Description

Mirror frame with hidden lock body Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glasses, in particular to a glasses frame with a hidden lock body. Background Art

[0002] Glasses are an indispensable corrective tool and dressing item in modern life. After a long development process, in order to ensure the aesthetics of eyewear products, glasses are usually designed to be simpler, that is, the width of the frame is reduced as much as possible. The metal-framed glasses currently available on the market generally have frames that include a thinner part of the frame, namely the thin frame body. The thin frame body is generally used to wrap the lenses, and also includes thicker parts of the frame at each connection of the frame. In the process of installing lenses, in order to facilitate processing and make the structural arrangement more reasonable, the thinner part of the frame on both sides of the frame is generally selected to be divided into two openable and closable parts, the incision is usually located below the connection between the frame and the temples, and lock bodies are respectively provided at the incisions of the upper and lower parts. The two lock bodies are provided with matching threaded holes. After the frame is opened and the lenses are installed, fasteners are inserted into the threaded holes of the two lock bodies to achieve locking and fixation of the lenses in the frame.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN212781515U discloses a pair of glasses, including a cut frame, wherein one end of the cut position of the frame extends outward to form a first clamp; the other end of the cut position of the frame extends outward to form a second clamp, and the first clamp and the second clamp are the lock bodies mentioned above; the first clamp and the second clamp are respectively provided with a first threaded hole and a second threaded hole, and the frame is fixed by penetrating the first clamp and the second clamp.

[0004] In order to ensure the stability of the frame fixation and the mechanical strength of the fasteners inserted into the lock body, the glasses in the above-mentioned solution cannot reduce the width of the lock body. Therefore, the lock body is protruded from the outside of the frame, making the frame wider. As a result, when the user wears the glasses, the lock body is easily noticed by others, thereby reducing the aesthetics of the glasses.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent document CN204705775U discloses a pair of glasses, including a frame, temples, a temple cap and a locking block. The temple cap is equivalent to the connecting part mentioned above, which is used to connect the temples and the frame. The locking block is the lock body mentioned above. The frame is provided with an opening that divides the frame into an upper frame and a lower frame. The opening is equivalent to the incision mentioned above. The lens is installed in the frame using the incision. The lock body is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The upper frame is detachably fixed to the lock body by inserting a fastener through the first through hole, and the lower frame is fixedly connected to the lock body by driving a rivet into the second through hole.

[0006] The above scheme still selects to cut off the thinner parts of the left and right sides of the frame, and sets the lock body as a part of the connecting part. The lock body is hidden by passing fasteners and rivets whose length does not exceed the lock body. However, the above scheme adds additional components to the frame, thereby changing the frame structure and increasing the frame width, which also reduces the aesthetics of the glasses. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a mirror frame with a hidden lock body, in which a lock body assembly is hidden behind the mirror frame without changing the original structure of the mirror frame.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows: a frame with a hidden lock body, comprising a frame body and a lock body assembly connected thereto, the frame body comprising a thick frame body portion and a thin frame body portion for wrapping the lens, the thick frame body portion being wider than the thin frame body portion, the thin frame body portion being provided with a first incision and the frame body being divided into two openable and closable parts by the first incision, the respective lock bodies in the lock body assembly cooperating to lock the two openable and closable parts of the frame body and forming a locking position at the locking position, the locking position being offset from the first incision and the lock body assembly being located at the thick frame body portion through the offset, the lock body assembly being arranged toward the wearer and the lock body assembly located at the locking position having a width no greater than the thick frame body portion.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the lock body assembly is disposed within the thick frame portion existing in the original structure of the frame and is disposed toward the wearer, so that the eyeglasses obtained by the above-mentioned solution are not exposed outside the frame when worn. The thick frame portion mentioned in the above-mentioned solution is usually the connection portion of the frame to the temples, or it can also be a bridge or upper and lower beams existing in the original frame. Furthermore, the lock body assembly is usually connected to the frame by a fixed method, which can be integrally cast with the frame during the manufacturing process, or it can be fixed to the frame by methods such as direct welding or welding with additional components after the frame is processed. In addition, the lock body assembly and the frame can also be connected by a detachable method such as snap or thread locking. Depending on the different connection methods between the lock body assembly and the frame, the locking point can be a locking point between the lock bodies, a locking surface formed by splicing the lock bodies, or a locking hole directly provided on the frame body. Therefore, the eyeglasses obtained by the above solution are more beautiful. More importantly, the above solution does not require changing the original structure of the frame, thereby having better applicability and making the eyeglasses obtained by the above solution more diverse in design.

[0010] Furthermore, the lock body assembly is located at the connecting portion of the frame body for connecting the temples, the first incision is located below the connecting portion, and the lock body assembly includes a first lock body and a second lock body respectively arranged on the two openable and closable parts of the frame body, a first connecting strip is provided between the first lock body and the thin frame body, and the width of the first connecting strip located at the thin frame body is not greater than that of the thin frame body.

[0011] The connection between the temples and the frame body on either side is the thicker portion of the frame. Positioning the lock assembly at this connection allows the lock assembly to be hidden behind the frame while ensuring its width and mechanical strength. Furthermore, the first cutouts are located on the thin frame portions on either side of the frame body, further facilitating processing. The first connecting strip disposed between the first lock body and the thin frame portion can be considered an extension of the first lock body or the frame body, positioning the first lock body within the connection. Furthermore, the width of the first connecting strip located on the thin frame portion is configured to be no wider than the thin frame portion, preventing the first connecting strip from being exposed outside the frame body.

