Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for fixing additional lenses to glasses.
- Nylon threads are fixed or hung on the supports for mounting the glasses on the supports. Hooks are also mounted by screws on the supports for fixing the device on glasses.
- This device adapts better to the shape of the frame of the glasses, thanks to the flexibility of the bridge and the supports, but its manufacture and its assembly are relatively complex, long and expensive, due to the screw fixings of the hooks and the supports .
- the invention particularly aims to simplify the manufacture and assembly of such a device and therefore lower the cost.
- a device for fixing additional lenses to glasses comprising a flexible bridge connected to flexible branches comprising means for fixing a flexible wire for mounting additional glasses on said branches, and means for elastic attachment of the device to glasses, characterized in that the bridge and the flexible arms are made in one piece.
- This characteristic of the invention greatly simplifies the structure of the device for fixing additional lenses to the glasses, also simplifies its manufacture and assembly, increases its reliability and greatly reduces its cost price.
- the flexibility of the bridge and the temples allows a good adaptation to the shape of the glasses and the shape of the frame of the glasses.
- the bridge and the flexible branches are made in one piece by molding, in particular of plastic or metal.
- the hooking means are formed in one piece with said branches.
- a single molding operation makes it possible to produce a device comprising a bridge, arms for supporting the glasses and hooking means, such as flexible hooks, for fixing the device to glasses.
- hooking means such as flexible hooks
- at least some of the attachment means are mounted on the flexible wires for fixing the glasses to said flexible branches.
- these hooking means are adjustable in position, by sliding on the flexible wires.
- the device according to the invention allows the device according to the invention to be adapted to any form of spectacle frame.
- the device according to the invention is extremely simple since it can be produced in one piece, it is light, not very visible and takes up little space and it is adaptable to all types of frames and spectacle lenses.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 are front and top views respectively of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 3 is a front view, on a larger scale, of a part of this device
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view along line IV-IV of Figure 3;
- Figure 5 is a bottom view of the device of Figure 3;
- - Figure 6 is a schematic front view of an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention;
- FIG. 7 is a partial view on a larger scale of an attachment means of the device of Figure 6; and - Figure 8 is a top view of the attachment means of Figure 7.
- FIGS. 1 to 5 represent a first embodiment of the invention.
- the device carrying the additional glasses comprises a molded assembly in one piece, consisting of a bridge or trigger guard 10, two lateral branches 12 and means 14 for hooking on glasses, the bridge 10 being connected at its ends to median or intermediate parts of the side pieces 12 and the hooking means being curved tabs oriented towards the outside.
- the lateral branches 12 form additional lens support means such as in particular filtering glasses for protection against solar radiation, and they are initially rectilinear or curved in an arc.
- these branches include a series of projections 16 intended to fit into the peripheral groove of a glass.
- the branches 12 comprise one or two holes 18 for the passage of a nylon thread or the like intended to be engaged in the peripheral groove 20 of a lens 22 for fixing this lens to the part 12.
- the assembly formed by the bridge 10, the lateral branches 12 and the hooks 14 is molded for example by injection in a plastic material such as nylon or the like, or possibly in metal.
- the glasses 22 intended to be mounted on the face are cut to the same shape and the same dimensions as the lenses of the glasses on which the face is to be mounted.
- one end of a nylon thread is passed through one of the holes 18 in a lateral branch 12, the end of this thread is heated to form a ball retaining the thread and preventing it from coming out by the hole 18, the glass is placed on the lateral branch 12 by engaging the projections 16 in the peripheral groove of the glass and bending the branch 12 to adapt it to the contour of the glass, the necessary length of nylon thread is determined, engage the other end of this wire in a hole 18 in the other end of the branch 12, the glass being removed from the branch 12, and the other end of the nylon wire is heated to form a retaining ball of this wire in the corresponding hole 18. Then, the glass is mounted inside the support formed by the branch 12 and the nylon thread, the ends of which are fixed in the holes 18 of the ends of the branch 12, the elasticity of the nylon thread and of the branch 12 allowing a tight mounting of the glass in its support.
- the branches 12 are applied to the lateral edges of the glasses 22 on the side of the bridge 10.
- the shape and size of the glasses 22 being identical to that of the glasses of the glasses, the face mounted on the glasses is very little apparent and does not interfere with the vision of the wearer of the glasses.
- the ends of the bridge 10 can be connected to the lateral branches 12, either perpendicular to these branches as shown in FIG. 3, or substantially tangentially.
- the device in FIGS. 1 to 5 is adaptable to a large number of different spectacle frames, thanks to the flexibility of the bridge 10 and the lateral branches 12.
- the bridge 10 is of substantially rectilinear shape and extends at the level of the upper edge of the glasses 22 or slightly above this upper edge, and is connected to lateral branches 12 which surround the glasses 22 on substantially half of their periphery, on the outside or opposite side of the bridge 10 as shown in the left part of FIG. 6, or which surround these glasses along their upper edge only, as shown in the right part of the figure 6.
- the lateral branches 12 comprise, by molding, hooks 14 for fixing the device on a spectacle frame, for example two hooks 14 at the ends of a lateral branch 12 and a third hook substantially in the middle of this branch .
- the ends of each lateral branch 12 are joined by a nylon thread which surrounds the remainder of the periphery of the glass 22 and is housed in a peripheral groove of the glass.
- these branches each carry two hooks 14, at their ends, and a third hook 14 is mounted on the wire. nylon which encloses the glass 22 between the ends of the lateral branch 12.
- the hook 14 includes a U-shaped portion 24 which is mounted astride the edge of the glass 22 and which has two orifices 26 for passage of the nylon thread 28 mounted in the peripheral groove of the glass 22.
- the hook 14 is sliding on the nylon thread 28 and can be moved, relative to the other two hooks 14 secured to the lateral branch 12, to be brought into an optimal position for fixing the device on the frame of the glasses.
- the hook itself is formed by a curved finger 30 extending from the part at ⁇ 24, substantially perpendicular to the glass 22 or slightly oblique with respect thereto.
- the 14 may comprise a single hole parallel to the periphery of the glass 22 for the passage of the wire 28.
- the alternative embodiment of Figures 6 to 8 has the same characteristics as the embodiment of Figures 1 to 5, that is to say that the bridge 10 is made in one piece with the lateral branches 12 and the hooks 14 provided on these lateral branches, by molding of plastic or metal, and the lateral branches 12 have on their internal face projections 16 intended to be engaged in the peripheral grooves of the glasses 22.
- the device according to the invention can be used for mounting sun protection filter glasses on glasses with corrective lenses, but it can also be used for mounting additional corrective glasses on glasses, for example to improve near vision or the night vision.
