[0032] (1. First embodiment)

[0033] [1-1. Configuration of goggles according to first embodiment]

[0034] Figure 1 and Figure 2 : is a perspective view showing the appearance of the goggles 100 according to the first embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The goggles 100 shown in FIG. 1 are goggles on which an electronic device 10 such as a smartphone can be mounted and which have a virtual reality function that enables a user to view a VR image provided from the electronic device 10 through a lens. Figure 1 The electronic device 10 is shown in the state of being mounted on the goggles 100, and Figure 2 What is shown in is a state where the electronic device 10 is not mounted to the goggles 100. Note that in the following description, when the electronic device 10 is mounted to the goggles 100, the surface located on the side of the electronic device 10 will be referred to as the "front side", and the surface located on the opposite side of the electronic device 10 will be referred to as the "rear side", and the front-rear direction and the left-right direction are defined based on this.

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The goggles 100 shown in the figure include a holding part 110 that holds a lens, a pad 120 that can be abutted against the user's face, and a mounting part 130 that can mount an electronic device 10 that provides a VR image to the lens. The goggles 100 can change the shape of the goggles 100 between an unfolded state and a folded state in the front-to-back direction by moving the holding part 110, the pad 120, and the mounting part 130 away from and close to each other in the front-to-back direction. That is, in a state where the pad 120 and the mounting part 130 are separated from the holding part 110, the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting part 130 relative to the holding part 110 are fixed by a fixing part described later, whereby the goggles 100 are in a state where the holding part 110 and the mounting part 13 ... Figure 1 and Figure 2 On the other hand, when the position fixation of the liner 120 and the mounting member 130 by the fixing member is released, the liner 120 and the mounting member 130 are close to the holding member 110, thereby allowing the goggles 100 to change from the unfolded state to the folded state (see Figure 5 ).

[0036] The goggles 100 further include a first cover member 151 and a second cover member 152, wherein the first cover member 151 shields the space between the holding member 110 and the pad 120, and the second cover member 152 shields the space between the holding member 110 and the mounting member 130. The first cover member 151 and the second cover member 152 have elasticity, and extend when the goggles 100 are in the unfolded state, and contract when the goggles 100 are in the folded state. As a result, even when the goggles 100 are in the unfolded state or the folded state, the space between the holding member 110 and the pad 120 and the space between the holding member 110 and the mounting member 130 are not exposed.

[0037] Figure 3 1 is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the goggles 100 when the goggles 100 according to the first embodiment are in the unfolded state. Figure 3 In the figure, for the sake of convenience, the first cover member 151 and the second cover member 152 are omitted. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , in the goggles 100 , the positions of the cushion 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110 are fixed by the fixing member 140 .

[0038] The holding member 110 is a substantially rectangular frame member, and holds lenses 111 and 112 that can be visually recognized by the user using the left and right eyes. In the following description, the direction in which the lenses 111 and 112 are arranged is referred to as the left-right direction. At the center of the holding member 110 in the left-right direction, a nose guard portion 113 that can be worn on the nose of the user is included so as to be sandwiched between the lenses 111 and 112. Holes 110a are formed at both ends of the holding member 110 in the left-right direction, and a fixing member 140 is inserted into the hole 110a.

[0039] The pad 120 is formed of a flexible material, and a part thereof is fixed to the holding member 110. Specifically, the pad 120 is fixed at the central portion in the left-right direction to a beam portion protruding backward from the central portion in the left-right direction of the back of the holding member 110. An opening 121 is formed in the pad 120 at a position corresponding to the lenses 111 and 112. A cushioning member is provided on the back of the pad 120 so as to surround the opening 121. When the pad 120 is close to the user's face, the cushioning member provided on the back of the pad 120 contacts the user's face. As a result, the wearing feeling of the pad 120 can be improved. Concave portions 123 are formed at both ends in the left-right direction of the pad 120, and the concave portions 123 accommodate the ends of the fixing member 140 inserted into the hole 110a of the holding member 110. The pad 120 also includes a band 125 covering the temporal region and the top of the user's head as a mounting tool for mounting the goggles 100 on the user's head. The strap 125 is detachably attached to the cushion 120 via, for example, mounting rings 122 or the like provided at both ends in the left-right direction of the cushion 120. Note that the structure of the strap 125 is not limited thereto, and may be a structure having a shape covering only the user's temple area, or a hook-like structure hooked on the ear like the temples of glasses, and further, the strap 125 may be omitted.

