Abstract: |
PCT No. PCT/JP97/01186 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 8, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 8, 1999 PCT Filed Apr. 7, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/45748 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 15, 1998Light and compact spectacles which can be easily put on and can be surely held on the face are provided. Furthermore, the spectacles which can be easily put on and taken off are provided. The spectacles according to the present invention have two nose pads (18, 18') and two temple pads (24, 24'). The nose pads (18, 18') extend from a bridge (14) having an elasticity for connecting between two lenses (12, 12'). Temple pads (24, 24') are mounted to temple arms (20, 20') extending from the two lenses (12, 12') to pit regions of both temples of the head and having the elasticity. When the spectacles are put on, the nose pads (18, 18') push on both the sides of the nose. The temple pads (24, 24') are pushed onto the pit regions of the temples at both the sides of the head by a stress from the respective temple arms (20, 20'), and they are fixed at the pit regions. Furthermore, the spectacles have grips (16, 16') protruded from the bridge (14). The grips (16, 16') can be grasped by fingers. The bridge (14) is flexed by firmly grasping grips (16, 16'), and the grips (16, 16') are associated with the bridge (14) so that the distances between the two temple arms (20, 20') and the two temple pads (24, 24') may be spaced with the bridge (14) as a support.
