Description

本発明は、例えば眼鏡装着者の頭部やアクセサリを装着する者の腕、首など人の身体のほか、動物の身体や機器その他の物品などの被装着体に、眼鏡やアクセサリその他の装着物を装着する際に、前記装着物の装着部分を前記被装着体にフィットさせることのできる部材に関し、特に、前記被装着体の形状や大きさが変化しても、当該変化に追随して変形することでフィット状態を維持できる形状適応性部材に関する。   The present invention is not limited to a human body such as a head or neck of a spectacle wearer's head or an accessory wearer, but also a wearable object such as an animal body, equipment, or other article, and glasses, accessories or other attachments. In particular, even when the shape and size of the mounted body change, the member that can fit the mounting portion of the mounted object to the mounted body when the mounting body is mounted is deformed following the change. It is related with the shape adaptive member which can maintain a fitting state by doing.

被装着体に装着物を装着するに際して、前記装着物の装着部分の形状が被装着体の形状や大きさに適応することが求められる部材の一例として、眼鏡フレームのテンプルを挙げることができる。前記テンプルは、眼鏡装着者の側頭部(被装着体)にフィットすることで、眼鏡フレーム(装着物)の脱落やずり落ちを抑制する。
しかし、一般に眼鏡フレームは統一規格で量産されているため、前記眼鏡装着者の頭の形状や大きさが変わると、テンプルやモダンが前記眼鏡装着者の頭部に適度にフィットしなくなるという不具合が生じる。このような不具合を解消するべく、眼鏡販売店において眼鏡フレームを眼鏡装着者に合わせて微調整することが行われている。
As an example of a member required to adapt the shape of the mounting portion of the mounted object to the shape and size of the mounted body when mounting the mounted object on the mounted body, a temple of a spectacle frame can be cited. The temple is fitted to the temporal region (attachment body) of the spectacle wearer, thereby preventing the spectacle frame (attachment) from dropping or slipping off.
However, since the spectacle frames are generally mass-produced in accordance with the unified standard, there is a problem that when the shape and size of the head of the spectacle wearer changes, the temple or modern does not fit properly to the head of the spectacle wearer. Arise. In order to solve such a problem, a spectacle frame is finely adjusted in accordance with the spectacle wearer at a spectacle store.

また、テンプル基部の蝶番部分にばね性を担持させ、前記蝶番部分のばね力によりテンプルを側頭部に押し付けることで脱落やずれを防止しようとしたばね蝶番眼鏡も周知である。
図5は、蝶番部分にばね性を担持させた眼鏡フレームの作用を説明する図である。レンズを保持するフロントフレームFの左右両端に、テンプルTが蝶番Cによって折り畳み自在に取り付けられている。蝶番Cにはばねが組み込まれていて、眼鏡装着者の頭部Hを挟みつけるように左右のテンプルT,Tにばね力を付与するようにしている。
Spring hinge glasses are also known in which a spring property is supported on the hinge portion of the temple base, and the temple is pressed against the temporal region by the spring force of the hinge portion to prevent dropping or displacement.
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the spectacle frame in which the hinge portion is supported by the spring property. Temples T are attached to the left and right ends of the front frame F holding the lens by a hinge C so as to be foldable. A hinge is incorporated in the hinge C, and a spring force is applied to the left and right temples T and T so as to sandwich the head H of the eyeglass wearer.

この種のばね蝶番Cを備えた眼鏡フレームでは、頭部幅L1の頭部H1にフィットするようにテンプルTの形状や左右のテンプルT,T間の幅が調整された眼鏡フレームを、頭部幅L2(L1<L2)の頭部H2の装着者が装着すると、左右のテンプルT,T間の幅が頭部幅L2に合わせて広がり、眼鏡装着者の頭部H2を左右から挟持する。   In the spectacle frame provided with this kind of spring hinge C, the spectacle frame in which the shape of the temple T and the width between the left and right temples T and T are adjusted so as to fit the head H1 having the head width L1 is used. When the wearer of the head H2 having the width L2 (L1 <L2) is worn, the width between the left and right temples T and T expands according to the head width L2, and the head H2 of the spectacle wearer is sandwiched from the left and right.

しかし、左右のテンプルT,Tは、頭部幅がL1からL2に変化することにより、蝶番Cを支点として直線的に拡開するだけであるため、図5の仮想線で示すように、頭部H2と拡開後のテンプルTとの接触長が減少してフィット感が低下するという問題がある。また、頭部H2に合わせて左右のテンプルT,T間の幅がL2に拡がると、その分蝶番Cのばねによる挟持力も強くなり、眼鏡装着者に違和感を与えるなどの不都合も生じる。   However, since the left and right temples T and T are only linearly expanded with the hinge C as a fulcrum when the head width is changed from L1 to L2, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. There is a problem that the contact length between the portion H2 and the temple T after the expansion is reduced, and the fit is lowered. Further, when the width between the left and right temples T, T is expanded to L2 in accordance with the head H2, the holding force by the spring of the hinge C is increased correspondingly, which causes inconvenience such as giving a feeling of strangeness to the spectacle wearer.

このような問題点を解決するべく、例えば特許文献1に記載された眼鏡フレームのように、テンプルに弾性部分(特許文献1の符号45で示す部分)を設け、眼鏡装着者の頭部の幅に応じてテンプル(弾性テンプル)が当該弾性部分で弾性変形することで、頭部幅の異なる眼鏡装着者であっても違和感を抑えつつフィット感を向上させた眼鏡フレームも知られている。   In order to solve such problems, for example, as in a spectacle frame described in Patent Document 1, an elastic portion (portion indicated by reference numeral 45 in Patent Document 1) is provided on the temple, and the width of the head of the spectacle wearer is determined. Accordingly, a spectacle frame is also known in which a temple (elastic temple) is elastically deformed at the elastic portion to improve fit while suppressing discomfort even for spectacle wearers with different head widths.

