Abstract:
A holder for eyeglasses comprising:a) a frame integrally formed from a single piece of resilient material, said frame having a pair of opposed ends and a pair of opposed sides, said frame comprising: 1) a base section having a first end and a generally opposed second end, and a pair of opposed sides, 2) a holding section having a first end and a generally opposed second end and a pair of opposed sides, said base and holding sections being configured to form a receiving space defined between opposed inner surfaces of said base and holding sections and extending from side to side of said sections, for receiving therein the crossed arms of a pair of eyeglasses, said base and holding sections being joined together generally at said first ends, and a second end of one of said sections being separated from the other of said sections to form an entrance into and out of said receiving space,said second end being normally in sufficiently close proximity to said other of said sections to bar passage of the arms through said entrance, but being movable away from said other of said sections by flexing of at least one of said sections to enlarge said entrance to allow movement by the eyeglasses arms through said entrance and in and out of said receiving space, andb) at least one displaceable holding member supported by said frame, said displaceable member being positioned to be engaged and displaced by the crossed eyeglasses arms when the arms are inserted into said space, said member exerting, in combination with said frame, a frictional holding force on the arms for limiting movement of the arms in said space.