[0040] The mounting member 130 is a substantially rectangular frame member, is arranged on the opposite side of the pad 120 of the holding member 110, and is configured to allow the electronic device 10 to be mounted thereon. That is, claws 131 are formed at four corners on the front surface of the mounting member 130, and the electronic device 10 is mounted to the mounting member 130, wherein the electronic device 10 is locked by the claws 131. An opening 132 is included at a position of the mounting member 130 corresponding to the lenses 111 and 112. The VR image is provided to the lenses 111 and 112a from the electronic device 10 mounted to the mounting member 130 via the opening 132. Holes 130a are formed at both ends in the left-right direction of the mounting member 130, and the fixing member 140 is inserted into the hole 130a. A locking mechanism is provided in the hole 130a of the mounting member 130, which locks the fixing member 140 inserted into the hole 130a and restricts the movement of the fixing member 140. The mounting member 130 further includes a release button 133 for releasing the locking of the fixing member 140 in the hole 130 a through the locking mechanism.

[0041] In a state where the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 are separated from the holding member 110, the fixing member 140 fixes the position of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110. Specifically, the fixing member 140 is formed in a rod shape. In addition, the fixing member 140 is inserted into each of the hole 110a of the holding member 110 and the hole 130a of the mounting member 130, abuts against the pad 120, and is locked in the hole 130b of the mounting member 130, thereby fixing the position of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130. By fixing the position of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 by the fixing member 140, the state where the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 are separated from the holding member 110 can be easily maintained. As a result, the goggles 100 can be smoothly changed from a folded state to an unfolded state. Note that when the fixing member 140 abuts against the pad 120, the end of the fixing member 140 is accommodated in the recess 123 of the pad 120. As a result, positional deviation of the end portion of the fixing member 140 is suppressed.

[0042] At the same time, the fixing member 140 releases the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 in response to a predetermined release operation. This allows the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 to easily approach the holding member 110. As a result, the goggles 100 can smoothly change from the unfolded state to the folded state.

[0043] [1-2. Process for releasing position fixation]

[0044] Here, we will refer to Figure 4 A process for releasing the position fixation of the gasket 120 and the mounting member 130 will be described. Figure 4 It is a diagram for explaining a process for releasing the positional fixation of the gasket 120 and the mounting member 130 in the first embodiment.

[0045] When the goggles 100 are in Figure 3 In the expanded state shown in FIG, the fixing member 140 is inserted into each of the hole 110a of the retaining member 110 and the hole 130a of the mounting member 130, abuts against the cushion 120, and is locked in the hole 130b of the mounting member 130. Figure 3 In the state, the positions of the gasket 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110 are fixed by the fixing member 140. When the release button 133 is pressed in this state, the locking of the fixing member 140 in the hole 130a of the mounting member 130 is released, thereby allowing the fixing member 140 to be removed. Then, as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown in FIG. 1 , the fixing member 140 is removed from the hole 110a of the holding member 110 and the hole 130a of the mounting member 130. As a result, the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 is released. Releasing the lock and removing the fixing member 140 by the release button 133 corresponds to an example of a "predetermined release operation".

[0046] Figure 5 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the goggles 100 when the goggles 100 according to the first embodiment are in a folded state. When the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 by the fixing member 140 is released, the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 are close to the holding member 110, and thus the goggles 100 are moved away from the folded state. Figure 3 The expanded state shown in becomes Figure 5 The fixing member 140 removed from the hole 110a of the holding member 110 and the hole 130a of the mounting member 130 is accommodated in the mounting member 130 in a state where the electronic device 10 is not mounted. That is, the removed fixing member 140 is accommodated in the space surrounded by the claw portion 131 on the front surface of the mounting member 130.