このような弾性テンプルを備えた眼鏡フレームでは、装着者の頭部幅が図5に示す場合と同様にL1からL2に変化すると、前記弾性部分が、当該部分に作用する応力に応じて弾性変形する。その変形の形態は、図5のばね性を有する蝶番Cのような直線的なものではなく、内側に湾曲した弧状のものとなるため、頭部の大きさや形状が変化しても、眼鏡装着者の頭部H1,H2との間で比較的長い接触長さを維持することができるという利点がある。また、弾性テンプルの後端部を眼鏡装着者の頭部H1,H2に沿うように予め大きく湾曲させておけば、さらに接触長を延長させることができるという利点がある。   In the spectacle frame having such an elastic temple, when the wearer's head width changes from L1 to L2 as in the case shown in FIG. 5, the elastic portion is elastically deformed according to the stress acting on the portion. To do. The deformed form is not a straight line like the hinge C having the spring property of FIG. 5, but is an arcuate shape curved inward, so that even if the size or shape of the head changes, the wearing of glasses There is an advantage that a relatively long contact length can be maintained between the person's heads H1 and H2. In addition, if the rear end portion of the elastic temple is largely curved in advance along the heads H1 and H2 of the spectacle wearer, there is an advantage that the contact length can be further extended.

しかし、この種の眼鏡フレームにおいても、未だ側頭部に接触する部分の接触状態の維持が不十分で、部分的に点接触状態となって眼鏡装着者に違和感を覚えさせるなどの問題があった。また、この種の眼鏡フレームにおいては弾性部分(特許文献1の符号45で示す部分)が剥き出しであるため、眼鏡フレームのデザインを考慮しつつ当該弾性部分の形状を設計しなければならず、十分なフィット性を有する弾性部分を設計することは困難であるという問題もある。
そのため、このような弾性テンプルにおいて、全体的に側頭部に接触する部分の押圧力を抑制しつつ、脱落やずれの抑制を、ばね性を有する蝶番で補おうとする眼鏡フレームも提案されている。
However, even with this type of spectacle frame, there is still a problem that the contact state of the portion that contacts the temporal region is still insufficient, and the point wears partly, causing the spectacle wearer to feel uncomfortable. It was. Further, in this type of spectacle frame, since the elastic portion (the portion indicated by reference numeral 45 in Patent Document 1) is exposed, the shape of the elastic portion must be designed in consideration of the design of the spectacle frame. There is also a problem that it is difficult to design an elastic part having a good fit.
For this reason, in such an elastic temple, a spectacle frame is proposed that attempts to supplement the suppression of dropout and displacement with a hinge having a spring property while suppressing the pressing force of the portion in contact with the temporal region as a whole. .

特開2008−96598号公報JP 2008-96598 A

本発明は、上記した従来技術の有する問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、被装着体の形状や大きさなどが変化しても良好な接触状態を維持することで高いフィット性を保つことができ、装着物の脱落やずれを効果的に抑制できる形状適応性部材の提供を目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and can maintain high fit by maintaining a good contact state even when the shape or size of the mounted body changes. An object of the present invention is to provide a shape-adaptive member that can effectively suppress the drop-off and displacement of the attachment.

上述したように、特許文献1に記載の眼鏡フレームのように、βチタンなどの材料を用いてテンプルに弾性を持たせれば、眼鏡装着者の頭部の形状や大きさが多少変化しても、それに追随してテンプル(弾性テンプル)と眼鏡装着者の側頭部との接触長の変化をある程度抑制し、フィット性を維持することができる。しかし、上記したように、このような従来の弾性テンプルにおいても、未だフィット性が不十分であるという問題がある。
本発明の発明者が鋭意検討した結果、上記した従来の弾性テンプルにおいてフィット性が不十分である理由は、弾性を担持する部分が弾性テンプルの前半部分だけであること、弾性を担持する部分が剥き出しでデザイン上の制約を受けること、という結論に達した。
そのため、テンプルの全長に亘って弾性を制御できるようにするとともに、芯材を他の部材で被覆するなどして芯材を外観上目立たないようにして、デザイン上の制約も受けないような形態にすれば、眼鏡装着者の頭部の形状や大きさが多少変化しても、一定以上の接触長を維持することができ、眼鏡装着者に違和感を与えず、脱落やずれを効果的に抑制できる眼鏡フレーム用のテンプルが得られるとして、本発明に想到した。
As described above, if the temple is made elastic by using a material such as β titanium as in the spectacle frame described in Patent Document 1, even if the shape and size of the head of the spectacle wearer changes slightly. Following this, a change in the contact length between the temple (elastic temple) and the temporal region of the spectacle wearer can be suppressed to some extent, and the fit can be maintained. However, as described above, even such a conventional elastic temple has a problem that the fitting property is still insufficient.
As a result of intensive studies by the inventors of the present invention, the reason why the above-described conventional elastic temple has insufficient fit is that the portion that supports elasticity is only the first half of the elastic temple, and the portion that supports elasticity is I came to the conclusion that I was exposed to design constraints.
Therefore, it is possible to control the elasticity over the entire length of the temple, and to make the core material inconspicuous by covering the core material with other members, so that the design is not restricted. In this way, even if the shape and size of the head of the spectacle wearer changes slightly, a contact length of a certain level or more can be maintained, and the dropout and displacement can be effectively prevented without causing the spectacle wearer to feel uncomfortable. The present invention has been conceived as a temple for a spectacle frame that can be suppressed is obtained.

さらに本発明の発明者は、本発明の目的を達成するにあたりコイルばねのような弾性部材に着目した。コイルばねのような弾性部材は、常に元の形状に戻ろうとする復元力が作用している。そして、コイルばねのような弾性部材は、それ単体では任意の形状の維持が困難であるものの、芯材と組み合わせることでその形状を任意の形状にできるだけでなく、その形状の維持が容易であるという利点がある。本発明の発明者はこのようなコイルばねの利点から、弾性を有する芯材との組み合わせによる本発明に想到した。   Furthermore, the inventor of the present invention paid attention to an elastic member such as a coil spring in achieving the object of the present invention. An elastic member such as a coil spring is always subjected to a restoring force for returning to its original shape. And although an elastic member such as a coil spring is difficult to maintain an arbitrary shape by itself, it is not only possible to change the shape to an arbitrary shape by combining with a core material, but it is also easy to maintain the shape. There is an advantage. The inventor of the present invention has come up with the present invention by combining with an elastic core material from the advantages of such a coil spring.

