Claim:
1. A holding clip comprising: a rectangular tube, a hinge, and a clip; wherein the holding clip is adapted for use with eyeglasses; wherein the holding clip is adapted to be attached to the eyeglasses; wherein the holding clip is adapted to attach the eyeglasses to an object; wherein the rectangular tube is in a shape of a hollow rectangular block with a first open end and a second open end; wherein the rectangular tube is further defined with a length, width, and breadth; wherein the first open end and the second open end are adapted to receive and secure the rectangular tube to a temple of the eyeglasses; wherein the clip fastens the holding clip to an article of clothing; wherein the clip comprises a curved bar and a third mounting hole; wherein the curved bar is a curved shaft that runs along a side of the rectangular tube in a direction parallel to a direction of a temple of the eyeglasses; wherein the curved bar curves away from the side of the rectangular tube and is adapted to be in a direction away from a head; wherein the clip is further defined with a first end and a second end; wherein the curved bar lays flat against the rectangular tube from the first end of the clip to the hinge; wherein the curved bar curves away from the side of the rectangular tube and is adapted to be in a direction away from the head from the hinge to the second end of the curved bar; wherein the first end of the clip does not extend beyond the rectangular tube; wherein the third mounting hole is a hole that is formed through a width of the clip; wherein the hinge further comprises a spring, a first mount, a second mount and a pivot pin; wherein the first mount is a rectangular projection that is attached to the rectangular tube such that it projects perpendicularly away from the rectangular tube and is adapted to be in a direction away from the head; wherein the second mount is a flat rectangular projection that is attached to the rectangular tube such that it projects perpendicularly away from the rectangular tube and is adapted to be in a direction away from the head; wherein the first mount and the second mount are parallel to each other; wherein a first mounting hole is formed in the first mount; wherein a second mounting hole is formed in the second mount; wherein the first mount and the second mount are identical; wherein the first mounting hole is sized to receive the pivot pin; wherein the pivot pin is used to attach the clip to the hinge; wherein the clip is connected to the hinge by inserting the pivot pin into the third mounting hole; wherein the pivot pin is further defined as a shaft; wherein the pivot pin acts as a pivot point of the hinge; wherein the first mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the third mounting hole are aligned such that the clip will rotate freely around the pivot pin; wherein the pivot pin is further defined with a fifth end and a sixth end; wherein the second end of the curved bar acts as a lever that rotates the first end of curved bar away from the rectangular tube; wherein the spring is placed over the fifth end of the pivot pin; wherein the sixth end of the pivot pin is inserted through the third mounting hole into the second mounting hole; the fifth end of the pivot pin is inserted into first mounting hole; wherein the fifth end of the pivot pin and the sixth end of the pivot pin are secured to the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole; wherein a lever stop extends away from the first open end of the rectangular tube; wherein the lever stop prevents over rotation of the curved bar when actuating the clip.
