Description

Nature Horner testimony

description

The invention relates to a natural wood product according to the preamble of

Patent claim 1, a temple for a spectacle frame according to the preamble of claim 13, also a center part for a spectacle frame according to the preamble of claim 14 and finally a spectacle frame, comprising two temples and a middle part according to the preamble of claim 15th

It is known, natural horn for particularly exclusive glasses, in particular for the

Manufacture of eyeglass temples and / or to use for the middle part of a spectacle frame. Such spectacle frames made of natural horn are particularly skin-friendly and can be worn free of complaints, especially as it is natural horn is a naturally grown organic material. Such a thing

Natural Hornerzeugnis is also characterized by its individual character, which is very appreciated by many spectacle wearers. Another advantage of

Spectacle frames made of natural horn are their low weight and high strength compared to conventional frames. In addition, they are more antistatic and softer than plastic eyeglass frames. Overall, it is a high quality material, which has a particularly aesthetic structure. The color spectrum of natural horn products ranges from light-transparent to white, brown and anthracite to black. Especially when using natural hair products for spectacle frames, it is desirable that

Naturhornerzeugnis, so for example the eyeglass temple and / or the middle part, with a pattern, an ornament, a logo or the like aesthetic or

to customize. It has been shown that it can come by the constant donning and wiping of the glasses by the wearer to a wear of the ornament, the logo, etc., whereby the pattern and thus ultimately the entire glasses is unsightly. Especially with high-quality and exclusive eyeglass frames made of natural horn, this is particularly disadvantageous.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a natural hair product which may be provided with permanent decorations, patterns and the like without being affected or damaged by the frequent use of the product. To solve this problem, a natural wood product with the features of claim 1 is proposed. The natural wood product of the type claimed here is used in particular for use in spectacle frames and has a first and a second natural horn part, wherein the first natural horn part comprises a first region with at least one processing section. The processing section of the first area is preferably machined by means of a laser and / or by means of a milling tool. According to the invention, the first natural horn part is furthermore connected to the second natural horn part in such a way that a second area of the second natural horn part belongs to the first area of the first area having the at least one processing section

Natural horn part faces. It is preferably provided that the first natural horn part is in contact with the second natural horn part. The advantageous natural hair product of the type claimed here, in particular an element of a spectacle frame, can be provided with a pattern or the like by the present invention without being worn out and becoming unsightly by frequent use, for example by frequent touching of the natural hair product. By virtue of the fact that the pattern is artificially introduced into the natural horn structure of the first natural horn part by means of a laser and the region machined by the laser or the milling cutter is then quasi sealed by being joined to a second natural horn part, the pattern artificially introduced into the natural horn is particularly durable and durable , The risk of wear due to frequent use of Naturhorn product thus does not exist. In addition, a can

Natural hearth product according to the invention by the use of a laser with almost any pattern can be provided. For example, it is also conceivable to make patterns according to the individual wishes of a customer.

It is thus advantageous that the machining cuts in the first region of the first natural horn part can be of any desired design and thus the natural hair product can be optically changed virtually as desired. Moreover, by combining the natural structure of the natural horn and the artificially added pattern by means of a laser or a milling cutter, aesthetically pleasing effects can be realized.

Particularly preferred is a natural hair product, which is characterized in that the first natural horn part and the second natural horn part are glued or glued together. In this way, a permanent connection of the natural horn parts can be ensured so that the natural hair product according to the invention is particularly durable and robust. It is understood that other types of connection conceivable are that ensure an equally reliable connection of natural horn parts.

Also preferred is a natural hair product, which is characterized in that at least the first natural horn part is colored by means of a suitable substance, wherein the first natural horn part can be dyed in any desired color.

Preferably, the first natural horn portion is colored before being processed by the laser or the milling cutter, i. h. before the processing sections are generated.

This makes it possible to color the processing sections in the respective color of the first natural horn part. As a result, the processing sections appear semitransparent, so that the lasered pattern in the first region of the first natural horn part is transparent to the natural structure of the natural horn, with the color previously applied to the first natural horn part virtually shining through the transparent processing section. In this way, the natural hair product, in particular the laser processing sections of the first

Be formed portion of the first natural horn part in almost any color.

Further preference is given to a natural hair product, which is characterized in that the first natural horn part and / or the second natural horn part are made of buffalo horn. Buffalo horn, especially the horns of water buffalo, provide a particularly high quality natural horn, from which finally the natural hair product, in particular a spectacle frame or the like can be made.