具体的に本発明は、請求項1に記載するように、曲げ方向に弾性を有する弾性部材から形成され、被装着体に対して密着するように形状が変化する形状適応性部材であって、中空状に形成された前記弾性部材と、前記弾性部材の中空孔に嵌入され、前記弾性部材と協働して前記弾性部材の形状を決定する芯材とを有し、前記弾性部材が前記被装着体との接触部分に対して一定長さで接触するように、前記芯材は少なくとも前記弾性部材の前記接触部分に挿入され、かつ、前記弾性部材と協働して基準となる前記被装着体の形状に沿わせて予めその一部又は全部が湾曲状に形成されているとともに、前記弾性部材に作用する弾性力とは逆方向に作用する弾性力を有し、前記基準形状と異なる形状又は異なる大きさの別の被装着体に装着したときに、前記弾性部材と協働して前記被装着体との前記接触部分に対して前記一定長さの接触状態を維持するように弾性変形する弾性変形部を一つ又は複数設けた構成としてある。   Specifically, as described in claim 1, the present invention is a shape-adaptive member that is formed from an elastic member that has elasticity in the bending direction, and whose shape changes so as to be in close contact with the mounted body, The elastic member formed in a hollow shape, and a core member that is fitted into the hollow hole of the elastic member and determines the shape of the elastic member in cooperation with the elastic member. The core member is inserted into at least the contact portion of the elastic member so as to come into contact with the contact portion with the mounting body at a predetermined length, and the mounted portion that becomes a reference in cooperation with the elastic member A shape that is partly or entirely curved in advance along the shape of the body, has an elastic force that acts in the opposite direction to the elastic force that acts on the elastic member, and is different from the reference shape Or when mounted on another mounted body of a different size Is a structure in which one or more elastically deformable portions to be elastically deformed so that the elastically member cooperating to maintain the contact state of the fixed length relative to the contact portion between the object to be mounted body.

この構成によれば、例えば直線状に復帰しようとする方向に弾性力を有するコイルばねなどの弾性部材に対し、芯材には、眼鏡装着者の頭部などの被装着体の形状に沿おうとする方向に弾性力を有するものを使用する。そして、予め基準となる被装着体の基準形状に合わせて芯材を塑性変形させ、かつ、逆方向に弾性力を有する前記弾性部材の弾性力との協働で前記弾性部材と前記芯材とが前記基準形状と一致するようにする。このように、前記基準形状の被装着体において、前記弾性部材と前記被装着体とが一定長さで接触するようにしておき、前記芯材には、一定の曲げ力を加えたときの弾性変形量が異なる弾性変形部を一つ又は複数設けておくことで、形状や大きさの異なる別の被装着体に弾性部材を装着したときにも、前記一定長さの接触状態を維持することが可能となる。弾性変形部の形態や配置は、被装着体の種類や形状又は大きさの変化の程度によって異なるが、実験や経験則により求めることができる。本発明の形状適応部材は、芯材が弾性部材によって覆われているので、芯材の形状が外観には現れず、従って芯材の形状を自由に選択することができるという利点がある。
このような作用を奏するのであれば、請求項2に記載するように、前記芯材は前記接触部分で複数に分割されていてもよいし、前記接触部分に複数の芯材が挿入されていてもよい。
According to this configuration, for example, an elastic member such as a coil spring that has elasticity in a direction to return to a straight line, the core material follows the shape of a mounted body such as the head of a spectacle wearer. Use one that has an elastic force in the direction of movement. The core member is plastically deformed in advance according to the reference shape of the body to be mounted as a reference, and the elastic member and the core member in cooperation with the elastic force of the elastic member having an elastic force in the opposite direction. Matches the reference shape. As described above, in the mounted body of the reference shape, the elastic member and the mounted body are in contact with each other at a certain length, and the core material is elastic when a certain bending force is applied. By providing one or a plurality of elastic deformation portions having different deformation amounts, the contact state of the predetermined length can be maintained even when the elastic member is mounted on another mounted body having a different shape or size. Is possible. The form and arrangement of the elastically deformable portion vary depending on the type, shape or size of the mounted body, but can be determined by experiment or empirical rule. Since the core material is covered with the elastic member, the shape adaptive member of the present invention has an advantage that the shape of the core material does not appear in the appearance, and therefore the shape of the core material can be freely selected.
If it has such an action, as described in claim 2, the core material may be divided into a plurality at the contact portion, and a plurality of core materials are inserted into the contact portion. Also good.

請求項3に記載するように、前記弾性部材としては、例えば金属線をコイル状に巻回した巻き線、複数の金属線を撚り合わせた撚り線又は複数の金属線を編んだ編み線を用いることができる。若しくはこれらの二種以上を組み合わせであってもよい。このような例としては、例えば前記巻き線の外側に前記撚り線や前記編み線を被せたものを挙げることができる。
一つの芯材における前記弾性変形部の配置は、弾性変形しやすい部分と弾性変形しにくい部分とを交互に配置するものを挙げることができる。この他にも、請求項4に記載するように、一つの前記弾性変形部において一定の曲げ力を加えたときの弾性変形量が不均一となるようにしてもよい。
また、請求項5に記載するように、前記弾性変形部の断面形状又は径を、複数の前記弾性変形部ごと又は一つの前記弾性変形部内で変化させてもよい。
As described in claim 3, as the elastic member, for example, a winding obtained by winding a metal wire in a coil shape, a stranded wire obtained by twisting a plurality of metal wires, or a knitted wire obtained by knitting a plurality of metal wires is used. be able to. Alternatively, a combination of two or more of these may be used. As such an example, for example, a wire in which the stranded wire or the knitted wire is covered outside the winding.
Examples of the arrangement of the elastically deforming portions in one core material include one in which portions that are easily elastically deformed and portions that are not easily elastically deformed are alternately arranged. In addition, as described in claim 4, the amount of elastic deformation when a certain bending force is applied to one elastic deformation portion may be non-uniform.
In addition, as described in claim 5, the cross-sectional shape or diameter of the elastic deformation portion may be changed for each of the plurality of elastic deformation portions or within one elastic deformation portion.

