Description

Description of the INDUSTRIAL UTILITY MODEL entitled: “SUPPORT FOR NOSE PAD FOR GLASSES, PARTICULARLY OF THE STONE TYPE” in the name of the company KALAKI DESIGN di Kalaki Haralabos with registered office in DOMEGGE DI CADORE (BL) - Via dell'Occhiale, 54 - with domicile for legal purposes at the office of the Agent Roberto DE BARBA, residing in MAS DI SEDICO (BL) - Via Casoni, 10 / A - Registered under no. 387 of the Register of Industrial Property Consultants. . Filed QA January 1999. - at no. BL 99 U OOOOod. This innovation concerns a particular construction feature of the support for the nose pads of glasses, particularly pads made of stone or natural crystalline material. The innovation features a stable attachment of the stone nose pad to the nose of glasses, featuring a support with a suitable cylindrical part, to be recessed into the body of the plate, combined with a traditional part for attachment to any of the current attachments for joining the plates to the front of glasses, the two parts of the support being joined together by an intermediate flange. The plates to be applied to the front of glasses, to support them on the person's face, are known to be made of silicone-type plastic material or another composition compatible with contact with the skin. * ^LcTalpplacchetterThey are equipped with a metal support that allows them to be fixed to the bracket connecting the front of the glasses, and this support is generally mushroom-shaped, with the larger part embedded in the body of the plate during the moulding phase, to ensure the best adhesion conditions between the metal body and the plastic body. As already mentioned, current plastic plates, if made with the right chemical composition, may have no effect on the skin they come into contact with. However, they do not add any particular optical or physical benefits and therefore do not affect the person's well-being. According to increasingly consolidated science, skin contact with particular stones or natural crystalline compositions ensures a person's well-being, acting on various centers of the human body, in relation to specific characteristics of the various stones. Thus, for example, contact with an aventurine quartz stone determines the diffusion of physical energy from the heart, while contact with a white quartz stone determines emotional balance, and contact with a citrine quartz stone determines a contribution of energy to the body and mind. According to this science, contact with a jade stone has an anti-stress effect, while contact with a rhodochrosite stone increases intellectual capacity and increases a person's self-esteem. These positive effects are currently achieved through the use of pendants or jewelry attached to the body via chains, bracelets, or other attachment systems, which in themselves are unnecessary except for this specific function and may even serve an ornamental purpose. According to this innovation, it is possible to use these stones, without the need for chains or other supports, by applying them to a tool, such as glasses, which have become an accessory, for sight or protection, now indispensable for almost everyone. To achieve this advantageous measure it was necessary to solve the problem of adequately fixing the stone to the glasses, since it is evident that a t Simply gluing one of its surfaces to the metal support would lead to rapid dissociation and loss of the stone itself, while a mechanical fastening with a screw and nut would cause an unbearable protrusion of the screw and a consequent dislocation of the skin. The aim of this innovation is to allow the advantageous use of natural stone or crystal plates, ensuring a safe and stable attachment to the metal support, therefore to the nosepiece bracket, while remaining smooth and full on the contact surface of the stone with the skin; Another aim of the invention is to present an external part of the support, which has a variable shape, so as to be able to be associated with any known type of fixing of the plate to the bracket of the frame. A further purpose of the invention is to hide any burrs on the drilling edge of the stone, as well as to prevent dirt from settling on that edge. These and other objectives are in fact perfectly achieved with the present innovation, as can be deduced from the following description of one of its construction forms, purely indicative and not limiting, also proposed with the aid of n. 3 schematic figures reproduced in the attached table and of which: - fig. 1 represents an axial sectional view of the plate made of stone or other natural crystalline material, made in any of the shapes suitable for the function of a nose pad for spectacles; - fig. 2 represents a vertical view of a metal support made to allow the support and stable fixing of the stone of fig. 1, according to the innovation; - fig. 3 represents an axial section view of the same support as fig. 2, applied to the stone of fig. 1 and to a nosepiece bracket for spectacles. In all figures the same details are represented, or are intended to be represented, with the same reference number. According to the construction solution of the cited figures, the support A in question is made up of a cylindrical end 1 protruding from a flange 2 to which an attachment 3 equipped with a through hole 4 is integral. Again according to the figures in the attached table, a P plate is made, in a suitable shape for spectacle nose pads, from stone or natural crystalline material such as quartz, rhodochrosite, jade, lapis lazuli, malachite, aquamarine or other materials that the science of crystal therapy recognizes as having beneficial effects on particular energy centers of the human body. As exemplified in fig. 1, this plate P is advantageously equipped with a blind hole 1 and a possible countersink 12 which allows for the elimination or reduction of any burrs on the edge caused by the crystallization of the material to be drilled. The blind hole 11 has dimensions just larger than the dimensions of the cylindrical end 1 of the support A, as it is intended to house it. As can be easily understood from fig. 3, the association of stone P with support A is made possible by inserting its cylindrical end 1 into the cylindrical hole 11 of stone B, after the same end 1 and the contact surface of flange 2 have been adequately spread with a suitable adhesive material. With this technique, the stability of the bond between support A and stone P is made possible, thanks to the anchoring effect constituted by the penetration of the end 1 in hole 11, thus overcoming the related problems of durability of the union, in accordance with one of the specified purposes. Even with this construction solution, with the countersink 12, any burrs on the drilling edge 11 are eliminated, ensuring perfect adhesion of the two bodies to be glued, as well as eliminating areas where sweat and dirt can accumulate, in accordance with other purposes mentioned. With reference to fig. 3, it was hypothesized to apply the support A and its stone P to a nosepiece bracket S for spectacles which is equipped with a cap C with a through hole to be aligned with the hole 4 of the support A, for the application of a screw 5 for closing and hinging the same support A, according to one of the known techniques. Other techniques for fixing the support A for the nose pads P are known, for example the snap-on type inside a slot, which however have a similar function. As already mentioned, the attachment 3 of the support A can consequently be shaped to fit one of the already known fastening techniques, without affecting the functionality of what has been illustrated up to now. According to a first constructive variation of the present invention, it is possible replace the cylindrical end 1 with two or more pins integral with the flange 2 and suitable for being housed in the same number of holes 11 prepared on the stone P. According to a further constructive variation of the same invention, it is possible to create a flange 2, whole or with spokes, having a perimeter equal to that of the plate P to be supported, providing its edge with hooks or a border suitable for retaining and holding the plate P. A further constructive variation of the invention in question is made possible from the interposition, between hole 11 and end 1 which is threaded, of an element elastic agent for expansion, with end 1 screwed onto said interposed elastic element, for its locking in hole 11. Naturally, the construction solution of the support A in question also allows the application of plates made from other materials, including those already currently in use, which can be associated with the support itself with suitable adhesives. It is also possible to create supports of the type in question that adapt to any known C-shaped dome and that ensure the solidity of the connection with the expected oscillation of the plate. These and other similar modifications or adaptations are in any case considered to fall within the originality and characteristics of the invention that is to be protected.
