Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A hinge including a first hinge part and a second hinge part configured to be attached respectively to a first spectacle frame element and a second spectacle frame element, the first hinge part being rotatable relative to the second hinge part, the first hinge part including a first electronic support part supporting at least a first electronic component and a first wire core part extending from the first electronic support part through at least one of the first or second spectacle frame element, the first electronic support part and the first wire core part are embodied in the first hinge part.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A hinge comprising a first hinge part and a second hinge part configured to be attached respectively to a first spectacle frame element and a second spectacle frame element, the first hinge part being rotatable relative to the second hinge part, the first hinge part comprising a first electronic support part supporting at least a first electronic component and a first wire core part extending from the first electronic support part through at least one of the first or second spectacle frame element, the first electronic support part and the first wire core part are embodied in the first hinge part, and wherein the second hinge part comprises a reinforcement support comprising a second electronic support part supporting at least a second electronic component and a second wire core part extending from the second electronic support part through the second spectacle frame element, the reinforcement support being configured to be embodied in the second spectacle frame element. 2. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein the hinge is configured to allow a limited opening rotation angle between the first spectacle frame element and the second spectacle frame element. 3. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first spectacle frame element and the second spectacle frame element is a spectacle temple and the other of the first spectacle frame element and the second spectacle frame element is a spectacle front part. 4. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein the first electronic component and/or the second electronic element comprises a sensor. 5. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first electronic component and/or the second electronic element comprises a radio wave emitting component. 6. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and the second hinge parts comprises at least a window arranged to be transparent to light and/or radio waves. 7. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and the second electronic components comprises a light emitting component, for example a LED and the material of the hinge is at least partly transparent to some wavelengths of light. 8. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein the material of the hinge is at least partly transparent to ultraviolet light and the hinge further comprises a sensor arranged and configured to measure the ultraviolet light. 9. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein the hinge is made by tridimensional printing, laser cutting, matrixing or injection. 10. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and the second wire core parts is tubular and an electrical wire and/or an optical fiber extends from at least one of the first and the second electronic components through the tubular wire core part of the hinge. 11. A spectacle frame comprising a hinge according to claim 1 .
