[0008] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 8705123 [Patent Document 2] U.S. Patent No. 2,132,106 [Patent Document 3] U.S. Patent No. 4,196,982 [Patent Document 4] US Patent Application Publication No. 2005 / 0036101 [Patent Document 5] Korean Patent Application Publication No. 20130057644 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] The basic object of the present invention is to provide a spectacle system in which, in addition to a frame element in the form of a spectacle lens and a locking element, Hinge elements and It also has a nose bridge, Hinge elements and To provide a self-locking eyeglass system capable of stably mounting a nose bridge to a frame element, which can be conveniently, flexibly, and easily assembled, disassembled, replaced, and repaired without using tools.
[0010] In other words, the present invention aims to present an eyeglass system in which only the force of a human hand is required to mount and remove an eyeglass lens, said eyeglass lens being pressed manually as a locking element into a frame element which constitutes the most important locking function in a self-locking eyeglass system. Hinge elements and The nose bridge is locked and fixed by the eyeglass lenses. Bate Additional elements such as sample bars are locked to the frame elements. Good .
[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, the above object is achieved with a self-locking eyeglass system as set out in the preamble of claim 1 and as characterised by what is stated in claim 1.
[0012] Thus, self-locking means that multiple elements of the eyeglass system can be locked together to hold a relatively small number of elements of the eyeglasses together, and therefore can be held without the use of screws, nails, rivets, strings, or other loose parts, commonly known as retainers.
[0013] An uninterrupted frame element means that the frame element is one piece and does not have joints that can be opened or closed to set the locking element in place on the frame element.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting elements are positioned along the entire inside of the frame element, but in alternative embodiments they may be positioned along a portion of the inside of the frame element, and in yet another alternative embodiment the connecting elements may be positioned in several places around the inside of the frame element, separated by spaces where there are no connecting elements.
[0015] The frame elements can be made of metal or plastic, for example metals such as steel or titanium, or plastic materials of the type commonly used in the manufacture of eyeglasses.
[0016] In a further aspect, the invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the eyeglass system comprises an additional locking element.
[0017] That is, the eyeglass system comprises at least two locking elements.
[0018] The present invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, which comprises frame elements and further a nose bridge, which connects the frame elements and which comprises an adapter element complementary to at least one recess of each of the frame elements. Each adapter element has a connecting element that mates with a connecting element of a frame element when the adapter element of the nose bridge is mounted in a recess of the frame element. The adapter elements of the nose bridge are secured to their respective frame elements by a locking element.
[0019] In the case of eyeglasses comprising two frame elements and eyeglass lenses, both the nose bridge and, if present, the hinge element are connected to the two frame elements, which can then be brought together and locked into position, with the locking occurring when the locking element is in place.
[0020] A self-locking eyeglass system according to the invention may comprise a hinge element attached to a frame element having an adapter element corresponding to an adapter element on the nose bridge.
[0021] The present invention, in a further aspect, provides a frame element: Hinge element, and a nose bridge, which has a connection element suitable for connection to a locking element, for a self-locking eyeglass system.
[0022] This allows for frame elements, Hinge element, And if the nose bridge has a concave connecting element, it becomes possible to receive the locking element therein.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the frame element has a connecting element with two sides, so that one side of the connecting element can be flipped over the locking element, and then the connecting element has a side on each side of the locking element to hold the locking element in place. Thus, the connecting element, which has recesses on its bottom surface and two sides, can receive part of the side area of the locking element, thereby firmly holding the locking element.
[0024] A connecting element consisting of a recess with a base and two side surfaces essentially means a U- or V-shaped groove, the base of which can have any shape and the transition to the side surfaces can be sharp or curved, but must have side surfaces to prevent the spectacle lens from falling out of the frame element.
[0025] In another embodiment, a frame element: Hinge element, and the nose bridge has a protruding (tongue)-like connecting element for receiving the locking element, since when using this embodiment, the locking element must have a recess complementary to the protruding part, otherwise the connection will not be possible.
[0026] In a further aspect, the present invention provides a frame element, wherein each frame element further comprises at least one further second recess extending on at least one of the front and rear sides of the frame element, the further second recess extending between the at least one first recess of the frame element and an outer side of the frame element, the further second recess being located between the nose bridge and Bihi The present invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system for accommodating a lens element, respectively.
[0027] This allows the connecting element to Hinge elements and The nose bridge can also be fixed rotatably. Hinge elements and A nose bridge can be accommodated.
