Abstract

We offer low-cost, attachable, luminous eyeglass grips that make existing eyeglasses easier to find in the dark. [Solution] A luminous eyeglass grip, which is a cylindrical, expandable member into which the temples are inserted, has a phosphorescent agent applied to or contained in at least a portion of its circumference along the axial direction of the temples, and is attached to the temples of eyeglasses so that the side with the phosphorescent agent applied or contained in it faces towards the head.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an attachable phosphorescent eyeglass grip that is suitable for allowing eyeglasses to be easily found even in dim places or darkness. [Background Art]

[0002] When an earthquake disaster or the like occurs at night, if the position of the eyeglasses is not immediately known, it is inconvenient because one cannot find the eyeglasses for evacuation or it takes time to find them. If one evacuates without wearing eyeglasses, it is expected to be dangerous as one may trip and fall, or collide with other people escaping. Therefore, there have been devices configured to allow eyeglasses to be found immediately even in dark places.

[0003] To make eyeglasses easy to find in dark places, there have been conventional technologies wherein a cover containing a phosphorescent agent is attached to an eyeglass frame, or the phosphorescent agent is mixed into the eyeglass frame itself. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3089630 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3089288 [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0005] The cover for an eyeglass frame described in Patent Document 1 is configured such that the cover containing a fluorescent agent can be attached to and detached from the eyeglass frame. However, there has been a problem that when the eyeglasses are used, the cover for the eyeglass frame containing the fluorescent agent enters the field of view, which makes it difficult for the user of the eyeglasses to see an object. Furthermore, there has been a problem that the design of the normally used eyeglasses is greatly changed.

[0006] Furthermore, in the eyeglass frames described in Patent Document 2, since the eyeglass frames themselves contain a fluorescent agent, there was a problem, similar to Patent Document 1, where the eyeglass frames containing the fluorescent agent entered the user's field of vision when wearing the glasses, making it difficult to see objects.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a luminous eyeglass grip that can be attached to existing eyeglasses, making them easier to find even in the dark, without interfering with the user's field of vision, and without significantly altering the design of the eyeglasses already being used. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The attachable phosphorescent eyeglass grip according to the present invention is a cylindrical, expandable member into which the temples are inserted, characterized in that a phosphorescent agent is applied to or contained in at least a portion of its circumference along the axial direction of the temples. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] In this invention, instead of being incorporated into the original design of eyeglasses, the accessory can be attached to the eyeglasses, allowing it to be added to existing eyeglasses without obstructing the user's field of vision.

[0010] Furthermore, it is easy to use for everyday wear. By using a flexible material containing phosphorescent material for the attachable luminescent glasses grips that are attached to the temples, the design allows them to be hidden by the ears and hair and not be noticeable even when the glasses are worn on the head, and they can be worn without feeling any pressure on the head.

[0011] Furthermore, if the portion of the attachable luminous eyeglass grip to which the phosphorescent agent is applied or contained is 1 / 8 to 1 / 2 of the circumferential cross-section of a cylindrical, expandable member, then when the attachable luminous eyeglass grip is mounted on the temple so that the portion with the phosphorescent agent applied or contained faces the head, the portion with the phosphorescent agent applied or contained will not be visible to others when the eyeglasses are worn on the head, thus making the attachable luminous eyeglass grip less conspicuous.

[0012] Furthermore, it is easy to use. Unlike luminous glasses cases, even in situations where you don't put your glasses back in the case, the luminescence of the phosphorescent material in the attachable luminous glasses grip of this invention, which is inserted into the temples of the glasses, allows you to recognize the position of your glasses.

[0013] Furthermore, it boasts superior functionality. By combining phosphorescent technology with a glasses grip, it offers the advantage of being able to locate the glasses in dark places such as at night, while also securing them to the face. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 5] A view of the glasses from the lens side when they are folded. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals in different figures indicate parts with the same function, and redundant explanations in each figure will be omitted as appropriate.

[0016] The attachable phosphorescent glasses grip 8 according to the present invention refers to a grip made of elastic material such as silicone rubber, wherein a phosphorescent agent is coated on or contained in the inner portion of the temple that faces the head side when wearing glasses. The portion 8-1 where the phosphorescent agent is coated or contained is white, and the other portion 8-2 where the phosphorescent agent is not coated or contained is indicated by hatching (black in Figures 1 and 4). The glasses are composed of a temple 1, an end tip 2, a rim (lens frame) 3, a hinge 4, a lens 5, a bridge (joint between two lenses) 6, and a pad (nose pad) 7.

