Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to impact-resistant spectacles capable of absorbing shock, and more particularly to impact-resistant spectacles capable of absorbing shock by cushioning members attached to temples. [Background technology]

[0002] An eyeglass frame generally has a front portion and a pair of temples rotatably attached to both ends of the front portion. These temples are rotatably attached to the ends of the front portion via hinges or the like, and can be folded up when not in use. However, there are also glasses that do not use hinges, but rather have the front and temple parts integrated with a super-spring metal to rotate.

[0003] Meanwhile, glasses are subject to a large shock when playing sports or the like, for example, when a baseball ball accidentally hits the face. Furthermore, for example, if a person wears glasses and bumps into something or falls, the glasses will be subjected to a large shock. This causes the front and temples to receive the same amount of impact, which is then transmitted to the face. In extreme cases, the face may become injured. In particular, since the temples are attached so as to run along the sides of the face, when an impact is received, the impact is felt over the entire side of the face, including the temples. For this reason, eyeglasses that can withstand impacts have been developed.

[0004] For example, in Patent Document 1, when an impact is received, the end piece deforms to absorb the external force of the impact. For this reason, the end piece has a unique shape that is deformed into a coil.

[0005] In addition, in Patent Document 2, of the two elastic wires, one inside and one outside, of the end piece, the inner cushioning piece is folded back in a hairpin shape to have a first convex bend portion and a second convex bend portion, thereby enabling it to absorb external shocks.

[0006] Moreover, Patent Document 3 discloses an eyeglass having a flexible connecting member between the end piece and the temple. When the eyeglass frame receives an impact, the flexible connecting member is elastically deformed and can be detached from the guide groove of the temple.

[0007] Furthermore, Patent Document 4 has a structure in which decorative blocks are arranged in a daisy-chain in a portion of a temple, and an elastic core rod is inserted into mounting through holes provided in these decorative blocks. The temples themselves have shock absorbing properties. However, in the event of an impact, the temples come into direct contact with the sides of the face, placing a great strain on the face.

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Registered utility model no. 3007469 [Patent Document 2] JP 2006-154207 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2003-215504 A [Patent Document 4] JP 2004-252026 A DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] The present invention has been developed to solve the problems associated with the prior art. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide impact-resistant spectacles A that can absorb impact by preventing the temples from directly hitting the face, by using cushion pads (members) attached to the temples. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] As a result of extensive research based on the above technical background, the inventors discovered that by providing a cushion pad with a gap in the temple, the cushion pad can absorb impact and minimize the impact being applied directly to the face, and this discovery led to the completion of the present invention.

[0011] That is, the present invention provides (1) a pair of impact-resistant spectacles A having a cushion pad 1 on a temple 2, the temple 2 being formed with a through hole 21 for attachment, the cushion pad 1 being removably fitted into the through hole 21 for attachment, And, The cushion pad 1 is composed of a block-shaped inner wall portion 11, a rib-shaped outer wall portion 12, and a connecting base portion 13 connecting them. The connecting base portion 13 is formed smaller and thinner than the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 and the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12. The block-shaped inner wall portion 11 has an open space portion 11A in the vertical direction. It consists in impact-resistant glasses A.

[0013] The present invention also provides a method for producing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: 2 ), the connecting base 13 is fitted into the mounting through hole 21. 1 The present invention relates to the impact-resistant glasses A described above.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for producing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: 3 ), penetration The space 11A has a space width gradually decreasing toward the rear. 1 The present invention relates to the impact-resistant glasses A described above.

[0016] The present invention also provides a method for producing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: 4 ) The cushion pad 1 is formed of synthetic rubber in the impact resistant spectacles A described above in 1.

[0017] The present invention also provides a method for producing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: 5 ), and a small through hole P is provided in the connecting base 13 of the cushion pad 1, which passes through the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 from the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12. 1 The present invention relates to the impact-resistant glasses A described above. The present invention also resides in (6) the impact resistant spectacles A as described in the above item 1, in which a support wall W is provided in the through space 11A.

[0018] In addition, as long as the object of the present invention is achieved, a suitable combination of the above (1) to (7) may also be adopted. Effect of the Invention

[0019] 1) In the impact-resistant spectacles A of the present invention, a through hole 21 for mounting is formed in the temple 2, and a cushion pad 1 is removably fitted into the through hole 21 for mounting. Therefore, even if an impact is applied to the spectacles frame from the outside, the impact can be mitigated. Moreover, if the cushioning effect weakens or the cushion pad 1 becomes dirty, it can be replaced with a new cushion pad 1. At that time, replacement can be easily performed by pulling and removing the cushion pad 1 from the mounting through hole 21. It is also possible to use the product with the cushion pad 1 removed. In this case, ventilation is possible through the mounting through holes 21, which has the advantage of keeping the wearer cool and preventing sweating.

[0020] 2) The impact-resistant spectacles A of the present invention are composed of a block-shaped inner wall portion 11, a rib-shaped outer wall portion 12, and a connecting base 13 connecting them, and the connecting base 13 is formed to be smaller and thinner than the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 and the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12, so that the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 acts as a brim (stopper) to accurately prevent the cushion pad 1 from falling out.

