  • a strap around the neck or a chain is often used, which can be connected to the glasses in different ways.
  • US 6 182 334 B1 describes a connection between the tether and the temples by means of a rubber hose, which is pushed over the ends of the Temples.
  • the disadvantage is that the diameter of the hose connections must be matched to the thickness of the eyeglass temple.
  • Other disadvantages are that the connection looks provisional and that the hose pushed onto the temples affects the wearing comfort.
  • the US 2003/0101542 A1 as well as the already mentioned US 6 182 334 B1 have the task of connecting a tether made of woven fabric material with a pair of glasses.
  • the tether is connected via connecting elements with the temples.
  • the attachment to the connecting elements takes place with receiving parts, which are suitable to receive a woven fabric material.
  • the US 2004/0051845 A1 has the task to show a pair of glasses with retractable strap.
  • a tether is shown, which is threaded either in a hollow temples and attached at the end via a reel or is connected with a closure with the temples.

  • tether 5 To make the connection between tether 5 and spectacle frame, consisting of lens frame 3 and the two temples 4, optimally in functional and aesthetic terms are below in the transition region (in Fig. 1 indicated by a double arrow) between bracket 4 and tether 5 a non-detachable (non-detachable) and various releasable connection of the tether 5 with the spectacle frame 3, 4 proposed.

  • the formation of the tether is carried out so that the rigid end of a temples or a connecting element fits well with the sheathing, e.g. elastic material of the tether connects. This is ensured by the fact that the free end of the temple piece or the connecting element has a toothing and additional openings through which the elastic material can connect.
  • this toothing may also be provided by a separate end piece, e.g. made of metal, which is anchored in the temple 4. Due to the permanent Anformung the tether is an integral part of the glasses, resulting in many ways of aesthetic design of glasses and tether.
  • the two temple pieces 4 are continued so that they open directly into a holding band 5, so that the free ends of the holding band 5 are formed directly on the free ends of the temple pieces 4.
  • the transition is preferably accomplished in that the eyeglass temple made of rigid material, such as metal or plastic, are surrounded at the end with the example flexible or elastic plastic of the retaining band.
  • the internal material has a toothing 6 and preferably additionally openings 7, through which the elastic material can connect when it surrounds the rigid material. This can prevent the encasing material from slipping off.

If the glasses 1 without tether 5 are needed, this can be removed by loosening the connection with little force. In addition, the user can be used in terms of material, color and length different straps. Thus, the need of very many people to wear glasses, whether reading glasses, sunglasses or safety goggles always ready to hand, technically simple but effective and creative in design terms can be solved very flexible.

  • plastic is to be used according to the invention, inter alia, also because the tether in one embodiment should be elastic so that you can strip the glasses in the advantageous short strap over the head.
  • the plastics used are elastomers or, better still, thermoplastic elastomers, such as e.g. NBR, considering. These are elastic to process at moderate temperatures, resistant to deformation and aging. Suitable plastics are known from the literature.
  • additional cradles may be included on the front temples to allow two or more positions-rear and front-to attach the tether, depending on whether the hair is worn short or long.
