、という構造を採用することができる。この場合、第2部材は、第2部材及び眼鏡用アタッチメントの重さにより、第1部材に取付けられることになる。また、前記第1部材は、前記ネジに略平行であり、少なくともその上端に開口を備えるとともに、その内部下方に係止部を備えた筒を備えており、前記第2部材は、その下端から前記筒に挿入可能な棒を備えており、前記第2部材は、前記棒をその下端から前記筒に挿入するとともに、その先端を前記係止部に係止させることにより、前記第1部材に取付けられるようになっている、という構造を採用することもできる。この場合にも、第2部材は、第2部材及び眼鏡用アタッチメントの重さにより、第1部材に取付けられることになる。この場合の係止部は、例えば、筒の下端に設けられた蓋乃至底とすることができる。
 筒と棒を用いた上述の構造は、筒と棒の第1部材と第2部材に対する関係を逆にすることができる。例えば、前者の場合であれば、前記第1部材は、略垂直方向に伸びる棒と、前記棒の下端と前記貫通板とを接続する接続部材とを備えており、前記第2部材は、少なくともその下端に開口を備えた筒を備えており、前記第2部材は、前記棒をその上端から前記筒に挿入するとともに、前記筒の下端の前記開口の周囲を前記接続部材の一部に係止させることにより、前記第1部材に取付けられるようになっている、という構造に変更可能である。後者の場合であれば、前記第1部材は、略垂直方向に伸びる棒を備えており、前記第2部材は、少なくともその上端に開口を備えるとともに、その内部下方に係止部を備えた筒を備えており、前記第2部材は、前記棒をその下端から前記筒に挿入するとともに、その先端を前記係止部に係止させることにより、前記第1部材に取付けられるようになっている、という構造に変更可能である。
 上述の筒と棒を用いた構造では、棒は、筒の上端の開口にその下端から挿入されたが、棒を筒の下端の開口にその上端から挿入することも可能である。もっともこの場合には、棒の筒からの抜けを防止する必要がある。例えば、前記第1部材は、前記ネジに略平行であり、少なくともその下端に開口を備えた筒を備えており、前記第2部材は、その上端から前記筒に挿入可能な棒を備えており、前記筒、前記棒の少なくとも一方には、前記棒をその上端から前記筒に挿入した状態で前記棒を前記筒に着脱自在に固定する抜止機構が設けられており、前記第2部材は、前記棒をその上端から前記筒に挿入した状態で、前記抜止機構の機能により、前記第1部材に取付けられるようになっている、という構造を採用することができる。この場合でも、筒と棒の第1部材と第2部材に対する関係を逆にすることができる。筒と棒の関係を逆にした場合、前記第1部材は、略垂直方向に伸びる棒を備えており、前記第2部材は、少なくともその下端に開口を備え、前記棒をその上端から受入れ可能な筒を備えており、前記筒、前記棒の少なくとも一方には、前記棒をその上端から前記筒に挿入した状態で前記棒を前記筒に着脱自在に固定する抜止機構が設けられており、前記第2部材は、前記棒をその上端から前記筒に挿入した状態で、前記抜止機構の機能により、前記第1部材に取付けられるようになっている、という構造となる。
 これらの場合の抜止機構は筒から棒が抜け落ちることを防止でき、且つ必要な場合には筒から棒を抜けさせることができるのであれば、どのような構造であっても構わない。例えば、前記筒は、円筒であり、且つ前記筒の内部の空間に連通する切欠を備えており、前記筒の外周には、前記切欠を介して前記筒の内部の空間にその一部が入り込んでいるリング状のバネであるリングバネが嵌められており、前記棒は前記筒の内部の空間と略同径の円柱であり、前記棒を前記筒に挿入した場合に前記切欠に対応することが予定された部分に溝が設けられており、前記棒を前記筒に挿入した場合に、前記筒の内部の空間に入り込んでいる前記リングバネが前記溝に嵌合することにより、前記棒を前記筒に固定できるようになっているとともに、前記棒に下向きの力を加え、前記リングバネの弾性力に抗して前記リングバネを前記溝から外すことにより、前記棒の前記筒に対する固定を解除できるようにすることで、前記リングバネと前記溝を、前記棒を前記筒に着脱自在に固定する抜止機構として機能させられるようになっている、という構造を採用することができる。
 或いは、第1部材と第2部材の着脱自在な固定には、磁石を利用することができる。例えば、前記第1部材と前記第2部材の一方は磁石である第1磁石を、前記第1部材と前記第2部材の他方は、前記第1磁石と吸着しあう磁石である第2磁石又は前記第1磁石と吸着しあう磁性材をそれぞれ備えており、前記第1部材と前記第2部材の一方に設けられた第1磁石と、前記第1部材と前記第2部材の他方に設けられた前記第2磁石又は磁性材とを吸着させることにより、前記第1部材を前記第2部材に着脱自在に取付けられるようになっている、という構造を採用することができる。さもなくばこれに代えて、前記第1部材は、前記ネジに略平行である棒状の棒状体を備えており、前記第2部材は、前記棒状体の長さだけ間隔を空けて互いに対向する対向部材を備えており、前記棒状体の両端と前記対向部材の双方の一方に前記第1磁石が、前記棒状体の両端と前記対向部材の双方の他方に前記第2磁石又は磁性材が設けられている、という構造を採用することもできる。
 本願発明者は、また、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた眼鏡と、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムを構成するための眼鏡を第1発明の一態様として提案する。この発明によっても、第1発明の着脱機構と同様の効果を得られる。
 この眼鏡は、その長さが前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされた、前記丁番の少なくとも一方に取付けられた前記ネジの、前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分に固定された第1部材を備えており、前記第1部材が、前記眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第2部材に着脱自在に取付け可能とされている。
 なお、この眼鏡の第1部材は第1発明の着脱機構における眼鏡に用いられていたものと同様のものとすることができる。
 本願発明者は、また、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた眼鏡と、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムを構成するための眼鏡用アタッチメントを第1発明の一態様として提案する。この発明によっても、第1発明の着脱機構と同様の効果を得られる。
 この眼鏡用アタッチメントは、第2部材を備えており、前記第2部材が、その長さが前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされた、前記丁番の少なくとも一方に取付けられた前記ネジの、前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分に固定された第1部材に、着脱自在に取付け可能とされている。
 なお、この眼鏡用アタッチメントの第2部材は第1発明の着脱機構における眼鏡用アタッチメントに用いられていたものと同様のものとすることができる。
 本願発明者は、また、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた眼鏡と、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムを第1発明の一態様として提案する。この発明によっても、第1発明の着脱機構と同様の効果を得られる。
 眼鏡システムに含まれる前記眼鏡は、その長さが前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされた、前記丁番の少なくとも一方に取付けられた前記ネジの、前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分に固定された第1部材を備えており、眼鏡システムに含まれる前記眼鏡用アタッチメントは、前記第1部材に着脱自在に取付け可能とされた第2部材を備えている。
 なお、この眼鏡システムに含まれる第1部材と第2部材は、第1発明の着脱機構における第1部材と第2部材と同様のものとすることができる。
 本願発明者は、また、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた既存の眼鏡であり、前記ネジの下端が前記丁番の下面と略面一にされたものを、眼鏡と、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムを構成するための眼鏡に加工する方法を第1発明の一態様として提案する。
 その方法は、前記ネジのうちの少なくとも一方を、その長さが前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされた長ネジに交換し、前記長ネジの前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分に、前記眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第2部材に着脱自在に取付け可能とされた第1部材を取付ける、加工方法である。このようにすることで、既存の眼鏡を第1発明の眼鏡に加工できる。
 次に、本願の第2発明について説明する。
 第2発明は、第1発明と大きく変わるものではない。第2発明も、第1発明と同様に、ネジの露出部分を利用することにより、第1発明と同様の利益を得られるものとなっている。
 上述したように第1発明では、第1部材を丁番のネジ(の露出部分)に対して恒久的に固定するのが基本であるが、第1部材をネジに対して着脱自在とすることができ、且つその場合における第1部材は第2部材と必ずしも着脱自在とする必要がないということについて述べた。
 簡単にいうと、第2発明は、着脱自在となっていない一体とされた第1部材と第2部材をまとめて第3部材と呼ぶこととするとともに、眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第3部材をネジの露出部分に着脱自在に取付けられるようにしたものに相当する。
 本願発明者は、第2発明として、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた眼鏡に、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付けるための着脱機構であって、その長さが前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされた、前記丁番の少なくとも一方に取付けられた前記ネジの、前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分に着脱自在とされた、前記眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第3部材を備えているものを提案する。
 この着脱機構は、第1発明と同様、ほとんどすべての眼鏡が備える丁番のネジを長くするだけで、第3部材を備える眼鏡用アタッチメントを眼鏡に取付けられるようになるという利点を持つ。これは、既存の眼鏡に第2発明の着脱機構を応用するにもネジの交換という最小限の改変を行なえば良いということを意味する。もっとも、第2発明の着脱機構は、第1部材と第2部材を一体とした第3部材を用いるものであるから、第3部材の小型化は難しくなる。しかしながら、第2発明では、眼鏡用アタッチメントを眼鏡から取り外すときには第3部材も眼鏡用アタッチメントと共に取外されるため、第3部材の大きさはユーザにとって問題とならない。
 第2発明の着脱機構の第3部材をネジの露出部分に対して着脱自在とするための構造は、第1発明の場合の第1部材とネジの場合と同様、どのようなものであってもよい。例えば、前記第3部材は、前記ネジの前記露出部分を貫通させる貫通孔を備えた板状の貫通板を備えていてもよく、その場合、前記第3部材は、前記貫通孔を貫通させた前記ネジの前記露出部分に螺合させたナットの上面と、前記丁番の下面とにより前記貫通板を挟持させることによって前記ネジの前記露出部分に固定されるようにされており、且つ前記ナットは、ユーザが前記ネジに対する着脱を容易に行えるような形状にされていてもよい。
 ナットが用いられる上述の場合であれば、前記貫通孔は、それを貫通させた前記ネジとの間に隙間が生じるような大きさ、形状とされているとともに、前記ナットは、前記隙間に入り込むナット部と、前記隙間に入り込まない程度の大きさ、形状とされたフランジ部と、を備えるものとすることができる。この場合、前記貫通孔に挿入された前記ナット部を前記ネジの前記露出部分に螺合させた状態で、前記フランジ部の上面と前記丁番の下面とにより前記貫通板を挟持させることによって、前記ネジの前記露出部分に前記第3部材を固定する。この発明は、第1発明におけるフランジ付ナットを用いる場合に相当する。
 いわゆるフランジ付ナットを用いる場合、前記フランジ部は、前記隙間に入り込まず且つユーザが容易に指で摘むことのできる程度の大きさ、形状とされており、指で摘んだ前記フランジ部を任意の方向に回転させることにより、ユーザが、前記第3部材を前記ネジに対して着脱することができるようにすることができる。
 本願発明者は、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた眼鏡と、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムを構成するための眼鏡を第2発明の一態様として提案する。この眼鏡によっても、第2発明と同様の作用効果を得られる。
 この眼鏡は、前記ネジのうちの少なくとも一方の長さが、前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされ、前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分を有するようにされており、当該露出部分に、前記眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第3部材を着脱自在に取付けられるようにされている。
 なお、第2発明の眼鏡と第1発明の眼鏡の構成には、実質的な差はない。第2発明の眼鏡は、第1発明の眼鏡と同様のものとすることができ、第2発明の眼鏡に組合わせて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第3部材は、第2発明の着脱機構における第3部材と同様のものとすることができる。
 本願発明者は、また、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた眼鏡と、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムを構成するための眼鏡用アタッチメントを第2発明の一態様として提案する。この発明によっても、第2発明の着脱機構と同様の効果を得られる。
 この眼鏡用アタッチメントは、前記眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第3部材を備えており、前記第3部材が、その長さが前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされた、前記丁番の少なくとも一方に取付けられた前記ネジの、前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分に、着脱自在に取付け可能とされている。
 なお、第2発明の眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第3部材は、第2発明の着脱機構における第3部材と同様のものとすることができる。
 本願発明者は、また、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた眼鏡と、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムを第2発明の一態様として提案する。この発明によっても、第2発明の着脱機構と同様の効果を得られる。
 この眼鏡システムでは、前記眼鏡が備える前記ネジのうちの少なくとも一方の長さが、前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされ、当該ネジは、前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分を有するようにされており、前記眼鏡用アタッチメントは、前記露出部分に着脱自在に取付け可能とされた第3部材を備えている。
 なお、第2発明の眼鏡システムの眼鏡、及び第3部材はそれぞれ、第2発明で説明した眼鏡、及び第3部材と同じものとすることができる。
 本願発明者は、また、その一部を縦方向に貫くネジを取付けられたテンプル取付け用の丁番を左右に一対備えた既存の眼鏡であり、前記ネジの下端が前記丁番の下面と略面一にされたものを、眼鏡と、前記眼鏡に取付けて用いられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムを構成するための眼鏡に加工する方法を第2発明の一態様として提案する。
 その方法は、前記ネジのうちの少なくとも一方を、その長さが前記丁番を貫き且つその先端が前記丁番の下方から露出する程度に長くされた長ネジに交換し、前記長ネジの前記丁番の下方から露出する部分である露出部分に、前記眼鏡用アタッチメントに取付けられた第3部材を着脱自在に取付け可能とする、加工方法である。このようにすることで、既存の眼鏡を第2発明の眼鏡に簡単に加工できる。
The inventor of the present application has conducted research in order to solve such problems, and has obtained the following idea.
