Abstract:
The field of invention relates to wearable retainers, and more particularly pertains to a new and improved eyewear retainer apparatus ( 100 ) wherein the same permits securement of ornamental indicia such as hatpins ( 110 ), lapel pins, trading pins and the like thereto. The magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer ( 100 ) has a cylindrical cavity ( 240 ) configured to releasably retain the nail portion ( 315 ) of said ornamental indicia. Said wearable retainer ( 100 ) attaches to shirts ( 900 ), hats ( 1200 ), jackets ( 1000 ), and other articles of clothing and accessories ( 1100 ). A hoop constructed of a length of fishing wire ( 120 ) is attached thereto said wearable retainer ( 100 ) for releasably securing eyewear ( 125 ). An earpiece ( 135 ) of said eyewear ( 125 ) is hooked through said hoop ( 120 ) until said eyewear lug ( 140 ) rests on said hoop ( 120 ), thus suspending said eyewear ( 125 ) therefrom. The embodiments disclosed herein retain ornamental nail bearing type indicia while keeping eyewear ( 125 ) and other items releasably attached thereto within easy reach.

       FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    The present disclosure pertains in general to magnetic wearable retainer devices and systems, more particularly to an eyeglass retaining apparatus, and, more specifically, to an eyeglass retainer having means for removably and interchangeably attaching a hatpin, lapel pin, and the like thereto for retaining. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0005]    Millions of people in the world today wear eyeglasses for such things as correcting vision deficiencies, reducing the intensity of light, and eye protection. According to the Vision Council of America, approximately sixty-four percent (64%) of adults wear glasses for vision correction, while about eighty-five percent (85%) of the American population wear sunglasses. Most eyewear users frequently need to remove their eyewear while keeping it close at hand so as to be readily available when needed. Eyeglass cases are commonly available for safe storage, as are eyeglass chains and cords which hold the eyeglasses around the persons neck when not in-use. However these methods may be frumpy, difficult to employ, vulnerable to loss, and even hazardous in some circumstances. People dressed in casual clothes are often reluctant to carry eyewear cases, and many deem the cases a burden to keep track of. While eyewear cords are fully capable of retaining the eyewear when not in-use, many prefer not to use them for aesthetic reasons. In addition, chains and cords can present a strangulation hazard in some environments. The present disclosure addresses many concerns including those related to the visual aesthetics of the eyewear holder itself, and provides for an aesthetically pleasing eyewear holder that can appear as an ornamental feature blending in with, and even complementing, the persons attire. 
         [0006]    The following is a tabulation of a variety of existing methods for securing items, such as eyewear, about oneself:

         [0007]    The patents and patent application publications in the tables above all describe retaining devices and systems that are lacking in the ability for the user to alter the visual aesthetics of the holder with commonly available ornamental nail bearing type indicia. 
         [0008]    It is an object of this disclosure to provide a novel unanticipated retaining apparatus capable of securing eyewear and the like, adapted to be securely and removably attached to portions of garments and the like such as, for example, a shirt, coat, purse, backpack, baseball cap, or similar, and having the ability to removably and interchangeably attach and retain an ornamental nail bearing pendant type element such as a hatpin, lapel pin, trading pin, or the like thereto. A review of prior disclosures within the crowded eyewear retention art does not disclose nor fairly suggest, either alone or in combination with any other reference, the object of the disclosed invention herein. After submitting the Provisional Patent Application No. 62/297,847, product research and evaluation revealed many people, in and outside the eyewear retention field, deemed the disclosed magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer to be the most functional, innovative, and “coolest” retainer they have ever seen. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0009]    Embodiments of the present magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer disclosure include a system and method for interchangeably attaching and securing ornamental pendant type elements bearing a nail such as hatpins, trading pins, lapel pins, tie tacks, stud earrings, and the like thereto. The wearable retainer assembly comprises a retention method for securing ornamental pendant type elements having a nail; a hoop for securing an item such as a pair of eyeglasses via the eyewear lug; and a means of attaching the wearable retainer assembly to an article of clothing, purse, backpack, jacket, or similar items as well as magnetically attractive surfaces and objects. 
