[0025] It will be appreciated that the accompanying drawings are illustrative representations for purposes of illustration. The drawings are provided to illustrate one or more embodiments, and it is clearly understood that these drawings are not intended to limit the scope or meaning of the claims. Detailed description

[0026] The following is a more detailed description of various concepts and implementations related to methods, apparatuses, and systems for multi-core assemblies used in eyeglass arms. The various concepts introduced above and discussed in more detail below can be implemented in any of a variety of ways, as the described concepts are not limited to any particular implementation. Examples of specific implementations and applications are provided primarily for illustrative purposes.

[0027] I. Overview Eyeglasses components may include two temples. A core is integrated into each temple. The temples may be acetate temples and may be translucent, allowing the core to be visible when the observer views the eyeglasses component. This allows the eyeglasses component to achieve various aesthetic effects through the core. However, due to the high heat and pressure experienced by the core during integration into the temple, it may be difficult to decorate the core integrated into the temple, potentially damaging, harming, or burning any decorative elements included on the core. For example, during manufacturing, the temple may be heated and placed in a mold. The core can then be injected or pressed into the temple from the end. This high heat and pressure applied to the core may make it difficult or impossible to ideally decorate it.

[0028] To address these and other technical issues, this solution relates to a multi-core assembly for use in the temples of an eyeglass assembly. The multi-core assembly may include two cores (e.g., a dual-core): a base core and an insert core (e.g., a first core and a second core). The base core may be formed of a heat-resistant material such as titanium. The insert core may be inserted into a cavity of the base core. The cavity of the base core can protect and shield the insert core from high heat and / or high pressure during manufacturing. Specifically, during manufacturing, the multi-core assembly can be injected into the temples of the eyeglass assembly under high temperature and high pressure without undesirably affecting the insert core. Because the insert core is protected from high heat and high temperature, it can be decorated, for example, with various etchings, markings, jewelry, patterns, textures, etc. These decorations are visible after the eyeglass assembly is manufactured, which is desirable. Furthermore, the shielding provided by the base core allows the use of softer metals or other materials for the insert core, which would otherwise melt, deform, or burn during manufacturing without the multi-core assembly described herein. For example, insert cores can include carbon fiber, angle metal, ceramic, wood, gold, silver, or other materials formed therefrom. Because insert cores can include or be formed of materials different from (or different in color from) the base cores, multi-core assemblies can provide contrasting colors, whereas conventional cores originally used in other eyeglasses cannot.

[0029] Because multi-core assemblies are formed from multiple individual components, the base core can be coupled with different insert cores of varying appearances to customize the look of the multi-core assembly. This results in manufacturing benefits, as a single base core can be manufactured, but different insert cores can be produced to customize the appearance of the multi-core assembly. Instead of manufacturing a separate pair of conventional cores for each style, model, or brand of eyewear, manufacturers utilizing the multi-core assemblies described herein are able to use the same base core for a variety of styles, models, and brands of eyewear assemblies, while simply changing the insert cores according to style, model, or brand. Because the insert cores are smaller than conventional cores, the multi-core assemblies described herein can reduce costs for manufacturers while enabling them to produce eyewear assemblies with aesthetic effects that conventional eyewear cannot offer.

[0030] II. Overview of Example Eyeglass Components Now for reference Figures 1-2The diagram illustrates an eyeglass assembly 100. The eyeglass assembly 100 is configured to be worn by a user (e.g., a person, an adult, a child, etc.). The eyeglass assembly 100 provides the user with aesthetic (e.g., fashion, etc.) and / or functional (e.g., optical, etc.) benefits. The eyeglass assembly 100 can be a pair of glasses, an optical device, a vision aid, a pair of goggles, sports glasses, sunglasses, augmented reality / virtual reality (AR / VR) glasses, etc. The eyeglass assembly 100 includes a multi-core assembly 105. As described in more detail herein, the multi-core assembly 105 provides structural support to the eyeglass assembly 100 and provides aesthetic detail to the eyeglass assembly 100.

