FIELD

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to spectacles.

BACKGROUND ART

Conventional spectacles have a pair of legs extended backwards along upper edges of ears of the wearer respectively. A front part of each leg is pivotally coupled to a lens or frame of the spectacles, and each leg has a leg body bent downwards along the ear root so as to provide a holding force for the spectacles.

In order to achieve a better wearing of the spectacles, a nose pad supported on the nose of the wearer may be disposed between the lenses. Generally, two nose pads are disposed to support the spectacles on the nose. The spectacles are hardly supported stably without the nose pads. However, the nose pads press against the nose of the wearer, thus causing the nose of the wearer uncomfortable. Moreover, the nose pads may cause a permanent injury to the nose such as dermatitis or muscle tissue injury.

The spectacles according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference of Figs. 1 to 7.

The spectacles according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprise a pair of lenses 100 and a pair of legs 200.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a connecting member 110 is coupled to inner sides of the two lenses 100 and the two legs 200 are coupled to outer sides of the two lenses 100, respectively. Those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the lenses 100 may be mounted into a frame (not shown), and the legs 200 are coupled to the fame. Therefore, in the present disclosure, " outer sides of the two lenses 100 are coupled to legs 200" should be broadly understood, including that the legs 200 are coupled to the frame and that the legs 200 are coupled to the lenses 100 directly. By way of example and without limitation, the spectacles without the frame will be described hereinafter.

Each of the legs 200 comprises a leg body 210 and a clamping member 220 coupled to a rear end of the leg body 210. The clamping member 220 is adapted to engage hair of the wearer, especially the clamping member 220 is engaged hair roots of the hair of the wearer, so as to provide enough support force for the spectacles. Therefore, a nose pad may be omitted.

In addition, the clamping member 220 is elastic and matches a head of the wearer. For example, the clamping member 220 has a substantially circular arc shape to match the shape of the head of the wearer. Moreover, the clamping members 220 may clamp the head of the wearer with a slightly tight clamping force because the clamping member 220 is elastic. The clamping member 220 having above mentioned structure can appropriately attached to the head of the wearer, therefore, it is advantageous for the clamping member 220 to engage the hair of the wearer, if the clamping member 220 could not sufficiently engage hair of the wearer because the wearer has not much hair, the clamping member 220 may also provide enough support or holding force for the spectacles via the slightly tight clamping force.

With the spectacles according to embodiments of the present disclosure, enough support force may be provided via the clamping member 220 without the nose pad, thus avoiding pressing of nose pad against the nose of the wearer, improving the wearing comfortability, and the manufacturing process of the spectacles is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

With the spectacles according to embodiments of the present disclosure, if the clamping member 220 could not provide enough support force for the spectacles, the spectacles according to embodiments of the present disclosure may be provided with the nose pad. Even if the nose pad is provided, because of the presence of the clamping member 220, the nose pad may not contact the nose of the wearer or slightly press against the nose of the wearer. Compared with the conventional spectacles in which the supporting force is full provided by the nose pad thereof, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the nose pad may apply no pressure or less pressure to the nose of the wearer, thus improving conformability.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figs.2-4, each clamping member 220 comprises a first clamping piece 221 and a second clamping piece 222. The first clamping piece 221 is bent and extended from the rear end of the leg body 210, and the second clamping piece 222 is coupled to the first clamping piece 221. The first clamping piece 221 and the second clamping piece 222 may form a substantial L shape. Alternatively, the first clamping piece 221, the second clamping piece 222 and the rear of the leg body 210 may form a substantial S shape or a substantial N shape which is horizontally oriented.

As shown in Fig. 4, preferably, the first clamping piece 221 is extended forwards and downwards from the rear end of the leg body 210, alternatively the first clamping piece 221 may be extended forwards and upwards from the rear end of the leg body 210. The second clamping piece 222 is coupled to a middle part of the first clamping piece 221 and substantially parallel to the leg body 210, so that the substantially N- shaped structure formed by the first clamping piece 221, the second clamping piece 222 and the rear of the leg body 210 may be located below the leg body 210.

