Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eyeglass frame technology, specifically to an adjustable eyeglass frame for middle-aged and elderly people. Background Technology
[0002] As people age, especially in middle and old age, the lens inside the eye gradually hardens and loses elasticity. This makes it difficult for the ciliary body to adjust its focus, resulting in presbyopia. If middle-aged and elderly people wear nearsighted glasses, the focal point shifts further backward when looking at near objects, requiring even stronger accommodative ability. Presbyopia cannot provide this accommodation, leading to blurred vision. They usually need to remove their nearsighted glasses to slow down the backward shift of the focal point, thus reducing the accommodative burden on the ciliary body. In other words, middle-aged and elderly people who wear nearsighted glasses often need to remove them to see near objects clearly, and then put them back on when they need to see distant objects. To reduce the frequency of removing and putting on glasses, such as in meetings or discussions where it is necessary to frequently look at distant objects and switch gazes to materials, nearsighted people may opt for glasses for convenience. Middle-aged and elderly people often wear their glasses without removing them, typically shifting their perspective downwards from the frame to view nearby objects. When they need to see distant objects, they switch their perspective back to align with the glasses. However, the overall structure of existing eyeglass frames is usually designed based on the normal human ear and nose structure, with fixed heights for the temples relative to the frame and for the nose pads. While these glasses can generally meet the needs of nearsighted middle-aged and elderly people when viewing distant objects through the lenses, the existing frames are difficult to adapt to the different ear and nose structures and viewing habits of various middle-aged and elderly people due to differences in their ear and nose structures and their downward viewing habits. Consequently, they cannot meet the wearing and usage needs of these middle-aged and elderly people. Utility Model Content

The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present invention, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides an adjustable eyeglass frame for middle-aged and elderly people, including a frame body 1. The frame body 1 is provided with two lens frames 11 for mounting lenses. The inner side of each lens frame 11 is provided with a mounting sleeve 2. A bracket 3 is movably mounted on the mounting sleeve 2. A nose pad 4 is mounted on each bracket 3. The outer side of each lens frame 11 is provided with a mounting bracket 5. A connecting bracket 6 is movably mounted on each mounting bracket 5. A temple 61 is rotatably mounted on the connecting bracket 6. Each mounting bracket 5 is provided with an adjustment component 7 for adjusting the height position of the connecting bracket 6. Each mounting sleeve 2 is provided with a fastener 21 for fixing the bracket 3 to adjust the height position of the bracket 3.
[0029] The height of the nose pad 4 can be adjusted by moving the bracket 3 at each of the two mounting sleeves 2 and fixing the bracket 3 with the fastener 21. The height of the two temples 61 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the connecting frame 6 at each of the two mounting brackets 5 with the adjusting components 7. The height of the frame body 1 relative to the eyes can be adjusted according to the ear and nose structure of different middle-aged and elderly people and their viewing habits of looking down at nearby objects, so as to meet the wearing and use needs of middle-aged and elderly people.
[0030] In this application, both the fastener 21 and the adjustment component 7 require tools for fastening and adjustment. Without actively using tools, the fastener 21 and the adjustment component 7 are not prone to accidental loosening.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In conjunction with the technical solution of Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the adjusting component 7 includes a screw 71 and an end 72. Each mounting bracket 5 is rotatably provided with a screw 71, and each screw 71 is provided with an end 72. The connecting bracket 6 is provided with a threaded hole 62 that is threadedly engaged with the screw 71.
[0033] By using a tool to rotate end 72, the screw 71 can be rotated. During the rotation of the screw 71, the connecting bracket 6 is driven to slide up and down relative to the mounting bracket 5 through the synergistic effect of the threaded hole 62, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the connecting bracket 6.
[0034] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 5 is provided with an embedded groove 51, and the end 72 is located in the embedded groove 51.
[0035] The end 72 is placed in the recessed groove 51 in an embedded manner. Tools such as screwdrivers need to be inserted into the recessed groove 51 and the end 72 needs to be turned. This makes it less likely for the end 72 to rotate accidentally without human intervention. The embedded structure also prevents the end 72 from protruding, making the entire eyeglass frame body 1 more aesthetically pleasing.
[0036] Specifically, an internal hexagonal groove 721 is provided on the end 72.
[0037] The end 72 with an internal hexagonal groove 721 is used, which can only be rotated with the help of a matching hexagonal screwdriver bit, thus preventing the end 72 from being rotated by non-professionals.
[0038] In other embodiments, an end 72 with a cross groove can be used, but the reason why the end 72 with an internal hexagonal groove 721 is preferred in this embodiment is that, compared with the cross groove, the internal hexagonal groove 721 structure has the advantages of being less prone to stripping and the groove being less likely to be damaged due to stripping during use.
[0039] Example 3:
[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In conjunction with the technical solutions of Embodiments 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the connecting frame 6 is provided with a clamping assembly 8. The clamping assembly 8 includes a fixing plate 81, a clamping plate 82 and a first screw 83. The fixing plate 81 is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 6. The fixing plate 81 is provided with a first screw hole 63 that is threadedly connected to the first screw 83. The clamping plate 82 is provided with a limiting hole 821 through which the rod part of the first screw 83 passes. The first screw 83 is used to tighten and fix the clamping plate 82 on the fixing plate 81 and drive the clamping plate 82 and the fixing plate 81 to be clamped on the outside of both sides of the mounting frame 5.