[0012] Furthermore, the first lock body and the second lock body are respectively provided with end surfaces that can be spliced, and the locking portion is a splicing surface formed after the first lock body and the second lock body are spliced ​​together.

[0013] The end surfaces corresponding to the first lock body and the second lock body are arranged to be spliced ​​together, that is, the end surfaces after the first lock body and the second lock body are spliced ​​together are locking points, and the locking point, that is, the splicing surface, can be a special-shaped surface, so that a plurality of fixed surfaces are formed after the two openable and closable parts of the frame body are locked, so that the connection between the two openable and closable parts of the frame body is more stable after locking; or the locking point, that is, the splicing surface, can also be a flat surface, thereby reducing the processing difficulty, and since the locking point and the first incision are still offset, the locking point set as a flat surface will not reduce the connection stability of the two openable and closable parts of the frame body after locking.

[0014] Furthermore, the first connecting strip is fixedly connected to the first lock body and the thin frame body respectively, one end of the first connecting strip fixedly connected to the first lock body is located between the two end faces of the first lock body, and the other end fixedly connected to the thin frame body is located outside the first lock body, and a second connecting strip is provided on the second lock body, and the splicing surface of the second connecting strip is flush with the first connecting strip.

[0015] The splicing surface formed after the first connecting strip and the second connecting strip are spliced ​​together can be staggered with the first incision and the locking position respectively, thereby further enhancing the connection stability of the two openable and closable parts of the frame body after locking by increasing the splicing surface, so that the lenses are fixed more stably in the frame; in addition, the splicing surface of the first connecting strip and the second connecting strip can also be flush with the locking position, that is, the splicing surface formed after the first lock body and the second lock body are spliced ​​together, thereby reducing the processing difficulty and improving the processing efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, the first connecting strip is connected to the first lock body by an integral molding manner, and the first connecting strip extends from the end surface of the first lock body away from the second lock body to the thin frame portion and is fixedly connected to the thin frame portion.

[0017] By using the first connecting strip as a part of the first lock body, after the first lock body is processed, it is only necessary to fix the first connecting strip and the thin frame body, thereby reducing the processing difficulty and improving the production efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, the first connecting strip is a part of the frame body and extends from the first incision toward the connecting portion and is in the shape of a boss, and the first lock body is fixedly connected to a portion of the boss located at the connecting portion.

[0019] The above solution configures the first incision as a special-shaped incision, thereby forming a first connecting strip on the frame body that can be spliced ​​with the other opening and closing portion of the frame body. The first connecting strip extends toward the connecting portion and is arranged in a boss-like shape, allowing the first lock body fixed to the first connecting strip to be located within the connecting portion. Similarly, the fixing position of the first lock body is not limited, as long as it forms a splicable end surface with the second lock body. By changing the cutting method of the first incision, the above arrangement makes the first connecting strip an integral part of the frame body, thereby making the frame body more concise and aesthetically pleasing.

[0020] Furthermore, the first lock body and the second lock body are respectively provided with communicating locking holes, and the lock body assembly further comprises a third lock body, and the third lock body cooperates with the locking hole to lock the two openable and closable parts of the frame.

[0021] In the above scheme, the connected locking hole can be a pin hole or a threaded hole, and the third lock body corresponding to the connected locking hole can be set as a pin or a fastener. The cooperation between the connected locking hole and the third lock body can achieve the locking between the first lock body and the second lock body, that is, the locking of the two parts of the frame that can be opened and closed is realized.

[0022] Furthermore, the first lock body and the second lock body cooperate to lock the two openable and closable parts of the frame in a locking manner, and the locking portion is a locking portion formed after the first lock body and the second lock body cooperate.

[0023] In addition to being fixed by forming a spliced ​​end face, the first lock body and the second lock body can also be fixed by a lock by changing the appearance of the first lock body and the second lock body. In this case, the locking point is the lock point formed after the first lock body and the second lock body are locked and fixed. The lock point can be a lock point or a lock surface, thereby making it more convenient to disassemble and assemble the two parts of the frame body that can be opened and closed.

[0024] Furthermore, the first connecting strip is a part of the first lock body, and the first lock body also includes a locking section located at the connecting portion. The first connecting strip portion is fixed to the thin frame portion, and the second lock body is surrounded by the locking section after being matched with the first lock body.

[0025] The first lock body uses a first connecting strip to position the locking section at the connecting portion. A threaded hole can be provided on the locking section and the connecting portion to connect. In this case, the second lock body corresponds to a fastener, and the locking portion is the threaded surface where the first and second lock bodies mate. Similarly, the locking section can also be configured as a hook, and the hook is arranged around the locking hole. When the locking section and the second lock body are in point contact, the locking portion is the locking point formed by the first and second lock bodies mating. When the locking section and the second lock body are in surface contact, the locking portion is the locking surface formed by the first and second lock bodies mating. Eyewear products manufactured using the above solution are more convenient for disassembly and assembly of lenses, thereby simplifying subsequent maintenance procedures.
