TEMPLE STRUCTURE WITH EMBEDDED DIAMOND AND EYEGLASS AND DIAMOND-EMBEDDING METHOD THEREOF

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a set of diamond inlaid eyeglasses and a diamond inlaying method, in particular to a diamond inlaid eyeglass temple structure, a set of eyeglasses, and a diamond inlaying method.

Background of the Invention

As people's cultural and living standard is improved and vision care is popularized, eyeglasses take an important role in people's life. A set of eyeglasses mainly consists of a pair of lens and an eyeglass frame, wherein, the eyeglass frame is mainly used to support the lens so that the eyeglasses can be worn in front of the eyes; in addition, the eyeglass frame also has beautifying and decorating effect; therefore, diamond inlaid eyeglass frames have emerged to meet peoples demand for fashion. Existing diamond inlaid eyeglass frames are manufactured by inlaying diamonds in eyeglass frames. An eyeglass frame consists of eyeglass rims and eyeglass temples, wherein, the eyeglass temples are bored at the outer side, and diamonds are inlaid in the bores and bonded to the eyeglass temples with glue. The diamond inlaying work is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has low production efficiency. In addition, the diamonds may fall off easily, since they are bonded with glue.

Detailed Description of the Embodiments

Hereunder the present invention will be detailed, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figure 1 and Figures 2-5, a diamond inlaid eyeglass temple structure, comprising an eyeglass temple body and a diamond 2, wherein, the diamond 2 has a crown part 21, a girdle part 22, and a pavilion part 23, and is a round diamond or square diamond; the eyeglass temple body 1 has a elastic body 3, which has an inwardly-bending elastic tendency, that is to say, the middle part of the elastic body 3 tends to bend towards inner side, wherein, the inner side here refers to the side near the cheek, while the opposite side is outer side. The two ends of the elastic body 3 are connected at the outer side with a first gripping part 4 and a second gripping part 5 in a cantilevered manner respectively, the first gripping part 4 and second gripping part 5 have a first slot 41 and second slot 51 on their opposite end surfaces respectively, the first slot 41 and second slot 51 grip the girdle part 22 of the diamond 2 in symmetry, with the crown part of the diamond 2 exposed at the outer side of the first gripping part 4 and second gripping part 5, so that the diamond 2 is gripped firmly under the elastic force of the elastic body 3. In the diamond inlaid eyeglass temple structure, the diamond 2 can be inlaid in a time-saving and labor-saving manner at high production efficiency, and can be fixed firmly and will not fall off easily.

As shown in Figure 3, the diamond 2 has a culet 24, which props the elastic body 3. The elastic force of the elastic body 3 acts on the diamond 2, creating high friction force between the crown part 21 of the diamond 2 and the sides of the first slot 41 and second slot 51; thus, the diamond 2 will not play and therefore will not fall off easily.

As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the eyeglass temple body 1, elastic body 3, first gripping part 4, and second gripping part 5 are formed in an integral structure, and the contour between the elastic body 3 and the first gripping part 4 and between the elastic body 3 and the second gripping part 5 is in a broken elliptical form, equally spaced waveform, or rectangular waveform. The inner side of the elastic body 3 smoothly transits to the eyeglass temple body 1; thus, the strength at the elastic body 3 is ensured, and the eyeglasses can be worn comfortably and have esthetic appearance. The contour between the elastic body 3 and the first gripping part 4 and the elastic body 3 and the second gripping part 5 is not limited to the above-mentioned forms, which is to say, the contour can be in any form, as long as enough strength of the first gripping part 4 and second gripping part 5 can be ensured so that the first gripping part 4 and second gripping part 5 can grip the diamond 2 firmly under the elastic force of the elastic body 3.

As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the two sides of the first slot 41 and second slot 51 fit the crown part 21 and pavilion part 23 of the diamond 2 respectively. Thus, additional contact points between the first gripping part 4 and second gripping part 5 and the diamond 2 are obtained, so that the diamond 2 is kept stably and will not get loose.

A set of eyeglasses comprising the above-mentioned diamond inlaid eyeglass temple structures, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, further comprises an eyeglass rim 6 and hinges 7, wherein, the eyeglass rim 6 is mounted with lens 10 and has temple bendings 8 and a nose bridge 9, and the eyeglass temple bodies 1 and temple bendings 8 are fixed to the two ends of the hinges 7 respectively. In the eyeglasses with diamond inlaid eyeglass temples, the diamonds 2 can be inlaid in a time-saving and labor-saving manner at high production efficiency, and can be fixed firmly and will not fall off easily.

A diamond inlaying method for the above-mentioned diamond inlaid eyeglass temple structure, comprising the following steps: (1) selecting an integral piece of material (in this embodiment, a 1.2mm stainless steel plate is used, and round diamonds with 5.Omm girdle diameter or square diamonds in 5.0mmx5.0mm dimensions are used), producing an eyeglass temple body 1 by wire cutting, and separating the eyeglass temple body 1 into elastic body 3, first gripping part 4, second gripping part 5, and first slot 41 and second slot 51; (2) bending the elastic body 3 outwards to widen the spacing between the first gripping part 4 and the second gripping part 5, placing a diamond 2 into the space between the first gripping part 4 and the second gripping part 5, aligning the girdle part 22 of the diamond 2 to the first slot 41 and second slot 51, and positioning the diamond at the center of the first slot 41 or second slot 51; (3) loosening the elastic body 3 while keeping the relative position of the diamond 2 unchanged, so that the first gripping part 41 and second gripping part 51 grip the diamond 2 firmly under the elastic force of the elastic body 3. With the diamond inlaying method, the diamond inlaying process has simple steps and is easy to operate, and can achieve high production efficiency.