         [0010]    A particular advantage of the present disclosure is the ability to interchangeably attach and display the ornamental pendant type elements to the wearable retainer. Even though the nail type indicia are designed to penetrate the material of the item to which they are attached, the wearable retainer assembly eliminates such material damaging means of attachment. 
         [0011]    Another advantage of the present disclosure is the ability to display a permanent logo or emblem in addition to the user selected ornamental pendant type element. 
         [0012]    Yet another advantage of the present invention is the resiliently flexible coated teardrop shaped retainer hoop for interchangeably securing items such as eyewear and earbuds. 
         [0013]    Still yet another advantage of the present disclosure is the shape of the retainer retaining base, which reduces the noticeableness of said retainer retaining base when in-use beneath a garment. 
         [0014]    Stated generally, the present magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer disclosed herein comprises a system for interchangeably attaching nail, or pin, type indicia, to an apparatus capable of retaining eyewear, while providing a means of attaching the wearable retainer to a plurality of clothing attire and accessories. 
         [0015]    The novel features which are considered as characteristic of the disclosure are set forth, in particular, in the appended claims. The disclosure itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.

         [0054]    The following descriptions are made referring to the figures, wherein identical reference numerals refer to like features throughout this disclosure. 
         [0055]    Referring now to the drawings in detail, the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in  FIGS. 1-3B . Turning briefly specifically to  FIG. 1 , it may be seen that the reference numeral  100  has been used herein to identify a preferred embodiment of the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100 , or magnetic retainer member, of the present disclosure. The wearable retainer  100  is shown displaying a user selected football hatpin  110 , and permanent text  145  in the logo area  150 . The logo area  150  is a surface suitable for marking methods such as etching, engraving, and milling, as well as adhesively bonding, thermally welding, or mechanically affixing permanent emblems and the like thereto. A logo can even be molded into the logo area  150  at the time of manufacturing the wearable retainer  100 . It is to be understood that the term logo can mean any wording, symbol, artwork or some combination thereof. The logo area  150  can display, for example, the logo or emblem of a company, college, band, non-profit organization, or sports team. It should be understood that this list is representative and not limiting. The wearable retainer  100  can be attached to an article of clothing such as a shirt  900  or jacket  1000 , or an accessory such as a purse  1100 , cap  1200 , or backpack (not shown). 
         [0056]    The wearable retainer  100  is not limited to a rectangular shape, and can be of any suitable shape, including circular, triangular, oval, or polygonal. A reason for choosing the selected shape of the preferred embodiment  100 , is due to reduced material and manufacturing costs. The wearable retainer  100  includes, as its main components, a nail aperture  240  for receiving the nail  315  portion of a desired ornamental pendant  110 , and a teardrop shaped retaining hoop  120  member that is permanently connected to the bottom side  210  of the wearable retainer  100 . 
         [0057]    The ornamental pendant spur cavity  230  of the wearable retainer  100 , allows user selected ornamental pendants  110  that have a spur  325  to set flush with the face  250  of said wearable retainer  100 . The height of the spur cavity wall  255 , is equal to or greater than the length of the ornamental pendant spur  325 . The raised edge of the spur offset ring  220  protruding from the wearable retainer face  250  allows the ornamental pendant back  335 , to be parallel with said wearable retainer face  250 . Specifically, said spur offset ring  220  and the ornamental pendant back  335  are abutted against each other. 
         [0058]      FIG. 3A  is a cross-sectional view of the form shown in  FIG. 2  along line  3 - 3 . The wearable retainer  100  can be constructed of any suitable material  340  such as, but not limited to, metals, plastics, wood, rubber, rubberized PVC or other rubberized materials. 
         [0059]    In the preferred embodiment  100  of the disclosure, the magnet  330  disposed therein is a rare earth magnet having its south magnetic pole (not labeled) oriented towards the back side  320  of said preferred embodiment  100 . The most common types of rare earth magnets are NdFeB, also referred to as NIB, or Neo, or Neodymium Iron Boron. Rare earth magnets are also made of other materials including samarium cobalt and toughened rare earth materials. The rare earth magnets composed of toughened rare earth materials are among the strongest and are preferred in embodiments of the disclosure. 