[0021] 3) In the impact resistant spectacles A of the present invention, the connecting base 13 is fitted into the mounting through hole 21, so that the cushion pad 1 can be easily mounted, and once mounted, the fitting force is maintained.

[0022] 4) In the impact resistant spectacles A of the present invention, the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 is penetration The space 11A provides cushioning and allows air to pass through, providing a heat dissipation effect and preventing sweating as much as possible.

[0023] 5) In the impact resistant spectacles A of the present invention, penetration Since the space width of the space 11A gradually decreases toward the rear, when an impact is received and the cushion pad 1 hits the side of the face, a component force is generated and acts (rearward) to prevent the eyeglasses from coming off. Furthermore, in the case of the front portion 3 having the hood portion 31, a gap is unlikely to occur between the front portion 3 and the face.

[0024] 6) In the impact resistant spectacles A of the present invention, the cushion pad 1 is made of synthetic rubber, so that it comes into soft contact with the skin of the face, feels good on the skin, and is not slippery.

[0025] 7) In the impact-resistant spectacles A of the present invention, a small through hole P is provided in the connecting base 13 of the cushion pad 1, penetrating from the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 to the block-shaped inner wall portion 11, so that air can pass freely through the cushion pad 1. Therefore, the heat dissipation function can be exhibited, and stuffiness due to sweat, etc. is less likely to occur, for example, while playing sports. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0027] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as necessary. In the drawings, the same elements are given the same reference numerals and duplicated explanations are omitted. In addition, unless otherwise specified, positional relationships such as up, down, left, right, etc. are based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings. Furthermore, the dimensional ratios of the drawings are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0028] The impact resistant spectacles A of the present invention exhibit more effective impact protection, particularly when used for sports. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0029] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is an oblique view showing impact-resistant spectacles A (with cushion pad 1 removed) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view showing impact-resistant spectacles A (with cushion pad 1 removed) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] FIG. 3 is a side view showing impact resistant spectacles A (with cushion pads 1 removed) according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing impact resistant glasses according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a side view thereof.

[0031] The impact-resistant spectacles A of the present invention comprise a front portion 3 having a lens portion R (for myopia, hyperopia, sunglasses, etc.) and temples 2 rotatably attached thereto, and the temples 2 are provided with cushion pads 1. This cushion pad 1 is removable, so it can be replaced with a new one or with one of a different shape. In the example shown in this figure, the front portion 3 is provided with a hood portion 31 for keeping out pollen and the like.

[0032] The impact resistant spectacles A of the present invention exhibit more effective impact protection, particularly when used for sports. In addition, it is possible to attach an inner lens frame to the bottom of the hood portion, but we will not go into detail on this point.

[0033] (Through mounting hole) First, the temple 2 of the impact resistant spectacles A is provided with a through hole 21 for attaching the cushion pad 1 thereto. The mounting through hole 21 is formed along the length direction of the temple 2 and has a long and narrow rectangular shape. As will be described later, this attachment through hole 21 is a hole into which the cushion pad 1 (more specifically, the connecting base portion 13 of the cushion pad 1) is fitted and attached. Incidentally, the connecting base 13, which will be described later, has a long and narrow rectangular shape that corresponds to the mounting through hole 21.

[0034] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a cushion pad of impact resistant eyeglasses according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 8 is a side view thereof. Furthermore, FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a cushion pad of the impact resistant eyeglasses according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to a temple 2. As shown in FIG.

[0035] The cushion pad 1 of the present invention is intended to prevent a direct impact on the face when the eyeglasses are subjected to an impact for some reason while the eyeglasses are being worn. The cushion pad itself can be placed between the temple 2 and the face to sufficiently mitigate the impact. The cushion pad 1 is an independent member separate from the temple 2, and by fitting it into the temple 2, the temple 2 of the impact resistant eyeglasses A becomes impact resistant.

[0036] The cushion pad 1 is made of a flexible material, such as synthetic rubber, raw rubber, silicone resin, or the like. When the cushion pad 1 is fitted into the through-hole 21 for attachment in the temple 2, the cushion pad 1 can be fitted by utilizing the flexibility of the cushion pad 1 itself. The cushion pad 1 is formed elongated and larger than the through-hole 21 for attachment of the temple 2 .

[0037] More specifically, the cushion pad 1 comprises a block-shaped inner wall portion 11, a rib-shaped outer wall portion 12, and a connecting base portion 13 connecting these (see Figs. 6 and 7). The connecting base portion 13 is formed to be smaller and thinner (having a smaller cross section in the vertical direction) than the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 and the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12. The connecting base 13 is narrower than the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 and slightly narrower than the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 (see FIG. 9).

[0038] That is, a block-shaped inner wall portion 11 and a rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 are formed so as to protrude outward from both ends of a connecting base portion 13 . Moreover, the connecting base 13 is set to be the same size as or slightly smaller than the through-hole 21 for attachment of the temple 2 .