[0028] Nose bridge and Bihi The lens element can receive a lens element such as a lens element.
[0029] One does not exclude the other, so both the hinge element and the nose bridge can have connecting elements to the frame element to prevent rotation.
[0030] In an additional aspect, the present invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein each frame element further comprises at least one further second recess through at least one of the front and rear sides of the frame element, the further second recess extending between the at least one first recess of the frame element and an exterior of the frame element, the further second recess being for accommodating a second eyeglass element.
[0031] This allows for the reception of second eyeglass elements, such as additional reinforcing elements other than the nose bridge, or elements that do not have actual functional properties but are more of an architectural / design feature.
[0032] In a further aspect, the present invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the connecting element of the adapter element on the nose bridge is a longitudinal connecting element which, when the adapter element is attached to the frame element, is essentially in the same plane as the edge of the locking element into which the adapter element is inserted, and which connecting element is intended to work in precise cooperation with the locking element.
[0033] Thereby, the adapter element also functions as an adapter element for holding the locking element. In a preferred embodiment, the connection elements are similar, whether they are connection elements at the frame element, hinge element or nose bridge, whereby the connection elements around the frame element are generally similar.
[0034] In an additional aspect, the present invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein an adapter element on the nose bridge comprises a different material on a side of the adapter element intended to face the locking element.
[0035] This makes it possible to coat the connecting element of the adapter element or to place a gasket element between the connecting element and the eyeglass glass, thereby preventing direct contact between the eyeglass glass and the material from which the connecting element is made, e.g. a metal such as steel, titanium, etc. Alternatively, the connecting element can be a plastic material of the type commonly used when manufacturing eyeglasses.
[0036] In a further aspect, the present invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein an adapter element on the nose bridge and an adapter element present on the hinge element are fitted into a first recess of the frame element, and both the adapter element on the nose bridge and the adapter element present on the hinge element have opposite pulling and pressing forces relative to the frame element.
[0037] The hinge element may be provided in the eyewear system or may be embodied in another way.
[0038] This allows the nose bridge and hinge elements to move parallel away from the frame element, and thus towards the outside of the frame element, and then be locked in place on the frame element by the locking element when the locking element is inserted into the frame element. In a preferred embodiment, the translation can occur on directly opposing lines of force, but in alternative embodiments, the adapter elements on the nose bridge and the adapter elements on the hinge elements are moved only towards the outside of the frame element to a location desired for this purpose and constructed on the frame element for this purpose.
[0039] In an additional aspect, the present invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the eyeglass system further comprises at least one clasp having a respective clasp arm and clasp cushion, the clasp being disposed on a nose bridge or a frame element.
[0040] It is therefore possible to manufacture the fasteners or at least the fastener arms at the same time as manufacturing the bridge, or alternatively the fasteners should be attached to the bridge or directly to the frame elements later.
[0041] In a further aspect, the invention relates to a self-locking eyeglass system, wherein the frame elements are made of a material having elastic properties.
[0042] Here, the frame element having elastic properties means that the frame element can bend so much that the locking element with a snap function can be pushed into and engaged with the connecting element of the frame element, and the locking element is held firmly and constitutes the locking element.
[0043] In this way, the elastic and flexible properties allow the locking element to be manually inserted into the frame element, allowing the locking element to be inserted into the frame element with a continuous periphery, where the locking element engages with the connecting element of the frame element.
[0044] In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail by the description of non-limiting embodiments with reference to the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0050] A variant of the self-locking eyeglass system 1 having two frame elements 2 and two locking elements 3 is shown in Figures 3A-3B, and another variant is shown in Figures 3C-3D. The frame elements 2 have a front side 4, a back side 5, an outer side 6 with an outer periphery, and an inner side 7 with an inner periphery, and the frame elements 2 have an uninterrupted periphery. The self-locking eyeglass system 1 has two hinge elements 8 and a nose bridge 9, and the nose bridge 9 connects to the frame element 2. The frame element 2 is intended to connect to a temple bar (not shown) via the hinge elements 8.
[0051] 4A-4B show yet another variation of a self-locking eyeglass system 1 having two frame elements 2 and two locking elements 3. The frame elements 2 have a front side 4, a back side 5, an outer side 6 with an outer periphery, and an inner side 7 with an inner periphery, and the frame elements 2 have an uninterrupted periphery, and the self-locking eyeglass system 1 has two hinge elements 8 and a nose bridge 9, which connects the frame elements 2.
