Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is directed to goggles, particularly to land sports such as skiing,
Regarding improvement of goggles suitable for water sports such as board sailing.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, goggles include a lens and a frame that supports the lens from the surroundings and is attached to the face. In this frame, grooves for inserting the outer peripheral portion of the lens are formed in the upper, lower, left, and right frame portions that are relatively soft and flexible such as vinyl chloride, and the outer peripheral portion of the lens is inserted in the groove, I am trying to fix the lens. Then, the frame is formed in a curved shape protruding toward the front side so as to follow the shape of the face. On the other hand, most lenses are flat and relatively thin, and are made into a curved shape by attaching them to a frame formed in a curved shape.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

At the designing stage, this frame is designed to have a shape with a curvature that is closest to the shape of the face, but when the lens is attached, the curvature often changes. Specifically, by mounting a flat lens, the curved shape of the relatively flexible frame is affected, the curvature becomes large, and it becomes difficult to follow the face.
Further, the curvature of the frame changes due to the shrinkage of the material during the molding, and it is difficult to obtain the designed frame shape. Therefore, the design is performed by predicting the change in the curvature, but the change in the curvature is not constant depending on the type of the material of the frame, the conditions of molding, the hardness of the lens, etc., and it is impossible to accurately predict the change. It's no exaggeration to say.

Further, the frame may be provided with an accent such as a line along the frame for decoration. This accent is generally printed, but once printed, its color cannot be changed. Moreover, since the frame extracted from the molding die is indefinitely curved, it is necessary to print while the frame is mounted on a jig and the shape is kept constant.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-200320 discloses a goggle including a rigid front frame and a flexible rear frame connected to the rigid front frame, and a lens held by the front frame.

However, the goggles provide a rigid front frame with a complete frame shape capable of holding a lens, and connect a flexible rear frame having substantially the same shape as the rigid front frame to the rear of the rigid front frame. Therefore, the rigidity of the entire goggles is extremely high due to the rigid front frame having the perfect frame shape. As a result, the curved shape of the entire goggles becomes immovable, and the flexible rear frame only partially corresponds to slight irregularities on the face, and it cannot be denied that the entire goggles become rigid.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems by providing the following goggles.

The goggles of the present invention include a lens 1 and a frame 2 that supports the lens from the surroundings and is attached to the face. This frame has upper, lower, left and right flexible frame portions 41, 42, 43 for supporting the lens 1, and at least one of the upper frame portion 41 and the lower frame portion 42 extends over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. The narrow groove 9 is formed, and the bone members 81 and 82 are embedded in the narrow groove 9.
Is harder than the frame member in which is embedded.

In addition, the present invention provides the bone member 81,
The surface of 82 is exposed from the surface of the frame part 4.

[Work]

In the present invention, by embedding the hard bone members 81 and 82 in the flexible frame portion 4, the bone members regulate the curvature of the frame portion and prevent the curvature of the frame from increasing. Even if the curvature changes, the change is made as small as possible so that the wearing feeling of the goggles is not adversely affected without erasing the flexibility and elasticity of the frame portion.

Particularly, in the present invention, the bone members 81 and 82 are made of the flexible frame portion 4
By being embedded inside, it becomes integral with the flexible frame portion 4 and adds rigidity to the entire goggles. At this time, since the bone members 81 and 82 are embedded in the narrow groove 9, they are not as thick as the conventional rigid front frame and do not form a complete frame for holding the lens. It also does not cause the goggles to become rigid as a whole.

Further, by exposing the surface of the skeleton member from the surface of the frame portion, the skeleton member can be used as a design accent. Therefore, it is not necessary to print on the frame, and it is not necessary to mount the frame on the jig to keep its shape constant.

〔Example〕

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of goggles according to an embodiment, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a front view of a side frame, and FIG.
The drawing is a sectional view taken along the line IV-IV in FIG.

This goggle is composed of a lens 1, a frame 2 that supports the lens from the surroundings and is attached to the face, and a belt 3 for attaching the frame 2 to the face. The belt 3 has an attachment / detachment tool 31 for the frame 2 at the end portion and is attachable / detachable to / from the frame. However, the configuration can be appropriately changed except for this embodiment.

The lens 1 has a relatively thin thickness, and the frame 2
It has a flat plate shape before being attached to, and is attached to the frame 2 to form a curved shape with its center protruding forward.

The frame 2 includes a frame portion 4 formed of an appropriate material having appropriate flexibility for mounting on the face such as vinyl chloride, and a sponge cushion portion 5 bonded to the rear surface of the frame portion 4.
With. The frame portion 4 supports the lens 1 from the surroundings, and the upper frame portion 41, the lower frame portion 42, and the left and right side frame portions 43 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the frame portion 4
In order to increase the bonding area between the cushion portion 5 and the cushion portion 5, a flange 45 is formed so as to project from the rear surface of the upper frame portion 41, the lower frame portion 42, and the left and right side frame portions 43. Further, a window portion 46 for air conduction is formed on the upper surface of the upper frame portion 41, and this window portion is closed by the ventilation plate 6 made of sponge.

The frame portion 4 of the frame 2 is preliminarily formed in a curved shape with its center protruding forward, and the lens 1 is fitted into the groove 7 formed continuously on the inner surface of the frame portion 4 by surrounding the periphery thereof. It is attached to the frame 2 and is deformed from a flat plate shape to a curved shape as described above. At this time, conventionally,
Since the frame portion 4 is relatively soft and flexible, such as vinyl chloride, the curved shape of the frame is affected by mounting a flat lens, and the curvature thereof becomes large. However, in the present invention, by embedding a relatively hard bone member in the frame portion, the curvature of the frame is prevented from becoming large, and even if the curvature changes, the change is made as small as possible. I did not have a bad influence on the wearing feeling of.