[0047] [1-3. Effects of the First Embodiment]

[0048] As described above, the goggles 100 according to the first embodiment include the holding member 110, the pad 120, the mounting member 130, and the fixing member 140. The holding member 110 holds the lenses 111 and 112. A portion of the pad 120 is fixed to the holding member 110. The mounting member 130 is arranged on the side of the holding member 110 opposite to the pad 120, and is configured to allow the electronic device 10 that provides images to the lenses 111 and 112 to be mounted thereon. In a state where the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 are separated from the holding member 110, the fixing member 140 fixes the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110. In addition, the fixing member 140 receives a predetermined release operation, and the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 is released. As a result, the separation and approach of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110 can be switched with a simple operation, and thus the shape of the goggles 100 can be quickly changed between the unfolded state and the folded state. As a result, the shape can be changed smoothly.

[0049] In addition, the fixing member 140 is formed in a rod shape. The fixing member 140 is inserted into the hole 110a and the hole 130a formed in the holding member 110 and the mounting member 130, respectively, abuts against the pad 120, and is locked in the hole 130b of the mounting member 130, thereby fixing the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130. As a result, the state in which the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 are separated from the holding member 110 can be easily maintained, and thus the goggles 100 can be smoothly changed from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0050] Meanwhile, when the fixing member 140 receives an operation of releasing the lock in the hole 130a of the mounting member 130 and being removed from the hole 110a of the holding member 110 and the hole 130a of the mounting member 130, the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 is released. This allows the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 to easily approach the holding member 110, and thus the goggles 100 can be smoothly changed from the unfolded state to the folded state.

[0051] Furthermore, when the fixing member 140 is removed from the hole 110a of the holding member 110 and the hole 130a of the mounting member 130, the fixing member 140 is accommodated in the mounting member 130 in a state where the electronic device 10 is not mounted. As a result, the removed fixing member 140 can be efficiently accommodated.

[0052] The mounting member 130 further includes a release button 133 for releasing the locking of the fixing member 140 in the hole 130a of the mounting member 130. This allows the fixing member 140 to be easily removed in response to the release button 133 being pressed.

[0053] The goggles 100 further include a first cover member 151 and a second cover member 152. The first cover member 151 is an elastic member that shields the space between the holding member 110 and the pad 120. The second cover member 152 is an elastic member that shields the space between the holding member 110 and the mounting member 130. As a result, even when the goggles 100 are in the unfolded state or the folded state, the space between the holding member 110 and the pad 120 and the space between the holding member 110 and the mounting member 130 are not exposed, thereby allowing the aesthetic appearance of the goggles 100 to be maintained.

[0054] Note that in the first embodiment, an example in which the fixing member 140 is formed in a rod shape is described, however, the shape of the fixing member 140 is not limited thereto. For example, the fixing member 140 may be formed in a hollow tubular shape. In this case, the retractable cord may pass through the tubular fixing member 140, the hole 110a of the holding member 110, and the hole 130a of the mounting member 130, wherein the first end of the retractable cord is fixed to the end of the tubular fixing member 140, and the second end may be fixed to the recess 123 of the pad 120. As a result, the tubular fixing member 140 and the recess 123 of the pad 120 are coupled via the retractable cord, and the fixing member 140 may be easily pressed against the pad 120.

[0055] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, an example is described in which the image provided from the electronic device 10 is a VR image, however, the disclosed technology is not limited thereto. For example, the image provided from the electronic device 10 may be an augmented reality (AR) image.

[0056] (2. Second embodiment)

[0057] Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment relates to a modification of the fixing member of the first embodiment.

[0058] [2-1. Configuration of goggles according to second embodiment]

[0059] Figure 6 and Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the appearance of goggles 100 according to the second embodiment. Figure 6 The electronic device 10 is shown in the state of being mounted on the goggles 100, and Figure 7 1 shows a state where the electronic device 10 is not mounted on the goggles 100 .