Also preferred is a natural wood product, which is characterized in that the at least one processing section of the first natural horn part

formed predetermined pattern, the pattern is to be understood in terms of a structure. The first natural horn part can be provided by the use of a laser or a milling cutter particularly simple, in particular fully automatic, with the laser processing section forming the pattern.

Also, a natural hair product is preferred, which is characterized in that at least the at least one processing section of the first natural horn part is transparent or semitransparent. As already explained above, the first natural horn part can be colored before the machining, which results in a corresponding processing of the first natural horn part in a semi-transparent machining section. However, it can also be provided that the first natural horn part is processed accordingly with the laser and / or the milling cutter, without that it was previously dyed. In this case, the laser-irradiated or milled processing section is transparent from the natural horn structure.

In addition, a natural hair product is preferred, which is characterized in that the second natural horn part is transparent. In this way, the processing section is effectively arranged between the first and the second natural horn part and is visible through the second transparent natural horn part. As a result, the transparent or semitransparent appears

Processing section of the first natural horn part inside, so quasi lying in the Naturhorn product.

Also preferred is a natural hair product, which is characterized in that the first region of the first natural horn part and the second region of the second natural horn part are substantially flat. This is especially advantageous for the use of the natural hair product as eyeglass temple or as a middle part for a pair of spectacles. Particularly preferably, the natural wood product for this purpose, and in particular the first natural horn part and the second natural horn part are formed as thin plates, each having a first and second side. The first and the second natural horn part are then preferably connected to each other inseparably so that the durability of the natural hair product is further improved.

Finally, a natural wood product is preferred, which is polished. In this way, color residues and matted areas of the natural hair product can be removed, in particular when coloring the first natural horn part.

To achieve the above object, a temple for a spectacle frame with the features of claim 13 is also proposed, which consists at least partially of a natural hearth product according to the invention. Preferably, the natural horn parts or the natural hair product are then in the form of eyeglass temples. It is conceivable, the shape of the eyeglass temple after the

To produce the natural hearth product by suitable processing methods, but it is preferably provided that the first and second

Natural horn part before joining the shape of one half of each

having desired eyeglass temple.

To solve this problem, a middle part for a spectacle frame with the features of claim 14 is also proposed, which at least partially a natural hair product according to the invention. Preferably, the natural horn parts or the natural hair product are then formed in the form of the middle part. It is conceivable, the shape of the middle part after the completion of the

Natural Hornerzeugnisses produce by suitable processing methods, but it is preferably provided that the first and second natural horn part already before joining the mold each having a half of the desired central part.

To solve this problem, finally, a spectacle frame with two temples and a central part with the features of claim 15 is proposed, which has a natural hair product according to the invention. By natural hearth product proposed here, it is possible to provide in particular a spectacle frame or eyeglass temple and a middle part, which can have arbitrarily formed, in particular arbitrarily shaped and color-configured patterns, which between the first natural horn part and the second

Natural horn part durable and protected are arranged. Through the use of a laser or a milling cutter, the spectacle frame may be provided with almost any pattern formed by the processing portion of the first portion of the first natural horn portion.

As already mentioned, the first natural horn part and the second natural horn part can be connected to one another as desired. However, it is particularly advantageous if the two natural horn parts are glued or glued together.

Furthermore, it is conceivable not only the first region of the first natural horn part, but also the second region of the second natural horn part with a

Processing section, in the following example only

Laser processing section to be provided and the first and second laser processing sections provided areas of the first and second

Then connect natural horn parts with each other. Furthermore, the second natural horn part does not have to be transparent, but it is conceivable that the second natural horn part is also colored. However, it is particularly advantageous if the second natural horn part is transparent or at least semitransparent, so that the laser processing section of the first natural horn part is visible through the second natural horn part.

The laser processing section of the first region of the first natural horn part preferably extends over the entire first at least in regions Area of the first natural horn part. However, it is also conceivable that the

To provide laser processing section only partially in the first area and to leave the remaining area in its natural form. Of the

Laser processing section can be any imaginable pattern that can be realized with the laser.

The use of a laser is particularly advantageous because a fully automated introduction of the laser processing section into the first region of the first

Natural horn part can be provided. It is conceivable to design a corresponding pattern by means of a computer, so that the laser the corresponding pattern as a laser processing section on the first natural horn part through the

Radiation can transmit. The laser preferably processes only one region or one side of the natural horn part, which then appears on the inside after joining the first or second natural horn part, so that apart from the durability of the pattern, an aesthetically particularly appealing effect is achieved.

