Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of eyewear technology, and more specifically to a nose pad for eyeglasses and an eyeglass frame with the nose pad. Background Technology

[0002] Eyeglasses typically consist of a frame and lenses. The frame mainly consists of a lens, temples connected to both sides of the frame, and a pair of nose pads positioned on the bridge of the nose. When worn, the eyeglasses are supported on the bridge of the nose by the nose pads.

[0003] In the existing technology, nose pads for eyeglass frames are mainly divided into two categories according to their material: rigid plastic nose pads and all-silicone nose pads. Both have obvious defects in practical applications, as follows: (1) Hard plastic nose pads: They are hard and have poor elasticity. They are not comfortable to wear for a long time and are very easy to leave obvious pressure marks on the skin of the nose, affecting the appearance. Especially in sports scenarios where collisions may occur, such as playing ball while wearing glasses, hard nose pads cannot buffer the impact force and will directly transmit most of the external force to the bridge of the nose, significantly increasing the probability and degree of damage to the bridge of the nose.

[0004] (2) All-silicone nose pads: Although they have a certain degree of softness, their overall hardness is still relatively high, and their long-term wearing comfort is still not good. In addition, they are assembled with the frame by nylon feet bonded to their ends. Due to the significant difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion and mechanical properties of silicone and nylon, the bonding part between the all-silicone nose pads and the nylon feet is prone to come unglued and loosened under the influence of factors such as changes in ambient temperature, eventually causing the nose pads to fall off the feet.

[0005] In addition, traditional nose pads are usually connected to the frames by exposed screws or simple clips. Screws are cumbersome to install and the exposed screw heads affect the overall aesthetics of the frames; while clips often have insufficient connection strength and are prone to loosening.

[0006] Therefore, developing a new nose pad that combines good cushioning performance, improved wearing comfort, and a secure and reliable connection has become an urgent need for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The first objective of this invention is to provide a nose pad that has good cushioning performance, improves wearing comfort, and can be securely and reliably connected.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a nose pad, comprising a support member having a support portion and a mounting portion, wherein the support portion of the support member is wrapped in silicone to form a nose pad body with the support portion as a support skeleton, an airbag for contacting the user's bridge of nose is provided on the nose pad body near the nose, and the mounting portion of the support member is exposed outside the nose pad body to form a mounting foot for mounting on the edge of a glasses frame.

[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned nose pad, the airbag near the nose side of the nose pad body and the silicone body on the nose pad body are integrally molded and connected.

[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned nose pad, mounting holes for fastening to the frame edge are provided on the mounting feet.

[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned nose pad also includes a pin that matches the mounting hole, the pin being able to engage with the mounting hole to securely connect the nose pad to the frame edge inside the eyeglass frame.

[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned nose pad, the supporting portion of the support member is hollow. When the supporting portion of the support member is wrapped in silicone, the silicone filling the hollow portion and the silicone on both sides of the supporting portion are connected as one to form a locking portion that penetrates the supporting portion. This locking portion is used to lock the supporting portion inside the nose pad body.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned nose pad, the supporting part of the support member is an annular arched structure with a hollow inner ring area, and the silicone filling the hollow inner ring area is connected to the silicone on both sides of the supporting part to form a locking part that penetrates the supporting part and locks the supporting part inside the nose pad body.

[0014] The second objective of this invention is to provide an eyeglass frame that has a secure and aesthetically pleasing nose pad installation and is comfortable to wear.

[0015] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an eyeglass frame, including a frame and temples connected to both sides of the frame, wherein a pair of nose pads are provided on the frame corresponding to the user's nose bridge, the nose pads including a support member having a supporting part and a mounting part, the supporting part of the support member being wrapped in silicone to form a nose pad body with the supporting part as a support skeleton, an airbag for contacting the user's nose bridge is provided on the nose pad body near the nose, and the mounting part of the support member being exposed outside the nose pad body to form a mounting foot for mounting on the edge of the frame.

[0016] Furthermore, in the aforementioned eyeglass frame, the connection structure between the nose pad and the frame is as follows: a longitudinal groove for the nose pad mounting foot to be inserted is provided on the frame edge end face corresponding to the user's nose bridge; a locking hole is also provided on the frame edge at the longitudinal groove, which is transversely connected to the longitudinal groove; and when the nose pad mounting foot is inserted into the longitudinal groove, the mounting hole on the nose pad mounting foot is exactly aligned with the locking hole; a pin passes through and is embedded in the locking hole and the mounting hole in sequence, and is not exposed on the frame edge, thereby fixing the nose pad to the frame.

