DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Further description of this invention is made now through the embodiments of the invention and the accompanying drawings.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, a magnetic pulling type free hanging frame 1 comprises at least a plastic ring 11 and the lens 12 contained in the plastic ring 11, the lens 12 is contained in the plastic ring 11, and then is connected to the main eyeglass frame 2 by fitting the plastic ring 11 with the main eyeglass frame 2, so that the functions of the main eyeglass frame work coordinating with the functions of the pulling type free hanging frame, then the environment light enters into the eyes after double filtering of the lenses of the pulling type free hanging frame and the main eyeglass frame, which satisfies the needs of light processing for the customers; this hanging frame uses plastic rings not only because plastic materials are light in weight, but also because the molding technique of plastic materials is simple and only one molding process is needed to get the desired structure so that the production cost of the hanging frame is low. The pulling type free hanging frame 1 also comprises at least a magnet 14, said magnet 14 is inlayed in said plastic ring 11, the plastic ring 11 has reserved containing chambers, and the magnet 14 can be pressed into the containing chamber directly, so installing the magnet 14 is easy and the installing depth is easy to control, then we can press the magnet into the plastic ring to the depth so that the surfaces of the magnet is below the surfaces of the plastic ring, which can protect the surfaces of the main eyeglass frame and ensure the appearance is not destroyed. A positioning mechanism (the positioning mechanism includes the positioning blocks 131 and the positioning ring 132) is used to coordinate with the main eyeglass frame 2 is set on the plastic ring 11, the positioning mechanism confines the main eyeglass frame in certain region, so the front lens and the back lens are placed closely, and the positioning mechanism coordinates with the magnetic force to firmly connect the pulling type free hanging frame and the main eyeglass frame.


To enhance the magnetic force, multiple magnets 14 are separately set in plastic ring 11; the multiple magnets are cylinder-shaped type, bar-shaped type, or other else familiar shape type. Preferably, at least three magnets 14 are evenly set on the top of the plastic ring 11, similarly, multiple magnets 14 are evenly set at the bottom of the plastic ring 11. The amount of the magnet 14 is decided by the weight of the pulling type free hanging frame and the required magnitude of the magnetic attraction force, if the weight of the pulling type free hanging frame is relatively large and the required magnetic attraction force is relatively large, relatively more magnets are set in the plastic ring, if the weight of the pulling type free hanging frame is relatively small and the required magnetic attraction force is normal, a small amount of magnets are set in the plastic ring,


The positioning mechanism of this invention includes multiple positioning blocks 131 or a positioning ring 132. The positioning blocks 131 are bumps separately distributed along the perimeter of the plastic ring 11, these positioning blocks 131 are surrounded to form a place area to contain the main eyeglass frame 2, and these positioning blocks and the magnetic force cooperate to firmly connect the pulling type free hanging frame 1 to the main eyeglass frame 2. Similarly, the positioning ring 132 is a bump continuously distributed along the perimeter of the plastic ring 11, the surrounded area of the positioning ring 132 is used to contain the main eyeglass frame 2, and the positioning ring and the magnetic force cooperate to firmly connect the pulling type free hanging frame 1 to the main eyeglass frame 2. In this invention, preferably, there are anti-split slices 133 set above the positioning blocks or the positioning ring, when the main eyeglass frame 2 is placed in the place area, these anti-split slices 133 are set outside the main eyeglass frame 2 to ensure the pulling type free hanging frame 1 would not separate from the main eyeglass frame 2.


If there is a single plastic ring in this invention, that is, the pulling type free hanging frame 1 has only one eye ring, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, connecting the pulling type free hanging frame 1 with only one eye ring to the main eyeglass frame 2 can satisfies the needs of the customers.


If there are two plastic rings 11 in this invention, that is, the pulling type free hanging frame 1 has a left plastic ring and a right plastic ring, the bridge 15 is set between the left and the right plastic ring, and connects the left and the right plastic ring, so that the left and the right plastic ring are connected together; the bridge 15 of the pulling type free hanging frame is coordinated with the bridge of the main eyeglass frame, and the bridge 15 of the pulling type free hanging frame is set above the bridge of the main eyeglass frame. The structure of the bridge 15 can be made in various forms including “-”type form and U type form; if the structure of the bridge is U type, the U type bridge is set above the bridge of the main eyeglass frame, and beside the connection effect, the bridge also has the protection effect from splitting apart.


There are two connection types between the plastic rings and the bride: (1) elastic connection, in which direct plastic molding forms the one-body plastic rings and bridge (because of the elasticity of the plastic products, the pulling type free hanging frame and the main eyeglass frame have high matching degree, and the weight of the pulling type free hanging frame is reduced), as shown in FIG. 3; (2) hinge connection, in which the bridge made by a metal bar, and the two ends of the metal bars connect with the left and the right plastic ring separately, as shown in FIG. 6.