[0041] When the height of the temple 61 needs to be adjusted, the clamping plate 82 is moved away from the fixing plate 81 by first turning the first screw 83 to release the clamping state of the mounting bracket 5. Then, the temple 61 is adjusted by adjusting the component 7. That is, the end 72 is turned by using a screwdriver (using a Phillips or hex screwdriver head) to adjust the position of the connecting bracket 6 by using the screw 71 in conjunction with the threaded hole 62 on the connecting bracket 6. After adjusting to the specified position, the first screw 83 is tightened again to move the clamping plate 82 closer to the fixing plate 81 and clamp it on both sides of the mounting bracket 5 with the fixing plate 81, thus securing the connecting bracket 6. Without releasing the clamping state of the fixing plate 81 and the clamping plate 82, it is not easy to turn the end 72 to adjust the position of the connecting bracket 6, which can further enhance the fastening effect between the connecting bracket 6 and the mounting bracket 5.
[0042] Specifically, a square tube 822 is provided on the clamping plate 82, a square slot 64 for the square tube 822 to be inserted is provided on the connecting bracket 6, a limiting hole 821 is provided at the bottom of the square tube 822, and the first thread is located at the bottom of the square slot 64.
[0043] By configuring the square cylinder 822 and the square slot 64 to cooperate, the clamping plate 82 will not rotate relative to the fixed plate 81 when the first screw 83 is tightened. This helps to keep the clamping plate 82 and the fixed plate 81 aligned, effectively preventing the clamping plate 82 from deviating from the fixed plate 81 and causing the clamping plate 82 to be unable to cooperate with the fixed plate 81 for clamping when tightening the first screw 83. That is, when loosening the first screw 83, it is not necessary to unscrew the entire first screw 83. The first screw 83 is still partially connected to the first screw hole 63. After the first screw 83 is loosened, the square cylinder 822 is still partially inserted into the square slot 64, maintaining the alignment of the clamping plate 82 and the fixed plate 81. While maintaining this alignment, the position of the connecting bracket 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the component 7. After the connecting bracket 6 is adjusted to the specified position, the first screw 83 can be tightened again, providing convenience for adjustment and tightening operations. Furthermore, when the first screw 83 is tightened, it can be placed inside the cavity of the square tube 822, meaning that the first screw 83 will not be exposed, making the entire frame more aesthetically pleasing.
[0044] Example 4:
[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In conjunction with the technical solutions of embodiments 1-3, in this embodiment, the mounting sleeve 2 is provided with a square hole 22, the bracket 3 is provided with a square rod 31 that slides with the square hole 22, and the fastener 21 is used to fix the square rod 31 on the mounting sleeve 2.
[0046] Specifically, the fastener 21 is the second screw, and the mounting sleeve 2 is provided with a second screw hole 23 that is threaded with the second screw. The second screw is used to tighten and fix the square rod 31 onto the mounting sleeve 2.
[0047] When it is necessary to adjust the height of the nose pad 4, loosen the second screw to release the tightness of the square rod 31, move the square rod 31 to the designated position, and then tighten the second screw to fix the square rod 31, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the nose pad 4.
[0048] Example 5:
[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In conjunction with the technical solutions of embodiments 1-4, in this embodiment, the bracket 3 is provided with an installation block 9, the installation block 9 is provided with an installation groove 91, the nose pad 4 is provided with an insertion block 41 that cooperates with the installation groove 91, and the installation block 9 is provided with a third screw 92 for fixing the insertion block 41.
[0050] Specifically, the mounting block 9 has a through hole 93 on one side for the rod of the third screw 92 to pass through, and a third screw hole 94 on the other side for the third screw 92 to be threaded. The insert block 41 has an insert hole 411 for the rod of the third screw 92 to pass through.
[0051] When installing the nose pad 4, insert the insert block 41 on the nose pad 4 into the mounting slot 91 on the mounting block 9, and use the third screw 92 to pass through the through hole 93 on the mounting block 9 and the insert hole 411 on the insert block 41 in sequence, and connect the third screw 92 with the third screw hole 94 to achieve the detachable installation of the nose pad 4, so as to facilitate the replacement of the nose pad 4 as needed.
[0052] Furthermore, the nose pads and temples in this application are typically adjusted at the retail store by professionals based on the ear and nose structure of middle-aged and elderly individuals and their viewing habits of looking down at nearby objects. After adjustment, the overall structure is tightened and fixed, usually without the need for secondary adjustments. However, if middle-aged and elderly individuals feel that adjustments are still necessary after wearing the glasses for a period of time, they can adjust them themselves using tools or return to the store for professional readjustment. In other words, the nose pads and temples in this application generally do not require frequent adjustments and can be used by middle-aged and elderly individuals for long-term wear after the initial adjustment.
[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technology of this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.