[0017] The beneficial effects of implementing the above technical solution are as follows: (1) The supporting part of the support is wrapped in silicone to form a nose pad body with a supporting skeleton. The nose pad body structure provides stable support strength for the nose pad as a whole, and also provides a stable installation base for the airbag structure near the nose. When the airbag is subjected to force, it can deform based on the nose pad body, ensuring the stability of the deformation and thus ensuring a good buffering effect. At the same time, the airbag structure set near the nose of the nose pad body not only avoids the nose pad from pressing hard on the bridge of the nose, but also can adapt to different nose bridge curves. It is not easy to produce indentations when worn for a long time, which greatly improves the wearing comfort. In addition, when subjected to accidental impact or collision, the airbag can absorb and disperse the impact force, reducing the risk of nose bridge injury.

[0018] (2) The nose pads are designed with mounting feet and pins so that they can be matched with the slots and locking holes on the frame, thus achieving a reliable connection between the nose pads and the frame. This makes it difficult for the nose pads to fall off the frame during daily use or sports. Moreover, the pins are completely hidden in the frame after assembly, with no part exposed to the frame, achieving concealed installation. The appearance is simple and beautiful. This structural design makes installation, disassembly and replacement more convenient and quick.

[0019] (3) The support part on the support is fully embedded in the silicone body of the nose pad body as a rigid skeleton, and further through the hollow design, the silicone fills the hollow part, so that the support and the silicone body form a mechanical interlocking structure. This not only makes the connection between the support and the silicone body firm and reliable, and not easy to separate and fall off, but also eliminates the traditional process of using glue to bond and fix the silicone body to the nylon support during production. This not only simplifies the production process and improves production efficiency, but also greatly enhances the bonding strength between the silicone body and the support.

[0020] (4) The support component with a ring-shaped hollow arch structure not only ensures the rigidity requirement of the support, but also significantly reduces the weight of the nose pad and further reduces the constraint of the rigid support component without hollow structure on the deformation of the nose pad body. This not only makes the nose pad more easily and smoothly fit the curve of the bridge of the nose, but also allows the nose pad to better absorb and disperse the impact force when it is under stress, greatly reducing the risk of injury to the bridge of the nose.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] For ease of description, the orientation in this embodiment is determined when the eyeglasses frame is worn on the user's nose bridge, wherein the side of the nose pad closest to the nose bridge is the nasal side, such as... Figure 2 The side indicated by A is the distal nasal side, which is opposite to the proximal nasal side. Figure 2 The symbol B indicates the end of the nose pad; the end closest to the eye is the proximal end, such as... Figure 2 The end indicated by the symbol C is the distal end, the end furthest from the eye. Figure 2 The symbol D indicates the direction.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, a nose pad 100 includes a support member 3 having a support portion 1 and a mounting portion 2. In actual manufacturing, the support portion 1 and the mounting portion 2 are integrally molded from nylon material. The support portion 1 of the support member 3 is wrapped in silicone to form a nose pad body 4 with the support portion as the supporting skeleton. An airbag 5 is provided on the nose pad body 4 near the nose to contact the user's nose bridge. The airbag 5 provided on the nose pad body 4 near the nose can avoid hard pressure on the nose bridge and can adapt to different nose bridge curves. It is not easy to produce pressure marks during long-term wear, which greatly improves the wearing comfort. In the event of accidental impact or collision, the airbag 5 can absorb and disperse the impact force, reducing the risk of nose bridge injury. The mounting portion 2 of the support member 3 is exposed on the nose pad body 4 to form a mounting foot 6 for mounting on the frame edge of the glasses. The mounting foot 6 has a mounting hole 7 for fastening connection with the frame edge of the glasses.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the airbag 5 near the nose of the nose pad body 4 is integrally formed with the silicone body on the nose pad body 4. That is, a hollow septum is formed inside the silicone body near the nose of the nose pad body 4 to form the airbag 5 for contacting the bridge of the nose. Since the airbag 5 and the nose pad body 4 are integrally formed, the risk of separation or air leakage is avoided.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the nose pad also includes a pin 8 that matches the mounting hole 7. The pin 8 can cooperate with the mounting hole 7 to securely connect the nose pad to the frame edge 200 inside the eyeglass frame. During assembly, simply insert the mounting foot 6 of the nose pad into the longitudinal slot 12 of the frame edge 200, and then pass the pin 8 through and embed it into the locking hole 9 on the side of the frame edge 200 and the mounting hole 7 on the mounting foot 6. At this time, the pin 8 is not exposed outside the frame edge 200, thereby fixing the nose pad to the frame. This nose pad mounting structure, on the one hand... Unlike traditional screw-fixing methods, this method eliminates the need for constant screw tightening. During installation, simply push the pin 8 into the locking hole 9 and mounting hole 7. During disassembly, simply push the pin 8 out of the locking hole 9 and mounting hole 7 from the other side of the frame edge 200. This method is not only simple and convenient to operate, but also highly efficient in assembly and maintenance. Furthermore, because the pin 8 is interference-fitted with the locking hole 9 and mounting hole 7, the connection is secure. In addition, the pin is completely hidden in the frame after assembly, with no part exposed, achieving concealed installation and a simple and beautiful appearance.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the support portion 1 of the support member 3 is hollow. When the support portion 1 of the support member 3 is wrapped in silicone, the silicone filling the hollow portion and the silicone on both sides of the support portion 1 are connected to form a locking portion that penetrates the support portion. This locking portion is used to lock the support portion 1 inside the nose pad body 4. Preferably, the support portion 1 of the support member 3 is an annular arch structure with a hollow inner ring region 10. The silicone filling the hollow inner ring region 10 and the silicone on both sides of the support portion 1 are connected to form a locking portion 11 that penetrates the support portion 1 and locks the support portion 1 inside the nose pad body 4. This support portion structure has the following advantages: First, the locking portion formed by the silicone penetrating the hollow region in the support portion—such as the hollow inner ring region—allows the nose pad to lock in place. The silicone body in the main body forms a mechanical interlocking structure with the support component, which eliminates the traditional process of bonding the silicone body to the nylon support component with glue during production. This not only simplifies the production process and improves production efficiency, but also greatly enhances the bonding strength between the silicone body and the support component. Secondly, the hollow annular arched structure of the support component ensures support rigidity while significantly reducing the weight of the nose pad. It also further reduces the constraint of the rigid support component without hollow structure on the deformation of the nose pad body, making it easier and more flexible for the nose pad to conform to the curve of the bridge of the nose. In addition, the annular hollow arched structure meets the support rigidity requirements while allowing the nose pad to better absorb and disperse impact force when under stress, greatly reducing the risk of nasal bridge injury.

