Eyeglass holder
View Patent ↗This invention is an eyeglass holder attachable to clothing, office and shop equipment, handbags, luggage, vehicles and personal transportation. Cooperating clip arms of three designs—straight, rounded and comb shape—close on or around the desired attach object. Alternately, a magnet can attach the eyeglass holder to a ferrous metallic surface, or an adhesive strip to a surface accepting such strips. A solid rigid loop integral with a clip arm suspends the eyeglasses by one of the temple pieces. With straight and rounded clip arms, a movable slider partition can be placed in the loop for a firmer grip on the temple piece. In addition, a metallic or plastic ornament can be placed next to the loop on a clip arm. This eyeglass holder stores and releases eyeglasses safely and speedily, and can be firmly attached to a variety of objects in an optimal way. It is portable, straightforward to use and attractive.
1. An eyeglass holder for holding a pair of eyeglasses, said eyeglass holder being attachable to external objects and comprising
a straight upper clip arm with interior gripping surfaces;
a top lever joined to said upper clip arm at a junction point, together forming an upper crank;
a straight lower clip arm with interior gripping surfaces;
a bottom lever joined to said lower clip arm at a junction point, together forming a lower crank;
a spring hinge bringing together said upper crank and said lower crank coaxially at said junction points, with a spring force keeping said upper clip arm and said lower clip arm closed against each other;
a closed loop attached to said upper clip arm for holding a temple piece of said pair of eye glasses; and
a movable slider partition within said closed loop;
whereby by pressing together said top lever and said bottom lever said spring force is counteracted to form a clip arm aperture for subsequent closing on or around a said external object to attach said eyeglass holder with said pair of eyeglasses to a said external object.