Almost all spectacles are provided with a member called a hinge (hinge) at a portion connecting the spectacle lens and the temple. Hinge is generally at the outer side edge of both lenses in the case of frameless type glasses, and at the outer side edge of the frame in the case of glasses with frames. In any case, almost all glasses are provided. In many cases, the hinge is attached with a screw that penetrates the hinge vertically. The screw passes through the base end of the temple while being fixed to the hinge, and the temple can rotate with respect to the lens of the spectacles around the screw. In other words, the hinge screw is basically indispensable in order to perform the rotational movement with respect to the temple lens, and is present in almost all hinges except for special hinges.
The inventor of the present application paid attention to this hinge screw. Since the screw attached to the hinge exists in almost all spectacles, if the hinge screw is used when attaching the spectacle attachment to the spectacle, the spectacle attachment is attached to almost all spectacles. Will be installed. In addition, since the screw has an essential function of being fixed by being screwed to something, if the essential function is used, an attachment for spectacles (or spectacles for spectacles) is used. Naturally, it is possible to fix the attachment for spectacles for fixing the attachment and a component interposed between the screws.
In other words, the idea obtained by the present inventor is that it is very reasonable to use the hinge screw when attaching the spectacle attachment to the spectacles in terms of its versatility and its function. It is.
Based on the above idea, the present inventor has made the following invention.
The present invention is broadly classified into a first invention and a second invention as described below.
The first invention is as follows.
The inventor of the present application first proposes as spectacles that are used by attaching to a pair of eyeglasses that are provided with a pair of left and right temple hinges attached with screws that penetrate a part of them in the vertical direction. It is an attachment / detachment mechanism for attaching the attachment.
The attachment / detachment mechanism is configured such that the length of the screw attached to at least one of the hinges is such that its length penetrates the hinge and its tip is exposed from below the hinge. A first member fixed to an exposed portion which is a portion exposed from below the number, and a second member attached to the spectacle attachment and detachably attachable to the first member. Yes.
Conventionally, the screws attached to the hinge are inserted into the vertical holes threaded inside the hinge, and the upper side (note that the concept of up / down, front / rear, left / right in this application is that the user wears glasses. When the face is faced to the front, the user's top, bottom, front, back, left, and right directions should be matched.) It is usually made flush. Since such a screw has no portion exposed from the hinge, it cannot be used for mounting the first member.
Therefore, in the present application, the length of the screw is set so that the screw inserted into the hinge hole from the upper side penetrates the hinge and its tip is exposed from below the hinge. When such a screw is screwed into the hinge, the tip of the screw is exposed from below the hinge. In the present invention, an exposed portion corresponding to a portion exposed from below the hinge of the screw is used, and the first member is fixed thereto. Since the first member can be detachably fixed to the second member provided on the spectacle attachment, the spectacle attachment can be detachably attached to the spectacles to which the first member is attached. That is why.
The advantages of the first invention are as follows.
First, there is an advantage that the first member can be attached to the spectacles only by lengthening the hinge screw included in almost all spectacles. Moreover, the modification of lengthening the hinge screw is very simple, so the technical difficulty is low and the cost is advantageous. In addition, since the modification can be performed on the existing glasses, the first member can be attached to the existing glasses. Therefore, the user can attach the glasses attachment even with the glasses already owned by the user. The glasses can be improved.
The present invention also has an advantage that the first member can be made smaller by dividing the member for detachably attaching the spectacle attachment to the spectacles into the first member and the second member. By dividing the member for detachably attaching the spectacle attachment to the spectacles into the first member and the second member, it is sufficient to allocate a minimum of functions required for the attaching / detaching mechanism to the first member. Therefore, the first member can be made smaller. The first member is basically permanently fixed to the glasses. However, in the case of eyeglasses that often require fashionability as described above, it is expected that there are users who have an aversion to attaching the first member to the eyeglasses if the first member is highly conspicuous. Because of such circumstances, the above-described advantage that the first member can be made small has a great significance.
The first member can be attached to both of the two screws provided on each of the two hinges, or can be attached to only one of the two screws. If necessary, one or two first members may be attached to the glasses. It should be noted that the screw on which the first member is not attached may have the same length as the conventional one. The tip of the screw in this case is flush with the lower surface of the hinge as in the conventional case.
The first member may be attached to the screw in any way as long as the exposed portion of the screw is used.
For example, the first member can be attached to the screw as follows.
For example, the first member includes a plate-like through plate having a through hole through which the exposed portion of the screw penetrates, and the through hole is screwed on an inner peripheral surface of the first member so as to be screwable with the screw. A structure is employed in which the first member is fixed to the exposed portion of the screw by screwing the screw into the through hole while passing through the through hole. Can do. In this case, the exposed portion of the screw is screwed with the through plate included in the first member by utilizing the function of being able to screw with something that the screw has.
Alternatively, the first member includes a plate-like through plate provided with a through hole through which the exposed portion of the screw passes, and the first member exposes the screw through the through hole. It is possible to adopt a structure in which the through plate is sandwiched between the upper surface of the nut screwed to the portion and the lower surface of the hinge so as to be fixed to the exposed portion of the screw. In this case, the inner periphery of the through hole need not be threaded. In this case, the exposed portion of the screw is screwed with the nut by utilizing the function of being able to screw with something that the screw has. Employing this structure has an advantage that the first member can be fixed to the screw even if the screw diameter is different. Although the screw screwed to the hinge may differ depending on the spectacles, in this structure, the first member can be fixed to the screw only by preparing a nut matched to the screw. The nut does not necessarily have to penetrate through the hole in the nut thickness direction. For example, a structure that does not penetrate the hole, such as a cap nut, may be employed.
In the case of adopting a structure in which the first member is fixed to the screw using a nut, the following structure can be further employed. In the structure, the through hole is sized and shaped so that a gap is formed between the through hole and the screw, and the nut includes a nut portion that enters the gap and the gap. A flange portion having a size and shape not to enter, and the nut portion inserted into the through hole is screwed into the exposed portion of the screw, and the flange portion The first member is fixed to the exposed portion of the screw by sandwiching the through plate between the upper surface of the part and the lower surface of the hinge. The nut used in this case is also called a flanged nut, but the first member can be attached to the screw even if such a nut is used. In addition, the hole of a nut part does not need to penetrate the flange part.
When using a nut having a flange portion as described above, which is also called a flanged nut, the flange portion can have a size and shape that does not enter the gap and can be easily picked by a user with a finger, By doing so, it is possible to allow the user to attach and detach the nut and the first member with respect to the screw by rotating the flange portion picked by a finger in an arbitrary direction. As described above, the first member is basically permanently attached to the glasses, but if such a structure is adopted, the first member can be attached to and detached from the glasses. As described above, the second member and the eyeglass attachment including the second member can be freely attached to and detached from the first member and the eyeglass including the second member as necessary. However, when the first member is no longer necessary for a certain period of time, such as when the eyeglass attachment is no longer used in combination with the eyeglass, or the first member is attached to the eyeglass although it is small. For users who are concerned about this, it is considered that the configuration in which the first member can be removed from the glasses is beneficial. However, this advantage is not achieved for the first time by using the nut having the flange portion as described above, and the first member is detachably fixed to the exposed portion of the screw. If so, it can also be obtained by other structures.
If the first member is detachably fixed to the hinge screw, the first member and the second member do not necessarily have to be detachable. If the first member is detachably fixed to the hinge screw, when the spectacle attachment is removed from the spectacles, the first member and the second member are removed by removing the first member from the spectacle screws. This is because the eyeglass attachment and the eyeglass attachment need only be removed from the eyeglasses. If the fixing of the first member and the second member is not detachable, the first member does not necessarily need to be small, and the first member and the second member can be integrated.
As described above, the first member should be as small as possible mainly for fashion reasons. Moreover, since it is attached to spectacles (and it is highly likely to be attached permanently), it is preferably lightweight.
If a fashion side is considered more, it is preferable that the 1st member is settled in the part pinched | interposed into both the temples of the said spectacles when the said spectacles are planarly viewed. If the first member fits in the portion sandwiched between the temples of the glasses, even if the user wears the glasses with the first member attached, behind the frame or wisdom if there is a lens or In addition, since the first member is located behind the temple when viewed from the side of the user wearing the glasses, there is a high possibility that the presence of the first member will not be taken by a third party. .
The first member is preferably within a range close to the temple, for example, within 10 mm, preferably within 6 mm from the temple. This is because such a first member is not conspicuous, and even when the user wears glasses with the first member attached to a screw, it is difficult to interfere with the user's face. More preferably, the first member is positioned behind the wisdom of the glasses when the glasses are viewed from the front. If it does in this way, the presence of the 1st member will become more unpretentious from a third party. The first member may be located at a position ahead of the screw when the glasses are viewed from the side. This is also useful for making the presence of the first member more unpretentious from a third party. Moreover, it is preferable that the first member be within the range of the height in the vertical direction of the eyeglass lens. This is also useful for making the presence of the first member more unpretentious from a third party.
The detachable fixing of the first member and the second member may be realized by any configuration.
For example, the first member and the second member can be detachably fixed by a detachable ball joint. In this case, one of the first member and the second member is provided with a ball for forming a ball joint, and the other member having a concave surface for storing the ball is provided on the other of the first member and the second member.
Alternatively, the first member includes a cylinder that is substantially parallel to the screw and has an opening at least at an upper end thereof, and the second member includes a rod that can be inserted into the cylinder from the lower end thereof, and the rod A connecting member for connecting the upper end of the eyeglass and the attachment for spectacles, and the second member inserts the rod into the tube from the lower end thereof, and a part of the connecting member is connected to the upper end of the tube. It is possible to adopt a structure in which it is attached to the first member by being locked around the opening. In this case, the second member is attached to the first member due to the weight of the second member and the spectacle attachment. The first member is substantially parallel to the screw, has an opening at least at an upper end thereof, and includes a cylinder having a locking portion at an inner lower side thereof, and the second member extends from the lower end thereof. The second member has a rod that can be inserted into the cylinder, and the second member is inserted into the cylinder from the lower end thereof, and the distal end of the second member is engaged with the engagement portion, whereby the first member is It is also possible to adopt a structure that can be attached. Also in this case, the second member is attached to the first member due to the weight of the second member and the eyeglass attachment. The locking portion in this case can be, for example, a lid or a bottom provided at the lower end of the cylinder.
The above-described structure using the tube and the rod can reverse the relationship of the tube and the rod to the first member and the second member. For example, in the former case, the first member includes a rod that extends in a substantially vertical direction, and a connecting member that connects a lower end of the rod and the through plate, and the second member includes at least A cylinder having an opening at its lower end; and the second member inserts the rod into the cylinder from its upper end, and engages the periphery of the opening at the lower end of the cylinder with a part of the connecting member. By stopping, the structure can be changed to be attached to the first member. In the latter case, the first member is provided with a rod extending in a substantially vertical direction, and the second member is provided with an opening at least at the upper end thereof and a cylinder provided with a locking portion below the inside thereof. The second member is adapted to be attached to the first member by inserting the rod into the cylinder from the lower end thereof and engaging the distal end thereof with the engaging portion. The structure can be changed.
In the structure using the cylinder and the rod described above, the rod is inserted into the opening at the upper end of the tube from its lower end, but it is also possible to insert the rod into the opening at the lower end of the tube from its upper end. In this case, however, it is necessary to prevent the rod from coming off from the cylinder. For example, the first member includes a cylinder that is substantially parallel to the screw and has an opening at least at a lower end thereof, and the second member includes a rod that can be inserted into the cylinder from the upper end thereof. At least one of the cylinder and the rod is provided with a retaining mechanism for detachably fixing the rod to the cylinder in a state where the rod is inserted into the cylinder from its upper end. A structure can be adopted in which the rod is attached to the first member by the function of the retaining mechanism in a state where the rod is inserted into the cylinder from the upper end thereof. Even in this case, the relationship between the first member and the second member of the cylinder and the rod can be reversed. When the relationship between the cylinder and the rod is reversed, the first member is provided with a rod extending in a substantially vertical direction, and the second member is provided with an opening at least at the lower end thereof, and the rod can be received from the upper end thereof. And at least one of the cylinder and the rod is provided with a retaining mechanism for detachably fixing the rod to the cylinder in a state where the rod is inserted into the cylinder from the upper end thereof, The second member is structured to be attached to the first member by the function of the retaining mechanism in a state where the rod is inserted into the cylinder from the upper end thereof.
