Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an eyeglass frame designed so that eyeglasses inserted in a breast pocket or the like will not fall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A spectacle frame is a kind of tool for fitting a lens and putting it on a face, and therefore it is required to be easy to put on and to prevent fatigue. In recent years, very light eyeglass frames made of titanium are frequently used, and eyeglasses in which the rim on which the lens is fitted are half rims and the lower side is supported by high tension threads such as water threads are also preferred. On the other hand, there is also known a pair of rimless glasses which is configured by directly screwing both lenses with a connecting member without using a rim and screwing a royloy on the outside of the lens.

This type of rimless glasses that does not use a rim is basically light, and has a large merit that the field of view is wide because there is no rim. On the other hand, glasses are light and easy to wear, and not only have the functionality that they do not get tired even after being worn for a long time, but fashionability is also important because they can be worn on the face. Therefore, various designs have been devised, and secondary processing for decoration is generally performed.

By the way, some people wear these glasses all the time, and others take them out of the glasses case when necessary. When the eyeglasses are removed, it is troublesome to store the eyeglasses in a case, put them in a bag and carry them, and if the eyeglasses are to be temporarily removed from the face, many people put the eyeglasses in their chest pockets. However, the glasses inserted in the chest pocket are not specially fastened and may come off and fall from the pocket and be damaged. If it falls, the lens will crack.

[0005]

When the glasses are temporarily inserted into the chest pocket in this manner, there are the above problems. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem, and provides a spectacle frame that does not fall off even when inserted into a pocket such as a chest.

[0006]

A magnet is fixed to the temple of the spectacle frame of the present invention. The magnets are provided so as to attract each other and to be in close contact with each other when both vines are folded, but if the material of the vines is a magnetic material that is attracted to the magnets, the magnets are fixed to only one of the vines. It The form of the magnet is not particularly limited, and a small magnet may be provided on the surface and the inner surface of the vine so as to project, or may be provided so as not to project from the surface as a part of the vine.

By the way, when the glasses are removed from the face and inserted into a pocket such as a chest, the surface material of the pocket is locked so as to be sandwiched between the folded vines. Since the vine is provided with a magnet on at least one side, both vines sandwich the surface material of the pocket by the magnetic force of the magnet, and the inserted glasses cannot be removed.

By the way, the magnet may be attached to the vine as an attachment provided with a small magnet without being fixed to the vine itself. The means for attaching to the vine is not limited, but the vine can be attached by sandwiching it with a clip, for example. Alternatively, screws may be used. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0009]

1 is an embodiment showing a spectacle frame according to the present invention. The basic form as an eyeglass frame is the same as the conventional one, both rims 1, 1 are brazed and connected by a connecting member 2, and the outside of the rims 1, 1 is a substantially L-shaped end piece 3, 3. It is brazed. 4 vines on 3
Is foldably attached via a hinge 5, and nose pads 6 and 6 are attached to the inner side of the rims 1 and below the connecting member 2.

By the way, the magnets 7, 7 are attached to the temples 4, 4 of the spectacle frame of the present invention so that when the temples 4, 4 are folded, they are attracted to each other and the temples 4, 4 do not open. Become. One of the cranes 4 is provided with a magnet 7 inside,
The other crane 4 is provided with a magnet 7 on the outside.

FIG. 2 shows the case where the spectacle frame is removed from the face and inserted into the chest pocket, and one temple 4a is inserted into the pocket 8 and locked. In this case, the other crane 4
In the state of b, the pocket surface material 9 is sandwiched between the vines 4a and 4b. The magnet 7a attached to the inside of the temple 4a and the magnet 7b attached to the outside of the temple 4b can be attracted to each other with the pocket surface material 9 interposed therebetween.

Since the magnets 7a and 7b attract each other, the glasses 4a and 4b do not come out of the pocket 8 with the pocket surface material 9 sandwiched therebetween. In the figure, the front part 10 of the glasses is outside the pocket 8,
With the front portion 10 stored in the pocket 8, the vine 4
The same applies when a is locked to the pocket surface material 9.

Incidentally, although the magnet 7 attached to the temple 4 may be projected from the surface, it may be flush with the surface without protruding in consideration of the appearance. FIG. 3 shows a case in which the magnet 7 is embedded in the temple 4, which is flush with the surface 11. The crane 4 is not limited to a metal one, and the magnet 7 can be embedded and attached in the same manner in a resin crane.

The spectacle frame is a kind of ornament, and if the spectacle frame is made of metal, noble metal is often used, and a non-magnetic material that does not act on the magnetic force of the magnet is often used as the material. If the crane is used, the magnet 7 may be attached to only one of the cranes. Alternatively, by embedding a magnetic material in a part of a temple made of a non-magnetic material, it can be attracted by a magnet attached to another temple.

The folding order of the two temples 4 and 4 is fixed, and the position where the magnets 7 and 7 are mounted is also determined. However, even if the folding order of both cranes 4 and 4 is reversed, the magnetic force of the magnets acts. As shown in FIG. 4, a through hole is provided in the temple 4,
The magnet 7 can be attached to the hole.

As described above, the eyeglass frame of the present invention is one in which the magnet is attached to the temple, and the following effects can be obtained.

[0017]

Since a magnet is attached to the temple of the spectacle frame of the present invention, both temples are in close contact with each other when folded, and the temple does not flutter. When the glasses are temporarily removed from the face and the vine is locked in a pocket such as a chest, both vines are fastened by sandwiching the pocket surface material. Therefore, the eyeglasses inserted in the pocket do not fall off and can be carried with confidence. Particularly, light glasses of recent years can be stably fixed by the magnet. The glasses inserted into the pockets are easy to take out as needed, and are more convenient than taking them out of the case.