Moreover, the first clamping piece 221 may be extended forwards and upwards from the rear end of the leg body 210 so as to form the clamping member 220 located above the leg body 210.

The first and second clamping pieces 221,222 may be integrally formed, more particularly, the first and second clamping pieces 221,222 may be integrally formed with the leg body 210, so as to enhance a rigidity of the clamping member 220 and improve the supporting for the spectacles.

Therefore, the clamping member 220 according to embodiments of the present disclosure may increase the contact area thereof with the head of the wearer and the clamping force by means of the bending and extending of the first and second clamping pieces 221,222.

As shown in Fig.4, the second clamping piece 222 substantially parallel to the leg body 210 has teeth 223 for engaging the hair roots of the hair of the wearer. Because the second clamping piece 222 is substantially parallel to the leg body 210, the teeth 223 can fully engage the hair roots of the wearer, thus ensuring that the clamping member 220 can provide enough support force for the spectacles.

The first clamping piece 221 may also have teeth 223 for further increasing the support force for the spectacles.

A distance between adjacent teeth 223 may be adjusted according to actual requirements, preferably, the distance between adjacent teeth 223 is about 1mm.

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Fig.5-7, the clamping member

220 is configured as a hair clip. The spectacles may be worn on the head of the wearer by the hair clip clamping the hair of the wearer, so that the spectacles with the hair clip is convenient and reliable to use and has a simple structure.

In a preferable embodiment, as shown in Fig. 6 and 7, the hair clip comprises a first clipping piece 224, a second clipping piece 225 and a pressing tongue 226. The first clipping piece 224 is coupled to the leg body 210, the second clipping piece 225 is bent and extended forwards from a rear end of the first clipping piece 224, so that the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 are spaced apart by a gap 227 therebetween from each other. The first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 may form a substantial U shape by bending and extending thereof, and may be elastically deformable by an external force.

An front end of the pressing tongue 226 is fixed between the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225, and a rear end thereof is inclinedly extended towards the head of the wearer, that is, the rear end of the pressing tongue 226 is extended out of the gap 227 towards the head of the wearer, so that the pressing tongue 226 may be inserted into the hair roots of the wearer along a scalp of the wearer.

Before wearing the spectacles of the present disclosure, the clamping member 220 is in a state as shown in Fig. 6, the rear end of the pressing tongue 226 is extended out of the gap 227 towards the head of the wearer. When the spectacles of the present disclosure is worn on the head of the wearer, the pressing tongue 226 is inserted into the hair roots of the wearer, then the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 are pressed towards the head of the wearer by a single hand of the wearer , so that the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 are deformed as shown in Fig.7, and the pressing tongue 226 is located in the gap 227, therefore, the pressing tongue 226, the first clipping piece 224 and the second clipping piece 225 clamp the hair roots of the wearer.

When the wearer wants to take off the spectacles, the wearer merely presses the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 in a direction away from the head of the wearer, so that the hair clip is restored to the state as shown in Fig. 6, thus releasing the clamping of the hair clip against the hair roots.

The hair clip can provide enough support force for the spectacles according to embodiments of the present disclosure, therefore, the nose pad may be omitted.

The spectacles according to embodiments of the present disclosure may further comprises a ferrule 228 fitted over the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 to ensure that the gap 227 formed between the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 can not be enlarged. The front end of the pressing tongue 226 may be fixed to the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 by the ferrule 228.

The first clipping piece 224 is extended rearwards from the rear end of the leg body 210, namely, the first clipping piece 224 and the leg body 210 are integrally formed. Alternatively, the first and second clipping pieces 224, 225 are formed integrally with the leg body 210.

Those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the clamping member 220 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments as long as it can engage the hair of the wearer so as to hold the spectacles on the head of the wearer. Moreover, the hair clip is also not limited to the above-mentioned structure.