本発明では、前記弾性部材の弾性力と前記芯材の弾性力との協働により、形状適応性部材の弾性が決定される。そのため、請求項6に記載するように前記弾性部材及び前記芯材の少なくとも一方を交換可能とし、前記弾性部材と前記芯材の組み合わせを種々変更して、最適な組み合わせを得るようにすることも可能である。
例えば、本発明の形状適応性部材を眼鏡フレームのテンプルに適用した場合において、通常使用時と運動時とで前記テンプルによる押圧力を強弱調整したいような場合には、前記弾性部材及び前記芯材のいずれか一方又は両方を取り替えるようにすればよい。
本発明の形状適応性部材は、被装着体にフィットさせる必要がある部材であればその対象は特に限定はされないが、請求項7に記載するように、眼鏡フレームを構成する眼鏡用部品に好適に適用することが可能で、テンプル、モダン、ブリッジ又は智などへの適用が可能である。
In the present invention, the elasticity of the shape adaptive member is determined by the cooperation of the elastic force of the elastic member and the elastic force of the core member. Therefore, as described in claim 6, at least one of the elastic member and the core material can be replaced, and various combinations of the elastic member and the core material can be changed to obtain an optimal combination. Is possible.
For example, when the shape-adaptive member of the present invention is applied to a temple of a spectacle frame, the elastic member and the core material are used when it is desired to adjust the pressing force of the temple during normal use and during exercise. Any one or both of these may be replaced.
The shape-adapting member of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a member that needs to be fitted to the mounted body. However, as described in claim 7, the shape-adaptive member is suitable for a spectacle component constituting a spectacle frame. It can be applied to temples, modern, bridges, or wisdoms.

本発明によれば、眼鏡装着者の頭部など被装着体の形状や大きさが基準形状や基準大きさに対して変化しても、この変化に応じて被装着体に装着体を一定長さで接触するようにして、適度にフィットする形状適応性部材を提供することが可能になる。本発明を例えば眼鏡フレームのテンプルに適用した場合、前記芯材と前記弾性部材との協働とにより、常に最適な接触長さで眼鏡装着者の頭部にテンプルを接触させることができ、ずれにくく脱落しにくい眼鏡フレームの提供が可能になる。   According to the present invention, even if the shape and size of the wearable body such as the head of the spectacle wearer changes with respect to the reference shape and the reference size, the wearable body is fixed to the wearable body for a certain length according to this change. Thus, it is possible to provide a shape-adaptive member that fits moderately so as to come into contact with each other. When the present invention is applied to, for example, a temple of a spectacle frame, the temple can always be brought into contact with the head of the spectacle wearer with the optimum contact length by the cooperation of the core member and the elastic member. It is possible to provide eyeglass frames that are difficult to drop off.

さらに、例えば眼鏡販売店において、基準となる頭部形状や大きさに合わせたテンプルの眼鏡フレームを何種類か用意しておいたり、複数種類の弾性部材と芯材とを適宜に組み合わせたりすることで、前記テンプルの形状を個々の眼鏡装着者に合わせて微調整しなければならない回数が減り、眼鏡販売店の負担を大幅に軽減すること可能になる。
本発明の形状適応性部材は、眼鏡フレームに限らず、ブレスレットやその他身体に装着するアクセサリ又は他の装着物にも適用が可能である。
In addition, for example, in an eyeglass dealer, several types of temple eyeglass frames that match the reference head shape and size are prepared, or multiple types of elastic members and cores are appropriately combined. Thus, the number of times that the temple shape needs to be fine-tuned according to the individual spectacle wearer is reduced, and the burden on the spectacle store can be greatly reduced.
The shape-adaptive member of the present invention is not limited to a spectacle frame, but can also be applied to a bracelet, an accessory attached to the body, or other attachments.

以下、本発明の好適な実施形態を、図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。
図1(a)は本発明の形状適応性部材の一実施形態を示す図、(b)は(a)の形状適応性部材に用いられる芯材の一例を示す図、(c)(i)(ii)(iii)は、(a)のI−I方向の断面形状の一例を示す図、(d)(i)(ii)(iii)は、(b)のII−II方向における弾性変形部の断面形状の一例を示す図である。
なお、以下の説明において形状適応性部材は、装着体である眼鏡フレームのテンプルに用いられるものとし、被装着体である眼鏡装着者の頭部に前記眼鏡フレームを装着したときに、前記テンプルの形状が前記眼鏡装着者の頭部に適応するように弾性変形するものとして説明する。
DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1A is a diagram showing an embodiment of a shape-adaptive member of the present invention, FIG. 1B is a diagram showing an example of a core material used in the shape-adaptive member of FIG. (ii) (iii) is a figure which shows an example of the cross-sectional shape of the II direction of (a), (d) (i) (ii) (iii) is the elastic deformation in the II-II direction of (b). It is a figure which shows an example of the cross-sectional shape of a part.
In the following description, it is assumed that the shape-adaptive member is used for a temple of a spectacle frame that is a wearing body, and when the spectacle frame is attached to the head of a spectacle wearer that is a wearing body, The description will be made assuming that the shape is elastically deformed so as to be adapted to the head of the eyeglass wearer.

