Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eyewear technology, and in particular to a pair of sunglasses with interchangeable tinted lenses. Background Technology

[0002] Sunglasses, also known as sun visors, are used for sun protection. In sunlight, the human eye adjusts its pupil size to regulate light intake. When the light intensity exceeds the eye's ability to adjust, it can cause damage. Sunglasses block uncomfortable glare and protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. Sunglasses lenses come in various colors and have different functions. Most users are unaware of the appropriate use cases for different lens colors. Using the wrong lens color in an inappropriate situation can have problems. For example, blue lenses are suitable for wearing at the beach, effectively filtering out the light blue reflections from the sea and sky. However, blue lenses should be avoided while driving, as they can make it difficult to distinguish traffic signals. Most sunglasses only come with the lenses as they were manufactured; users cannot change the lens color themselves. Therefore, when wearing sunglasses in different situations, different lens colors need to be selected based on the specific needs of the environment, increasing the cost of use.

The disassembly piece is located on the temple near the hinge.

[0004] Using the above technical solution, a detachable tinted lens is installed on the frame, and a limiting mechanism for tinted lens installation and removal is also installed on the frame. A U-shaped buckle is installed on the tinted lens. During installation, the U-shaped buckle is snapped into the frame, and then the tinted lens is fully embedded into the frame, aligning the limiting hole with the threaded hole on the thickened beam. When in use, the installation and removal tool screws a portion of the limiting post located in the threaded hole into the limiting hole to complete the installation of the tinted lens. No other tools are needed for installation and removal. Users can change to different colored tinted lenses according to actual usage needs, making the sunglasses suitable for various usage scenarios and avoiding the situation where the sunglasses lens color does not match the usage scenario, thus limiting the usage effect.

[0005] A further feature of this invention is that each of the several pairs of colored lenses has a rubber mounting sleeve on both sides of its mounting frame, and the shape of the rubber mounting sleeve matches the U-shaped buckle.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, since both sides of the mounting frame of the plurality of pairs of colored lenses are provided with a rubber mounting sleeve, and the shape of the rubber mounting sleeve matches the U-shaped buckle, the connection between the colored lens and the frame can be made more secure through the rubber mounting sleeve.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the disassembly plate is provided with a flathead screwdriver that matches the slot, and a mounting stud is provided on the side of the disassembly plate, wherein a threaded hole matching the mounting stud is opened on the outer side of one of the temples.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, since the disassembly piece is provided with a flathead screwdriver that matches the flathead slot, and a mounting stud is provided on the side of the disassembly piece, and a threaded hole matching the mounting stud is opened on the outer side of one temple, the limiting post can be easily tightened or loosened by setting the flathead screwdriver. No other tools are needed when replacing the lens. Furthermore, the mounting stud allows the disassembly piece to be installed on the temple in normal conditions, avoiding loss.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that both the frame and the thickened beam are made of metal.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, since both the frame and the thickened beam are made of metal, they are not easily damaged by drops. Attached Figure Description
