Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a support component, specifically an auxiliary support component for eyeglass frames, and belongs to the field of eyeglass frame technology. Background Technology
[0002] The support components of a conventional eyeglass frame consist of temples and nose pads. The temples rest on the ears, and the nose pads support the bridge of the nose. The front and back support forces ensure that the frame fits snugly on the face.
[0003] The position of the lenses determines that the bridge of the nose provides most of the support. Over the years, nearsighted patients wear glasses, which causes distortion in the bridge of the nose. In daily life, they often feel soreness and fatigue from the bridge of their nose, which leads to psychological resistance to the frames they wear. Some patients relieve psychological stress by changing their frames and lenses, while others remove their frames through refractive surgery.
[0004] Some frames, such as acetate frames, offer one-piece acetate nose pads that are not adjustable. Most frames offer adjustable nose pads for better fit, allowing them to fit most people's different nose bridge styles. The nose pads are supported by an adjustable nose pad bracket. However, prolonged wear and daily removal can easily cause deformation of the nose pad bracket, which can also cause discomfort when wearing the frames.
[0005] Patent CN200880126217.X discloses a "nose pad-free eyeglass frame and a method for supporting the eyeglasses of the same frame." This method involves providing a sliding support component on the inner side of the temples, supported by a bracket similar to a nose pad support, and this support component is designed to contact the cheekbone to provide support. The drawbacks of this patent are: 1. The bracket is easily deformed; 2. The pressure from the point support is high, resulting in greater discomfort for the cheekbone-supported face; 3. The smaller stress area makes the cheekbone area more susceptible to deformation than the bridge of the nose; 4. The relatively high localized pressure makes the frame unsuitable for prolonged wear; 5. With technological advancements, eyeglass frames integrate more functions besides lenses, such as navigation, music, and conversation, significantly increasing the weight of functional frames and requiring stronger support and greater comfort.
[0006] Generally, wearing 50g glasses will cause some discomfort, but it is physiologically tolerable. However, this depends on several factors: Initial wearing experience: Wearing 50g glasses on the bridge of the nose and ears will immediately create a noticeable feeling of pressure. Ordinary glasses typically weigh around 20-30g, so 50g exceeds this range, causing a noticeable foreign body sensation from the initial wearing stage. Effects of prolonged wear: Wearing 50g glasses for extended periods can lead to poor local blood circulation on the bridge of the nose and ears. This may cause pressure marks, redness, or even pain on the bridge of the nose, and the ears may also feel sore due to prolonged pressure.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a more comfortable frame support component. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary support component for eyeglass frames.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0010] The eyeglass frame auxiliary support assembly includes a pair of symmetrical support units, each support unit comprising a base and an elastic support portion.
[0011] The base is used to fix it to the inner side of the temple of the eyeglass frame.
[0012] One end of the elastic support is fixed to the base, and the other end is movable; the side of the elastic support is used to fit against the temporal region of the face and support the eyeglass frame.
[0013] The aforementioned elastic support is arc-shaped, and its deformation direction includes the thickness direction of the temple.
[0014] The cross-section of the aforementioned support unit is V-shaped.
[0015] Furthermore, the aforementioned support unit has a built-in spring with a "V" shaped cross-section.
[0016] Furthermore, the aforementioned base is part of a reed.
[0017] Furthermore, the aforementioned elastic support is movably sleeved on another part of the spring.
[0018] The base is fixed to the temple by an adhesive layer.
[0019] The base is fixed to the temple by an elastic rubber ring.
[0020] The base and temples are integrated as one piece.
[0021] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0022] This invention provides an auxiliary support component for eyeglass frames. Through elastic deformation, it fills the space between the temples and the temporal region. The combination of elasticity and friction, along with support at the ear root, ensures the frame is securely worn on the face and allows it to float above the bridge of the nose, relieving pressure on the nose. A built-in spring provides sustained deformation force.
[0023] The frame support component of this invention has a simple structure, is easy to use, has a large contact area with the temporal region, low pressure, strong support, and high comfort. The V-shaped deformation also provides oblique support, and compared with the feedback from the nerve units at the bridge of the nose and cheekbone, the comfort of the temporal region feedback is also higher, making it more suitable for long-term wear of frames, especially for heavier functional frames. It has strong practicality and wide applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The markings in the attached diagram have the following meanings: 1. Base, 2. Elastic support, 3. Spring, 4. Elastic rubber ring. Detailed Implementation
[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] The temporal region, commonly known as the temples, is located on both sides of the forehead, above the outer edge of the eye socket, extending to the upper edge of the ear.
[0033] The eyeglass frame auxiliary support assembly includes a pair of mutually symmetrical support units.
[0034] The support unit consists of a base 1 and an elastic support 2. The elastic support is generally arc-shaped, with one end fixed to the base and the other end being movable. The cross-section of the support unit formed with the base is approximately "V"-shaped. The length of the elastic support includes at least the outer arc surface that fits against the temporal region of the face, and the cross-section of this outer arc surface is parallel to the inner surface of the temple.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] like Figure 1 (a) and Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the support unit is made of black silicone material that matches the color of the frame. The included angle of the support unit is approximately 60°, and the thickness is approximately 2mm; a pair of support units weighs 2.8g.
[0037] It is attached to the inner side of the temple of a certain brand of smart glasses frame with adhesive backing. The weight of the smart glasses frame after removing the nose pads is 51g (the lenses are not prescription lenses).
[0038] like Figure 4-6 As can be seen, in the frame using the support unit of this utility model, the ends of the temples are placed on the ears. The elastic support part fills the gap between the temples and the temporal area by deforming along the thickness direction of the temples (due to the properties of silicone, different amounts of deformation can be generated along the length direction of the temples and the thickness direction, resulting in a better fit and greater comfort). The force-bearing part of the frame is the reverse support force provided by the elastic force and friction after the supported ears and the elastic support part come into contact with the temporal area (temple). Through the four force-bearing surfaces, the front frame is suspended on the bridge of the nose, the bridge of the nose is no longer under force, and the wearing of the frame has a certain degree of stability.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] Based on the structure of Embodiment 1, a spring 3 with a V-shaped cross-section is placed inside the V-shaped support unit, which allows the silicone material to provide comfort while also having a more durable deformation force. Figure 1 As shown in (b).
[0041] Example 3
[0042] Based on the structure of Embodiment 1, an elastic rubber ring with tension can be provided on the outer side of the base. Four sets of elastic rubber rings are used to secure the temples, thereby fixing the position of the elastic support. The elastic rubber rings allow the support unit to move along the length of the temple, providing adjustability and adaptability to temples of different thicknesses and sizes. Figure 1 As shown in (c).
[0043] Example 4
[0044] Based on the structure of Embodiment 2, the structure of the base is further simplified, becoming just a part of the spring. Another part of the spring is covered with silicone to form an elastic support. This saves on the amount of silicone in the base, reducing its space requirement; conversely, it also increases the amount of silicone outside the elastic support to further improve comfort and reduce the impact of the spring's stiffness on comfort.
[0045] Example 5
[0046] Based on the structure of Embodiment 4, the base is further removed and integrated into the temple, making the temple and base spatially integrated. Alternatively, the spring of the base can be placed inside the temple through a pluggable structure, realizing the replaceability of the elastic support.
[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit this utility model in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
