 [Technical Solution]

The present invention is a frame to support a spectacle lens (or ordinary glass for protecting the eye) prescribed in the vicinity of the user's eyes, and additionally, lighting, magnifying glasses, microscopes, etc. when a medical procedure for a doctor or dentist The present invention relates to a frame that can be further attached and additionally attached to a person who performs sports activities including caving or swimming. The frame attached to the lens or instrument is designed to accommodate a wide range of foreheads, eyebrows, noses and other individuals with different sizes, shapes and positions of the cheekbones, in particular for different facial shapes between groups of different races. The present invention allows the user to wear very comfortably for a long time even after attaching a heavy attachment such as illumination and microscope is as follows. (a) the shape and contact surface of the frame supporting the lens and the mechanisms are custom designed to the face shape of each individual wearing it, and (b) the frame has a large contact area on various face shapes, This reduces the uncomfortable pressure and evenly distributes the weight of the attached device and the frame over a large area of the user's face. This allows the user to use the frame comfortably for a long time. Another feature of the invention is the process by which the user adjusts the frame for each unique facial structure. The above process can be accomplished through at least three processes. The first is to produce a gypsum model of the user's entire face by the conventional gypsum model technique, the gypsum model fits the frame of the present invention to the user's face shape, and has an enlarged contact area with the user's face shape It can be molded to remove the pressure point, and can serve as a basis for manufacturing. The process allows chemically cured plastics, such as methyl methacrylate, available from York, Pennsylvania, 17405-0872 Dentsprey International Mailbox 872, well known in the art to be pressed and cured on the model. Secondly, the user's face may be scanned by a laser or other device connected to a computer that stores the user's face size and shape, and the data may be customized to produce a custom device for the user through a known CAD / CAM process. It can be used as a basis. Typical devices for this scanning and CAD / CAM design and fabrication are available from Norskerliner, Charlotte and Syrona. Thirdly, using a kit provided by a certain manufacturer, the user can make or select a custom support that is specially molded for the user's face. The kit includes a flexible plastic or similar material having a generally shaped frame shape that can be customized to the user's own face in a form that provides a large contact area to the user's face shape. Once molding is done, the plastic is cured through exposure processing, a process known in the art. The plastic cured by the exposure is a photocurable acrylic resin, which is available from York, Pennsylvania, 17405-0872 Dentsprey International Mailbox 872. Alternatively, the user can take a set of templates of many different frames of different sizes and choose the one that best fits his or her face shape. The manufacturer is informed which frame best fits and sends to the user a support very similar to the best fit template made of flexible photocurable plastic. After receiving the support, the user presses it with his finger to adjust it to his exact face shape, and then exposes and hardens the plastic. In each case, the frame received by the user includes a headband with a pin. The frame is secured to the user's head through a side arm portion that passes over the ear, like a pair of normal glasses, a headband with a wide contact surface for the user's face shape, and a flexible headband system that contacts the user's back.

The invention also includes a method of shaping the frame to have a wide contact surface with respect to the individual face shape of the user. Means for supporting the frame to the user's head include side arm means such as glasses, various headband means attached to the frame and in contact with various areas of the user's head and elastic upper headband means.