In this embodiment, the bone members are embedded in the upper frame member 41 over substantially the entire length of the upper frame member 41, the lower frame member 42 is embedded in the lower frame member 42 over the substantially entire length, and the left and right side frame members. It is constructed by integrally molding four members, which are a side bone member 83 buried over substantially the entire length of 43. All of these were molded from a nylon resin that was harder than vinyl chloride in the frame, and after molding, they were embedded by being embedded in the embedding groove 9 formed in the front surface of the frame (FIG. 2). These bone members 81, 8
2, 83 and the frame portion 4 may be bonded, but if the fitting is complete, they do not necessarily have to be bonded, and not bonding is advantageous because the bone members 81, 82, 83 can be replaced. . Further, in order to ensure this fitting, the bone members 81, 8
It is also possible to form a pin protruding from the inside of 2, 83, form a pin insertion hole in the embedded groove 9, and fit the pin into the insertion hole.
desirable. Furthermore, increase the diameter of the tip of this pin a little,
It is also preferable to make the fitting of both stronger. Also, in this embodiment, the bone members 81, 82, 83
Although the surface was exposed without being completely buried in the frame portion 4, it may be completely buried in the frame portion 4.
In this case, the bone member may be arranged in a mold for molding the frame portion, and the frame portion may be injection-molded.

The upper bone member 81 may be formed by a single member having the same width continuously extending from the right end to the left end of the upper frame portion 41.
In this embodiment, the wide width portion 10 is provided in the center, and the lens attaching / detaching pins (not shown) are formed on the back surface thereof. In this lens fixing structure using a pin, the pin is composed of a shaft portion and a frame-side locking portion formed at one end thereof, and the frame-side locking portion is formed from a notch portion formed on the upper side of the lens to the frame. The lens is fitted into the formed receiving hole, and the upper front surface of the lens is pressed by the rear surface of the wide portion 10. The lens can be easily replaced by removing the pin, but an attachable / detachable structure other than the pin may be used, or the same type of pin may be arranged at the left and right ends of the frame portion. . Of course, this kind of attachment / detachment structure may not be used at all, and the lens may be simply fitted into the groove of the frame portion 4, and the groove may be stopped within the range necessary for fixing the lens. Further, instead of using the groove, the lens may be fixed by using other fixing means such as a pin or a locking claw.

Next, although the upper bone member 81 and the lower bone member 82 are thin-line members, the side bone members 83 have the shapes shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 in order to have a function of a ventilator. did. That is, the side bone member 83 is formed wider than the upper bone member 81 and the lower bone member 82, and the air communicating hole 84 is formed. The size, number, etc. of the conducting holes 84 may be changed appropriately, but in this embodiment, two relatively large holes are arranged above and below. Then, the side frame portion 43 is formed with a cut portion 47 corresponding to the conduction hole 84 so that air is introduced into the inside of the lens 1. Of course, the side bone member 83 may also be a thin wire, and even if the side bone member 83 is not formed at all, the correction of the curvature of the frame is not affected.

In this way, by embedding the bone member in the frame, it is possible to correct the curvature without erasing the flexibility and elasticity of the frame, and hinder the feeling of wearing by the flexible frame. There is nothing to do.

Each of these bone members 81, 82, and 83 is integrally formed over the entire circumference of the frame portion 4.
82 and 83 may be formed separately, and if the bone member is embedded in at least one of the upper frame portion and the lower frame portion in the longitudinal direction without arranging over the entire circumference, Correction of curvature is possible. However, embedding in both the upper frame portion and the lower frame portion is advantageous in that the curvature of the frame portion can be corrected in the same manner as in the vertical direction.

In addition, in this embodiment, each of the bone members 81, 82 and 83 has a color different from that of the frame portion 4 so as to be an accent in design. Conventionally, it is common to insert an accent by printing, and in that case, a jig is required as described above, but by using each bone member 81, 82, 83 for decoration, printing using a jig is performed. You don't have to. Moreover, once printed, the color cannot be changed. However, when the color is changed by sharing the bone member with the accent as in the embodiment, only the bone member is embedded in the groove of the frame. It is possible to change it by simply removing it from 9 and inserting another color.

Moreover, since the bone member substitutes for the jig for supporting the frame at the time of printing, it is not necessary to use the jig when printing is further performed on the frame itself of the frame and the bone member.

In addition to the above-described embodiments, the present invention can be implemented by being modified in various ways. For example, the lens 1 may have a relatively thick curved shape.
In this case, the influence of the lens itself on the frame portion 4 is small, but by using the bone member, the bone member corrects the error in the curvature at the time of molding the frame portion to be closer to the curvature at the time of design, The entire frame can be made.

Further, the bone member may be implemented by making the area of the part exposed on the surface of the frame part larger than the area of the part buried in the frame part. Further, in the embodiments, the goggles in which the left and right eyes are covered with one lens are taken as an example, but the left and right lenses may be used separately.

The bone member can be changed to another material provided that it is harder than the frame portion.

[Effect of device]

In the goggles of the present invention, by embedding a relatively hard bone member in the frame portion, the bone member regulates the curvature of the frame portion and prevents the curvature of the frame from increasing. Even if the curvature changes, the change is made as small as possible so as not to delete the flexibility and elasticity of the frame part and to not adversely affect the wearing feeling of the goggles. As described above, the present invention can provide goggles with which the design concept can be easily realized as it is in the product and the wearing feeling can be further improved.

Further, since the surface of the bone member is exposed from the surface of the frame portion, the bone member can be used as a design accent.
