Screw-free connection structure for a frame and temples of eyeglasses

Abstract

The present invention discloses a screw-free connection structure for a frame and temples of eyeglasses. The eyeglasses are assembled primarily by a frame, two connection blocks, two elastic elements and two temples, wherein two temples are connected with a left and right end of the frame by the connection blocks, so that the temples and the frame can be connected together rapidly and securely without locking with screws.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a screw-free connection structure for a frame and temples of eyeglasses, and more particularly to a pair of eyeglasses that are assembled without using screws.

b) Description of the Prior Art

For most of eyeglasses, each side of lenses is installed with a temple respectively. To facilitate containing or carrying, the temples are collected inward with screws of pivot collection as pivot points. However, regularly folding the temples will allow the screws to get loose that the frame and the temples cannot be connected together securely.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the primary object of present invention is to improve the shortcomings of the conventional eyeglasses that use the screws as connection elements, by using screw-free parts to connect the frame and the temples, so that the frame and the temples can be combined securely.

To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

With reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, the present invention comprises a frame 10, two connection blocks 20, two elastic elements 30 and two temples 40, wherein a transversal open slot 111 is provided respectively between connection ends 11 at a left and right end of the frame 10, and an opening at a front edge of the open slot 111 is provided respectively with two latch pins 12 that face oppositely to each other, allowing a front side of the connection end 11 to form a concavo-convex structure design. An upper and lower end of the two connection end 11 are provided respectively with a latch hole 112 for locking with the elastic element 30 and an inner side of each connection end 11 is provided with a wall 13.

The aforementioned connection block 20 is provided with an I-shaped cross section, and is able to combine the frame 10 with the temples 40 as one unit. A latch slot 21 provides for latching the two connection ends 11 that are closed together. Two sides of two T-shaped cylinders 22 at an upper and lower end of the latch slot 21 are provided respectively with a longitudinal locking slot 23 and interiors of the left and right locking slot 23 are able to provide for locking into two latch pins 12 of the connection ends 11 to be positioned (the upper structure is the same as the lower structure). The elastic element 30 is in an “Ω” shape when being viewed from top, and above the elastic element 30 is provided with two elastic blocks 31 that can be latched into the two latch holes 112 of the connection ends 11 for positioning respectively, so that the four latch pins 12 of the connection ends 11 can be stably latched into the four locking slots 23 of the connection blocks 20 for positioning.

A front end of each temple 40 is in a shape of three forks and in a middle of the temple 40 is a straight elastic leaf 41. An upper and lower end of the temple 40 is an arc-shaped hook element 42, a front edge of the hook element 42 is provided with a baffle plate 421, and the hook elements 42 of the temples 40 are hooked on two cylinders 22 of the connection blocks 20, respectively. The elastic leaf 41 is transfixed into the latch slot 21 and is abutted at the connection end 11 of the frame 10. Two baffle plates 421 of the temples 40 are put against on the walls 13 of the connection ends 11 of the frame 10.

With reference to FIG. 4, to facilitate containing or carrying the eyeglasses, two temples 40 can be folded toward a center of the frame 10, wherein two hook elements 42 of the temples 40 are turned against the cylinders 22 of the connection blocks 20. At this time, two connection ends 11 of the frame 10 put against and extend outward the elastic leaves 42 of the temples 40, allowing the temples 40 to be in a folded state. If the temples 40 are to be restored to a normal state as in FIG. 1, a user only need to bend outward the temples 40 and then an elastic force of the elastic leaf 41 can bounce back two temples 40 instantaneously. Next, two hook elements 42 of the temples 40 are turned against the cylinders 22 of the connection blocks 20, restoring two temples 40 to their original positions.

Conclusively, in the present invention, the structure design of the connection ends between the frame and the temples is utilized, in association with the simple parts such as the connection blocks and the elastic elements, to securely assemble the frame with the temples, without the trouble that results from locking with the screws.

It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