[0052] Figure 5 shows details of the assembly of the eyeglass system 1 with the frame element 2, to which is attached a hinge element 8 and a nose bridge 9 which is locked to the frame element 2 by a locking element 3. Figure 5 shows different cross sections of the eyeglass system 1, from Figure 5 AA it can be seen how the hinge element 8 and the nose bridge 9 are connected to the frame element 2 and to the locking element 3, Figure 5 BB shows a cross section at the hinge element 8, and Figure 5 CC and Figure 5 DD show cross sections elsewhere in the frame element 2.
[0053] FIG. 5 DD further shows that the frame element 2 has a connecting element 11 for connecting with the locking element 3 , and that the connecting element 11 is provided on the inner side 7 of the frame element 2 .
[0054] FIG. 5 AA further shows that the hinge element 8 also has a connecting element 12 and that the nose bridge 9 has a connecting element 13 for connecting with the locking element 3 .
[0055] 6A-6B show details of the frame element 2, the frame element having a second recess 14 passing through the rear side 5 of the frame element, the second recess 14 passing between the inner side 7 of the frame element and the outer side 6 of the frame element, the second recess 14 for receiving the hinge element 8.
[0056] Similarly, Figures 6A-6B show details of the frame element 2, which also includes a second recess 15 through the rear side 5 of the frame element, the second recess 15 passing between the inner side 7 of the frame element and the outer side 6 of the frame element, the second recess 15 for accommodating the nose bridge 9.
[0057] Similarly, Figure 6A shows different cross sections of frame element 2, where AA in Figure 6A shows a cross section of frame element 2 and the connecting element 11 of the frame element, and BB in Figure 6A shows a cross section of frame element x2, where the nose bridge 9 is located.
[0058] FIG. 6B shows the frame element 2 seen from the outside 6 where the hinge element 8 is located.
[0059] CC in Figure 6B shows a first recess 16 in the frame element 2, which is arranged in a direction from the inner side 7 to the outer side 6, for accommodating the hinge element 8. Correspondingly, a first recess 17 is shown in the frame element 2, which is arranged in a direction from the inner side 7 to the outer side 6, for accommodating the nose bridge 9.
[0060] FIG. 7 shows hinge elements 8 and nose bridge 9, each hinge element 8 comprising an adapter element 18 complementary to a first recess 16 in the frame element 2, and nose bridge 9 comprising an adapter element 19 complementary to a first recess 17 in the frame element 2.
[0061] 8 shows the nose bridge 9, from which it can be seen that the nose bridge 9 has adapter elements 19, each of which has a connecting element 13 for connecting with a locking element 3. The longitudinal connecting elements 13 that reach the adapter elements 19 are attached to the frame element 2 but are essentially in the same plane as the edge of the locking element 3 on which they are arranged, and the connecting elements 13 are intended to cooperate with the locking element 3 via grooves 20.
[0062] The adapter element 19 on the nose bridge 9 can also be provided with another material on the side of the adapter element 19 facing the locking element 3 on the connecting element 13 .
[0063] FIG. 9 shows a nose bridge 9 with integrated fastening arms 21 (to which fastening cushions, not shown, must be attached), from which it can be seen that the bridge 9 has adapter elements 19, each of which has a connecting element 13 for connecting with a locking element 3 via a groove 20.
[0064] 10A-10B show details of hinge element 8. Shown are adapter element 18 and connecting element 12. Longitudinal connecting element 12 is essentially in the same plane as the edge of locking element 3 when adapter element 18 is attached to frame element 2, and connecting element 12 is for cooperation with locking element 3.
[0065] 10B AA show different variants of the connecting elements 12 of the hinge element. The variants shown are also possible for the frame elements 2 and the nose bridge 9, and all connecting elements can be made in the form of recesses (grooves) or protrusions (tongues) for receiving locking elements 3 adapted to the shape of the connecting elements.
[0066] The adapter element 18 on the hinge element 8 can also be provided with another material on the side of the adapter element 18 facing the locking element 3 on the connecting element 12 .
[0067] FIG. 11 shows a separate eyeglass system 1, from which it can be seen that both the second recess 14 in the frame element for the hinge element 8 and the second recess 15 in the frame element for the nose bridge 9 are arranged on the rear side 5 of the frame element 2.
[0068] 12A-12B show yet another separate eyeglass system 1, from which it can be seen that the second recess 14 in the frame element for the hinge element 8 is arranged on the front side 4 of the frame element 2, and the second recess 15 in the frame element for the nose bridge 9 is arranged on the rear side 5 of the frame element 2.