[0017] Since the attachable phosphorescent glasses grip 8 is made of relatively elastic material such as silicone rubber, it can be easily attached to glasses that a user already owns. Therefore, it is not necessary to purchase new glasses when one desires to obtain the effects of the present invention.

[0018] Figure 2 is a perspective view of the attachable phosphorescent glasses grip 8 according to the present invention. The attachable phosphorescent glasses grip 8 is formed of a cylindrical elastic member. Any shape can be selected for the cylindrical member, for example, it may be cylindrical, or have an elliptical cross-section.

[0019] An example of the material for the cylindrical elastic member is silicone rubber, and the member can be inserted from the end tip 2 of the temple 1. Alternatively, a slit along the axial direction of the cylinder of the attachable phosphorescent glasses grip 8 may be provided on a part of the surface, so that the grip can be fitted onto the temple 1.

[0020] In FIG. 2, the portion 8-1 coated with or containing the phosphorescent agent is shown in white, and the other portion 8-2 is shown by hatching. It is preferable that the phosphorescent agent is coated on or contained in 1 / 8 or more and 1 / 2 or less of the cross-sectional circumferential direction of the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8. When the phosphorescent agent is coated on or contained in 1 / 8 or more and 1 / 2 or less of said cross-sectional circumferential direction, if the user attaches the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 such that the portion 8-1 coated with or containing the phosphorescent agent faces toward the head side when the user wears the spectacles, the portion of the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 on the opposite side to the head will face with the portion 8-2 not coated with or containing the phosphorescent agent, thereby making the spectacles fitted with the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 inconspicuous to others.

[0021] Furthermore, when the length of the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 in the cylindrical direction is 1 / 3 or more and 1 / 2 or less of the length of the temple, if the user wearing the spectacles attaches the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 to the temple 1 by moving it toward the end cell 2 side, the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 will not enter the field of view and will not interfere with the user's visibility. In addition, when a person wears the spectacles, the portion of the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 is covered by hair near the ear and becomes inconspicuous. Furthermore, even if the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 comes into contact with the user's head, since it is formed of a cylindrical elastic member, it does not impair the wearing comfort.

[0022] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 in a case where a phosphorescent agent is applied to silicone rubber having no phosphorescent effect. The attachment method and material are the same as those in FIG. 2, but the embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 in that the phosphorescent agent is not contained in the silicone rubber, but is applied to the surface of the cylindrical silicone rubber.

[0023] FIG. 4 is a view of the spectacles viewed from the temple side in a state where the attachable phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 of the present invention is attached to the temple 1 and the temple 1 is folded into the spectacles. At this time, when viewed from the temple 1 side, only the portion 8-2 of the phosphorescent spectacles grip 8 that is not coated with or containing the phosphorescent agent is visible.

[0024] Figure 5 shows the attachable phosphorescent eyeglass grip of the present invention attached to the temple 1, with the temple 1 folded into the eyeglasses, as viewed from the lens 5 side. When viewed from the lens 5 side, the phosphorescent portion 8-1 of the phosphorescent eyeglass grip 8 is visible through the lens 5. As a result, when placing the eyeglasses on a table or other surface, it is common to place them with the temple 1 side touching the table to avoid scratching the lens 5. Even when the eyeglasses are placed on a table or other surface in the dark with the temple 1 folded into the eyeglasses, the portion 8-1 coated or containing phosphorescent material can be seen, making it easy to locate the eyeglasses. [Industrial applicability]

[0025] This invention can be easily attached to the temples of existing eyeglasses, making it easy to find your glasses even in the dark. Furthermore, by using silicone rubber containing phosphorescent material for the grip portion of the glasses, it is designed to be less noticeable when wearing glasses in the dark, as it can be hidden by your ears or hair. In addition, unlike phosphorescent glasses cases, you can recognize the position of your glasses even when you don't put them back in a case. Moreover, by combining phosphorescent technology with the glasses grip, it has the advantage of indicating the location of your glasses in dark places such as at night, while also securing the glasses to your face.