The retaining mechanism in these cases may have any structure as long as the rod can be prevented from falling out of the tube and, if necessary, the rod can be removed from the tube. For example, the cylinder is a cylinder and includes a notch communicating with the space inside the cylinder, and a part of the cylinder enters the space inside the cylinder via the notch on the outer periphery of the cylinder. A ring spring, which is a ring-shaped spring, is fitted, and the rod is a cylinder having substantially the same diameter as the space inside the tube, and corresponds to the notch when the rod is inserted into the tube. A groove is provided in a predetermined portion, and when the rod is inserted into the cylinder, the ring spring entering the space inside the cylinder is fitted into the groove so that the rod is inserted into the cylinder. The rod can be fixed to the cylinder by applying a downward force to the rod and removing the ring spring from the groove against the elastic force of the ring spring. To Gubane and said groove, said rod being adapted to be caused to function as a retaining mechanism for removably secured to the barrel, it is possible to adopt a structure called.
Alternatively, a magnet can be used to detachably fix the first member and the second member. For example, one of the first member and the second member is a first magnet that is a magnet, and the other of the first member and the second member is a second magnet that is a magnet that adsorbs to the first magnet or A magnetic material that adsorbs to the first magnet; and a first magnet provided on one of the first member and the second member; and provided on the other of the first member and the second member. Further, it is possible to adopt a structure in which the first member can be detachably attached to the second member by adsorbing the second magnet or the magnetic material. Otherwise, instead of this, the first member is provided with a rod-like rod-like body that is substantially parallel to the screw, and the second member is opposed to each other with an interval by the length of the rod-like body. An opposing member, wherein the first magnet is provided at one of both ends of the rod-like body and the opposing member, and the second magnet or magnetic material is provided at the other of both ends of the rod-like body and the opposing member. It is also possible to adopt a structure that is provided.

The spectacle attachment includes a second member, and the second member has a length that is long enough to penetrate the hinge and have a tip exposed from below the hinge. The screw attached to at least one of the screws can be detachably attached to a first member fixed to an exposed portion that is a portion exposed from below the hinge.
The second member of the spectacle attachment can be the same as that used for the spectacle attachment in the attachment / detachment mechanism of the first invention.
The inventor of the present application also combines eyeglasses provided with a pair of left and right temple hinges attached with screws that penetrate a part of the eyeglass in the vertical direction, and an eyeglass attachment used for attaching to the eyeglasses. An eyeglass system is proposed as one aspect of the first invention. Also according to this invention, the same effect as that of the attachment / detachment mechanism of the first invention can be obtained.
The eyeglasses included in the eyeglass system have a length of the screw attached to at least one of the hinges, the length of which extends through the hinge and the tip is exposed from below the hinge, A first member fixed to an exposed portion which is a portion exposed from below the hinge; and the spectacle attachment included in the spectacle system is detachably attachable to the first member. Two members are provided.
The first member and the second member included in this spectacle system can be the same as the first member and the second member in the attachment / detachment mechanism of the first invention.
The inventor of the present application is also an existing spectacle having a pair of left and right hinges to which a screw is attached that penetrates a part of the hinge in the vertical direction, the lower end of the screw being substantially the same as the lower surface of the hinge As one aspect of the first aspect of the present invention, a method of processing the same surface into spectacles for constituting a spectacle system comprising a combination of spectacles and a spectacle attachment used attached to the spectacles is proposed.
In the method, at least one of the screws is replaced with a long screw whose length penetrates the hinge and whose tip is exposed from below the hinge; In the processing method, a first member that is detachably attachable to a second member attached to the spectacle attachment is attached to an exposed portion that is an exposed portion from below the hinge. By doing in this way, the existing spectacles can be processed into the spectacles of the first invention.
Next, the second invention of the present application will be described.
The second invention is not significantly different from the first invention. Similarly to the first invention, the second invention can obtain the same benefits as the first invention by utilizing the exposed portion of the screw.
As described above, in the first invention, the first member is basically permanently fixed to the hinge screw (exposed portion thereof), but the first member is detachable from the screw. It has been described that the first member in this case is not necessarily detachable from the second member.
Briefly speaking, the second invention refers to the first member and the second member that are not removable and collectively referred to as a third member, and the third member attached to the spectacle attachment. Corresponds to a screw that can be detachably attached to the exposed portion of the screw.
As a second invention, the inventor of the present application attaches an eyeglass attachment that is used by attaching to the eyeglasses to a pair of left and right eyeglasses for attaching a temple to which a screw that penetrates a part of the temple in the longitudinal direction is attached. An attachment / detachment mechanism for the screw attached to at least one of the hinges, the length of which extends through the hinge and the tip of the hinge is exposed from below the hinge, The present invention proposes a device including a third member attached to the eyeglass attachment, which is detachable from an exposed portion which is a portion exposed from below the hinge.
Similar to the first invention, this attachment / detachment mechanism has the advantage that the spectacle attachment provided with the third member can be attached to the spectacles only by lengthening the hinge screw included in almost all spectacles. This means that a minimum modification such as screw replacement is required to apply the attaching / detaching mechanism of the second invention to the existing glasses. However, since the attachment / detachment mechanism of the second invention uses a third member in which the first member and the second member are integrated, it is difficult to reduce the size of the third member. However, in the second invention, when the eyeglass attachment is removed from the eyeglasses, the third member is also removed together with the eyeglass attachments, so the size of the third member is not a problem for the user.
The structure for making the third member of the attachment / detachment mechanism of the second invention detachable with respect to the exposed portion of the screw is similar to the structure of the first member and the screw in the case of the first invention. Also good. For example, the third member may include a plate-like through plate having a through hole that penetrates the exposed portion of the screw. In that case, the third member has the through hole penetrated. The nut is fixed to the exposed portion of the screw by sandwiching the through plate between an upper surface of a nut screwed into the exposed portion of the screw and a lower surface of the hinge, and the nut May be shaped so that the user can easily attach and detach the screw.
In the above case where a nut is used, the through hole is sized and shaped so that a gap is generated between the through hole and the screw, and the nut enters the gap. A nut portion and a flange portion having a size and shape not to enter the gap may be provided. In this case, by sandwiching the through plate between the upper surface of the flange portion and the lower surface of the hinge in a state where the nut portion inserted into the through hole is screwed into the exposed portion of the screw, The third member is fixed to the exposed portion of the screw. This invention corresponds to the case of using the flanged nut in the first invention.
When a so-called flanged nut is used, the flange portion has a size and shape that does not enter the gap and can be easily picked by a user with a finger. By rotating in the direction, the user can attach and detach the third member with respect to the screw.
The inventor of the present application combines spectacles having a pair of left and right temple-attached hinges attached with a screw that penetrates a part of the spectacles in the vertical direction, and an spectacle attachment used by attaching to the spectacles. Glasses for configuring the system are proposed as one aspect of the second invention. The same effect as that of the second invention can be obtained with the glasses.
The glasses are exposed such that the length of at least one of the screws is long enough to pass through the hinge and its tip is exposed from below the hinge, and exposed from below the hinge. A third member attached to the spectacles attachment is detachably attached to the exposed portion.
There is no substantial difference between the configuration of the glasses of the second invention and the glasses of the first invention. The glasses of the second invention can be the same as the glasses of the first invention, and the third member attached to the eyeglass attachment used in combination with the glasses of the second invention is the detachable of the second invention. It can be the same as the third member in the mechanism.
The inventor of the present application also combines eyeglasses having a pair of left and right temple mounting hinges attached with screws that penetrate a part of the eyeglass in the vertical direction, and an eyeglass attachment used by attaching to the eyeglasses. An eyeglass attachment for constructing the eyeglass system is proposed as one aspect of the second invention. Also according to this invention, the same effect as the attachment / detachment mechanism of the second invention can be obtained.
The spectacle attachment includes a third member attached to the spectacle attachment, and the third member has a length that penetrates the hinge and a tip that is exposed from below the hinge. The screw attached to at least one of the hinges can be detachably attached to an exposed portion which is a portion exposed from below the hinge.
In addition, the 3rd member attached to the spectacles attachment of 2nd invention can be made into the same thing as the 3rd member in the attachment / detachment mechanism of 2nd invention.
The inventor of the present application also combines eyeglasses having a pair of left and right temple mounting hinges attached with screws that penetrate a part of the eyeglass in the vertical direction, and an eyeglass attachment used by attaching to the eyeglasses. An eyeglass system is proposed as one aspect of the second invention. Also according to this invention, the same effect as the attachment / detachment mechanism of the second invention can be obtained.
In this spectacle system, the length of at least one of the screws included in the spectacles is so long that the hinge penetrates the hinge and its tip is exposed from below the hinge. The eyeglass attachment includes a third member that can be detachably attached to the exposed portion.
The eyeglasses and the third member of the eyeglass system of the second invention can be the same as the eyeglasses and the third member described in the second invention, respectively.
The inventor of the present application is also an existing spectacle having a pair of left and right hinges to which a screw is attached that penetrates a part of the hinge in the vertical direction, the lower end of the screw being substantially the same as the lower surface of the hinge As one aspect of the second aspect of the present invention, a method of processing the same surface into spectacles for constituting a spectacle system comprising a pair of spectacles and a spectacle attachment used by being attached to the spectacles is proposed.