図1の例において形状適応性部材1は、弾性部材としての巻き線12と、この巻き線12の中空孔12aに挿入される線状の芯材11とを有する。中空孔12aの径は、芯材11を挿入できるものであれば特に限定はされないが、芯材11の最大外径とほぼ同じとするのが好ましい。
巻き線12は、金属線をコイル状に密に巻回したコイルばね状のもので、直線状の軸線Zに沿った形状(図1(a)の形状)を基本形状とする。前記金属線としては、ステンレス鋼、ばね鋼、Ti又はTi合金、NT合金、ベリ銅などの弾性を有する金属の他、超弾性樹脂などの樹脂材料を使用することができる。この巻き線12に、軸線Zと交叉する方向に曲げ力を加えて湾曲させると、基本形状に復帰しようとする弾性力が巻き線12に生じる。巻き線12に生じる復帰方向の弾性力の大小は、前記金属線の材質や線径などによって調整することができる。
巻き線12の断面形状は図1(c)(i)に示すような円形に限らず、例えば(c)(ii)に示すような楕円形や(c)(iii)に示すような角形としてもよい。
In the example of FIG. 1, the shape adaptable member 1 includes a winding 12 as an elastic member and a linear core member 11 inserted into the hollow hole 12 a of the winding 12. The diameter of the hollow hole 12a is not particularly limited as long as the core material 11 can be inserted, but is preferably substantially the same as the maximum outer diameter of the core material 11.
The winding 12 is a coil spring shape in which a metal wire is densely wound in a coil shape, and has a shape along the straight axis Z (the shape in FIG. 1A) as a basic shape. As the metal wire, a resin material such as a super elastic resin can be used in addition to a metal having elasticity such as stainless steel, spring steel, Ti or Ti alloy, NT alloy, and beryl copper. When the winding 12 is bent by applying a bending force in a direction crossing the axis Z, an elastic force is generated on the winding 12 to return to the basic shape. The magnitude of the elastic force in the return direction generated in the winding 12 can be adjusted by the material and diameter of the metal wire.
The cross-sectional shape of the winding wire 12 is not limited to the circular shape as shown in FIGS. 1C and 1I. For example, the winding 12 has an elliptical shape as shown in (c) and (ii) and a square shape as shown in (c) and (iii). Also good.

芯材11は、巻き線12と同様にステンレス鋼、ばね鋼、Ti又はTi合金、NT合金、ベリ銅などの弾性を有する金属の他、超弾性樹脂などの樹脂材料で形成することができる。芯材11は巻き線12と協働して、前記眼鏡装着者の頭部に前記眼鏡フレームを装着したときに生じる曲げ力により、前記頭部に対して前記テンプルが一定長さに亘っての接触状態を維持し、前記頭部を左右から挟持する弾発力をテンプルに発生させる。ここで、本発明の形状適応性部材を眼鏡フレームに適用したときの「一定長さ」とは、前記テンプルが眼鏡装着者のこめかみ部分から後頭部に亘って接触する長さを指す。   The core material 11 can be formed of a resin material such as a super elastic resin in addition to a metal having elasticity such as stainless steel, spring steel, Ti or Ti alloy, NT alloy, and beryl copper similarly to the winding wire 12. The core member 11 cooperates with the winding wire 12 to cause the temple to extend over a certain length with respect to the head due to a bending force generated when the spectacle frame is mounted on the head of the spectacle wearer. A contact state is maintained, and the elastic force which pinches | interposes the said head from right and left is generated in a temple. Here, the “constant length” when the shape-adaptive member of the present invention is applied to a spectacle frame refers to a length with which the temple contacts from the temple portion of the spectacle wearer to the back of the head.

前記頭部の大きさや形状が変わっても前記一定長さの接触状態を維持するために、この実施形態の芯材11は、図1(b)に示すように、前記眼鏡装着者の頭部に前記眼鏡フレームを装着したときに生じる曲げ力により、湾曲状に弾性変形する長さS1,S2,S3・・・の弾性変形部111,112,113・・・と、前記曲げ力によってはほとんど変形しない長さH1,H2,H3・・・の非変形部114,115,116・・・とを交互に配置した形態となっている。この実施形態では、弾性変形部111,112,113・・・の径を非変形部114,115,116・・・の径より小さくし、かつ、長さS1,S2,S3・・・及び長さH1,H2,H3・・・の寸法を適宜に選択することで、芯材11の変形の形態を調整して、前記一定長さの接触状態を維持できるようにしている。   In order to maintain the contact state of the predetermined length even if the size and shape of the head changes, the core material 11 of this embodiment is configured as shown in FIG. The elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113... Of lengths S1, S2, S3... Elastically deformed in a curved shape by the bending force generated when the spectacle frame is attached to the lens frame, and almost depending on the bending force. The non-deformable portions 114, 115, 116,... Having lengths H1, H2, H3,. In this embodiment, the elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113,... Are made smaller in diameter than the non-deformation portions 114, 115, 116, and the lengths S1, S2, S3,. By appropriately selecting the dimensions of the lengths H1, H2, H3,..., The deformation mode of the core material 11 is adjusted so that the contact state with the predetermined length can be maintained.

芯材11の変形の形態を調整して、前記一定長さの接触状態を維持するためには、上記したような弾性変形部111,112,113・・・の断面径だけでなく、断面形状によっても可能である。図1(d)にII−II部の断面形状の例を示すが、(i)のような円形の断面形状より、(ii)(iii)のような楕円形又は矩形の断面形状の方が芯材11を曲がりにくく、つまり弾性を大きくすることができる。また、断面形状を適宜に選択することで、曲げ方向を規制できるという利点もある。   In order to adjust the deformation mode of the core material 11 and maintain the contact state with the predetermined length, not only the cross-sectional diameter of the elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113. Is also possible. Fig. 1 (d) shows an example of the cross-sectional shape of the II-II part, but an elliptical or rectangular cross-sectional shape such as (ii) (iii) is better than a circular cross-sectional shape such as (i). The core material 11 is difficult to bend, that is, the elasticity can be increased. In addition, there is an advantage that the bending direction can be regulated by appropriately selecting the cross-sectional shape.

すなわち、図1(d)(i)に示すように断面円形状を有する弾性変形部111,112,113・・・は、あらゆる方向へ弾性変形が可能である。一方、図1(d)(ii)に示すように弾性変形部111,112,113・・・の断面を楕円形状とすれば、弾性変形部111,112,113・・・の弾性変形は一部の方向(図示の例では上下方向)において規制され、図1(d)(iii)のように矩形状とすれば、弾性変形の方向はほぼ一方向(図示の例では左右方向)にほぼ限定される。
このように、弾性変形部111,112,113・・・の径や長さ、断面形状、弾性変形部111,112,113・・・を形成する金属の材質などの組み合わせによって、弾性変形部111,112,113・・・弾性変形の程度や変形方向を自在に調整することが可能である。
That is, as shown in FIGS. 1D and 1I, the elastically deforming portions 111, 112, 113... Having a circular cross section can be elastically deformed in all directions. On the other hand, if the cross sections of the elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113,... Are elliptical as shown in FIGS. 1 (d) (ii), the elastic deformation of the elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113,. If it is restricted in the direction of the part (vertical direction in the illustrated example) and is rectangular as shown in FIGS. 1 (d) and (iii), the direction of elastic deformation is substantially in one direction (horizontal direction in the illustrated example). Limited.
As described above, the elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113,... Are combined by combinations of the diameter and length of the elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113,. 112, 113... The degree and direction of elastic deformation can be freely adjusted.