[0060] Similar to the goggles 100 according to the first embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 The goggles 100 shown in the figure can change its shape between the unfolded state and the folded state in the front-back direction by moving the holding member 110, the liner 120 and the mounting member 130 away from and close to each other in the front-back direction. That is, in a state where the liner 120 and the mounting member 130 are separated from the holding member 110, the positions of the liner 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110 are fixed by a fixing member described later, whereby the goggles 100 are in a state where the liner 120 and the mounting member 13 ... Figure 6 and Figure 7 On the other hand, when the position fixation of the liner 120 and the mounting member 130 by the fixing member is released, the liner 120 and the mounting member 130 are close to the holding member 110, thereby allowing the goggles 100 to change from the unfolded state to the folded state (see Fig.10 and Fig.11 ). Figure 6 and Figure 7 The goggles 100 shown in FIG. 1 are different from the goggles 100 according to the first embodiment in the structure of the fixing member.

[0061] Figure 8 2 is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the goggles 100 according to the second embodiment when the goggles 100 are in the unfolded state. Figure 8 In the figure, for the sake of convenience, the first cover member 151 and the second cover member 152 are omitted. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , in the goggles 100 , the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110 are fixed by the fixing member 240 . Figure 8 In the goggles 100 described in , the hole 110 a is not formed in the holding member 110 , the hole 130 a is not formed in the mounting member 130 , and the recess 123 is not formed in the pad 120 .

[0062] The fixing member 240 includes a first movable unit 241 , a second movable unit 242 , and a third movable unit 243 .

[0063] The first movable unit 241 is rotatably coupled to the pad 120 and slidably coupled to the holding member 110. Specifically, the first movable unit 241 is rotatably connected to the pad 120 via rotation axes provided at both ends in the left-right direction of the front surface of the pad 120. In addition, the first movable unit 241 is coupled to the holding member 110 in a slidable manner in the left-right direction via a guide rail provided on the back surface of the holding member 110.

[0064] The second movable unit 242 is rotatably coupled to the mounting member 130 and slidably coupled to the holding member 110. Specifically, the second movable unit 242 is rotatably coupled to the mounting member 130 via rotation axes provided at both ends in the left-right direction of the back surface of the mounting member 130. In addition, the second movable unit 242 is coupled to the holding member 110 in a slidable manner in the left-right direction via a guide rail provided on the front surface of the holding member 110.

[0065] As the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 are separated from the holding member 110, the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 rotate and slide until the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 stand upright relative to the holding member 110, and the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 are locked to the holding member 110. As a result, the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 fix the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130. Specifically, when the pad 120 is separated from the holding member 110, the first movable unit 241 rotates in the front-to-back direction around the rotation axis on the front surface of the pad 120, slides in the left-to-right direction along the guide rail on the back surface of the holding member 110, and stands upright relative to the holding member 110. Then, the first movable unit 241 is locked at the end of the holding member 110 in a state of standing upright relative to the holding member 110. The first movable unit 241 is automatically locked to the holding member 110 by a locking mechanism provided at the end of the holding member 110. When the mounting member 130 is separated from the holding member 110, the second movable unit 242 rotates in the front-to-rear direction around the rotation axis on the back side of the mounting member 130, slides in the left-to-right direction along the guide rail on the front side of the holding member 110, and stands upright relative to the holding member 110. Then, the second movable unit 242 is locked at the end of the holding member 110 in a state of standing upright relative to the holding member 110. The second movable unit 242 is automatically locked to the holding member 110 by a locking mechanism provided at the end of the holding member 110. By locking the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 in a state of standing upright relative to the holding member 110, the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110 are fixed. In this way, as the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 are separated from the holding member 110, the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 are fixed by the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242. As a result, it is possible to easily maintain a state in which the cushion 120 and the mounting member 130 are separated from the member 110. As a result, the goggles 100 can be smoothly changed from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0066] In addition, the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 release the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 in response to a predetermined release operation. This allows the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 to easily approach the holding member 110. As a result, the goggles 100 can be smoothly changed from the unfolded state to the folded state. A process for releasing the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 by the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 will be described later.