 以下、本発明の第1~第3実施形態を、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
 なお、各実施形態で共通する対象には共通する符号を付し、また、各実施形態において重複する説明は場合により省略するものとする。
≪第1実施形態≫
 第1実施形態について、図1~図7を用いて説明する。
 第1実施形態は、眼鏡と、眼鏡に取付けられる眼鏡用アタッチメントとを組合わせてなる眼鏡システムに関する。第1実施形態の眼鏡用アタッチメントは、小型のディスプレイであるから、眼鏡用アタッチメントを取付けられた眼鏡は、ヘッドマウントディスプレイとして機能することになる。
 後述するように眼鏡には第1部材が、眼鏡用アタッチメントには第2部材が取付けられており、且つ第1部材と第2部材は着脱自在にされている。
 まず、眼鏡に第1部材を取付ける方法を図1a、bを用いて説明する。
 図1a、bは、この実施形態の眼鏡システムに含まれる眼鏡に第1部材を取付ける方法を示す側面図である。図1aの(A)~(C)はいずれも、眼鏡100のテンプル110の間から、右のテンプル110及びその付根付近を見た状態を示している。図1bは、図1aの破線で囲まれた部分を拡大して示す図である。
 図1a、bに示された眼鏡100の構造を概略的に説明する。
 この眼鏡100は、極ありふれた眼鏡である。眼鏡100は、市販の眼鏡であってもよい。この眼鏡は、既に販売されたものでありユーザが所有する既存の眼鏡であるという前提で以下の説明を行なうが、販売前の新品であっても構わない。
 眼鏡100はテンプル110等の僅かな違いを除き略左右対称の構造とされる。上述したように、眼鏡100はテンプル110を備えている。また、眼鏡100は、丁番120を備えている。
 丁番120は、この実施形態ではともに略水平になるようにして、所定の間隔を空けて配された2枚の丁番板121を含んでいる。2枚の丁番板121は、眼鏡100の智130に接続されている。智130と丁番板121は一部材として成形されている場合もあるが、この実施形態では丁番板121は智130とは別部材であり、智130に対してロウ付けなどの適当な方法で固定されている。2枚の丁番板121にはともに、円形の孔122、122が穿たれている。2つの孔122は、同径であり、且つその軸が一直線上に位置するようにされている。2つの孔122の内周面のうち少なくとも下側に位置する丁番板121に穿たれた孔122の内周面には、ネジ切りがなされている。上側の丁番板121に穿たれた孔122の上部は、大径とされている。上側の丁番板121に穿たれた孔122の大径の部分には、後述するネジを螺合させた場合にネジの頭部が収納される。
 平行に配された2枚の丁番板121の間の隙間には、テンプル110に接続されたテンプル板111が挟み込まれている。テンプル板111の厚さは、2枚の丁番板121の間の隙間の幅に略一致している。テンプル板111はテンプル110と一体となっている場合もあるが、この実施形態ではテンプル110とは別部材であり、テンプル110に対してロウ付けなどの適当な方法で接続されている。テンプル板111には孔112が穿たれている。この孔112は、2枚の丁番板121に穿たれた孔122と略同径であるが、その内周面にネジ切りがなされていない。
 テンプル110は、2枚の丁番板121に設けられた2つの孔122と、2枚の丁番板121の間に差込まれたテンプル板111とをまとめて貫くネジ140によって丁番120に回動自在に固定される。ネジ140は、その外周にネジ切りのされた螺合部141と、螺合部141の一端に設けられた頭部142とを備えており、少なくとも下側の丁番板121の孔122に螺合される(上側の丁番板121の孔122の内側にもネジ切りがなされている場合には、ネジ140は、上側の丁番板121の孔122にも螺合される。)。ネジ140の締付け具合を適当に調整してやると、テンプル110のテンプル板111は適度な摩擦抵抗を上下の丁番板121から与えられた状態で、丁番120に固定されることになる。この状態で、テンプル110は、テンプル板111を貫くネジ140を軸として回動できることになる。
 図1a(A)では、ユーザの眼鏡100の丁番120に元々螺合されていた通常のネジ140Aを丁番120から外し、それよりも長いネジ140Bを丁番120に螺合させることを示している。元々丁番120に螺合されていたネジ140Aは、ネジ140Aを丁番120に螺合させた場合に、その螺合部141の先端が下側の丁番板121の下面に略面一になるような長さとなっている。他方、ユーザの眼鏡100の丁番120に新たに螺合させられるネジ140Bの長さは、丁番120に螺合させた場合に、その螺合部141の先端が丁番120の下方に露出する程度に長くされている。丁番120に取付けたネジ140Bの螺合部141のうち、下側の丁番板121の下面から更に下方に突き出た部分が本願発明における露出部分に相当するが、その長さは数mm、例えば2~7mm程度あれば足りる。
 なお、この実施形態では、眼鏡用アタッチメントとの関係による必要性により、左右両方の丁番120に取付けられたネジ140Aを双方とも、ネジ140Bに交換することとしている。
 眼鏡100が新品なのであれば、ネジ140としては当初から長いネジ140Bを使用すればよい。この場合、ネジ140の一方のみを長いネジ140Bとするか、ネジ140の双方を長いネジ140Bとするかは眼鏡用アタッチメントとの関係により決定すればよい。
 眼鏡100の他の部分の構造は、一般的な眼鏡の構造と変わりない。眼鏡100は、図1a、bでは図示を省略されているが、左右のレンズを備えている。左右のレンズは度入りでも度なしでも、有色透明でも無色透明でもよい。左右のレンズはこれも図1a、bでは図示を省略されているがフレームで囲まれている。左右のフレームの外側の部分には、上述した智130が接続されている。また、フレームの内側には、ノーズパッドが設けられており、そして、左右のフレームは、ブリッジで接続されている。もっとも、眼鏡100はフレームレスの眼鏡であっても構わないし、フレームがレンズの一部のみに沿って設けられていても構わない。更に、レンズも左右に分割されていない一枚ものとなっていてもよい。
 要するに、本願発明で用いられる眼鏡には、ネジ140によりテンプル110の接続が行なわれる丁番120を備えていることのみが必要とされ、その他の部分においてはどのような構造が採用されていても構わない。
 図1a(B)にネジ140Aを長いネジ140Bに置換えた後の眼鏡100を示す。
 次いで、この眼鏡100のネジ140Bの露出部分に、図1a(B)に示した第1部材200を取付ける。第1部材200は、必ずしもこの限りではないが、この実施形態では樹脂製であり、一体成形により製造されたものである。
 第1部材200は、円筒形の筒210を備えている。筒210は、その上下の端部ともに開口している。
 筒210の外周面には、板状の接続板220が取付けられている。接続板220にはネジ140Bを貫通させることのできる孔221が穿たれている。この実施形態においては、孔221は、必ずしもこの限りではないが円形であり、その径はネジ140Bの径と略一致するようにされている。なお、孔221の径は、ネジ140Bの径よりも大径でもよい。孔221の径は、一般的な眼鏡の丁番に通常使用されるネジの径よりも大径としておくことができるが、そうすれば1種類の第1部材200で略すべての眼鏡100に対応できることになる。
 第1部材200は、孔221にネジ140Bの露出部分を通した状態で、ネジ140Bに固定される。第1部材200のネジ140Bへの固定は、ナット300を用いて行なわれる。ナット300は、この実施形態では極一般的な六角ナットであり、例えば金属製、或いは樹脂製である。ナット300の内周面には、ネジ140Bの外周面に螺合可能なようにネジ切りがなされている。孔221に第1部材200のネジ140Bの露出部分を通した状態で、ナット300をネジ140Bの螺合部141の先端に螺合させそのまま更に締付けると、接続板220は下側の丁番板121の下面と、ナット300の上面とにより挟持される。これにより、第1部材200は、ネジ140Bに固定される。なお、孔221の大きさ、形状は、下側の丁番板121の下面とナット300の上面とによる接続板220の挟持を妨げないようなものとされている。第1部材200のネジ140Bへの固定が終えられた状態を、図1a(C)に示す。
 なお、第1部材200がネジ140Bに取付けられた状態で、筒210は略垂直になるようになっている。丁番120に含まれる丁番板121は、水平でない場合も存在する。丁番120がそのようなものとなっている場合には、接続板220と筒210の角度を適当に設計しておく(あるいは接続板220と筒210の角度を可変にしておき適当に調整する)ことで、第1部材200がネジ140Bに取付けられた状態の筒210を略垂直に保てるようになる。
 図5に図示するが、ネジ140Bへの固定がなされた第1部材200は、眼鏡を平面視した場合に両テンプル110に挟まれた部分に収まるようになっている。より詳細には、第1部材200はテンプル110から6mmの範囲に収まるようになっており、眼鏡100を正面から見た場合に眼鏡100の智130の背後に位置するようにされている。第1部材200は、また、眼鏡100を側面視した場合にネジ140Bよりも前方に位置するようにされており、第1部材200の上下方向の高さは、眼鏡100のレンズの上下方向の高さの範囲内に収まるようにされている。
 なお、この実施形態では、第1部材200は、左右両方のネジ140Bに取付けられる。
 この実施形態では、接続板220の孔221の内周面にネジ切りがなされていないものとするが、孔221の内周面にはネジ140Bとの螺合を可能とするようなネジ切りがなされていても構わない。そうすれば、ネジ140Bを丁番120に螺合させる場合に、下側の丁番板121の下面にその上面を当接させた接続板220に、ネジ140Bをまとめて螺合させることができる。こうすれば、ナット300を用いずとも、第1部材200のネジ140Bへの固定が実現できる。
 この第1部材200には、ディスプレイである眼鏡用アタッチメント400に取付けられた第2部材500が取付けられる。
 第2部材500の構成について図2、及び図4に基づいて説明する。
 第2部材500は、必ずしもこの限りではないがこの実施形態ではその全体が樹脂製である。
 第2部材500は、円柱形に構成された接続棒510を備えている。接続棒510は、第2部材500の眼鏡用アタッチメント400への接続をなすものであり、その一端が眼鏡用アタッチメント400に接続されている。接続棒510は、その他端で略直方体形状の接続体520に接続されている。接続棒510と接続体520の接続は、接続体520に対する接続棒510の角度を可変にするようになっている。接続体520に対する接続棒510の接続は、ボールジョイントの如き3次元的な角度の変化を許容するようなものであってもよいが、この実施形態では接続棒510は、接続体520に対し接続体520との接続部を中心とした水平方向での回転のみが許容されるようになっている。
 接続体520には、また、板状の部材をクランク状に接続した形状に形成してなるクランク部材530の一端が接続されている。クランク部材530は、必ずしもクランク状の形状とされている必要はないが、第2部材500が第1部材200に取付けられたときに、眼鏡100のテンプル110、智130又はレンズ(及びフレーム)をこれには限られないが、この実施形態では上から跨ぐことができるような形状とされている。クランク部材530と、接続体520の接続は接続体520に対するクランク部材530の角度を可変とするようにされている。この接続は、ボールジョイントの如き3次元的な角度の変化を許容するようなものであってもよいが、この実施形態ではクランク部材530は、接続体520に対し接続体520との接続部を中心とした水平方向での回転のみが許容されるようになっている。
 クランク部材530の他端には、この実施形態では円柱形状とされた棒540が接続されている。棒540の断面形状は、第1部材200が備える筒210の内部空間の断面形状と一致するようにされている。棒540は、必ずしもこの限りではないが、その軸を中心として回転できるような状態でクランク部材530に固定されている。
 第1部材200への第2部材500の取付けは、第2部材500の棒540を第1部材200の筒210に挿し込むことによって行う。かかる挿し込みを行なうと、第2部材500のクランク部材530が第1部材200の筒210の上端と干渉し、クランク部材530が筒210と係止される。この状態で第2部材500は、第1部材200に固定されたことになる。棒540は筒210の内側の空間に隙間無く収納されるので、第2部材500の第1部材200への取付け状態は安定したものとなる。
 なお、第1部材200への第2部材500の取付けは、筒210の内部に、筒210の内部に挿入された棒540の先端と係止し合う係止部を設けることにより行なってもよい。係止部は、例えば、筒210の下端に設けた底とすることができる。筒210よりも棒540の長さを長くしておいた場合、棒540の先端は筒210の底に当接して係止される。このようにして、第2部材500を第1部材200に固定してもよい。
 眼鏡用アタッチメント400の構成を図4を用いて説明する。
 眼鏡用アタッチメント400は、ディスプレイであり、図4(A)の正面図、同(B)の平面図、同(C)の背面図に示されたような形状となっている。
 眼鏡用アタッチメント400は、例えば樹脂製のケース410を備えている。ケース410の背面に、上述した第2部材500が接続されている。第2部材500は左右対称に2つ設けられている。
 ケース410の内部には、いずれも図示を省略するが、小型のディスプレイ装置(例えば液晶ディスプレイ装置)、ディスプレイ装置に画像を表示させるための制御回路、制御回路がディスプレイ装置に画像を表示させるための画像のデータを眼鏡用アタッチメント400の外部から例えば無線で取得するためのインタフェイスが設けられている。ディスプレイ装置に表示された画像の像光が、これも図示を省略のレンズで拡大されユーザの眼へ投影されることで、ユーザはディスプレイ装置に表示された画像を大きな画像として見られることになる。この実施形態では、ディスプレイ装置とレンズは左右両眼のそれぞれ用に一対設けられている。2つのディスプレイ装置からの像光は、ケース410の背面に設けられた2つの開口411からユーザの左右の眼へそれぞれ投影されるようになっている。
 図2(B)に示したようにして2つの第2部材500それぞれを2つの第1部材200に取付けた場合における、眼鏡100及び眼鏡用アタッチメント400の全体図を、図5に示す。
 図5に示すように、眼鏡100に眼鏡用アタッチメント400を取付けると、眼鏡用アタッチメント400は、眼鏡100のレンズの直前に位置することになる。眼鏡用アタッチメント400の位置、角度は、接続体520に対する接続棒510とクランク部材530の角度を調整することにより、調整できる。このとき、眼鏡用アタッチメント400のケース410の背面の左右の開口411はそれぞれ、眼鏡用アタッチメント400を取付けた眼鏡を装着したユーザの左右の眼の正面に位置することになる。眼鏡用アタッチメント400を取付けた眼鏡100はヘッドマウントディスプレイと同等に機能し、ユーザは眼鏡100を装着した状態で画像を見ることができるようになる。
 なお、ユーザは、眼鏡用アタッチメント400の使用を中止する場合等には、眼鏡用アタッチメント400を棒540の長さだけ上に持ち上げる。すると、棒540が筒210から抜け、第1部材200と第2部材500の固定が、ひいては眼鏡100と眼鏡用アタッチメント400の固定が解除される。
<変形例1>
 変形例1の眼鏡システムについて、図3を用いて説明する。
 変形例1の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の眼鏡システムと略同様である。
 変形例1の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の場合と同様、眼鏡100、眼鏡100に取付けられる第1部材200、眼鏡100に第1部材200を取付けるために用いられるナット300、眼鏡用アタッチメント400、眼鏡用アタッチメント400に取付けられる第2部材500を備えている。そして、眼鏡100、眼鏡用アタッチメント400、及びナット300については第1実施形態の場合と変わらず、第1部材200を長いネジ140Bに取付ける方法についても第1実施形態と変わらない。
 また、変形例1の眼鏡システムの第1部材200は、第1実施形態の場合と同様に筒210と接続板220を持ち、変形例1の眼鏡システムの第2部材500は、第1実施形態の場合と同様に、接続棒510と、接続体520と、クランク部材530と、棒540を備えている。これらの構成は第1実施形態の場合と略変わらないが、クランク部材530は、第1実施形態の場合とは異なり、眼鏡100のテンプル100、智130又はレンズ(及びフレーム)の下方を潜るようになっている。
 変形例1の眼鏡システムが第1実施形態の眼鏡システムと実質的に異なるのは、変形例1の眼鏡システムでは、第1実施形態では上側に開口を持った筒210に、その下端から差込まれることとされていた棒540が、その下側に開口を持った筒210にその上端から差込まれることになっている、という点である。また、筒210に差込まれた棒540が筒210から脱落しないように、変形例1では以下の構成が採用されている。
 変形例1の眼鏡システムの筒210の上方には切欠211が設けられている。この切欠211は、筒210の一部を周方向に切り欠いており、筒210の内部の空間と筒210の外部の空間を連通させている。また、変形例1では、筒210の外側にリング状のバネ212が嵌め込まれている。このバネ212は、その一部が切欠211に掛るようになっており、その部分で筒210の内側の空間に入り込んでいる。バネ212の径は筒210の径よりも幾らか小さくなっており、バネ212には常にその径を小さくしようとする弾性力がはたらいている。
 変形例1の眼鏡システムの棒540は、その上方に溝541を備えている。この溝541は棒540の所定の高さに周方向に設けられている。溝541は、棒540の周方向を一回りするように設けられていてもよいが、少なくとも棒540を筒210に差込んだ場合に切欠211に対応する部分に設けられている。