[0031] The multi-core assembly 105 includes a base core 120 and an insert core 135. The eyeglass assembly 100 may include a clear or tinted lens 150. The lens 150 may be polarized. The eyeglass assembly 100 may be prescription or non-prescription eyeglasses; for example, the lens 150 may be a prescription or non-prescription lens.

[0032] The eyeglass assembly 100 includes a frame 115 (e.g., a lens rim, etc.). The frame 115 can hold the lenses of the eyeglass assembly 100. The frame 115 can form a bridge to rest on the wearer's nose. The frame 115 is coupled (e.g., mounted, secured, fastened, etc.) to at least one arm or temple 110 of the eyeglass assembly 100. The eyeglass assembly 100 includes a first temple 110 and a second temple 110. The frame 115 can be coupled to the first temple 110 and the second temple 110. For example, a first end or a first side of the frame 115 can be coupled to the first temple 110. The first temple 110 can extend away from the frame 115 to provide a surface to rest on the wearer's ear. A second end or a second side of the frame 115 can be coupled to the second temple 110. The second temple 110 can extend away from the frame 115 to provide a surface to rest on the wearer's other ear. The frame 115 can be connected to the temple 110 via a hinge 145 to fold the temple 110 between a folded position and an unfolded position. The eyeglass assembly 100 may include a first hinge 145 for moving the first temple 110 and a second hinge 145 for moving the second temple 110.

[0033] The temple 110 includes a multi-core assembly 105. Each temple 110 (or only one temple 110) includes a multi-core assembly 105. Each temple 110 may include an insert core 135 having the same or different appearance. The temple 110 may be formed of cellulose acetate or integrally formed. The multi-core assembly 105 is disposed within the temple 110, positioned within the temple 110, integrated within the temple 110, injected within the temple 110, or laminated within the temple 110. The multi-core assembly 105 includes at least one base core 120. The multi-core assembly 105 includes at least one insert core 135. The base core 120 and the insert core 135 may be connected together. The base core 120 may be formed of titanium, steel, aluminum, etc. The insert core 135 may be formed of titanium, steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, angle metal, ceramic, wood, gold, silver, etc.

[0034] The base conductor 120 includes a body 125. The base conductor 120 includes an elongated portion 130. The elongated portion 130 may extend from an end of the body 125 along the longitudinal axis 140 of the body 125 or the multi-core assembly 105. The longitudinal axis 140 may be a common longitudinal axis of the multi-core assembly 105, the base conductor 120, the body 125, the elongated portion 130, or the inserted conductor 135.

[0035] The base core 120 and the insert core 135 are separate components joined together. Because the base core 120 and the insert core 135 are separate components, the base core 120 can be coupled with different insert cores 135 of different appearances to customize the appearance of the multi-core assembly. This results in manufacturing advantages, as a single base core 120 can be manufactured, but different insert cores 135 can be manufactured to customize the appearance of the multi-core assembly. The insert core 135 is inserted into, integrated into, or positioned in an opening, hole, or cavity of the base core 120. The base core 120 includes cavities, recesses, slots, or openings in which the insert core 135 is disposed, placed, positioned, inserted, or placed. The cavity of the base core 120 is shaped to conform to at least a portion of the outer surface of the insert core 135.

[0036] Now for reference Figures 3-4 An exploded perspective view of the multi-core assembly 105 is shown. The elongated portion 130 may have a tubular shape, a cylindrical shape, a rectangular prism shape, a pentagonal prism shape, a hexagonal prism shape, an octagonal prism shape, etc. The elongated portion 130 may extend outward from the end, point, or vertex 305 of the base core 120 along the longitudinal axis 140 away from the base core 120.

