Abstract
An elastic glasses temple includes a connector, a temple body having a round hook in a front end to pivotally connected to the connector, a sleeve fitting around a front portion of the temple body with a coil spring fitted in a second hole formed in a rear portion of the sleeve, a coil spring and a position member combined together. The position member is fixed on the temple body, fitting in a rear end of the sleeve. When the temple body is forced to swing outward by exterior force, with a screw fitting in said round hook as a pivot, the sleeve is pushed to move rearward to compress the coil spring to absorb exterior force to permit the temple body swing outward. The temple body swings back after exterior force disappears with resilience of the the coil spring. Then this temple can suit to any sizes of users' faces.
Claims1
An elastic glasses temple comprising:
- a connector having an aperture formed in a rear end, a stop face formed beside said aperture, a threaded hole formed to pass through vertically said aperture;
- a temple body having a round hook formed in an inner end and fitting in said aperture of said connector;
- a sleeve for a front portion of said temple body to fit therein, having a stopper formed to extend from a front end, an L-shaped groove formed in the front end and in said stopper, a first hole formed in a front portion and a second hole of a bigger diameter than that of said first hole formed in a rear portion;
- a coil spring contained in said second hole of said sleeve and fitting around a part of said front portion of said temple body;
- a position member having a small diameter front portion, and a center through hole, fitted through by said temple body and fixed stably on an intermediate portion of said temple with a projection formed on an outer surface of a front portion of said temple body;
- said temple body forced to swing outward with said screw fitting in said threaded hole of said connector and functioning as a pivot, with said stopper of said sleeve pushed by said stop surface of said connector so that said sleeve may be moved rearward to compress said coil spring in said second hole, said coil spring absorbing exterior force to permit said temple body to swing outward, said spring having recovering resilience to let said temple body swing back to its original position after the exterior force disappears, thus said temple body can be applied to many different users faces, and said temple body further can be easily collapsed inward for approximately 90 degrees.