 変形例1の眼鏡システムで、第1部材200と第2部材500を固定するには、第1部材200の下側に開口を持った筒210に、第2部材500の棒540を上端から差込む。棒540を筒210に差込んでいくと、やがて棒540の先端が筒210の中に入り込んでいるバネ212に当る。そのまま棒540を筒210に更に差込んでいくと、バネ212の弾性力に抗してバネ212を押し広げながら棒540は筒210の中を更に進んでいくことになる。やがて、棒540の溝541がバネ212に到達する。溝541がバネ212に到達すると、その縮もうとする弾性力によりバネ212は棒540の溝541に嵌りこむ。バネ212とその溝541が係止し合う状態となった棒540は、筒210から抜けなくなる。このようにして第1部材200と第2部材500の固定が完成される。
 このようにして第1部材200と第2部材500とを固定した状態における眼鏡用アタッチメント400の眼鏡100に対する位置関係は、第1実施形態の場合と同様である。
 ユーザは、眼鏡用アタッチメント400の使用を中止した場合等、眼鏡用アタッチメント400を眼鏡100に取付けておく必要がなくなった場合には、バネ212が溝541から抜けるのに足る程度の強い力をかけて、眼鏡用アタッチメント400を眼鏡100に対して相対的に下に移動させる。そうすると、バネ212の弾性力に抗してバネ212の径が広がり、バネ212が溝541から抜けることになる。更に、眼鏡100を持ち上げるか、眼鏡用アタッチメント400を下に移動させるかすると、棒540が筒210から抜けるので、第1部材200と第2部材500の固定が、ひいては眼鏡100と眼鏡用アタッチメント400の固定が解除される。
 なお、この変形例1では、筒210に差込まれた棒540が筒210から脱落しないようにするという目的を達成するために、筒210の一部を切欠くとともに、筒210にリング状のバネ212を嵌め、また、棒540に溝541を設ける構成を採用していたが、同目的を達成するために、以下のような構成を採用することもできる。
 その構成は、棒540の所定の部分(例えば、棒540の先端)と、筒210の所定の部分(例えば、筒210上端に蓋を設けておいた場合の当該蓋の下面)に、互いに吸着し合う部材を設けておくというものである。互いに吸着しあう部材は、磁石と磁石の組合わせ、或いは磁石と磁石に吸着する金属との組合わせとすることができる。この場合には、棒540を筒210に挿し込んだときに、互いに吸着し合う上述の2つの部材が互いに吸着しあうことにより、棒540が筒210から脱落しないようになる。棒540を筒210から取外すには、吸着しあう2つの部材を互いに離反させる程度の力をかけて、棒540を筒210から抜出せばよい。
<変形例2>
 変形例2の眼鏡システムについて説明する。
 変形例2の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の眼鏡システムと略同様である。
 変形例2の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の場合と同様、眼鏡100、眼鏡100に取付けられる第1部材200、眼鏡100に第1部材200を取付けるために用いられるナット300、眼鏡用アタッチメント400、眼鏡用アタッチメント400に取付けられる第2部材500を備えている。そして、眼鏡100、眼鏡用アタッチメント400、及びナット300については第1実施形態の場合と変わらず、第1部材200を長いネジ140Bに取付ける方法についても第1実施形態と変わらない。
 変形例2の眼鏡システムが第1実施形態の眼鏡システムと実質的に異なるのは、変形例2における筒210と棒540の関係が入代わっているという点である。つまり、変形例2では、筒210が第2部材500に、棒540が第1部材200にそれぞれ設けられている。
 変形例2の眼鏡システムで第1部材200と第2部材500を固定する方法については、筒210と棒540の動きに着目すれば第1実施形態の場合と同様なので説明を省略する。第1部材200と第2部材500の固定を解除する方法についても、同様の理由で説明を省略する。
 なお、上述の相違点を除き変形例2の眼鏡システムは第1実施形態の眼鏡システムと変わらないが、筒210や棒540等が他の部材と干渉するのを防ぐための必要があれば、必要に応じてそれを行なう。例えば、単純に筒210と棒540の関係を入替えただけでは、図2の棒540の位置にある筒210は棒540をその中に差込んでいくと、棒540が筒210に完全に差込まれる前に筒210の外周が丁番120と干渉してしまうため、筒210の長さは棒540の先端から丁番120の上側の丁番板121の上面までの距離よりも短くする必要がある。
 なお、変形例1の眼鏡システムでも、棒540と筒210の関係を逆にすることが可能である。
<変形例3>
 図6を用いて変形例3の眼鏡システムについて説明する。
 変形例3の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の眼鏡システムと略同様である。
 変形例3の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の場合と同様、眼鏡100、眼鏡100に取付けられる第1部材200、眼鏡100に第1部材200を取付けるために用いられるナット300、眼鏡用アタッチメント400、眼鏡用アタッチメント400に取付けられる第2部材500を備えている。そして、眼鏡100、第1部材200、ナット300の構成については、第1実施形態の場合となんら変わりはない。
 変形例3の眼鏡システムでは、第2部材500の構成が第1実施形態の場合と異なっている。
 変形例3の眼鏡システムの第2部材500は、第1実施形態の場合と同様の棒540を備えている。ただし、変形例3の第2部材500は、第1実施形態の場合と異なり、接続棒510と、接続体520と、クランク部材530とを備えない。
 その代わりに、変形例3の第2部材500は、円筒形にされた眼鏡用アタッチメント400の固定に特化した固定板材550及びクランプ560を備える。固定板材550は、その基端を棒540の上端に固定されている。固定板材550の基端側には、その長さ方向に走るスリット551が設けられている。固定板材550の先端側は、図6(B)に示されたように輪状に折り返されており、その先端は、固定板材550の基端側の部分の下方に当接されている。固定板材550の輪状の部分は、そこに嵌め込まれることが予定された眼鏡用アタッチメント400の径よりも僅かに大径とされている。固定板材550の先端付近には、その内周面にネジ切りされた図示せぬ孔が穿たれている。
 クランプ560は、略円筒形の摘み561と、その外周にネジ切りされた摘み561よりも小径とされた円筒形の螺合部562とを備えている。クランプ560は、スリット551を貫通した状態で螺合部562を固定板材550に設けられた上述の孔に螺合させられるようになっている。
 固定板材550に対する眼鏡用アタッチメント400の固定は、固定板材550の輪状の部分に眼鏡用アタッチメント400を通過させた状態で眼鏡用アタッチメント400の固定板材550の輪状の部分に対する前後位置を適当に調整した後、クランプ560を締め込むことで行なう。摘み561を摘んでクランプ560を締め込むと、固定板材550の上下に重なり合った部分がより強く押接され、それにしたがって固定板材550の輪状の部分の径が縮まる。それにより、固定板材550による眼鏡用アタッチメント400の固定が強固なものとなるようにされている。
 なお、円筒形の眼鏡用アタッチメント400の例としては、ユーザの前方を照らすライト、ユーザの前方を撮像する撮像装置、所定のスピーカ(例えば、ユーザが身に付けたイヤホン)に音のデータを出力するオーディオプレイヤ等が考えられる。
 要するに、第2部材500の構成は、眼鏡用アタッチメント400の種類、構成等に応じて、第1部材200との固定に必要な部分を除いて適当に変形できるのである。
 第1部材200と第2部材500の固定、固定解除の方法は第1実施形態の場合と同様である。
 また、この変形例3では、その必要性から、第1部材200、第2部材500ともに1つずつとされているが、これらを2つずつにすることは当然に可能である。
 変形例3に、変形例1、変形例2の構成を組合わせることも当然に可能である。
<変形例4>
 図7を用いて変形例4の眼鏡システムについて説明する。
 変形例4は、変形例3と同様、眼鏡用アタッチメント400の種類、構成に応じて、第1実施形態の第2部材500の構成を変更したものである。
 変形例4の第2部材500は、棒540の上端に、眼鏡用アタッチメント400固定用の板材である固定用板570を備えている。固定用板570は棒540の先端をその基端とし、その先端が眼鏡100のフレームの反対側に位置するようにして、眼鏡100のフレームの上方を跨ぐようにされた略水平の板であり、その先端には、角筒状の固定筒571が備えられている。
 変形例4の眼鏡システムに含まれる眼鏡用アタッチメント400は、ユーザが眼鏡越しに拡大して物を見ることのできるルーペである。このルーペは、板状の基材420を備えており、そこから板状の吊り下げ材421によって拡大鏡422を吊下げた構造となっている。この眼鏡用アタッチメント400は、基材420の両端に固定筒571を貫通させることにより、第2部材500に固定される。
 第1部材200と第2部材500の固定、固定解除の方法は第1実施形態の場合と同様である。
 変形例4に、変形例1、変形例2の構成を組合わせることも当然に可能である。
≪第2実施形態≫
 次に、第2実施形態の眼鏡システムについて、図8~図12を用いて説明する。
 第2実施形態の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の場合と同様、眼鏡100、眼鏡100に取付けられる第1部材200、眼鏡用アタッチメント400、眼鏡用アタッチメント400に取付けられる第2部材500を備えている。
 ただし、第2実施形態の眼鏡システムは第1実施形態の場合と異なり、第1実施形態では六角ナットであったナット300を持たない。
 第2実施形態の眼鏡システムは、また、第1部材200と、第2部材500の構成も第1実施形態の場合と異なる。
 第2実施形態の眼鏡システムにおける第1部材200は、図8に示したような形状をしている。第1部材200は、必ずしもこの限りではないが、樹脂製の一体成形品である。第2実施形態の第1部材200は、楕円状の第1係止片230と、円形の第2係止片240とを、90度捻った状態で、断面矩形の板状の接続片250により接続した形状とされている。
 第1係止片230には、必ずしもこの限りではないがこの実施形態では円形とされた第1孔231が穿設されており、第2係止片240には必ずしもこの限りではないがこの実施形態では円形とされた第2孔241が穿設されている。
 第2実施形態の第1部材200は、第1実施形態で用いられたナット300とは異なる図9に示した如き形状のフランジ付ナット600を用いて、第1実施形態で用いられていたものと同様の長いネジ140Bに固定される。フランジ付ナット600は、必ずしもこの限りではないが円形で且つ板状に形成のフランジ部610と、円筒形の螺合筒620とを同軸で備えている。
 フランジ部610は、指で摘むのが容易なように構成されており、例えばその直径は8mm±4mm程度である。
 螺合筒620の内部の孔621の内周面にはネジ切りがされている。孔621は、この実施形態ではフランジ部610をも貫くようにされているが、必ずしもそうなっている必要はない。
 第1部材200は、フランジ付ナット600の螺合筒620を第1係止片230の第1孔231を貫通させた状態でネジ140Bに螺合させることでネジ140Bに固定される。フランジ付ナット600のフランジ部610の上面と、丁番120の下側の丁番板121の下面との間で、第1係止片230を挟み込むことにより、ネジ140Bに第1部材200を固定するのである。それが可能なように、第1孔231の径は、螺合筒620の外径よりも大きくされている。なお、フランジ付ナット600のフランジ部610の径の具体的な数値は上述した通りであるが、フランジ付ナット600をネジ140Bに固定する又はフランジ付ナット600をネジ140Bから取外す作業を行なう際にユーザがフランジ付ナット600を摘み易くするために、フランジ付ナット600の径は、フランジ付ナット600をネジ140Bに固定した状態で平面視した場合に、第1係止片230からその一部が食み出るようにされている。
 第1部材200の第2係止片240の第2孔241には、ボール受け580が接続される。ボール受け580は、図10に示したような形状に構成されている。ボール受け580は、必ずしもこの限りではないが、樹脂製の一体成形品である。ボール受け580は、円柱形状の軸材581と、後述するボール部の形状に対応した略半球状の穴である受け穴582を備えた受け部583とを備えている。
 軸材581の基端は、第1部材200の第2孔241に挿入される。軸材581の基端の径は、第1部材200の第2孔241と略同じであり、軸材581の基端を第1部材200の第2孔241に挿入すると軸材581は、第2孔241に対して所望の角度で位置決めさせるべく摺動させることは可能であるものの、第2孔241との角度を固定できる程度の固さで第2孔241にきつく嵌り合う。
 ボール受け580の受け穴582には、眼鏡100との組合わせによりヘッドマウントディスプレイを構成することになるディスプレイである眼鏡用アタッチメント400に取付けられたボール430を嵌め込むことができる。図11に示したように、この実施形態では、必ずしもこの限りではないがボール430は球状であり、円柱状の接続棒431を介して眼鏡用アタッチメント400に固定されている。ボール430と、受け部583の組合わせにより、ボールジョイントが構成される。
 眼鏡100に眼鏡用アタッチメント400を取付けた状態の斜視図を図12に示す。
 この実施形態では、上述のようにしてネジ140Bに取付けられた第1部材200に、ボール受け580を介して、眼鏡用アタッチメント400が取付けられる。
 その状態で、ユーザは、眼鏡用アタッチメント400の鍵型に曲げられた先端部分に仕込まれたディスプレイ装置からレンズを介して照射される像光により、ディスプレイ装置に表示された画像を見ることができるようになる。眼鏡用アタッチメント400とユーザの眼の位置関係が適切でない場合には、ボール430と受け部583により形成されるボールジョイントの機能、及び軸材581の第2孔241に対する摺動により眼鏡用アタッチメント400の位置を調整可能である。
 眼鏡用アタッチメント400の使用が必要なくなったとき、ユーザは、ボール受け580を第1部材200から外す。或いは、ユーザは、フランジ付ナット600をネジ140Bから外して、第1部材200ごと眼鏡用アタッチメント400を眼鏡100から外す。軸材581の基端を第1部材200の第2孔241から外せないような構成にすることも可能である。この場合には、眼鏡用アタッチメント400の使用が必要なくなったユーザは、フランジ付ナット600をネジ140Bから外して、第1部材200ごと眼鏡用アタッチメント400を眼鏡100から外す。
≪第3実施形態≫
 第3実施形態の眼鏡システムについて、図13及び図14を用いて説明する。
 第3実施形態の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の眼鏡システムと略同様である。
 第3実施形態の眼鏡システムは、第1実施形態の場合と同様、眼鏡100、眼鏡100に取付けられる第1部材200、眼鏡100に第1部材200を取付けるために用いられるナット300、眼鏡用アタッチメント400、眼鏡用アタッチメント400に取付けられる第2部材500を備えている。そして、眼鏡100、眼鏡用アタッチメント400、及びナット300については第1実施形態の場合と変わらず、第1部材200を長いネジ140Bに取付ける方法についても第1実施形態と変わらない。
 但し、第3実施形態の眼鏡システムの第1部材200の構成は、第1実施形態の場合と若干異なる。第3実施形態の眼鏡システムの第1部材200は、図14の拡大図に示されたように第1実施形態の場合と同様の接続板220を備えるが、第1実施形態で存在した筒210を備えない。その代わり、第3実施形態の第1部材200は、ネジ140Bへ第1部材200を取付けた際に略垂直に伸びることになる円柱形状の磁石部材260を備える。磁石部材260は、その上下両端に磁石261を備えている。
 第3実施形態の眼鏡システムの第2部材500は、眼鏡用アタッチメント400の一部となっている。
 第3実施形態の眼鏡システムの眼鏡用アタッチメント400は、ユーザに瞬きを促すことによりドライアイなどを防ぐための疲労予防具となっている。
 疲労予防具である眼鏡用アタッチメント400は、ケース440と、ユーザがそれを通して外界を見るレンズ部450とを備える。レンズ部450は、眼鏡用アタッチメント400を眼鏡100に取り付けたときに、眼鏡100のレンズのうちの一方(この実施形態では右側)の直前に、レンズに略平行な状態で位置するようになっている。ケース440は、ユーザの瞬目の検出の処理、検出されたユーザの瞬目の状態に基づくユーザの瞬目の回数が所定の基準より少なくなっているかの判定の処理、ユーザの瞬目の回数が所定の基準より少なくなっていると判定した場合に、レンズ部450を通してのユーザの視界を通常時より見づらくするような変化をレンズ部450に生じさせる処理、及び視界が見づらくなっているときにユーザの瞬目を検出した場合に、レンズ部450に変化を生じさせる処理を解除させてユーザの視界を回復する処理、を実行する回路を内蔵する。これら処理のうち、ユーザの瞬目の検出は、例えばケースに内蔵の小型のデジタルカメラで撮像したユーザの目の画像に対して画像処理を行なうことにより実現できる。例えば、黒目の面積がある基準値よりも小さくなった場合に、ユーザが瞬目をしたと判定できる。それ以降の各処理は、上述の回路で実行することができる。回路は例えば、CPU、ROM、RAM等を含む一般的なものとすることができる。