もちろん、弾性変形部111,112,113・・・の各々において、長さS1,S2,S3・・・・の全長に亘って断面径や断面形状を一定としてもよいが、長さS1,S2,S3・・・・途中部位で断面径や断面形状を変化させてもよい。弾性変形部111,112,113・・・の各々の材質を変化させてもよいし、焼鈍などによって弾性を変化させるようにしてもよい。
上記したような弾性変形部111,112,113・・・は、芯材11の途中部位をスウェージング、プレス又は切削することで形成することができる。
Of course, in each of the elastically deforming portions 111, 112, 113,..., The cross-sectional diameter and the cross-sectional shape may be constant over the entire lengths S1, S2, S3,. , S3... The cross-sectional diameter and the cross-sectional shape may be changed at an intermediate position. The material of each of the elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113... May be changed, or the elasticity may be changed by annealing or the like.
The above-described elastically deformable portions 111, 112, 113,... Can be formed by swaging, pressing, or cutting an intermediate portion of the core material 11.

上記構成の芯材11を弾性部材としての巻き線12の中空孔12aに挿入し、巻き線12の両端を芯材11に対して固定することで、形状適応性部材1が形成される。芯材11を巻き線12の中空孔12aに挿入するに先立ち、芯材11を予め設定された形状、例えば、基準となる眼鏡装着者の頭部の形状に合わせて塑性変形させる。巻き線12はコイルばね状であるので、塑性変形させた芯材11を巻き線12の中空孔12aに挿入することで、巻き線12は芯材11の形状に従った形状となる。
なお、形状適応性部材1の形状は、巻き線12が直線状に復元しようとする弾性力と予め設定された形状に復元しようとする芯材11の弾性力との協働によって決定されるので、芯材11の塑性変形後の形状は、基準となる眼鏡装着者の頭部に、芯材11と巻き線12とからなる形状適応性部材1が接触部分の全長に亘って前記頭部に接触するような形状を選択する。
The shape-adaptive member 1 is formed by inserting the core material 11 having the above configuration into the hollow hole 12a of the winding 12 as an elastic member and fixing both ends of the winding 12 to the core material 11. Prior to inserting the core material 11 into the hollow hole 12a of the winding wire 12, the core material 11 is plastically deformed in accordance with a preset shape, for example, the shape of the head of the spectacle wearer serving as a reference. Since the winding 12 has a coil spring shape, the winding 12 is shaped according to the shape of the core 11 by inserting the plastically deformed core 11 into the hollow hole 12 a of the winding 12.
In addition, since the shape of the shape adaptive member 1 is determined by the cooperation of the elastic force of the winding wire 12 that is to be restored to a linear shape and the elastic force of the core member 11 that is to be restored to a preset shape. The shape of the core material 11 after plastic deformation is the head of the spectacle wearer serving as a reference, and the shape-adaptive member 1 composed of the core material 11 and the winding wire 12 is applied to the head over the entire length of the contact portion. Select a shape that touches.

巻き線12は、鑞付けや溶着、接着などで眼鏡フレームの智などに固定することができる。ボルトやナットなどの螺旋によって前記智などに着脱自在とするか、前記智に対して芯材11を固定し、この芯材11に対して抜き差し自在とすることで、弾性や形状の異なる巻き線12に交換が可能となる。
また芯材11は、巻き線12に差し込んでその両端を固定したり、前記智に対して芯材11を固定したりすればよい。固定の方法としては、鑞付けや溶着、接着、ボルトやナットなどの螺旋又はストッパなどを挙げることができる。
ボルト、ナットなどの螺旋又はストッパなどを用いることで、巻き線12に対して芯材11を交換自在とすることができる。
このように、巻き線12又は芯材11のいずれか一方又はその両方を交換自在とすることで、例えば、スポーツ用と日常用などの用途の違いに応じて眼鏡装着者の頭部に対する押圧力の大小を切り換えたり、デザインや着色、模様などが異なる巻き線12に交換したり、巻き線12を別の弾性部材、例えば撚り線や編み線などに交換したりすることが可能となる。
The winding 12 can be fixed to the wisdom of the spectacle frame by brazing, welding, bonding, or the like. Windings of different elasticity and shape can be attached to or detached from the wisdom by means of a spiral such as a bolt or nut, or by fixing the core 11 to the wisdom and making it removable with respect to the core 11 12 can be exchanged.
Further, the core material 11 may be inserted into the winding 12 to fix both ends thereof, or the core material 11 may be fixed to the wisdom. Examples of the fixing method include brazing, welding, adhesion, spirals such as bolts and nuts, and stoppers.
By using a spiral such as a bolt or nut or a stopper, the core member 11 can be exchanged with respect to the winding wire 12.
In this way, by making either or both of the winding wire 12 and the core material 11 interchangeable, for example, the pressing force on the head of the spectacle wearer according to the difference in use such as sports and daily use. It is possible to change the size of the wire, to replace the winding 12 with a different design, coloring, pattern, etc., or to replace the winding 12 with another elastic member such as a stranded wire or a knitted wire.

さらに巻き線12の周囲には、別の巻き線12を一層又は複数層外嵌してもよいし、撚り線や編み線などの別の弾性部材を外嵌するようにしてもよい。また形状適応性部材1と一体になって変形が可能な装飾材や被覆材を設けてもよい。例えば、熱収縮パイプを巻き線12の周囲に嵌め付けて熱収縮させてもよい。   Furthermore, another winding 12 may be fitted around one or more layers around the winding 12, or another elastic member such as a stranded wire or a knitted wire may be fitted. Moreover, you may provide the decoration material and coating | covering material which can be deform | transformed integrally with the shape adaptive member 1. FIG. For example, a heat-shrinkable pipe may be fitted around the winding 12 and heat-shrinked.

