Abstract
An endpiece (E) is composed by disposing a pair of elastic inner and outer wiring or plating parts in juxtaposition. An outer part external member (1) is adopted to keep a shape and structure of the endpiece (E) intact and reinforced. The inner part is a buffer piece (2) doubled back into a hairpin shape and has at least a first bending portion (21) of convex shape and a second bending portion (22) of concave shape. When a temple (T) is unfolded to excess, the first and second bending portions (21) and (22) flexibly bend towards a direction to which those portions expand so as to counterbalance stress to which the external member (1) is subjected.
Claims2
Shock-absorbing mechanism for spectacles wherein an endpiece (E) that is provided extensibley from respective sides of a spectacles front and to a free end of which a temple (T) is connectable is composed by disposing a pair of inner and outer parts made from one of elastic wiring and plating materials in juxtaposition, for said outer part an external member (1) bent archly being adopted to keep a shape and structure of said endpiece (E) intact and reinforced whereas for said inner part a buffer piece (2) doubled back into a hairpin shape and comprising at least a first bending portion (21) of convex shape and a second bending portion (22) of concave shape being adopted, and upon said temple (T) being unfolded in excess, said first bending portion (21) and said second bending portion (22) flexibly bend towards a direction to which said portions (21) and (22) expand so as to counterbalance stress to which said external member (1) is subjected while upon said temple (T) being folded to excess said first bending portion (21) and said second bending portion (22) flexibly bend towards a direction to which said portions (21) and (22) contract so as to counterbalance stress to which said external member (1) is subjected, thereby, difference in stress applied and that in expansion and contraction effected between said external member (1) and said buffer piece (2) being counterbalanced so as to absorb an external force to which said spectacles are subjected.