         [0060]    In this embodiment  100  the wearable retainer spur  345  pierces the ornamental pendant rubber clutch  305 , thereby securing said clutch in place and maintaining the direction of the ornamental pendant  110  front side with respect to the wearable retainer face  250 . The ornamental pendant nail  315  is retained in place by frictional contact with said ornamental pendant rubber clutch  305  nail aperture wall  540 . Alternatively, the rubber retainer clutch cavity  310  may be filled with suitable material capable of maintaining frictional contact with a portion of the ornamental pendant nail  315 , such that said ornamental pendant nail  315  is frictionally releasably secured. 
         [0061]    The back side of the preferred embodiment  320  provides an area suitable for consumer information such as “Patent Pending” and the like. 
         [0062]    Turning briefly to  FIG. 3B , an ornamental pendant rubber clutch  305  is removably secured to the embodiment  100  via the retainer spur  345  (not visible in  FIG. 3B ), and to the ornamental pendant  110  via the indicia nail  315  frictionally engaged with the ornamental pendant rubber clutch  305  through the wearable retainer nail aperture  240 . More specifically, the indicia nail  315  is inserted into the receiving aperture  240  of the wearable retainer  100  wherein frictional or clamping means exist to removably secure said indicia as described herein. Not all nail type indicia are comprised of ferrous materials and thus attracted to magnets, therefore said clamping means are utilized. 
         [0063]    This embodiment  100  allows a user to replace the ornamental pendant rubber clutch  305 , via the back opening of the retainer clutch cavity  310 , should the retaining abilities of the rubber clutch aperture  540  diminish. 
         [0064]    The orientation of the front side of the ornamental pendant  110  with respect to the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer face  250 , is maintained by the wearable retainer spur  345  within the pendant clutch cavity  310 . The wearable retainer spur  345  pierces the ornamental pendant rubber clutch  305  thereby maintaining the desired orientation with respect to the wearable retainer face  250 . 
         [0065]    Additionally, other types of ornamental pendant clutch mechanisms, such as the deluxe or flat top clutch (not shown), can be incorporated for improved securement means. In other embodiments, the pendant clutching mechanism is integrated within the wearable retainer embodiment  600 . It will be understood that the composition of an integrated clutch  630  may take many forms, including, but not limited to, rubber, metal, foam, and plastic. 
         [0066]    In the embodiment shown in  FIG. 4 , the ornamental pendant rubber clutch  305  is visible through the wearable retainer embodiment  400  clutch cavity opening  440 . This embodiment  400  provides a raised circular top surface  450 , at a height of at least the length of the pendant spur  325  from the wearable retainer face  410 . 
         [0067]    Said raised circular top surface  450  provides a surface for the ornamental pendant  110  area between the nail  315  and spur  325  to rest flush against, such that said spur  325  does not prevent the ornamental pendant back  335  from being flush with said raised circular top surface  450 , and thus allowing the front side of the ornamental pendant  110  and wearable retainer face  410  to be parallel. Specifically, said raised circular top surface  450  and the ornamental pendant back  335  are abutted against each other. 
         [0068]      FIG. 5  is a cross-sectional view of the form shown in  FIG. 4  along line  5 - 5 . The magnetic material  530  in this embodiment  400  is directly beneath the pendant clutch cavity  510 , thereby reducing the depth and width of the back side (not labeled) of the wearable retainer embodiment  400  to the size needed to encompass the magnetic material  530  therein. The embodiment material  520  can be comprised of plastic, rubber, rubberized PVC, or any other suitable type of material or combination thereof. The diameter of the ornamental pendant nail aperture  240  is greater than or equal to the rubber clutch nail aperture  540 . 
