Abstract

The eyewear according to the present invention comprise: a lens having an electrical element; a hollow temple for holding the lens; a control unit for controlling the electrical element; an electronic component electrically connected to the control unit through a wire; and a hollow member arranged inside the temple while storing the wire inside, the hollow member deforming after the deformation of an ear hook when the ear hook is deformed to make a fit.

Claims (14)

1. An eyewear, comprising:

a lens including an electrical element;

a frame which holds the lens and is partially formed hollow;

a control unit for controlling the electrical element; an electronic component electrically connected to the control unit via wiring; and

a hollow member which is disposed within the frame in a state of housing the wiring therein and deforms by following deformation of the frame, wherein

the hollow member is disposed within a temple,

the temple includes an ear hooking portion including a bent portion, and the hollow member is disposed at the bent portion, and

the hollow member has an elastic deformation region that elastically deforms by following the deformation of the frame in a predetermined range including the bent portion of the ear hooking portion of the temple, and has an inelastic deformation region that deforms by following the deformation of the frame in a range other than the predetermined range including the bent portion of the ear hooking portion of the temple.

2. The eyewear according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow member elastically deforms by following the deformation of the frame.

3. The eyewear according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow member is formed of metal.

4. The eyewear according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow member is a coil spring.

5. The eyewear according to claim 1 , wherein: the elastic deformation region is formed of a coil spring, the inelastic deformation region is formed of a metal pipe, and the elastic deformation region and the inelastic deformation region are connected to each other.

6. The eyewear according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic component is an electric power source for supplying electric power to the control unit.

7. The eyewear according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic component is a sensor for acquiring body information of a user of the eyewear.