[0067] The third movable unit 243 is rotatably coupled to the pad 120 together with the first movable unit 241, and is slidably coupled to the holding member 110 together with the first movable unit 241. Specifically, the third movable unit 243 is rotatably coupled to the pad 120 together with the first movable unit 241 via rotation axes provided at both ends in the left-right direction of the front surface of the pad 120. In addition, the third movable unit 243 is coupled to the holding member 110 in a manner slidable in the left-right direction together with the first movable unit 241 via guide rails provided on the back surface of the holding member 110. When the third movable unit 243 rotates and slides together with the first movable unit 241 as the pad 120 is separated from the holding member 110, the third movable unit 243 fixes the position of the pad 120 together with the first movable unit 241 until the third movable unit 243 stands obliquely with respect to the holding member 110. As a result, the third movable unit 243 can assist the fixation of the position of the pad 120 by the first movable unit 241. Note that the third movable unit 243 can be omitted as needed.

[0068] The holding member 110 further includes a release button 115 for releasing the lock between the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 and the holding member 110 .

[0069] [2-2. Process for releasing position fixation]

[0070] Here, we will refer to Fig. 9 A process for releasing the positional fixation of the gasket 120 and the mounting member 130 is described. Fig. 9 It is a diagram for explaining a process for releasing the positional fixation of the gasket 120 and the mounting member 130 in the second embodiment.

[0071] When the goggles 100 are in Figure 8 In the unfolded state shown in FIG, the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 rotate and slide until the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 stand upright relative to the holding member 110 and are locked to the holding member 110. That is, in Figure 8 In the state, the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 relative to the holding member 110 are fixed by the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242. When the release button 115 is pressed in this state, the lock of the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 to the holding member 110 is released, thereby allowing the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 to rotate and slide. Then, the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 rotate and slide until the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 fall down along the holding member 110. Specifically, as Fig. 9As shown by the arrow in , the first movable unit 241 rotates around the rotation axis 120b on the front side of the pad 120, slides inward in the left-right direction along the guide rail 110b on the back side of the holding member 110, and falls down along the holding member 110. At this time, the third movable unit 243 rotates and slides together with the first movable unit 241 until the third movable unit 243 falls down along the holding member 110. At the same time, as Fig. 9 As shown by the arrow in , the second movable unit 242 rotates around the rotation axis 130b on the back side of the mounting member 130, slides inward in the left-right direction along the guide rail 110c on the front side of the holding member 110, and falls down along the holding member 110. As a result, the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 is released. Releasing the lock by the release button 115 corresponds to an example of a "predetermined release operation".

[0072] Fig.10 : is a plan view showing the appearance of the goggles 100 according to the second embodiment when the goggles 100 are in a folded state. Fig.11 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the goggles 100 according to the second embodiment when the goggles 100 are in a folded state. When the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 by the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 is released, the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 approach the holding member 110 as the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 fall down. As a result, the goggles 100 are folded from Figure 8 The expanded state shown in Fig.10 and Fig.11 The folded state shown in .

[0073] [2-3. Effects of the Second Embodiment]

[0074] As described above, the goggles 100 according to the second embodiment include the fixing part 240 having the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242. The first movable unit 241 is rotatably coupled to the pad 120 and slidably coupled to the holding part 110. The second movable unit 242 is rotatably coupled to the mounting part 130 and slidably coupled to the holding part 110. As the pad 120 and the mounting part 130 are separated from the holding part 110, the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 are rotated, slid, and locked until the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 are erected relative to the holding part 110, thereby fixing the positions of the pad 120 and the mounting part 130. Therefore, as the pad 120 and the mounting part 130 are separated from the holding part 110, the goggles 100 can be smoothly changed from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0075] Furthermore, when an operation of unlocking the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 is received, the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 rotate and slide until the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 fall down along the holding member 110, thereby releasing the position fixation of the pad 120 and the mounting member 130. As a result, as the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 fall down, the pad 120 and the mounting member 130 can approach the holding member 110, and thus the goggles 100 can smoothly change from the unfolded state to the folded state.

[0076] In addition, the holding member 110 includes a release button 115 that releases the lock of the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 relative to the holding member 110. As a result, in response to the pressing of the release button 115, the first movable unit 241 and the second movable unit 242 can be easily allowed to slide and rotate.

[0077] Note that the effects described herein are merely examples and are not limiting, and other effects may also be achieved. That is, together with or in place of the above effects, the technology according to the present disclosure may achieve other effects that are obvious to those skilled in the art from the description of this specification.