ところで、基準となる眼鏡装着者の頭部から、大きさや形状の異なる別の眼鏡装着者の頭部に、この実施形態の形状適応性部材1をテンプル部分に適用した眼鏡フレームを装着した場合に、いずれの眼鏡装着者においても頭部とテンプルとの接触長さを一定に維持するには、芯材11の弾性変形の形態を適宜に選択する必要がある。
芯材11の弾性変形の形態は、実験や経験によって求めることができる。例えば、テンプルと頭部との接触部分に複数の押圧力測定点を設け、頭部の形状や大きさが変化する前後での各押圧力測定点における押圧力の変化から、芯材11の弾性変形の形態、すなわち、芯材11の形状(弾性変形部111,112,113の位置、長さ、断面形状、断面径など)を決定することができる。
図2は、本発明の形状適応性部材1を眼鏡フレームのテンプルに適用した一実施形態を示す図で、テンプルが眼鏡装着者の頭部の大きさや形状の変化に応じて弾性変形したときの様子を示す眼鏡フレームの平面図である。テンプルTにはその接触部分の一端から他端までの間に、均等間隔で複数(図示の例では5つ)の押圧力測定点A〜Eが設けられている。図3(a)は、図2の眼鏡フレームのテンプルTにおける押圧力測定点A〜Eの押圧力の分布を示すグラフ、(b)は、(a)のグラフに基づいて押圧力測定点A〜Eの押圧力の分布を均一にするための芯材の形状の一例を示す概略図である。
By the way, when a spectacle frame in which the shape-adaptive member 1 of this embodiment is applied to the temple portion is worn from the head of the spectacle wearer serving as a reference to the head of another spectacle wearer having a different size or shape. In any spectacle wearer, in order to maintain a constant contact length between the head and the temple, it is necessary to appropriately select the form of elastic deformation of the core member 11.
The form of elastic deformation of the core material 11 can be obtained by experiment and experience. For example, a plurality of pressing force measurement points are provided at the contact portion between the temple and the head, and the elasticity of the core material 11 is determined from changes in the pressing force at each pressing force measurement point before and after the shape and size of the head change. The form of deformation, that is, the shape of the core material 11 (position, length, cross-sectional shape, cross-sectional diameter, etc. of the elastic deformation portions 111, 112, 113) can be determined.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an embodiment in which the shape-adaptive member 1 of the present invention is applied to a temple of a spectacle frame, and when the temple is elastically deformed according to a change in the size and shape of the head of the spectacle wearer. It is a top view of the spectacles frame which shows a mode. The temple T is provided with a plurality (five in the illustrated example) of pressing force measurement points A to E at equal intervals between one end and the other end of the contact portion. 3A is a graph showing the distribution of the pressing force at the pressing force measurement points A to E on the temple T of the eyeglass frame of FIG. 2, and FIG. 3B is a pressing force measuring point A based on the graph of FIG. It is the schematic which shows an example of the shape of the core material for making distribution of pressing force of -E uniform.

芯材11は、基準となる眼鏡装着者の頭部H1(幅L1)に対してテンプルTが接触する接触部分における押圧力測定点A〜Eの各部分での押圧力がほぼ均等の基準値になるように、予めその形状が決定されて塑性変形されている。押圧力測定点A〜Eの各部分での押圧力がほぼ均等であれば、前記接触部分における接触長さZ1の全長に亘ってテンプルTが眼鏡装着者の頭部H1に接触していると言える。
次に、別の眼鏡装着者の頭部H2(幅L2)に眼鏡フレームを装着し、押圧力測定点A〜Eの各部分での押圧力の変化を測定する。基準値に対する押圧力測定点A〜Eの各部分の押圧力の変化量をグラフにしたものが図3(a)のグラフである。すなわち、押圧力測定点A、C、Eではそれぞれ押圧力がP1,P2,P3だけ強くなり、押圧力測定点Bではほぼ基準値、押圧力測定点Dでは押圧力がP4だけ弱くなったものとする。
The core material 11 is a reference value in which the pressing force at each of the pressing force measurement points A to E at the contact portion where the temple T is in contact with the head H1 (width L1) of the reference spectacle wearer is substantially equal. The shape is determined in advance so as to be plastically deformed. If the pressing force at each of the pressing force measurement points A to E is substantially equal, the temple T is in contact with the head H1 of the spectacle wearer over the entire length of the contact length Z1 at the contact portion. I can say that.
Next, the spectacle frame is mounted on the head H2 (width L2) of another spectacle wearer, and the change in the pressing force at each of the pressing force measurement points A to E is measured. FIG. 3A is a graph showing the amount of change in the pressing force at each portion of the pressing force measurement points A to E with respect to the reference value. That is, at the pressing force measurement points A, C, and E, the pressing force is increased by P1, P2, and P3, respectively, at the pressing force measurement point B, the reference value is substantially decreased, and at the pressing force measurement point D, the pressing force is decreased by P4. And

そのため押圧力測定点A、C、Eではその前後で芯材の径を小さくして押圧力が小さくなるようにする。また、押圧力測定点Dでは曲げによってテンプルが頭部H2から浮いている(接触していない)と推定できるため、押圧力測定点Dで芯材の径を小さくすることで弾性変形をしやすくし、押圧力測定点Dでも頭部H2に接触するようにする。これらの検討結果から形成された芯材11の形状を模式的に示したものが図3(b)である。なお、図3(b)のような形状を選択した後に、再度基準となる頭部H1に眼鏡フレームを装着して、押圧力測定点A〜Eの各部分での押圧力がほぼ均等になるように芯材11の形状を調整するとよい。
上記の手順を繰り返すことで、頭部の幅がL1からL2に変化しても、頭部H1,H2間でテンプルTとの接触長さZ1,Z2はほとんど変化しないようにすることができる。
Therefore, at the pressing force measurement points A, C, and E, the diameter of the core material is reduced before and after that so as to reduce the pressing force. Moreover, since it can be estimated that the temple is floating (not in contact) from the head H2 by bending at the pressing force measurement point D, it is easy to elastically deform by reducing the diameter of the core material at the pressing force measurement point D. The pressing force measurement point D is also brought into contact with the head H2. FIG. 3B schematically shows the shape of the core 11 formed from these examination results. After selecting the shape as shown in FIG. 3B, the spectacle frame is attached to the head H1 as the reference again, and the pressing force at each of the pressing force measurement points A to E becomes almost equal. In this way, the shape of the core material 11 may be adjusted.
By repeating the above procedure, even if the head width changes from L1 to L2, the contact lengths Z1 and Z2 with the temple T between the heads H1 and H2 can be hardly changed.