[0039] Therefore, the connecting base 13 can enter the mounting through hole 21 . The rib-like outer wall portion 12 has a cross section in the vertical direction larger than that of the connecting base portion 13, and looks like a rib formed just around the connecting base portion 13. As described later, the cushion pad 1 has a through space 11A formed in the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 in the up-down direction, so that a relatively gentle cushioning force is obtained in the inward and outward directions (horizontal direction). The size of the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 is larger than the mounting through hole 21, so that it is difficult for it to slip outward.

[0040] That is, when the cushion pad 1 is fitted into the temple 2, the rib-like outer wall portion 12 plays a role of preventing the cushion pad 1 from slipping out. The rib-like outer wall portion 12 is thin, so that it has good flexibility and bendability and can easily pass through the mounting through hole 21 by deformation. The block-shaped inner wall portion 11 is formed in a block shape with a greater depth (horizontal width) than the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 , and it is preferable that the vertical width is smaller than the vertical width of the temple 2 .

[0041] The block-shaped inner wall portion 11 is spindle-shaped when viewed from above and gradually becomes smaller toward the rear. There is a through space in the vertical direction.

[0042] This through space 11A is formed by hollowing out the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 in the vertical direction, and in the figure, has a spindle shape that follows the outer shape of the block-shaped inner wall portion 11. That is, the width of the through space 11A gradually decreases rearward. Therefore, when an impact occurs and the cushion pad 1 hits the side of the face, a component force is generated, which acts (rearward) to prevent the glasses from coming off. The through space 11A provides an appropriate cushioning effect (elasticity). Incidentally, by putting some kind of stuffing (for example, sponge) in this through space 11A, the degree of cushioning of the cushion pad 1 itself can be changed. Next, the procedure for fitting the cushion pad 1 to the temple 2 will be briefly described.

[0043] 1) First, hold the cushion pad 1 and the temple 2 of the glasses in each hand, and align the rib-like outer wall portion 12 of the cushion pad 1 with the mounting through hole 21 of the temple 2 to perform positioning. 2) Then, the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 is firmly pressed into the mounting through hole 21 of the temple 2. As a result, the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 deforms and shrinks, and enters the mounting through hole 21. 3) When pressed further, the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 escapes from the mounting through-hole 21 and expands to the opposite side (outside). At this point, the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 and the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 sandwich the thickness portion of the temple 2 from both sides.

[0044] The connecting base 13 fits into the through-hole 21 for mounting of the temple 2, and both sides of the temple 2 are sandwiched between the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 and the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12, so that the cushion pad 1 is securely attached via the through-hole 21 for mounting of the temple 2. By the way, when glasses are used, they may become dirty or their cushioning may deteriorate. In such a case, it becomes necessary to replace the glasses with new ones.

[0045] When removing the cushion pad 1 from the temple 2 for replacement in this manner, the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 is lifted from the temple 2 from the outside with a fingernail or the like so as to peel it off slightly, and the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 is pulled strongly. Then, the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 enters the mounting through hole 21 and passes through it to be released to the outside together with the connecting base portion 13. Cushion pad 1 is now removed from temple 2.

[0046] This removal operation is the opposite of the operation of fitting the cushion pad 1 into the temple 2 described above. The above-mentioned operation of attaching or removing the cushion pad 1 using fingers can be easily performed by utilizing the cushioning properties (flexibility) of the cushion pad 1 itself. Next, another embodiment will be described.

[0047] (Second embodiment) FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a cushion pad of impact resistant eyeglasses according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a plan view thereof. In this embodiment, a small through hole P is provided in the connecting base 13 of the cushion pad 1, penetrating from the rib-shaped outer wall portion 12 to the block-shaped inner wall portion 11. Since the cushion pad 1 has such small through holes P, air can pass through them freely. It has a heat dissipation function, and for example, it is less likely to become stuffy due to sweat while playing sports.

[0048] (Third embodiment) FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing a cushion pad of impact resistant eyeglasses according to still another embodiment of the present invention. A through space 11A of the block-shaped inner wall portion 11 of the cushion pad 1 is partitioned into a plurality of through spaces 11A by providing a support wall W as shown in the figure. By providing such a support wall W, it is possible to increase the degree of cushioning of the block-shaped inner wall portion 11.

[0049] Although the present invention has been described above by taking the embodiment as an example, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, it is possible to impart decorative properties to the ribbed outer wall portion 12 of the cushion pad 1. The ribbed outer wall portion 12 of this cushion pad 1 is the portion that is exposed to the outside, and any decoration applied thereto can be easily seen by others. Therefore, in the cushion pad 1, the ribbed outer wall portion 12 can be utilized to provide decorative properties in addition to cushioning properties. Furthermore, the attachment through-hole 21 of the temple 2 is preferably located at a portion of the temple 2 that corresponds to the temple, but the position thereof can be freely determined along the longitudinal direction of the temple 2. [Industrial Applicability]

[0050] The impact-resistant spectacles A of the present invention have attachment through-holes 21 formed in the temples 2, and cushion pads 1 are removably fitted into the attachment through-holes 21, so that when an impact is applied to the side of the face through the temples 2, the impact is mitigated. The present invention is particularly suitable for use in sports spectacles, but can be applied to a variety of spectacles as long as this principle is utilized. [Explanation of symbols]