[0069] 13A-15A show how the hinge element 8 and nose bridge 9 mate with the frame element 2. These figures essentially show that because the adapter element 19 on the nose bridge 9 and the adapter element 18 on the hinge element 8 fit into the first recess 17 and first recess 16 of the frame element 2, both the adapter element 19 on the nose bridge 9 and the adapter element 18 on the hinge element 8 have opposite pulling and pushing forces on the frame element 2.
[0070] 13A-13B show the mounting of hinge elements 8 to frame element 2, from which it can be seen that hinge element 8 is pulled in a direction from the inner side 7 of the frame element towards the outer side 6 of the frame element, and that hinge element 8 also corresponds to second recess 14 of frame element 2, which second recess 14 passes between first recess 16 of the frame element for hinge element 8 and the outer side 6 of the frame element. When hinge elements 8 are mounted in first recess 16 of the frame element, connecting element 12 of the hinge element necessarily matches connecting element 11 of the frame element, so that each hinge element 8 can be fixed to frame element 2 with locking element 3.
[0071] 14A-14B show the attachment of nose bridge 9 to frame element 2, from which it can be seen that nose bridge 9 is pulled in the direction from inner side 7 of the frame element towards outer side 6 of the frame element, and nose bridge 9 also corresponds to second recess 15 of frame element 2, which second recess 15 passes through first recess 17 of the frame element and between nose bridge 9 and outer side 6 of the frame element. Once nose bridge 9 is attached in first recess 17 of the frame element, connecting element 13 of the nose bridge matches connecting element 11 of the frame element, after which nose bridge 9 can be fixed to frame element 2 with locking element 3. In FIG. 14, hinge element 8 is already attached.
[0072] Figures 15A-15B show the attachment of the nose bridge 9 to another frame element 2, which is done in the same way as described in Figures 14A-14B. In Figures 15A-15B, the hinge elements 8 are already attached to each of the frame elements 2, and in Figure 15A the nose bridge 9 is attached to one of the frame elements 2, and in Figure 15B the nose bridge 9 is attached to the other frame element 2.
[0073] Figure 16 shows a variant of the frame element 2, in which part of the connecting element 11 of the frame element consists partly of the first recess 23 of the frame element 2 and partly of the locking device 24. Figure 16 AA shows how the first recess 23 has become larger in a cross section of the central part of the frame element 2.
[0074] 17A-17B show a variant of the eyeglass system 1, in which the frame element 2 has several first recesses 16 for the hinge elements 8 and also several second recesses 14 for the hinge elements 8. Furthermore, the frame element 2 has a first recess 17 for the nose bridge 9 and a second recess 15 for the nose bridge 9. The hinge element 8 shown in FIG. 17B has two arms 25, each arm 25 having an adapter element 18. Corresponding to the hinge elements 8 shown, the nose bridge 9 can also have more arms.
[0075] 18A-18B show a further variant of the eyeglass system 1, in which the frame element 2 has a first recess 16 for an adapter element 18 of the hinge element and several second recesses 14 for arms 25 of the hinge element. Furthermore, the frame element 2 has a first recess 17 for a nose bridge 9 and a second recess 15 for the nose bridge 9. The hinge element 8 shown in FIG. 18B has two arms 25 but only one adapter element 18.
[0076] 19A-19B show yet another variant of the eyeglass system 1, in which the frame element 2 has several first recesses 16 for adapter elements 18 of the hinge element and also several second recesses 14 for arms 25 of the hinge element. Furthermore, the frame element 2 has a first recess 17 for a nose bridge 9. The hinge element 8 shown in FIG. 19B has two arms 25, each arm 25 having an adapter element 18.
[0077] Figures 20 to 22 show a variant of the eyeglass system 1 with a rod 26 (second eyeglass element), in which each frame element 2 has at least one second recess 27 passing through the front side 4 or the rear side 5 of the frame element, the second recess 27 passing between the first recess 28 of the frame element for the rod 26 and the outer side 6 of the frame element, the second recess 27 being for receiving the rod 26.
[0078] Figure 21 shows the frame element 2 for the rod 26, showing the second recess 14 in the frame element for the hinge element 8, the second recess 15 in the frame element for the nose bridge 9 and the second recess 27 in the frame element for the rod 26. All second recesses are shown here on the rear side 5 of the frame element.
[0079] FIG. 22 shows a further modification of the eyeglass system 1 as shown in FIG.