 このような眼鏡用アタッチメント400を使用すると、ユーザの瞬目の回数が少なくなった場合に、レンズ部450から見た視界が見づらくなるため、それを疎ましく感じるユーザに、瞬目を行わせることができるようになる。これにより、ユーザの瞬目の回数をある程度の数以上に保てるようになる。視界を見づらくする処理は、その目的が達成されるのであれば、どのようなものであってもよい。例えば、視界を見づらくする処理は、視界を遮光するようになっていてもよい。このような遮光は、例えば、レンズ部450を高分子の液晶複合膜とし、電圧をかけられた透明な状態と、電圧をかけられていない光を散乱させる白濁の状態とを切り換えられるようにすることによって実現可能である。また、レンズ部450のユーザの視界の妨げとなる部分に所定の絵柄を表示したり、更にはその絵柄を移動させるようになっていてもよい。
 ケース440は、平面視した場合にL型に曲げられており、その後方に伸びる部分に、略水平に張出した板状の吸着板441を備えている。吸着板441は、磁石と吸着する磁性体か、或いは、磁石部材260の上下に配された上述の磁石261と吸着しあう磁石442を備えている。
 眼鏡用アタッチメント400は、上側の吸着板441と下側の吸着板441を、磁石部材260を上下から挟み込むようにして近づけ、上側の吸着板441と下側の吸着板441を磁石部材260の両端にそれぞれ吸着させることにより、眼鏡100に対して適当な位置に位置決めした状態で、眼鏡100に固定される。
 眼鏡用アタッチメント400を使用する必要がなくなったら、吸着板441を磁石部材260との間に生じた吸着力に抗して磁石部材260から取外せばよい。この実施形態の場合には、第1部材200は眼鏡100に残ることになる。
 なお、第3実施形態では、磁石部材260の上下両端に磁石261を、上側及び下側の吸着板441に磁石261と吸着可能な磁石442又は磁性体をそれぞれ配することとしていたが、上側及び下側の吸着板441に磁石を、磁石部材260の上下両端に吸着板441の磁石と吸着可能な磁石又は磁性体を配するようにしても構わないのは当然である。

<< First Embodiment >>
The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
1st Embodiment is related with the spectacles system which combines spectacles and the attachment for spectacles attached to spectacles. Since the spectacles attachment of the first embodiment is a small display, the spectacles attached with the spectacles attachment function as a head-mounted display.
As will be described later, a first member is attached to the spectacles, a second member is attached to the spectacle attachment, and the first member and the second member are detachable.
First, a method for attaching the first member to the glasses will be described with reference to FIGS.
1a and 1b are side views showing a method of attaching a first member to spectacles included in the spectacle system of this embodiment. (A) to (C) of FIG. 1 a show a state where the right temple 110 and the vicinity of the root thereof are viewed from between the temples 110 of the glasses 100. FIG. 1b is an enlarged view showing a portion surrounded by a broken line in FIG. 1a.
The structure of the glasses 100 shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b will be schematically described.
The glasses 100 are very common glasses. The glasses 100 may be commercially available glasses. The following description will be given on the assumption that the glasses are already sold and are existing glasses owned by the user, but they may be new before sale.
The eyeglasses 100 have a substantially symmetrical structure except for a slight difference such as the temple 110. As described above, the glasses 100 include the temple 110. The eyeglasses 100 include a hinge 120.
In this embodiment, the hinge 120 includes two hinge plates 121 arranged at a predetermined interval so as to be substantially horizontal. The two hinge plates 121 are connected to the wisdom 130 of the glasses 100. Although the wi 130 and the hinge plate 121 may be formed as a single member, in this embodiment, the hinge plate 121 is a separate member from the wi 130, and an appropriate method such as brazing is applied to the wi 130. It is fixed with. Both of the two hinge plates 121 are provided with circular holes 122 and 122. The two holes 122 have the same diameter, and their axes are positioned on a straight line. Of the inner peripheral surfaces of the two holes 122, at least the inner peripheral surface of the hole 122 formed in the hinge plate 121 located on the lower side is threaded. The upper portion of the hole 122 formed in the upper hinge plate 121 has a large diameter. The screw head is housed in the large-diameter portion of the hole 122 formed in the upper hinge plate 121 when a screw to be described later is screwed.
A temple plate 111 connected to the temple 110 is sandwiched between the two hinge plates 121 arranged in parallel. The thickness of the temple plate 111 substantially matches the width of the gap between the two hinge plates 121. The temple plate 111 may be integrated with the temple 110, but in this embodiment, it is a separate member from the temple 110 and is connected to the temple 110 by an appropriate method such as brazing. A hole 112 is formed in the temple plate 111. The hole 112 has substantially the same diameter as the hole 122 formed in the two hinge plates 121, but the inner peripheral surface thereof is not threaded.
The temple 110 is connected to the hinge 120 by a screw 140 that penetrates the two holes 122 provided in the two hinge plates 121 and the temple plate 111 inserted between the two hinge plates 121 together. It is pivotally fixed. The screw 140 includes a screwing portion 141 threaded on the outer periphery thereof and a head 142 provided at one end of the screwing portion 141, and is screwed into at least the hole 122 of the lower hinge plate 121. (If the screw is also cut inside the hole 122 of the upper hinge plate 121, the screw 140 is also screwed into the hole 122 of the upper hinge plate 121). If the tightening condition of the screw 140 is appropriately adjusted, the temple plate 111 of the temple 110 is fixed to the hinge 120 in a state where an appropriate frictional resistance is applied from the upper and lower hinge plates 121. In this state, the temple 110 can be rotated around the screw 140 penetrating the temple plate 111.
FIG. 1A shows that the normal screw 140A originally screwed to the hinge 120 of the user's glasses 100 is removed from the hinge 120, and a longer screw 140B is screwed to the hinge 120. ing. The screw 140 </ b> A originally screwed to the hinge 120 is substantially flush with the lower surface of the lower hinge plate 121 when the screw 140 </ b> A is screwed to the hinge 120. It is such a length. On the other hand, the length of the screw 140 </ b> B that is newly screwed into the hinge 120 of the user's glasses 100 is such that the tip of the screwing portion 141 is exposed below the hinge 120 when screwed into the hinge 120. It has been long enough to do. Of the threaded portion 141 of the screw 140B attached to the hinge 120, the portion protruding further downward from the lower surface of the lower hinge plate 121 corresponds to the exposed portion in the present invention, but its length is several mm, For example, about 2 to 7 mm is sufficient.
In this embodiment, both the screws 140A attached to the left and right hinges 120 are replaced with the screws 140B due to the necessity due to the relationship with the eyeglass attachment.
If the eyeglasses 100 are new, the screw 140B may be a long screw 140B from the beginning. In this case, whether only one of the screws 140 is the long screw 140B or both of the screws 140 is the long screw 140B may be determined according to the relationship with the spectacles attachment.
The structure of the other part of the glasses 100 is not different from the structure of general glasses. Although not shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the eyeglasses 100 include left and right lenses. The left and right lenses may be either transparent or colored, transparent or colorless and transparent. Although the left and right lenses are not shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, they are surrounded by frames. The above-described wisdom 130 is connected to the outer portions of the left and right frames. A nose pad is provided inside the frame, and the left and right frames are connected by a bridge. However, the eyeglasses 100 may be frameless eyeglasses, or the frame may be provided along only a part of the lens. Furthermore, the lens may be a single lens that is not divided into left and right.
In short, the eyeglasses used in the present invention need only include a hinge 120 to which the temple 110 is connected by the screw 140, and any other structure is adopted. I do not care.
FIG. 1 a (B) shows the spectacles 100 after the screws 140 </ b> A are replaced with long screws 140 </ b> B.
Next, the first member 200 shown in FIG. 1 a (B) is attached to the exposed portion of the screw 140 </ b> B of the glasses 100. The first member 200 is not necessarily limited to this, but is made of resin in this embodiment and is manufactured by integral molding.
The first member 200 includes a cylindrical tube 210. The cylinder 210 is open at both upper and lower ends.
