[0009] The basic object of the present invention is to enable convenient, flexible and simple assembly, separation, replacement and repair of a self-locking eyeglass system without the use of tools, wherein the eyeglass system, in addition to frame elements in the form of eyeglass lenses and locking elements, also additionally comprises a nose bridge, and wherein such a nose bridge can be stably mounted on the frame elements.

[0010] In other words, the present invention aims to provide a glasses system in which only manual effort is required to place or remove glasses lenses, and in which the glasses lenses, which serve as locking elements, can be manually pressed into the frame elements. This structure constitutes the most important locking function in the self-locking glasses system. In this glasses system, the nose bridge is locked and fixed by the glasses lenses. Additional elements, such as hinge elements and temple rods, are locked to the frame elements.

[0011] Description of the Invention

[0012] According to one aspect of the present invention, the above object is achieved by the following self-locking eyeglass system. The self-locking eyeglass system includes a frame element and an additional frame element, and also includes a nose bridge portion, wherein the nose bridge portion is connected to the frame elements, and the self-locking eyeglass system also includes a locking element in each frame element, wherein each of the frame elements includes a front side portion, a rear side portion, an outer side portion having an outer periphery, and an inner side portion having an inner periphery, wherein each of the frame elements further includes a connecting element of the frame element, the connecting element of the frame element being intended to be connected to the locking element, wherein at least one of the frame elements is non-disconnected in the outer periphery of at least one of the frame elements, and wherein the connecting element of the frame element is provided on the inner side portion, wherein the nose bridge portion has the connecting element of the nose bridge element, When the nose bridge is installed in the frame element, the connecting element of the nose bridge element coincides with the connecting element of the frame element, and wherein the nose bridge is fixed to the frame element by a locking element, wherein the nose bridge includes an adapter element of the nose bridge, and the adapter element of the nose bridge is complementary to at least one first recess for the nose bridge in each frame element in the frame element, and the adapter element of the nose bridge is installed in the first recess for the nose bridge of the frame element, and wherein the adapter element of the nose bridge is locked to the frame element of the adapter element of each nose bridge by a locking element, so that at least one first recess for the nose bridge is arranged from the inner side in a direction toward the outer side.

[0013] Self-locking thus means that the elements of the eyeglass system are locked together and that relatively few elements of the eyeglasses are secured, and therefore without the use of screws, nails, rivets, ropes or other loose parts commonly known for securing implementations.

[0014] Having a non-disconnected frame element means that the frame element is one-piece and has no connections that can be opened or closed in order to set the locking element in place in the frame element.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting element will be arranged along the entire inner side of the frame element, but in an alternative embodiment, it can be arranged along a portion of the inner side of the frame element, and in another alternative embodiment, the connecting element can be arranged in multiple positions around the inner side of the frame element, separated from each other by spaces without connecting elements.

[0016] The frame element may be made of metal or plastic, for example metal in the form of steel or titanium, or a plastic material of the type commonly used in spectacles.

[0017] In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the eyeglass system comprises an additional locking element.

[0018] In other words, the eyeglass system comprises at least two locking elements.

[0019] The present invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the eyeglass system includes a frame element and also a nose bridge portion, wherein the nose bridge portion is connected to the frame element, and wherein the nose bridge portion includes an adapter element, which is complementary to at least one recess in each of the frame elements, wherein each adapter element has a connecting element, when the adapter element of the nose bridge portion is installed in the recess in the frame element, the connecting element coincides with the connecting element of the frame element, and wherein the adapter element of the nose bridge portion is fixed to its respective frame element by a locking element.

[0020] For spectacles with two frame elements and spectacle lenses, it is here possible to connect, collect and lock both the nose bridge and any hinge elements to the two frame elements, wherein the locking is achieved when the locking elements are in place.

[0021] The self-locking eyeglass system according to the present invention may further include a hinge element installed in the frame element, having an adapter element corresponding to the adapter element of the nose bridge portion.

[0022] In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein both the frame element and the nose bridge have connecting elements, which are suitable for connecting to locking elements.

[0023] If both the frame element and the nose bridge have connecting elements in the form of recesses (grooves or recesses), the locking element can be accommodated in the frame element as well as in the nose bridge.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the frame element has a connecting element with two side surfaces, wherein one side surface can be turned outward over the locking element, and the connecting element then has side surfaces on each side of the locking element to secure the locking element in place. The connecting element comprises a recessed portion with a bottom surface and two side surfaces, thereby being able to receive a portion of the side surface area of ​​the locking element, thereby quickly securing the locking element.