[0036] The present invention also discloses an eyeglass frame, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the eyeglass frame includes a frame 300 and temples 400 connected to both sides of the frame 300. A pair of nose pads 100 with the above-described structure are provided on the frame 300 corresponding to the user's nose bridge.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, the connection structure between the nose pad 100 and the frame 300 is as follows: a longitudinal groove 12 is provided on the end face of the frame edge 200 corresponding to the bridge of the user's nose for the mounting feet 6 of the nose pad 100 to be inserted. A locking hole 9 is also provided on the frame edge 200 at the longitudinal groove 12, which is transversely connected to the longitudinal groove 12. When the nose pad mounting feet 6 are inserted into the longitudinal groove 12, the mounting holes 7 on the nose pad mounting feet 6 are exactly aligned with the locking hole 9. A pin 8 passes through and is embedded in the locking hole 9 and the mounting hole 7 in sequence, and does not protrude from the frame edge 200, thereby fixing the nose pad 100 to the frame 300.

[0038] The advantages of this invention are: (1) The supporting part of the support is wrapped in silicone to form a nose pad body with a supporting skeleton. The nose pad body structure provides stable support strength for the nose pad as a whole, and also provides a stable installation base for the airbag structure near the nose. When the airbag is subjected to force, it can deform based on the nose pad body, ensuring the stability of the deformation and thus ensuring a good buffering effect. At the same time, the airbag structure set near the nose of the nose pad body not only avoids the nose pad from pressing hard on the bridge of the nose, but also can adapt to different nose bridge curves. It is not easy to produce indentations when worn for a long time, which greatly improves the wearing comfort. In addition, when subjected to accidental impact or collision, the airbag can absorb and disperse the impact force, reducing the risk of nose bridge injury.

[0039] (2) The nose pads are designed with mounting feet and pins so that they can be matched with the slots and locking holes on the frame, thus achieving a reliable connection between the nose pads and the frame. This makes it difficult for the nose pads to fall off the frame during daily use or sports. Moreover, the pins are completely hidden in the frame after assembly, with no part exposed to the frame, achieving concealed installation. The appearance is simple and beautiful. This structural design makes installation, disassembly and replacement more convenient and quick.

[0040] (3) The support part on the support is fully embedded in the silicone body of the nose pad body as a rigid skeleton, and further through the hollow design, the silicone fills the hollow part, so that the support and the silicone body form a mechanical interlocking structure. This not only makes the connection between the support and the silicone body firm and reliable, and not easy to separate and fall off, but also eliminates the traditional process of using glue to bond and fix the silicone body to the nylon support during production. This not only simplifies the production process and improves production efficiency, but also greatly enhances the bonding strength between the silicone body and the support.

[0041] (4) The support component with a ring-shaped hollow arch structure not only ensures the rigidity requirement of the support, but also significantly reduces the weight of the nose pad and further reduces the constraint of the rigid support component without hollow structure on the deformation of the nose pad body. This not only makes the nose pad more easily and smoothly fit the curve of the bridge of the nose, but also allows the nose pad to better absorb and disperse the impact force when it is under stress, greatly reducing the risk of injury to the bridge of the nose.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any other way. Any modifications or equivalent changes made based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