[0037] The body 125 includes at least one cavity 310. The cavity 310 forms a space or region in which at least a portion of the inserted wire core 135 is disposed, placed, positioned, or installed. The cavity 310 may have a tubular shape, a cylindrical shape, a rectangular prism shape, a pentagonal prism shape, a hexagonal prism shape, an octagonal prism shape, etc. The cavity 310 may include a bottom surface 315. The bottom surface 315 may form the bottom of the cavity 310. The bottom surface 315 may be flat or smooth. The bottom surface 315 may extend along a longitudinal axis 140. The bottom surface 315 may extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 140. The bottom surface 315 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 140 to the upper edge and the bottom edge having surfaces 320 and 325.

[0038] The body 125 may include a surface 320 extending at an angle from the edge of the bottom surface 315 relative to the surface of the surface 315. The surface 320 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 140. The surface 320 may extend at an angle from the surface 315 relative to the plane formed by the surface 315. This angle may be a tilt angle. This angle may be approximately 45 degrees. This angle may be between 43 and 47 degrees. The angle may be less than 43 degrees. The angle may be greater than 47 degrees.

[0039] The insert core 135 may include a portion 335. The portion 335 may have an outer surface that forms a shape conforming to the internal shape of the cavity 310. For example, the portion 335 may have a flat surface 340 for abutting surface 315, and an inclined surface 345 for abutting surfaces 325 and 320 of the cavity 310. The portion 335 may have a tubular shape, a cylindrical shape, a rectangular prism shape, a pentagonal prism shape, a hexagonal prism shape, an octagonal prism shape, etc. At least a portion of the insert core 135 may extend out of the cavity or be visible to an observer from outside the cavity. For example, at least one outer surface may extend out of the cavity 310 or be visible from outside the cavity. In some embodiments, no outer surface extends out of the cavity 310. In some embodiments, the insert core 135 does not extend above the upper edge or boundary of the cavity 310, such that the base core 120 protects the insert core 135 during manufacturing.

[0040] Part 335 may include an outer surface 350 opposite to the inner surface 340. The outer surface 350 may be located outside the cavity 310 or visible from the outside of the cavity. Part 335 may include an angled surface 355 opposite to the surface 345. The outer surface 355 may be located outside the cavity 310 or visible from the outside of the cavity. The angled surface 355 may extend from the surface 350 to a corresponding edge of the inner surface 345.

[0041] The body 125 may include a slot 330. The slot 330 may be a cavity, opening, or space. The slot 330 may be formed in the surface 315 of the cavity 310. The slot 330 may be a rectangular prism shape. The slot 330 may have a trapezoidal prism shape. The portion 335 into which the core 135 is inserted may include a protrusion 360. The protrusion 360 may extend outward from the surface 340 of the core 135. For example, the protrusion 360 may extend outward in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (e.g., longitudinal axis 140) of the core 135.

[0042] The protrusion 360 can be prism-shaped or trapezoidal prism-shaped. The shape of the protrusion 360 can conform to the shape of the slot 330. In this respect, the slot 330 can frictionally hold or engage the protrusion 360, thereby at least partially engaging the insert core 135 to the cavity 310 of the base core 120. Therefore, during manufacturing, when the multi-core assembly 105 is subjected to high heat or high pressure, the insert core 135 can be held engaged to the base core 120 via the slot 330 and the protrusion 360, and the insert core 135 will not shift during manufacturing.

[0043] Furthermore, the multi-core assembly 105 may include at least one connector 390. Connector 390 may be a cylindrical component, such as a screw, bolt, nail, etc. Connector 390 may be inserted into or pass through an opening 397 in the body 125. Connector 390 may be inserted into or pass through an opening 405 in the inserted core 135. Connector 390 may extend between openings 397 and 405 to hold the body 125 and the inserted core 135 together. Connector 390 may connect the inserted core 135 to the body 125. Openings 397 and 405 may be cylindrical, cuboid, hexagonal, etc. Openings 397 and 405 may have an axis 365, which may be perpendicular to axis 140.