The laser processing sections generated by the laser can be flat

be formed or even have contours. It is also conceivable that

Form laser processing sections as an engraving and the engraving before

Painting the two natural horn parts to paint.

The natural hearth product according to the invention is particularly advantageous for use in eyeglass frames, in particular for eyeglass temples or middle parts of

Eyeglass frames, as these are often touched to the user of the spectacle frame. In conventional parts of spectacle frames, one uses on parts of the

Eyeglass frame applied pattern relatively quickly. In contrast, the pattern introduced into the respective natural heartwood product is particularly durable by means of the laser, since it is more or less between the first natural horn part and the second

Natural horn part is arranged protected.

It is understood, however, that the natural wood product according to the present

Invention can be used not only in spectacle frames, but in all conceivable areas, such as jewelry, in which a permanent pattern or the like is to be produced in natural horn. In the following, a method for producing the natural hearth product claimed here is explained by way of example with reference to the production of temples:

First, the natural horn parts are processed so that they are essentially formed as thin, preferably ground plates. For this purpose, the natural horn can be sawn, planed, flat-pressed and ground, for example. Subsequently, the first natural horn part is dyed, if a coloring is desired.

The first natural horn part in the form of the thin plate has a first side and a second side, wherein one of the two sides forms a first region, which is partially processed in a next step with the laser. The first region of the first natural horn part is processed with the laser in this way, i.

irradiated that the desired patterns or the like "stand still", that is, settle from the natural horn structure or, in other words, added to the natural horn structure, whereby the lasered structure is visible from both sides of the first natural horn part of the first natural horn part thus form the laser processing sections, which can be of any desired design and, in particular, cover a large or only a small part of the first area of the first natural horn part.

It will be understood that any laser suitable for the generation of natural horn laser processing sections may be used. In particular, the laser energy must be adjusted accordingly in order to avoid destruction of the natural horn part. The same applies when using a

Milling tool to create the machining section to consider.

Also, the second natural horn part is preferably formed as a thin plate having a first and a second side. One of the two sides forms a second area, which in a next step is connected, in particular glued, to the first area of the first natural horn part having the laser processing section. Because the second natural horn part is preferably transparent, the laser processing section of the first natural horn part is visible from outside through the second natural horn part. Before connecting the two

Natural horn parts, the first and / or the second natural horn part can be dyed. In particular, the laser processing section of the first natural horn part can be colored. The first and second natural horn parts are preferably each half

Temples formed and form after joining a complete temples. The same applies to a middle part of a spectacle frame.

Finally, the finished natural hair product is preferably polished to remove paint residues and frosted spots on the natural hair product.

In summary, the individual steps for producing a

Natural hearth product according to the invention as follows:

- providing a first and a second natural horn part;

generating at least one processing section in a first region of the first natural horn part, in particular by means of a laser and / or a milling tool;

- Connect, in particular bonding of the first natural horn portion with the second natural horn portion such that the at least one processing portion having first portion of the first natural horn portion is in contact with a second portion of the second natural horn portion.

Before the step of connecting the two natural horn parts, at least one of the two natural horn parts can still be dyed.

It is understood that the first and the second natural horn part or their first and second areas need not be flat. However, to create a firm connection between the two parts, the first area of the first should

Naturhornteils and the second region of the second natural horn part to be complementary to each other, so that they are accurately assembled and the first and second area after joining or joining in

continuous surface contact with each other.

Preferably, it is also provided that the first region and the second region of the first and second natural horn parts are identical, d. H. are the same size or have the same outer shape or contour, so that the finished

Naturhorn product has a substantially planar or continuous peripheral surface and no paragraphs or edges arise during the transition from the first to the second natural horn part. It is understood that the contours of the first and second areas must be designed to mirror image. By polishing the Naturhorn product after joining the first and second natural horn parts, the transition between the two parts is practically no longer visible.

Alternatively, it is also conceivable to provide a planar or continuous transition from the first natural horn part to the second natural horn part only after their assembly by a suitable tool, for example a file.

According to the invention, a spectacle frame with two temples and a

Middle part preferably a natural hearth product of the type described above. The eyeglass temple can be connected in a conventional manner by means of hinges with the middle part movable. The natural wood product can be a temples and / or the middle part. It is also conceivable to provide the middle part and the temple piece of one and the same spectacle frame with different patterns.

It is crucial that the natural hair product is formed by the joining of a first and a second natural horn part, wherein at least the first natural horn part has a laser processing section in a first area, and this first area faces a second area of the second natural horn part, preferably in contact therewith ,