A plate-like connection plate 220 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 210. The connection plate 220 has a hole 221 through which the screw 140B can be passed. In this embodiment, the hole 221 is circular, although not necessarily limited thereto, and the diameter thereof is substantially the same as the diameter of the screw 140B. The diameter of the hole 221 may be larger than the diameter of the screw 140B. The diameter of the hole 221 can be made larger than the diameter of a screw normally used for a hinge of a general spectacle, but in that case, one kind of first member 200 can correspond to almost all spectacles 100. It will be possible.
The first member 200 is fixed to the screw 140B in a state where the exposed portion of the screw 140B is passed through the hole 221. The first member 200 is fixed to the screw 140B using the nut 300. In this embodiment, the nut 300 is a very general hexagon nut, and is made of, for example, metal or resin. The inner peripheral surface of the nut 300 is threaded so that it can be screwed onto the outer peripheral surface of the screw 140B. When the nut 300 is screwed into the tip of the screwing portion 141 of the screw 140B and further tightened as it is while the exposed portion of the screw 140B of the first member 200 is passed through the hole 221, the connecting plate 220 becomes the lower hinge plate. It is sandwiched between the lower surface of 121 and the upper surface of the nut 300. Thereby, the first member 200 is fixed to the screw 140B. The size and shape of the hole 221 are set so as not to prevent the connection plate 220 from being held between the lower surface of the lower hinge plate 121 and the upper surface of the nut 300. A state in which the first member 200 is fixed to the screw 140B is shown in FIG.
Note that the cylinder 210 is substantially vertical in a state where the first member 200 is attached to the screw 140B. The hinge plate 121 included in the hinge 120 may be not horizontal. When the hinge 120 is such, the angle between the connection plate 220 and the tube 210 is designed appropriately (or the angle between the connection plate 220 and the tube 210 is made variable and adjusted appropriately. Thus, the tube 210 with the first member 200 attached to the screw 140B can be kept substantially vertical.
As shown in FIG. 5, the first member 200 fixed to the screw 140 </ b> B fits in a portion sandwiched between both temples 110 when the glasses are viewed in plan. More specifically, the first member 200 falls within a range of 6 mm from the temple 110, and is positioned behind the wisdom 130 of the glasses 100 when the glasses 100 are viewed from the front. The first member 200 is also positioned forward of the screw 140B when the spectacles 100 are viewed from the side, and the vertical height of the first member 200 is the vertical direction of the lens of the spectacles 100. It is designed to be within the height range.
In this embodiment, the first member 200 is attached to both the left and right screws 140B.
In this embodiment, it is assumed that the inner peripheral surface of the hole 221 of the connection plate 220 is not threaded, but the inner peripheral surface of the hole 221 is threaded to enable screwing with the screw 140B. It does not matter if it is made. Then, when the screw 140B is screwed to the hinge 120, the screw 140B can be screwed together to the connection plate 220 whose upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the lower hinge plate 121. . In this way, the first member 200 can be fixed to the screw 140B without using the nut 300.
The first member 200 is attached with a second member 500 attached to an eyeglass attachment 400 that is a display.
The structure of the 2nd member 500 is demonstrated based on FIG. 2 and FIG.
The second member 500 is not necessarily limited to this, but is entirely made of resin in this embodiment.
The second member 500 includes a connecting rod 510 configured in a cylindrical shape. The connecting rod 510 connects the second member 500 to the spectacle attachment 400, and one end thereof is connected to the spectacle attachment 400. The connecting rod 510 is connected to a connection body 520 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape at the other end. The connection between the connecting rod 510 and the connecting member 520 is such that the angle of the connecting rod 510 with respect to the connecting member 520 is variable. Although the connection of the connecting rod 510 to the connecting body 520 may be such that a three-dimensional angle change such as a ball joint is allowed, in this embodiment, the connecting rod 510 is connected to the connecting body 520. Only rotation in the horizontal direction around the connecting portion with the body 520 is allowed.
One end of a crank member 530 formed by connecting a plate-like member into a crank shape is connected to the connection body 520. The crank member 530 does not necessarily have a crank shape, but when the second member 500 is attached to the first member 200, the temple 110, the wisdom 130 or the lens (and the frame) of the glasses 100 is attached. Although not restricted to this, it is set as the shape which can straddle from the top in this embodiment. The connection between the crank member 530 and the connection body 520 is made such that the angle of the crank member 530 with respect to the connection body 520 is variable. This connection may be such that a three-dimensional angle change such as a ball joint is allowed, but in this embodiment, the crank member 530 provides a connection portion between the connection body 520 and the connection body 520. Only rotation in the horizontal direction around the center is allowed.
A rod 540 having a cylindrical shape in this embodiment is connected to the other end of the crank member 530. The cross-sectional shape of the rod 540 is made to match the cross-sectional shape of the internal space of the cylinder 210 provided in the first member 200. The rod 540 is not necessarily limited to this, but is fixed to the crank member 530 so as to be rotatable about its axis.
The second member 500 is attached to the first member 200 by inserting the rod 540 of the second member 500 into the cylinder 210 of the first member 200. When such insertion is performed, the crank member 530 of the second member 500 interferes with the upper end of the cylinder 210 of the first member 200, and the crank member 530 is locked to the cylinder 210. In this state, the second member 500 is fixed to the first member 200. Since the rod 540 is stored in the space inside the cylinder 210 without a gap, the mounting state of the second member 500 to the first member 200 is stable.
The attachment of the second member 500 to the first member 200 may be performed by providing a locking portion that locks the tip of the rod 540 inserted into the cylinder 210 inside the cylinder 210. . The locking portion can be, for example, a bottom provided at the lower end of the tube 210. When the length of the rod 540 is longer than that of the tube 210, the tip of the rod 540 comes into contact with and is locked to the bottom of the tube 210. In this way, the second member 500 may be fixed to the first member 200.
The configuration of the eyeglass attachment 400 will be described with reference to FIG.
The eyeglass attachment 400 is a display, and has a shape as shown in the front view of FIG. 4A, the plan view of FIG. 4B, and the rear view of FIG.
The spectacle attachment 400 includes a case 410 made of resin, for example. The second member 500 described above is connected to the back surface of the case 410. Two second members 500 are provided symmetrically.
Although not shown in the inside of the case 410, a small display device (for example, a liquid crystal display device), a control circuit for displaying an image on the display device, and a control circuit for displaying an image on the display device For example, an interface for acquiring image data from the outside of the spectacle attachment 400 by radio is provided. The image light of the image displayed on the display device is enlarged by a lens (not shown) and projected onto the user's eyes, so that the user can see the image displayed on the display device as a large image. . In this embodiment, a pair of display device and lens is provided for each of the left and right eyes. Image light from the two display devices is projected onto the left and right eyes of the user from two openings 411 provided on the back surface of the case 410.
FIG. 5 shows an overall view of the spectacles 100 and the spectacle attachment 400 when the two second members 500 are attached to the two first members 200 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the spectacle attachment 400 is attached to the spectacles 100, the spectacle attachment 400 is positioned immediately before the lens of the spectacles 100. The position and angle of the spectacle attachment 400 can be adjusted by adjusting the angles of the connecting rod 510 and the crank member 530 with respect to the connecting body 520. At this time, the left and right openings 411 on the back surface of the case 410 of the spectacle attachment 400 are respectively positioned in front of the left and right eyes of the user wearing the spectacles to which the spectacle attachment 400 is attached. The spectacles 100 to which the spectacle attachment 400 is attached functions in the same manner as a head-mounted display, and the user can view an image while wearing the spectacles 100.
When the user stops using the spectacle attachment 400, the user lifts the spectacle attachment 400 by the length of the bar 540. Then, the rod 540 is removed from the tube 210, and the first member 200 and the second member 500 are fixed, and the glasses 100 and the eyeglass attachment 400 are fixed.
<Modification 1>
The eyeglass system of the modification 1 is demonstrated using FIG.
The eyeglass system of Modification 1 is substantially the same as the eyeglass system of the first embodiment.
As in the case of the first embodiment, the eyeglass system of Modification 1 includes the eyeglasses 100, the first member 200 attached to the eyeglasses 100, the nut 300 used for attaching the first member 200 to the eyeglasses 100, and the eyeglass attachment 400. The second member 500 attached to the eyeglass attachment 400 is provided. And about the spectacles 100, the spectacles attachment 400, and the nut 300, it is not different from the case of 1st Embodiment, and the method of attaching the 1st member 200 to the long screw 140B is not different from 1st Embodiment.
Further, the first member 200 of the eyeglass system of Modification 1 has the tube 210 and the connection plate 220 as in the case of the first embodiment, and the second member 500 of the eyeglass system of Modification 1 is the first embodiment. Similarly to the case, the connecting rod 510, the connecting body 520, the crank member 530, and the rod 540 are provided. Although these configurations are not substantially different from the case of the first embodiment, the crank member 530 is different from the case of the first embodiment so that it dive below the temple 100, the wisdom 130 or the lens (and the frame) of the glasses 100. It has become.
The eyeglass system according to the first modification is substantially different from the eyeglass system according to the first embodiment. In the eyeglass system according to the first modification, the eyeglass system according to the first embodiment is inserted into the tube 210 having an opening on the upper side from the lower end. The rod 540 that was supposed to be inserted is inserted into the cylinder 210 having an opening on the lower side from the upper end thereof. Further, in the first modification, the following configuration is adopted so that the rod 540 inserted into the cylinder 210 does not fall off from the cylinder 210.
A notch 211 is provided above the tube 210 of the eyeglass system of the first modification. The notch 211 has a part of the cylinder 210 cut away in the circumferential direction, and connects the space inside the cylinder 210 and the space outside the cylinder 210. In the first modification, a ring-shaped spring 212 is fitted on the outside of the tube 210. A part of the spring 212 is engaged with the notch 211, and the part enters the space inside the cylinder 210. The diameter of the spring 212 is somewhat smaller than the diameter of the tube 210, and the spring 212 is always subjected to an elastic force to reduce the diameter.
The rod 540 of the eyeglass system of Modification 1 has a groove 541 above it. The groove 541 is provided at a predetermined height of the rod 540 in the circumferential direction. The groove 541 may be provided so as to go around the circumferential direction of the rod 540, but is provided at a portion corresponding to the notch 211 at least when the rod 540 is inserted into the tube 210.
In order to fix the first member 200 and the second member 500 in the eyeglass system of the first modification, the rod 540 of the second member 500 is inserted into the cylinder 210 having an opening on the lower side of the first member 200 from the upper end. Include. When the rod 540 is inserted into the tube 210, the tip of the rod 540 eventually comes into contact with the spring 212 entering the tube 210. When the rod 540 is further inserted into the cylinder 210 as it is, the rod 540 further advances in the cylinder 210 while pushing the spring 212 against the elastic force of the spring 212. Eventually, the groove 541 of the bar 540 reaches the spring 212. When the groove 541 reaches the spring 212, the spring 212 is fitted into the groove 541 of the rod 540 by the elastic force to be contracted. The rod 540 in which the spring 212 and the groove 541 are engaged with each other cannot be removed from the tube 210. In this way, the fixing of the first member 200 and the second member 500 is completed.
The positional relationship of the spectacle attachment 400 with respect to the spectacles 100 in a state where the first member 200 and the second member 500 are fixed in this manner is the same as in the case of the first embodiment.
When it is no longer necessary for the user to attach the spectacle attachment 400 to the spectacles 100, such as when the user stops using the spectacle attachment 400, the user applies a strong force sufficient to allow the spring 212 to come out of the groove 541. Thus, the spectacle attachment 400 is moved downward relative to the spectacles 100. Then, the diameter of the spring 212 increases against the elastic force of the spring 212, and the spring 212 comes out of the groove 541. Further, when the eyeglasses 100 are lifted or the eyeglass attachment 400 is moved downward, the rod 540 comes out of the tube 210, so that the first member 200 and the second member 500 are fixed, and consequently the eyeglasses 100 and the eyeglass attachment 400. Is released.
In the first modification, in order to prevent the rod 540 inserted into the cylinder 210 from falling out of the cylinder 210, a part of the cylinder 210 is cut out and the cylinder 210 has a ring shape. The configuration in which the spring 212 is fitted and the groove 541 is provided in the rod 540 is adopted. However, in order to achieve the same purpose, the following configuration can also be adopted.
The configuration is such that a predetermined portion of the rod 540 (for example, the tip of the rod 540) and a predetermined portion of the tube 210 (for example, the lower surface of the cover when a lid is provided at the upper end of the tube 210) are adsorbed to each other. It is to provide a member to meet. The members that are attracted to each other can be a combination of a magnet and a magnet, or a combination of a magnet and a metal that is attracted to the magnet. In this case, when the rod 540 is inserted into the cylinder 210, the above-mentioned two members adsorbing each other adsorb each other, so that the rod 540 does not fall out of the cylinder 210. In order to remove the rod 540 from the cylinder 210, it is only necessary to pull out the rod 540 from the cylinder 210 by applying a force enough to separate the adsorbing two members from each other.
