Description:
COLOR CHANGEABLE AND LUMINOUS EYEGLASS FRAMES

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an eyeglass frame.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Presently, there are commonly three types of eyeglass frames in the market, that is, eyeglass frames made from metal, eyeglass frames made from both metal and plastic, and eyeglass frames made from plastic. The existing eyeglass frames are mostly making improvements in modeling and color of the main bodies in order to attract consumers. However, they have the limitations of monotone color and less fashionable. What's more, lots of those who wear eyeglasses may have the problems of myopia or hyperopia, and it is hard for those who are highly myopia or deep presbyopia to find the position of eyeglasses at night where there is no light, which brings people lots of inconveniences.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention is aimed to provide an eyeglass frame that is able to change color and possesses a luminous effect, so as to overcome the problems with respect to monotone and difficulty to find in the night.

[0004] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0005] A color changeable and luminous eyeglass frame, comprising a main body of the eyeglass frame which is coated with a layer of luminous powder or luminous paint; in addition, the main body of eyeglass frame is coated with a color changeable layer comprising fluorescent powder, phosphor and phosphorus oxide, or the main body of eyeglass frame is a main body made from a material into which are added fluorescent powder, phosphor and phosphorus oxide.

[0006] Preferably, said layer of luminous powder or luminous paint is coated throughout the main body of the eyeglass frame.

[0007] Preferably, the main body of eyeglass frame comprises two rims, a nose bridge that connects the two rims, two temples and lugs that connect the temples and the rims; and the layer of luminous powder or luminous paint is partially coated on the rims, lugs and both sides of the temples.

[0008] Preferably, the main body of eyeglass frame is made from metal.

[0009] Preferably, the main body of eyeglass frame is made from both metal and plastic.

[0010] Preferably, the main body of eyeglass frame is made from plastic.

[0011] Advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0012] On one hand, the layer of luminous powder or luminous paint coated on the main body of eyeglass frame can absorb light during daytime and then be luminous at night, so that the wearers can find their eyeglasses easily.

[0013] On the other hand, the main body of eyeglass frame is coated with a color changeable layer comprising fluorescent powder, phosphor and phosphorus oxide, or the main body of eyeglass frame is a main body made from a material into which are added fluorescent powder, phosphor and phosphorus oxide. Therefore, the main body of eyeglass frame is capable of changing colors after exposing in ultraviolet light, so that people would appear more vivid and lively by wearing the eyeglasses.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0014] FIG. 1 is a general schematic view of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] A color changeable and luminous eyeglass frame, as illustrates in FIG. 1, comprising a main body 10, which comprises two rims 12, a nose bridge 14 connecting the two rims, two temples 13, and lugs 11 connecting temples 13 and rims 12. A layer 20 of luminous powder or luminous paint is coated on the main body 10. The layer 20 may be coated throughout or partially on the main body 10. For example, the layer 20 is coated on the rims 12, on the temples 13 and lugs 11. In addition, the layer 20 may be coated on the nose bridge 14 as well and the like.

[0016] The main body 10 is coated with a color changeable layer comprising fluorescent powder, phosphor and phosphorus oxide. Alternatively, the main body 10 is a main body made from a material into which are added fluorescent powder, phosphor and phosphorus oxide. [0017] While the invention has been described in connection with what are presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the invention.