 Best Mode for Implementation of the Invention

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the frame 1 for prescription spectacle lenses 6, magnifiers, microscopes and lights 7, etc. is a general shape of a laser scan method or spectacle frame combined with CAD / CAM design and fabrication. It is formed by the user on the basis of a kit of flexible plastic and then cured and formed through the exposure process. A typical prescription spectacle lens is rounded down at a size of approximately 2 x 2.5 cm and placed in a plastic lens support frame 23, which is made primarily of acrylic resin or similar material to the main frame. The lens support frame 23 including the prescription spectacle lens 6 is bonded to the plastic of the frame 1 with an acrylic adhesive, and most examples of the frame of the present invention include a prescription lens of a user. The prescription lens should generally be inclined appropriately to the user's gaze in the downward direction according to the typical position of the user or the user's work. For example, since the dentist sits near the patient and the surgeon generally stands above the patient, the strength of the prescription lens and the tilt angle down in the frame should be adjusted according to methods known in the art. The upper area 2 of the frame near the user's forehead or eyebrow can be used to support a magnifying glass, microscope, lighting, etc. through a variety of known methods, which side pass the instrument over the upper frame 2 or the ear. Attachment to the arm 4 via adhesive, clamps, screws, pins or other known simple mechanical means. The preferred embodiment of the present invention has a wide surface contact surface between the frame 1 and a plurality of areas of the user's face, including forehead, eyebrows, nose, and cheekbones, thereby providing a mechanism mounted over a large area of the skin surface. It distributes the pressure on the skin due to the load, lowers the pressure point, increases comfort, and allows the user to wear the frame for a long time. In order to provide a substantial contact area with the user's skin and face shape, the plane of Frame 1 in contact with the user's face shape is typically approximately 1-7 cm wide, approximately 3 mm thick, and made of plastic or metal. Is made. In a preferred embodiment, the side arms 4 of the frame are over the user's ear, as with conventional glasses, but with a wide contact surface to exert pressure against the bone behind the ear. The upper part of the frame 2 is placed on the eyebrows and the forehead, and the middle part of the frame is placed on the back of the nose through a large contact area. The side of the frame lies about 1 cm from the lateral edge of the eye. The lower frame 3 is placed on the cheekbones. In the case of mounting heavier magnifiers, lights or cameras, the headband 9 is extended to wind down the lower back of the head to prevent the frame from moving on the face by these heavy objects. Preferred embodiments may include various possible forms of flexible headbands 9 which pass over the back or sides of the user's head and are attached to the frame 1 to adjust to differences in hair shape and size. In a preferred embodiment of the headband, one or more bands are attached to the frame 1 via adjustable attachment means. Examples of the attachment means include velcro (hooks and loops), snap buttons and headband support pins 8 in the frame 1, the headband support pins 8 being a plurality of headbands 9. It can penetrate one of the headband adjusting holes (13). As a specific embodiment, the two intersecting headbands 9 shown in FIG. 3 go directly over the user's ear and provide stability to band alignment by touching the head above the user's ear. Another kind of headband is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The upper headband 14 may be made of injection molded nylon or similar material. 6 shows the upper headband before stretching. The user stretches the headband slightly by hand and wears it on the head like a hat. The upper headband engaging surface 17 is located at a portion (not shown) that has entered the center of the upper frame portion 2. The upper headband 14 is elastic and secures it to the head by a force acting on the center of the upper frame 2 and a force acting on the back of the user's head at the upper headband contact surface 15. The elasticity of the headband fixes it by compression at the center of the frame top 2. The upper headband contact surface 15 rests on the back of the user's head. The upper headband coupling surface 17 presses the frame 1 and is fixed to the user's face. Alternatively, the upper headband engagement surface 17 may be adhesively bonded to frame 1 or securely fixed to the center of the upper frame portion 2 via various other simple mechanical coupling means known in the art. In addition, the upper headband 14 may be further coupled to the coupling pin 16, thereby attaching a cable or a surgeon's cap or other aid from the lighting coupled to the frame (1). An advantage of the upper headband 14 is that it does not press or matte the user's hair. The upper headband 14 is usually 2-5 mm thick, in the form of a bow-like flat string with a width of 1-2 cm. If the upper headband made of nylon does not have sufficient elasticity, a headband made of stainless steel may be used, or a small stainless steel headband of the same shape and size as the nylon upper headband may be used. By attaching it to the coupling pin 16 on the outer surface, more rigidity can be obtained. Elastic side headbands similar to the elastic upper headband may also be used. The elastic side headband is connected to the top of the frame and is designed to extend past the side of the user's head and terminates at the bottom back of the user's head, so that the elastic side headband means is connected to the user's end at one end of the headband. It is shaped, sized and elastic to maintain stable contact with the back of the head. Accordingly, by the elasticity of the headband, to support the frame around the user's eyes at the other end of the headband.

The prescription lens is fixed to the frame 1 in the following manner. 8 shows a trifocal lens cut out of a lens piece of approximately 2 x 2.5 cm in size. Normally, the lower left and right edges that make up the near field of view 19 are rounded. Near the top of the lens, a lens support notch 22 is clipped to two upper opposing sides of the lens. Fig. 9 shows a lens support frame 23, which is usually made of a flexible plastic to some extent so that the U-shape can be stretched to some extent. The thickness of the frame 23 is approximately 3 mm. The two opposite edges of the lens 6 slide into the lens support frame 23 and are fixed to the lens frame groove 25 which is entirely dug to the inner U-shaped surface of the lens support frame 23. When the lens slides into the groove 25, the frame 23 is opened to some extent because the lens support point 24 pushes the side of the lens 6. When the bottom of the lens reaches the bottom of the lens support frame 23, the lens support point 24 clicks into the lens support notch 22, and the lens is recessed by the lens support point 24. 25) is firmly fixed. When the lens 6 is opened by opening the U-shaped upper portion of the frame, the lens support point 24 is released from the lens support notch 22, and thus the lens 6 may be removed from the lens support frame 23.

In a further embodiment of the invention a mask mount 12 may be attached to the lower frame 3 under the eye. Thus, the mask mounting portion descends below the user's nose and mouth, thereby protecting the user from fluid or bacteria caused by the patient. Various known surgical or sanitary masks can be coupled to the mask mount through known methods. The mask mounting portion and mask prevent the prescription lens and other optics from misting by the user's breath. The mask mounting portion may be designed so that the mask is fixed so that the mask does not touch the user's mouth, making it more comfortable, easier to talk and breathe.