このように本発明では、例えば眼鏡フレームのテンプルTにおいて、頭部の形状や大きさが基準と異なる大きさや形状に変化しても、テンプルTと頭部H1,H2との接触長さを一定に維持することができるので、特許文献1に記載されたような弾性テンプルよりも高いフィット性を得ることが可能になる。また、芯材11として線状の部材を用いることができ、この芯材11を巻き線(弾性部材)12の中空孔12aに挿入するようにしているので、芯材11は眼鏡フレームに外観に現れず、芯材11の形態を自由に選択することでより高いフィット性を得ることが可能になる。
そのため、眼鏡販売店などにおいては、基準となる形状や大きさのテンプルTを備えた眼鏡フレームを複数種類準備しておけばよく、眼鏡販売店などにおける眼鏡装着者に合わせた微調整作業を減じて、眼鏡販売店などの負担を軽減することが可能になる。
Thus, in the present invention, for example, in the temple T of the spectacle frame, the contact length between the temple T and the heads H1 and H2 is constant even if the shape and size of the head changes to a size and shape different from the reference. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a higher fit than an elastic temple as described in Patent Document 1. In addition, a linear member can be used as the core material 11, and the core material 11 is inserted into the hollow hole 12 a of the winding (elastic member) 12. It does not appear, and it becomes possible to obtain a higher fit by freely selecting the form of the core material 11.
For this reason, a spectacle store or the like only needs to prepare a plurality of types of spectacle frames having a temple T having a reference shape or size, and the fine adjustment work for spectacle wearers at the spectacle store or the like is reduced. This makes it possible to reduce the burden on eyeglass stores.

図4は、本発明の形状適応性部材の他の実施形態を示す断面図である。なお、図4では、空間Sの存在をわかりやすくするために、芯材11にハッチングを付している。この実施形態では、形状適応性部材1を眼鏡のモダンMに適用した場合を例に挙げている。この実施形態のモダンMは、途中部位に長さXの直線部分12bを有している。コイルばね状の巻き線12は直線状態に復帰しようとする方向に弾性力を有するから、この実施形態では、当該弾性力を利用して直線部分12bには芯材11を設けない空間Sとしてある。このような空間Sは、モダンMの前側と後側で芯材11を分割するか、複数(図示の例では二つ)の芯材11を空間Sの部分で離間させてモダンMに挿入することで形成することができる。   FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the shape-adaptive member of the present invention. In FIG. 4, the core material 11 is hatched for easy understanding of the existence of the space S. In this embodiment, a case where the shape adaptable member 1 is applied to a modern M of glasses is taken as an example. The modern M of this embodiment has a straight portion 12b having a length X at a midpoint. Since the coil spring-shaped winding 12 has an elastic force in a direction to return to the linear state, in this embodiment, the linear portion 12b is provided with a space S in which the core material 11 is not provided by using the elastic force. . In such a space S, the core material 11 is divided at the front side and the rear side of the modern M, or a plurality (two in the illustrated example) of the core material 11 are separated from each other in the space S and inserted into the modern M. Can be formed.

本発明の好適な実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上記の説明に限定されない。
例えば、上記の説明では弾性部材として金属線をコイル状に巻回した巻き線を例に挙げて説明したが、複数の金属線を撚り合わせた撚り線又は複数の金属線を編んだ編み線を弾性部材として用いてもよい。また、これらの二種以上を組み合わせにより弾性部材を構成してもよい。
また、上記の説明では眼鏡フレームのテンプルに本発明の形状適応性部材を適用するものとして説明したが、ブリッジや智、モダン、リムなど他の箇所にも適用が可能であり、また、眼鏡フレームに限らず、ブレスレットなどのアクセサリにも適用が可能である。さらに、被装着体は人の身体に限らず、犬や猫などの動物の身体、機器やその他の物品など、基準の形状や大きさから多少変化しても、この変化に追随して装着体がフィットすることを求められる被装着体にも適用が可能である。
さらに、図4における他の実施形態では、弾性部材が復帰しょうとする形状(コイルばね状の巻き線12においては直線状)である直線部分12bのみに空間Sを形成しているが、空間Sはこのような直線部分12bに限らず、巻き線12などの弾性部材の弾性力をそのまま利用しようとする部位に適宜に形成してもよい

However, a twisted wire obtained by twisting a plurality of metal wires or a knitted wire obtained by knitting a plurality of metal wires is used. It may be used as an elastic member. Moreover, you may comprise an elastic member by combining these 2 or more types.
In the above description, the shape adaptable member of the present invention is applied to the temple of the spectacle frame. However, the present invention can be applied to other places such as a bridge, wisdom, modern, and rim. Not limited to this, it can also be applied to accessories such as bracelets. Furthermore, the wearable body is not limited to the human body, and even if there is a slight change from the standard shape or size, such as the body of an animal such as a dog or cat, equipment, or other items, the wearable body follows this change. It is also possible to apply to a mounted body that is required to fit.
Furthermore, in another embodiment in FIG. 4, the space S is formed only in the straight line portion 12 b that has a shape that the elastic member is to return (a straight shape in the coil spring-like winding 12). Is not limited to such a straight portion 12b, but may be appropriately formed in a portion where the elastic force of an elastic member such as the winding 12 is to be used as it is.