[0044] In some embodiments, instead of or in addition to connecting the insert core 135 to the base core 120 via connector 390, an adhesive can be used to connect the base core 120 to the insert core 135. An adhesive (e.g., epoxy, acrylic, polyvinyl acetate, etc.) can be applied to the cavity 310 and / or slot 330, for example, to all or some of the inner surfaces of the cavity 310 or slot 330. In some embodiments, the adhesive can be applied to the surface of the insert core 135 before inserting it into the cavity 310. For example, the adhesive can be applied to surfaces 345 and 340. After the adhesive has cured, the multi-core assembly 105 can be placed into the temple 110. When the multi-core assembly 105 is inserted into the temple 110, the adhesive helps to retain the insert core 135 within the base core 120.

[0045] The insert core 135 may include a tip 370. The tip 370 may be opposite an end 395 of the insert core 135. The end 395 may be a flat surface formed by the hexagonal prism shape of the portion 335. The end 395 may be the base of the hexagonal prism shape of the portion 335. The tip 370 may have two parallel triangular surfaces 375 and 410. Surfaces 375 and 410 may be triangles or truncated triangles. The ends or points of the triangles may be connected to the vertices 380 of the tip 370. Edges 385 may connect the points, ends, or edges of the triangular surface 375 to the vertex 380. Edges 415 may connect the points, ends, or edges of the triangular surface 410 to the vertex 380.

[0046] Now for reference Figures 5-8 The diagram illustrates an insert core 135 mounted in a base core 120. The body 125 of the base core 120 may include a sloping portion 505 and a flat portion 530. The flat portion 530 includes a lateral side portion 535. The lateral side portion 535 may extend from an end 525 of the base core 120 along a longitudinal axis 140 toward the end 520 of the base core 120. The end 520 may be opposite to the end 525. Both the end 520 and the end 525 may be located on or intersect with the longitudinal axis 140 of the multi-core assembly 105. The end 520 may be a point, vertex, sloping segment, or tapered segment. The end 525 may be a plane or a surface. The end 525 may be a surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 140. The flat portion 530 may extend from the end 525 to the sloping portion 505. The side portions 535 may extend parallel to each other from the end 525. In this respect, the cross-sectional area of ​​the flat portion 530 can be constant from the end 525 to the beginning of the inclined portion 505.

[0047] The inclined portion 505 may be a truncated cone or a converging section. The inclined portion 505 may have a reduced cross-sectional area that moves along the longitudinal axis 140 toward the end 520. The inclined portion 505 may include opposing sides 510. The opposing sides 510 may not be parallel. The opposing sides 510 may approach each other or move along the longitudinal axis 140 of the multi-core assembly 105 toward the end 520. The opposing sides 510 may approach each other until they meet at the end 515 of the inclined portion 505. The end 515 may be the cross-sectional area of ​​the base core 120, where the inclined portion 505 ends and the elongated portion 130 begins. The elongated portion 130 may extend from the inclined portion 505 to the end 520. The elongated portion 130 may extend from the end 515 to the end or side 520. The elongated portion 130 may extend along the longitudinal axis 140. The elongated portion 130 may have a constant cross-sectional area (or a reduced cross-sectional area) from end 515 to end 520.

[0048] Now for reference Figure 9 It shows along Figure 6 A cross-sectional view of the multi-core assembly 105 taken from plane AA. Side 535 may have an outer edge extending outward from the bottom surface 905 of the base core 120 to the top edge 910. Side 535 may have three outer surfaces forming a trapezoidal surface, such as... Figure 8 As shown. However, side portion 535 can have any number of surfaces, such as four, five, six, etc. Side portion 535 can be circular or smooth and has an arcuate, curved, or semi-circular shape. Surfaces 325 and 320 can be inclined toward each other, thereby approaching the bottom surface 905 or slot 330. In this respect, the cross-sectional area of ​​cavity 310, at least partially defined by surfaces 325 and 320, can decrease from the top edge 910 toward the bottom surface 905. Insertion core 135 may include an inclined surface 345 that abuts, touches, or contacts surfaces 325 and 320. Surfaces 355 and 350 can be free or open surfaces. At least a portion of surfaces 355 and 350 may not touch or contact any surface or portion of the base core 120, such as surface 325 or 320.
