[0001] Technical Field

[0002] The utility model belongs to the technical field of storage boxes, in particular to a glasses box for storing glasses. Background Art

[0003] At present, the glasses cases on the market are generally open and close glasses cases. When opening and closing this type of glasses case, you need to open the lid, then take out or put in the glasses, and then close the lid again. The operation has many steps and is relatively inconvenient. Authorization announcement number CN2602648Y discloses a push-type cylindrical glasses case. Although this glasses case is convenient for taking glasses, the internal structure of the glasses case is relatively complex, and the glasses can easily slip out from the opening at one end. Technical issues

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to design a glasses case so that the glasses case structure is simple and easy to take out.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A glasses case includes a case body having a cavity for storing glasses, an opening for entering and exiting glasses at one end of the case body, a groove for inserting one of the legs of the glasses into one side of the case, one of the legs of the glasses being inserted into the groove after being folded, and a limiting mechanism for limiting the opening of the legs of the glasses being provided on the case body, so that one of the legs of the glasses is placed in the groove after being folded and is limited in opening by the limiting mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting mechanism is a magnet installed on the glasses case and capable of attracting the glasses legs.

[0008] Preferably, the magnet is movably connected to the surface of the box body, and the glasses legs in the groove are unlocked by manually pushing the magnet.

[0009] Preferably, an elastic reset device is provided between the temple and the frame to keep the temple in an unfolded state.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic reset device is a torsion spring.

[0011] Preferably, the shape of the groove matches the shape of the temple, and after the temple cooperates with the groove, the groove forms a blocking portion that restricts the temple from sliding out.

[0012] Preferably, the box body comprises two sub-boxes that are interlocked.

[0013] Preferably, the box body is provided with a slide groove for the movement of the magnet, and the slide groove is communicated with the groove.

[0014] Preferably, after the magnet is movably engaged in the slide slot, at least a portion of the magnet is exposed to the outside, so that the magnet can be manually driven to move.

[0015] Preferably, the box body is made of plastic.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention utilizes a limiting mechanism on the glasses case to limit the opening of one of the glasses legs, so that the glasses can be folded and put into the glasses case, and the opening is convenient and quick.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5, which show a glasses case for easy removal of glasses 3, including a box body 1. In this embodiment, the box body 1 includes two sub-boxes that are buckled together. The box body 1 is made of plastic material. After the two sub-boxes are buckled together, the box body 1 has a cavity for storing glasses 3. One end of the box body 1 is provided with an opening 2 for the glasses 3 to enter and exit. It is worth noting that one side of the glasses case is provided with a groove 11 for one of the legs 31 of the glasses 3 to be embedded. The groove 11 is provided on the front of the glasses case. One of the legs 31 of the glasses 3 is embedded in the groove 11 after being folded, and the other parts of the glasses 3 are located in the glasses case. A limiting mechanism for limiting the opening of the legs 31 is provided on the glasses case. After the glasses 3 are folded, one of the legs 31 of the glasses is placed in the groove 11 and is limited to opening by the limiting mechanism. The structure of the limiting mechanism can be varied. In this embodiment, only a relatively simple and convenient structure is listed, but other conventional structures should also be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] In this embodiment, the restraining mechanism is a magnet 4 mounted on the glasses case that can attract the glasses' legs 31. In this embodiment, the magnet 4 is plate-shaped. The magnet 4 is movably engaged with the surface of the case 1. Manually pushing the magnet 4 unlocks the glasses' legs 31 from the groove 11. The arrangement of the magnet 4 allows one of the glasses' legs 31 to be inserted into the case after it has been folded and placed. After insertion, the magnet 4 generates an attractive force between the glasses' legs 31 and the magnet 4, forcing the magnet 4 toward the groove 11 and into the groove 11. The other glasses' legs 31 can then be manually folded into the groove 11, whereupon the other legs 31 can be attracted to the magnet 4, completing the storage of the glasses 3. To remove the glasses 3, the magnet 4 is simply pushed away from the groove 11. The legs 31 outside the case 1 shrink due to the attraction of the magnet 4, allowing them to be opened manually or automatically by a torsion spring 32 described below. The glasses 3 can then be removed from the case, resulting in a convenient and quick operation.

[0026] An elastic reset device is provided between the temple 31 and the frame to maintain the temple 31 in the unfolded state. In this embodiment, the elastic reset device is a torsion spring 32, one end of which is overlapped on the frame and the other end on the temple. This structure can be provided on both temples. To prevent the end of the external temple 31 from tilting after folding, the connection point on the frame where the temple 31 is connected to the outside of the case 1 is higher than the other end (see Figure 6 for the height of the temple ends). In this way, after folding, the temple 31 located outside the case is fully embedded in the groove 11, making it convenient to store in a pocket or other place, and preventing the temple 31 from being hooked and causing it to automatically unfold.

[0027] The shape of the groove 11 matches the shape of the temple 31. After the temple 31 cooperates with the groove 11, the groove 11 forms a blocking portion that restricts the temple 31 from sliding out. This design utilizes the bent portion at the end of the temple 31. When the temple 31 is pulled outward, the glasses 3 cannot be pulled out due to the obstruction of the bent portion, thereby preventing the glasses 3 from sliding out of the opening 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, a slide groove 12 for the movement of the magnet 4 is provided on the box body 1, and the slide groove 12 is communicated with the groove 11. After the magnet 4 is movably engaged in the slide groove 12, at least a part of it is exposed to the outside, so that the magnet 4 can be manually driven to move. When the magnet 4 is installed, since the box body 1 is a plastic part and the groove 11 is weak and has a certain flexibility, the magnet 4 is forced to arch the middle of the sub-box where the magnet 4 is installed during installation so that the magnet 4 can be engaged from the mouth of the slide groove 12. After the magnet 4 is engaged in the slide groove 12, it will not slide out due to the restriction of the inner wall of the groove 11. When installing, it is best to first install the magnet 4 into the sub-box and then buckle the two sub-boxes.

[0029] In this embodiment, when taking out the glasses, first push the magnet. After the magnet is pushed out, the temples of the glasses located on the outside of the box body automatically open. Then, hold the opened temples of the glasses with your hands and pull out the glasses. After the glasses are pulled out, the temples of the glasses will fully open. When putting the glasses in, push the side of the glasses with the opened temples into the opening of the glasses case. When pushing in, the temples of the glasses that are in contact with the opening of the glasses case will automatically close until the glasses are pushed to the bottom. Then, press the other temple of the glasses into the groove on the side of the box body until it is attracted by the magnet to prevent the glasses from falling off the box body.