<Modification 2>
A spectacle system of Modification 2 will be described.
The eyeglass system of Modification 2 is substantially the same as the eyeglass system of the first embodiment.
As in the case of the first embodiment, the eyeglass system of Modification 2 includes eyeglasses 100, a first member 200 attached to the eyeglasses 100, a nut 300 used for attaching the first member 200 to the eyeglasses 100, and an eyeglass attachment 400. The second member 500 attached to the eyeglass attachment 400 is provided. And about the spectacles 100, the spectacles attachment 400, and the nut 300, it is not different from the case of 1st Embodiment, and the method of attaching the 1st member 200 to the long screw 140B is not different from 1st Embodiment.
The eyeglass system of the second modification is substantially different from the eyeglass system of the first embodiment in that the relationship between the tube 210 and the bar 540 in the second modification is changed. That is, in the second modification, the cylinder 210 is provided on the second member 500 and the bar 540 is provided on the first member 200.
The method of fixing the first member 200 and the second member 500 in the eyeglass system of Modification 2 is the same as in the case of the first embodiment when attention is paid to the movement of the tube 210 and the rod 540, and the description thereof is omitted. Description of the method for releasing the fixation of the first member 200 and the second member 500 is omitted for the same reason.
The eyeglass system of Modification 2 is the same as the eyeglass system of the first embodiment except for the above differences, but if it is necessary to prevent the tube 210, the rod 540, etc. from interfering with other members, Do it as needed. For example, if the relationship between the tube 210 and the rod 540 is simply changed, the tube 210 at the position of the rod 540 in FIG. 2 is completely inserted into the tube 210 when the rod 540 is inserted therein. Since the outer periphery of the cylinder 210 interferes with the hinge 120 before being inserted, the length of the cylinder 210 needs to be shorter than the distance from the tip of the bar 540 to the upper surface of the hinge plate 121 above the hinge 120. There is.
In the eyeglass system of the first modification, the relationship between the rod 540 and the tube 210 can be reversed.
<Modification 3>
A spectacle system according to Modification 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
The eyeglass system of Modification 3 is substantially the same as the eyeglass system of the first embodiment.
As in the case of the first embodiment, the eyeglass system of Modification 3 includes the eyeglasses 100, the first member 200 attached to the eyeglasses 100, the nut 300 used for attaching the first member 200 to the eyeglasses 100, and the eyeglass attachment 400. The second member 500 attached to the eyeglass attachment 400 is provided. And about the structure of the spectacles 100, the 1st member 200, and the nut 300, it is not different at all from the case of 1st Embodiment.
In the eyeglass system of Modification 3, the configuration of the second member 500 is different from that in the first embodiment.
The second member 500 of the eyeglass system of Modification 3 includes a bar 540 similar to that in the first embodiment. However, unlike the case of the first embodiment, the second member 500 of Modification 3 does not include the connection rod 510, the connection body 520, and the crank member 530.
Instead, the second member 500 of the third modification includes a fixing plate member 550 and a clamp 560 specialized for fixing the eyeglass attachment 400 that is formed into a cylindrical shape. The base of the fixed plate member 550 is fixed to the upper end of the bar 540. A slit 551 that runs in the length direction is provided on the base end side of the fixed plate member 550. The distal end side of the fixed plate member 550 is folded back in a ring shape as shown in FIG. 6B, and the distal end is in contact with the lower portion of the base end side portion of the fixed plate member 550. The ring-shaped portion of the fixed plate member 550 has a slightly larger diameter than the diameter of the spectacle attachment 400 that is scheduled to be fitted therein. In the vicinity of the front end of the fixed plate member 550, a hole (not shown) threaded on the inner peripheral surface is formed.
The clamp 560 includes a substantially cylindrical knob 561 and a cylindrical threaded portion 562 having a smaller diameter than the knob 561 threaded on the outer periphery thereof. The clamp 560 is configured such that the screwing portion 562 is screwed into the above-described hole provided in the fixed plate member 550 while passing through the slit 551.

The first member 200 according to the second embodiment includes a plate-like connection piece 250 having a rectangular cross section in a state in which an elliptical first locking piece 230 and a circular second locking piece 240 are twisted by 90 degrees. It is a connected shape.
Although not necessarily limited to this, the first locking piece 230 is provided with a circular first hole 231 in this embodiment, and the second locking piece 240 is not necessarily limited to this. A second hole 241 that is circular in shape is formed.
The first member 200 of the second embodiment is used in the first embodiment using a nut 600 with a flange as shown in FIG. 9 different from the nut 300 used in the first embodiment. It is fixed to the same long screw 140B. Although not necessarily limited to this, the flanged nut 600 includes a circular flange portion 610 formed in a plate shape and a cylindrical threaded tube 620 coaxially.
The flange portion 610 is configured to be easily picked by a finger, and has a diameter of about 8 mm ± 4 mm, for example.
The inner peripheral surface of the hole 621 inside the threaded cylinder 620 is threaded. In this embodiment, the hole 621 also penetrates the flange portion 610, but this need not necessarily be the case.
The first member 200 is fixed to the screw 140B by screwing the screwing cylinder 620 of the nut 600 with flange through the first hole 231 of the first locking piece 230 with the screw 140B. The first member 200 is fixed to the screw 140B by sandwiching the first locking piece 230 between the upper surface of the flange portion 610 of the flanged nut 600 and the lower surface of the hinge plate 121 below the hinge 120. To do. The diameter of the 1st hole 231 is made larger than the outer diameter of the screwing cylinder 620 so that it is possible. In addition, although the specific numerical value of the diameter of the flange part 610 of the nut 600 with a flange is as above-mentioned, when performing the operation | work which fixes the nut 600 with a flange to the screw 140B, or removes the nut 600 with a flange from the screw 140B. In order to make it easier for the user to pick the flanged nut 600, the diameter of the flanged nut 600 is such that when the flanged nut 600 is fixed to the screw 140 </ b> B in plan view, a part of the diameter is from the first locking piece 230. It is made to eat out.
A ball receiver 580 is connected to the second hole 241 of the second locking piece 240 of the first member 200. The ball receiver 580 is configured in a shape as shown in FIG. The ball receiver 580 is not necessarily limited to this, but is an integrally molded product made of resin. The ball receiver 580 includes a cylindrical shaft member 581 and a receiving portion 583 having a receiving hole 582 that is a substantially hemispherical hole corresponding to the shape of the ball portion described later.
The base end of the shaft member 581 is inserted into the second hole 241 of the first member 200. The diameter of the base end of the shaft member 581 is substantially the same as that of the second hole 241 of the first member 200. When the base end of the shaft member 581 is inserted into the second hole 241 of the first member 200, the shaft member 581 is Although it can be slid to be positioned at a desired angle with respect to the two holes 241, it fits tightly into the second hole 241 with such a hardness that the angle with the second hole 241 can be fixed.
In the receiving hole 582 of the ball receiver 580, a ball 430 attached to the eyeglass attachment 400, which is a display that constitutes a head-mounted display in combination with the eyeglass 100, can be fitted.

A ball joint is configured by a combination of the ball 430 and the receiving portion 583.
FIG. 12 shows a perspective view of the eyeglass 100 with the eyeglass attachment 400 attached thereto.
In this embodiment, the spectacles attachment 400 is attached via the ball receiver 580 to the first member 200 attached to the screw 140B as described above.
In this state, the user can view the image displayed on the display device by the image light emitted through the lens from the display device that is set in the tip portion bent into the key shape of the spectacle attachment 400. It becomes like this. When the positional relationship between the eyeglass attachment 400 and the user's eyes is not appropriate, the eyeglass attachment 400 is caused by the function of the ball joint formed by the ball 430 and the receiving portion 583 and the sliding of the shaft 581 with respect to the second hole 241. Can be adjusted.
When it is no longer necessary to use the spectacle attachment 400, the user removes the ball receiver 580 from the first member 200. Alternatively, the user removes the flanged nut 600 from the screw 140 </ b> B and removes the first member 200 and the spectacle attachment 400 from the spectacles 100. A configuration in which the base end of the shaft member 581 cannot be removed from the second hole 241 of the first member 200 is also possible. In this case, the user who does not need to use the spectacle attachment 400 removes the flanged nut 600 from the screw 140B, and removes the spectacle attachment 400 from the spectacles 100 together with the first member 200.
<< Third Embodiment >>
A spectacle system according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.
The eyeglass system of the third embodiment is substantially the same as the eyeglass system of the first embodiment.
As in the case of the first embodiment, the eyeglass system of the third embodiment includes the eyeglasses 100, the first member 200 attached to the eyeglasses 100, the nut 300 used for attaching the first member 200 to the eyeglasses 100, and the eyeglass attachment. 400, the 2nd member 500 attached to the attachment 400 for spectacles is provided. And about the spectacles 100, the spectacles attachment 400, and the nut 300, it is not different from the case of 1st Embodiment, and the method of attaching the 1st member 200 to the long screw 140B is not different from 1st Embodiment.
However, the configuration of the first member 200 of the eyeglass system of the third embodiment is slightly different from that of the first embodiment. The first member 200 of the eyeglass system of the third embodiment includes a connection plate 220 similar to that of the first embodiment as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 14, but the cylinder 210 existing in the first embodiment. Not equipped. Instead, the first member 200 of the third embodiment includes a cylindrical magnet member 260 that extends substantially vertically when the first member 200 is attached to the screw 140B. The magnet member 260 includes magnets 261 at the upper and lower ends thereof.
The second member 500 of the eyeglass system of the third embodiment is a part of the eyeglass attachment 400.
The spectacles attachment 400 of the spectacle system of the third embodiment is a fatigue prevention tool for preventing dry eyes and the like by prompting the user to blink.
An eyeglass attachment 400 that is a fatigue prevention device includes a case 440 and a lens unit 450 through which a user looks at the outside. When the spectacle attachment 400 is attached to the spectacles 100, the lens unit 450 is positioned in a state substantially parallel to the lens immediately before one of the lenses of the spectacles 100 (right side in this embodiment). Yes. Case 440 includes processing for detecting the user's blink, processing for determining whether the number of blinks of the user based on the detected state of the user's blink is less than a predetermined reference, and the number of blinks of the user When the lens unit 450 is determined to be less than a predetermined reference, a process that causes the lens unit 450 to make a change that makes the user's field of view through the lens unit 450 more difficult to see than normal, and when the field of view is difficult to see When a user's blink is detected, a circuit is built in which a process for causing the lens unit 450 to change is canceled to restore the user's field of view. Among these processes, detection of the user's blink can be realized by performing image processing on an image of the user's eye captured by a small digital camera built in the case, for example. For example, when the area of the black eye becomes smaller than a certain reference value, it can be determined that the user has blinked. Each subsequent process can be executed by the above-described circuit. The circuit may be a general circuit including, for example, a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like.
When such a spectacle attachment 400 is used, when the number of blinks of the user decreases, it becomes difficult to see the field of view viewed from the lens unit 450, so that the user who feels sparse can perform blinks. become able to. As a result, the number of blinks of the user can be kept above a certain number. The process for making it difficult to see the field of view is not particularly limited as long as the object is achieved. For example, the process of making it difficult to see the field of view may block the field of view. For example, the light shielding can be switched between a transparent state in which a voltage is applied and a white turbid state in which light that is not applied with voltage is scattered. This is possible. In addition, a predetermined pattern may be displayed on a portion of the lens unit 450 that hinders the user's field of view, or the pattern may be moved.
The case 440 is bent into an L shape when seen in a plan view, and includes a plate-like suction plate 441 extending substantially horizontally at a portion extending rearward thereof. The attraction plate 441 includes a magnetic body that adsorbs to the magnet, or a magnet 442 that adsorbs to the magnet 261 disposed above and below the magnet member 260.
The spectacles attachment 400 brings the upper suction plate 441 and the lower suction plate 441 closer together so as to sandwich the magnet member 260 from above and below, and the upper suction plate 441 and the lower suction plate 441 are connected to both ends of the magnet member 260. By adsorbing to each other, the eyeglasses 100 are fixed to the eyeglasses 100 while being positioned at appropriate positions with respect to the eyeglasses 100.
When it is not necessary to use the spectacle attachment 400, the suction plate 441 may be removed from the magnet member 260 against the suction force generated between the magnet member 260 and the suction plate 441. In the case of this embodiment, the first member 200 remains on the glasses 100.
In the third embodiment, the magnets 261 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the magnet member 260, and the magnets 442 and magnetic bodies that can be attracted to the magnet 261 are arranged on the upper and lower adsorption plates 441. Of course, a magnet may be disposed on the lower attracting plate 441, and a magnet or a magnetic material that can be attracted to the magnet of the attracting plate 441 may be disposed on both upper and lower ends of the magnet member 260.
