Description

Glasses TECHNICAL SECTOR The present invention relates to glasses comprising detachable accessories, secured by a novel fastening system. This allows for modification of the glasses' appearance or functionality. STATE OF THE ART The prior art includes the existence of glasses with accessories, which can be aesthetic or functional. For example, so-called "smartglasses." The addition of straps to the temples to secure the glasses is also known. In the first case, all the accessories are fixed and cannot be changed as needed. In the second, the straps are relatively fragile. In either case, this type of accessory is very limited, and it's not possible to switch from one to another to change the aesthetics or functionality of the glasses. The applicants are unaware of any solution to these problems that could be considered similar to the one claimed. BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The invention consists of eyeglasses according to the claims. Their various embodiments solve the problems mentioned above. Specifically, these are glasses of the type that include lenses, a frame, and temples. These temples or the frame have one or more holes, either through or blind, into which one or more stems attached to the body or bodies of the respective accessories are inserted. These holes may be located in a temple sleeve. For example, the body may comprise at least two stems, which are inserted into the holes of one pin or even into holes of both pins. On the other hand, each pin may comprise at least two holes of different shapes or sizes. In one embodiment, the body is formed in two or more detachable parts. To improve the fixation, retention systems can be used on the stems, in the holes, or independently (such as a piece that passes through or hugs the free end of the stem). A preferred example of a retention system is an elastic element, perpendicular to the hole inside the temple or frame. This system is reliable and difficult to damage because it is protected within the body of the temple or frame. Furthermore, if the stem includes a neck or a section of reduced cross-section, the strength of the attachment is improved. Other specific solutions are included in the dependent claims and are described in detail below. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS To complement the description being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is included in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented. Figure 1: perspective view of a first example of implementation. Figure 2: Detail of the tip of an example stem. Figure 3: Side view of an example of a sideburn.

MODES OF REALIZING THE INVENTION Next, a brief description is given of one way of carrying out the invention, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof. Figure 1 shows an example of glasses, comprising lenses with a frame (1) and temples (2). The temples (2) are generally of the type that hooks behind the user's ears, as this is the most common type, but other options exist. The frame (1) or the temples (2) have one or more holes (3), which are usually through holes. However, the holes (3) can also be blind holes. The holes (3) will generally be horizontal when the glasses are worn, but they can also have other orientations. The holes (3) will be transverse when they are on the temples (2). Figure 1 also shows three initial examples of accessories, in this case aesthetic ones. Each accessory comprises a body (4) with a stem (5) that can be inserted into one or more holes (3). Thus, if the accessory is small and lightweight, it will suffice to insert it into one hole (3). If it is somewhat larger, heavier, or requires very precise orientation, the body (4) may need to be inserted into two or more holes (3) of the pin (2), for which it will include the corresponding stems (5). In that case, the holes (3) of the pin (2) may be different in shape or size so that insertion can only be done in a specific orientation. For this purpose, it is convenient that the holes (3) are separated by a standard distance, so that it is easy to design accessories according to the standard separation. The bodies (4) of the accessories may, in turn, consist of two or more parts. Thus, the user can leave one part attached to the glasses and replace only the outermost part, which is particularly applicable when the accessory is purely aesthetic. Furthermore, it also allows for the replacement of components for maintenance. In one embodiment, the detachable part contains one or more batteries that are recharged in a separate device. The holes (3) or the stems (5) preferably have a retention system (6). In one embodiment, the stems (5) have an elastic mechanism, such as a harpoon-like band (Figure 2), which folds towards the stem (5) when sufficient force is applied. Thus, to extract the stem (5), it is necessary to overcome this resistance. Another example of a retention system (6) is a pin through a hole in the tip of the stem (5). A third example of a retention system (6) on the stem is a clamp that can be attached to the free end of the stem (5). In a further embodiment, the retention system (6) includes an additional fastener (8) that is generally inserted from the opposite side of the hole (3) or fitted as an insert when injection molding the frame body (1) or the through-bolt (2), so that it engages with the stem (5) to retain it. The additional fastener (8) can be female, male, or a magnetic system. An example of an additional fastener (8) is a hinge with an additional hole (Figure 6). The hinge is inserted from one side of the bolt (2) or the frame (1), securing it to the frame and providing its additional hole to the accessory. In another embodiment, shown in Figure 3, the retention system (6) is located within the tab (2), preferably being an elastic element transverse to the hole (3), which retracts against a spring (spring, rubber) when the stem (5) is inserted, so that the spring's return force increases friction. The stem (5) may have a neck to aid retention by means of this spring, or a free end with a larger cross-section. This retention system (6) may be located in the additional fixing (8) inserted into the tab (2) or in the frame (1). For example, the additional hole of the hinge may have an internal rubber seal (9) that functions as a retention system (6), for example, an annular seal with a small internal diameter, smaller than the maximum diameter of the stem (5) (Figure 7). Figure 4 shows a different solution, in which the hole (3) is not part of the pin (2) but is attached to it. This is achieved by placing one or more sleeves (7) at various points on the pin (2), with the holes (3) located within the sleeves (7). For example, the sleeve (7) can be made of silicone or another material (resin). In this case, the stem (5) can be T-shaped. The hole (3) can be deformed while the T-piece is inserted, with the arms of the T-piece remaining inside the sleeve, held in place by the silicone. The sleeve (7) can have a retention system (6), which can be of any type. For example, it may be an elastic element on the side of the hole (3), as in the embodiment shown in section in Figures 10 and 11, where an additional fixing (8) inside the sleeve (7) comprises a retention system (6) similar in operation to that of Figure 3.It can be seen that the additional fixing (8) in figure 11 has slots where part of the cover material (7) is inserted, improving the mutual grip. The sheath (7) may have an additional attachment (8) as indicated above, which defines an additional hole, bayonet lock or other retention system (6) for the stem (5) inserted into the hole (3). The retention system (6) can also be a thread, usually female in the hole (3) of the pin (2) or frame (1), but it can be the additional fixing (8) that passes through the hole (3) and is threaded into the body (4) of the accessory. In one embodiment, the retention system (6) may be of the "bayonet" type (Figure 5), where the stem (5) is inserted and rotated to misalign gaps in the hole (3) and projections on the stem (5), being retained by simple friction or aided by an elastic element, such as a rubber surface on the body (4) pressed against the tab (2) or frame (1). The stem (5) of this embodiment may be, for example, as shown in Figure 4. The portion of the stem (5) that creates the bayonet lock may be located inside the tab (2) or the frame (1). In Figure 9, the retention system (6) consists of a magnet assembly on the pin (2), on the frame (1), or on the stem (5), and a second magnet or ferromagnetic piece on the other side. Specifically, the magnet is located at the bottom of the hole (3), which is blind in this case. As mentioned, the accessory can be of any type, whether aesthetic or functional. Examples of functional accessories include strap hooks, flashlights, recorders, geolocation devices, communication systems, alert systems (medical, medication reminders), cameras (10), for example with a phonetic description system for the blind, pointers, or additional lenses (for example, sunglasses, attached to the temples (2) or to the frame (1) on both sides). Where applicable, the accessory may be associated with an application (app) on a mobile phone (11). The accessory can be both functional and aesthetic. For example, the camera housing (10), the pointer, or the geolocation device can be an aesthetic, decorative element. This allows the accessory to double its utility and, in addition, conceal its functional part.
