It is a figure which shows the state which attached the wearing tool 20 by one Embodiment of this invention to the spectacles 22, and attached the wearable computer 26. It is a figure which shows the fitting 20. 3A and 3B are views showing the details of the fixing member 8, and FIGS. 3C and 3D are views showing the details of the tip end portion of the holding member 6. It is a figure which shows the state which attached the fixing member 8 to the holding member 6. It is a figure which shows the detail of the step part 11. FIG. 6A shows the guide member 100 of the wearable computer 26, and FIG. 6B is a diagram showing the mounting guide 12 of the holding member 6. It is a figure which shows the wearable computer 26. It is a figure which shows the different fixing member 8.

FIG. 1 shows a fitting 20 for a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The figure shows a state in which a wearable computer 30 which is a wearable device is fixed to the fitting 20 attached to the temple 24 of the eyeglasses 22. The display 32 of the wearable computer 30 is fixed so as to come in front of the wearer.

FIG. 2 shows the details of the fitting 20. The main body 2 includes a metal U-shaped band 4 and a synthetic resin holding member 6 attached to the tip of the U-shaped band 4. A coupling portion 14 is provided at the rear end of the holding member 6, and the tip of the U-shaped band 4 is slidably inserted. The U-shaped band 4 is slid so that the U-shaped band 4 comes into contact with the back side of the wearer's neck so that a firm wearing state can be realized.

A fixing member 8 is attached to the tip of the holding member 6. Details of the fixing member 8 are shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. FIG. 3A is a view seen from the tip side, and FIG. 3B is a side view.

The fixing member 8 includes a base 80 and a holding piece 86. As shown in FIG. 3A, the base 80 is formed in an H shape when viewed from the tip side, and recesses 82 and 84 are provided at the top and bottom. Further, the holding piece 86 extended below the base 80 is formed so as to be curved outward.

Details of the tip portion of the holding member 6 for attaching the fixing member 8 are shown in FIGS. 3C and 3D. FIG. 3C is a view seen from the tip side, and FIG. 3D is a side view.

A linear holding piece 66 extending downward is provided at the tip of the holding member 6. Further, a recess 60 is provided on the holding piece 66. The recess 60 is formed in a width that allows the H-shaped base 80 of the fixing member 8 to be inserted.

The tip of the holding member 6 with the fixing member 8 attached is shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. 4A is a view seen from the tip side, and FIG. 4B is a side view.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the holding space 70 is formed by the holding piece 86 of the fixing member 8 and the holding piece 66 of the holding member 6. As shown in FIG. 1, the temple 24 is inserted into the holding space 70 to fix the wearer 20 to the spectacles.

In this embodiment, a fixing member 8 is provided at the tip of the mounting tool 20, and the temple 24 is sandwiched by the fixing member 8 to hold the mounting tool 20 on the temple 24. Therefore, the fitting 20 can be held stably and surely.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4C and 4D, the fixing member 8 can be attached by inverting the left and right sides. As a result, the holding space 70 can be changed from the outside to the inside of the holding piece 66. Therefore, it is possible to change the degree of wearing on the glasses 22.

Returning to FIG. 2, the holding member 6 has a stepped portion 11 that abuts on the upper surface of the temple 24. In the cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the step portion 11, the step portion 11 of the holding member 6 is in contact with the upper surface 25 of the temple 24 of the spectacles shown in FIG. Therefore, the holding member 6 is supported by the temple 24 and becomes stable.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when not worn, the left and right holding members 6 are configured to have a width narrower than the distance between the left and right temples 24 of the spectacles. Therefore, at the time of mounting, the U-shaped band 4 is opened so that the distance between the left and right holding members 6 is adjusted to the distance between the temples 24. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when mounted, the holding member 6 receives a force in the inward direction (direction of arrow A) due to the restoring force of the U-shaped band 4. In this embodiment, a guide 10 extending downward is provided on the outside of the step portion 11. As a result, the holding member 6 can be firmly fixed to the glasses 22. As shown in FIG. 1, the guide 10 is provided with a recess 13 in order to avoid interference with the wearer's ear.

Returning to FIG. 2, mounting guides 12 for mounting the wearable device are provided on the left and right outside of the holding member 6. A cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the mounting guide 12 is shown in FIG. 6B. A recess 90 for fitting and mounting the guide member 100 of the wearable device is provided at the base of the mounting guide 12.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a wearable device that can be attached. Here, the wearable computer 26 is shown as an example. The wearable computer 26 has a built-in CPU, flash memory, a battery (not shown), and the like. An optical transmission head-mounted display 130 and a camera 132 are provided at the tip portion via a flexible joint 134. The flexible joint 134 allows the angle of the optical transmission head-mounted display 130 to be changed.

A guide member 110 is provided on the inside. FIG. 6A shows a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the guide member 110. A convex portion 102 is provided at the tip of the guide member 110. The convex portion 102 can be fitted into the concave portion 90 (see FIG. 6B) of the mounting guide 12 of the holding member 6. Therefore, the wearable computer 26 can be fixed by fitting the guide member 110 from the rear side of the mounting guide 12. The tip end side of the mounting guide 12 is not released, and the guide member 110 stops.

The worn wearable computer 26 is heavier than the glasses 22 and the wearing tool 20. In this embodiment, the positions of the guide member 110 and the mounting guide 12 are determined so that the center of gravity of the wearable device such as the wearable computer 26 is slightly in front of the wearer's ear (about 1 cm to 10 cm) when the wearable computer 26 is mounted. ing. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the glasses from rising when the wearable device is attached.

In the above embodiment, the case where one type of fixing member 8 is used has been described. However, as shown in FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C, a plurality of fixing members 8 having different widths W may be prepared and replaced according to the thickness of the temple 24 of the glasses 22 to be worn.

In the above embodiment, the wearable computer 26 is attached as a wearable device. However, wearable devices such as LED lights, barcode readers, batteries, cameras, and projectors may be attached. Further, in the above description, only one wearable device is attached, but two wearable devices may be attached by using the left and right attachment guides 12.

In the above embodiment, the wearable device is detachably attached to the attachment 20. However, the wearable device and the fitting 20 may be integrally configured.

In the above embodiment, the fixing member 8 is removable. However, it may be provided integrally with the holding member 6.
