Abstract:
1. A prop system for a secondary pair of eyeglasses comprising: a prop portion of substantially rigid material, the prop portion having an inward edge and an outward edge; and an attachment portion disposed on the outward edge affixable to a secondary pair of eyeglasses upon a wearer side of temples of the secondary pair of eyeglasses at positions proximate to a junction between the temples of the secondary pair of eyeglasses and a frame of the secondary eyeglasses, thereby providing a prop extending essentially orthogonally and inwardly from the temples of the secondary pair of eyeglasses; wherein the prop portion is receivable by resting upon upper surfaces of temples of a primary pair of eyeglasses to support a full weight of the secondary pair of eyeglasses when placed over the primary pair of eyeglasses, without the secondary pair of eyeglasses contacting a wearer's nose whereby the temples of the secondary pair of eyeglasses extend from the affixable prop positions away from the junction and towards an earpiece providing a counter balance to the weight of the frame of the secondary eyeglasses; and wherein donning and removal of the secondary pair of eyeglasses requires no wearer operation of a mechanical retention device or a magnetic retention device between the primary pair of eyeglasses and the secondary pair of eyeglasses other than lifting the secondary pair of eyeglasses up and away from the primary pair of eyeglasses, thereby enabling single-handed donning and removal of the secondary pair of eyeglasses.