[0025] A connecting element consisting of a recess and comprising a bottom surface and two side surfaces is understood to be a recess having approximately a U-shape or a V-shape, wherein the bottom surface can have any desired shape and wherein the transition to the side surfaces can be a sharp or curved interval, but wherein the side surfaces should be present in order to prevent the spectacle lens from falling out of the frame element.

[0026] In another embodiment, both the frame element and the nose bridge have connecting elements in the form of protrusions (tongues) to receive the locking element. If this embodiment is used, it requires that the locking element have a recess that is complementary to the protrusion, otherwise connection will not be possible.

[0027] In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein each frame element further comprises at least one further second recess extending on at least one of the front side and the rear side of the frame element, wherein the further second recess extends between the at least one first recess of the frame element and the outer side of the frame element, wherein the further second recess is intended to accommodate a nose bridge and a possible hinge element, respectively.

[0028] This makes it possible to accommodate the nose bridge in such a way that the connecting element also rotationally fixes the nose bridge.Spectacle elements such as a nose bridge and at least one hinge element can be accommodated.

[0029] In addition, both the hinge element and the nose bridge can therefore have connection elements that prevent rotation in the frame element.

[0030] In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein each frame element further comprises at least one further second recess extending on at least one of the front side and the rear side of the frame element, wherein the further second recess extends between the at least one first recess of the frame element and the outer side of the frame element, wherein the further second recess is intended for accommodating a secondary eyeglass element.

[0031] This enables the accommodation of secondary eyeglass elements, such as additional reinforcement elements in addition to the nose bridge, or elements that do not have any real functional properties, but are more of a construction / design feature.

[0032] In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the adapter element on the nose bridge portion comprises a longitudinal connecting element which, when the adapter element is mounted in the frame element, is approximately in the same plane as the edge of the inserted locking element, and wherein the connecting element is intended to interact precisely with the locking element.

[0033] Thus, the adapter element will also act as an adapter element to retain the locking element.In a preferred embodiment, the connecting element is similar, whether it is a connecting element in the frame element, the hinge element or the nose bridge, whereby the connecting elements are substantially similar in the periphery of the frame element.

[0034] In another aspect, the invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the adapter element on the nose bridge comprises different materials on a side of the adapter element intended to face the locking element.

[0035] This makes it possible to coat the connecting element of the adapter element or to place a filler element between the connecting element and the spectacle lens, thus ensuring that there is no direct contact between the spectacle lens and the material from which the connecting element is made, for example a metal in the form of steel or titanium. Alternatively, the connecting element may be a plastic material of the type commonly used when manufacturing spectacles.

[0036] In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the adapter element on the nose bridge and the adapter element on the possible hinge are adapted to a first recess in the frame element so that both the adapter element on the nose bridge and the adapter element on the possible hinge have opposite pulling and pushing forces relative to the frame element.

[0037] The hinge may be voluntarily provided in the eyeglass system or may be embodied in another way.

[0038] This allows the nose bridge and the hinge to be displaced in parallel in a direction away from the frame element and thus in the direction of the outer side of the frame element, after which, when the locking element is inserted into the frame element, the nose bridge and the hinge are locked in place in the frame element by the locking element. In a preferred embodiment, this parallel movement can be performed along a line, wherein the forces are directly opposite, but in an alternative embodiment, the adapter element on the nose bridge and the adapter element on the hinge element can be displaced only in the direction of the outer side of the frame element to achieve the desired purpose and to achieve the purpose of configuring the position on the frame element.

[0039] In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the eyeglass system further comprises at least one buckle having respective buckle arms and buckle pads, wherein the buckle is arranged on the nose bridge portion or the frame element.

[0040] Thus, the buckle, or at least the buckle arms, can be manufactured at the same time as the nose bridge, alternatively the buckle can be mounted later on the bridge or directly on the frame element.

[0041] In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the frame element is made of a material having elastic properties.

[0042] Here, a frame element with elastic properties means that the frame element can yield to a large extent, so that the locking element can be pressed into engagement with the connecting element of the frame element via a snap-in function, wherein the locking element can be quickly fixed and forms a locking element.

[0043] Thus, the locking element can be inserted into a frame element without interruptions on its circumference, wherein the elastic and flexible properties make it possible to manually press the locking element into the frame element, wherein the locking element engages with the connecting element of the frame element.
