1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a nose pad, in particular to a glasses structure which can be fixed on the glasses frame without any locking elements.
2. Description of the Related Art
Conventionally, the glasses frame is designed to have a recess in the middle part, and a nose pad can be placed therein, so that the nose pad is fixed to the inner side of the glasses frame with screws. However, the structure described above is lacking in a better fastness, resulting in that the nose pad may detach from the glasses frame due to external forces from collisions. Besides, in the long run, user abuse, humidity or sunlight might take its toll on the integrity of the locking structure. As a result, the nose pad is incapable of being firmly fixed on the glasses frame.
In view of the aforementioned obstacle to the prior art, the objective of the present disclosure is to provide a glasses structure which aims at resolving the current shortcomings concerning that the conventional glasses frame and the glasses structure have to be fixed to each other by using locking elements to achieve robustness.
The glasses structure provided in the present disclosure includes a nose pad, a glasses frame and a lens. The nose pad is disposed with a bendable device and a nose pad body covering the bendable device, wherein the nose pad body has a first coupling device on a top end thereof, and the bendable device has a second coupling device on a top end thereof. The first and second coupling devices cooperatively constitute a coupling structure on a top center end of the nose pad. The glasses frame is disposed with a lens insertion trench on one side thereof, and a middle part of the glasses frame is disposed with a containing trench which is connected to the lens insertion trench, wherein the coupling structure of the nose pad is detachably coupled to the containing trench of the glasses frame, wherein a front side of the coupling structure is entirely contained in the containing trench. The lens is inserted into the lens insertion trench of the glasses frame and leans against the coupling structure of the nose pad in the containing trench which is connected to the lens insertion trench, so as to confine the coupling structure of the nose pad. The lens has a back side, a front side opposite to the back side, and a circular side connecting the back side and the front side, wherein the lens is inserted into the lens insertion trench, and one end on the front side of the lens leans against a portion of the coupling structure of the nose pad, so as to confine the coupling structure of the nose pad
Preferably, a left end and a right end of the coupling structure of the nose pad are respectively disposed with an extended protrusion and the end on the front side of the lens leans against a back side of the extended protrusion of the coupling structure.
Preferably, the extended protrusion is the bendable device or is made of the material of the bendable device and the nose pad body.
Preferably, a shape of the nose pad body corresponds to the bendable device of the nose pad.
Preferably, the containing trench of the glasses frame is further disposed with one or a plurality of protruding cylinders, and the coupling structure of the nose pad body of the nose pad is disposed with one or a plurality of fixing holes corresponding to the one or the plurality of protruding cylinders.
Preferably, the shape of the coupling structure of the nose pad corresponds to the shape of the containing trench of the glasses frame.
Preferably, the bendable device of the nose pad is made of a metal.
Preferably, the nose pad body of the nose pad is made of a soft material.
Preferably, two sides of the middle part of the glasses frame are respectively disposed with a recess and the recess connects to the lens insertion trench and the containing trench of the glasses frame.
Preferably, the bendable device of the nose pad is made of a bendable metal, so that user adjusts the angle of the nose pad body of the nose pad for his/her own comfort.
Preferably, the bendable device of the nose pad is covered by the nose pad body using injection molding method.
As mentioned previously, a glasses structure of the present disclosure may have the following advantages.
1. The nose pad body of the nose pad of the present disclosure covers the bendable device, and the bendable device is made of a metal. Hence, user can adjust the angle of the nose pad to match the face for his/her own comfort.
2. The coupling structure of the nose pad of the present disclosure is detachably coupled to the containing trench of the glasses frame, and the lens is inserted into the lens insertion trench and leans against the coupling structure of the nose pad in the containing trench to confine the coupling structure of the nose pad. Consequently, the nose pad of the present disclosure can be coupled to the glasses frame without any locking elements, rendering the coupling mechanism hassle-free.

In addition, one side of the glasses frame 20 of the present disclosure is disposed with a lens insertion trench 21, and a middle part of the glasses frame 20 is disposed with a containing trench 22 which is connected to the lens insertion trench 21. Here, the coupling structure 13 of the nose pad 10 is detachably coupled to the containing trench 22 of the glasses frame 20, and the shape of the coupling structure 13 of the nose pad 10 corresponds to that of the containing trench 22 of the glasses frame 20. Specifically, a front side 13FS of the coupling structure 13 is able to be entirely contained in the containing trench 22, such that allowing the lens 30 passing through the lens insertion trench 21 to confine coupling structure 13 of the nose pad 10. The containing trench 22 of the glasses frame 20 may further be disposed with one or a plurality of protruding cylinders 221. The coupling device 121 of the nose pad body 12 of the nose pad 10 may be disposed with one or a plurality of fixing holes 122 thereon, and each fixing hole 122 corresponds to each protruding cylinder 221 disposed on the containing trench 22 of the glasses frame 20, thereby providing a better fixing mechanism.
Moreover, the lens 30 of the present disclosure has a back side 30BS, a front side 30FS opposite to the back side 30BS, and a circular side connecting the back side 30BS and the front side 30FS. The lens 30 is inserted into the lens insertion trench 21 of the glasses frame 20, and the lens 30 leans against the coupling structure 13 of the nose pad 10 in the containing trench 22 which is connected to the lens insertion trench 21 to confine the coupling structure 13 of the nose pad 10. Besides, two ends (such as a left end and a right end) of the coupling structure 13 of the nose pad 10 of the present disclosure are disposed with an extended protrusion 131, respectively, and the lens 30 leans against the extended protrusion 131 of the nose pad 10, wherein the extended protrusion 131 has a front side 131FS and a back side 131BS. Here, the extended protrusion 131 may be the bendable device 11 or may be made of the material of bendable device 11 and the nose pad body 12.