         [0069]      FIG. 6  illustrates an embodiment of the wearable retainer  600  in which the ornamental pendant nail clutch mechanism  630  is integrated into the wearable retainer embodiment material  720 . The distance between the surface of the nail clutch mechanism  630  and the embodiments topmost surface  620  on which the ornamental pendant back side  335  rests when in-use, may be less than the length of the pendant spur  325 . The distance between said surfaces is proportional to the pliability of said nail clutch mechanism  630  material. Said distance between surfaces is determined by subtracting the depth to which the ornamental pendant spur  325  penetrates said clutch mechanism material  710 , when the ornamental pendant nail  315  is inserted into the pendant nail aperture  640 , from the length of said spur  325 . More pliable clutch mechanism material  710  that allow the entire length of the spur  325  to penetrate, require little if any distance between said surfaces. The angle of the bottom portion  610  of this embodiment  600  provides a better means of grasping said wearable retainer  600  when removing it from the wearable retainer retaining base  1300 . 
         [0070]      FIG. 7  is a cross-sectional view of the form shown in  FIG. 6  along line  7 - 7 . The ornamental pendant nail clutch material  710  can be comprised of rubber, rubberized PVC, or any other suitable type of material or combination thereof that exhibit a coefficient of friction necessary to releasably retain the ornamental pendant nail  315  in the wearable retainer nail clutch aperture  640 . The embodiment material  720  can be comprised of plastic, rubber, rubberized PVC, or any other suitable type of material or combination thereof. A rare earth magnet  730  is disposed within the bottom portion  610  of this embodiment  600 . 
         [0071]      FIG. 8  illustrates a wearable retainer embodiment  800  which provides a chuck type mechanism for securely retaining the ornamental pendant nail  315 . The cylindrical chuck or collar  840  is mounted about the plurality of jaws  830  and is in operative communication with said jaws  830  so that rotation of the chuck  840  in a clock-wise direction moves the jaws  830  into a fractionally gripping relationship with the ornamental pendant nail  315 , and rotation of the chuck  840  in a counter clock-wise direction, releases said gripping relationship. Threads  810  formed on the jaw&#39;s  830  outer surface may be constructed in any suitable type and pitch. The diameter of the chuck  840  is such that the ornamental pendants spur  325  overhangs the face of the chuck  850 . The curvature of the base  820  of this embodiment  800  provides a better means of grasping the wearable retainer when removing it from the wearable retainer retaining base  1300 . The retaining hoop  825  is attached on opposite sides, or left and right (not labeled), of this embodiment  800 , providing a wider hoop  825  aperture for retaining more or larger items (not shown) than can be retained by the aforementioned retainer retaining hoop  120  having both ends disposed on the bottom side  210 . 
         [0072]    In-use, as shown in  FIG. 9 , a pair of eyeglasses  910  are attached to a shirt  900  via the wearable retainer retaining hoop  120 . The lug  920  of the eyewear  910  is secured via the retaining hoop  120  of the wearable retainer  100 . 
         [0073]    As will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, as illustrated in  FIG. 10 , the preferred embodiment of the wearable retainer  100  and retainer retaining base  1300  cooperate to secure the wearable retainer  100  in close abutting engagement to the jacket  1000 . The retainer retaining base  1300  resiliently distributes the load of the eyewear  1030  over a broad area of the jacket  1000  to avoid or mitigate an unsightly stretching or pulling of the fabric about said wearable retainer  100 . The ornamental pendant  1010  can be easily changed for a specific setting or occasion without removing the wearable retainer  100  from the article to which it is attached. Multiple items, including eyewear  1030  and earbuds  1040 , are shown being simultaneously attached to said wearable retainer  100 . The lug  1020  of said eyewear  1030  is removably secured via the retainer hoop  120  of the wearable retainer  100 . 
         [0074]    Eyewear placed in a handbag or purse  1100  may be difficult to locate and can easily be damaged or scratched by other items in the purse.  FIG. 11  illustrates the wearable retainer  100  affixed to the purse  1100  using the small retainer retaining base  1500 . Said small retainer retaining base  1500  is suitable for affixing the wearable retainer  100  to items comprised of rigid materials, such as the purse  1100 , where the rigidity of the material provides the aforementioned stabilizing characteristics of the retainer retaining base  1300  illustrated in  FIG. 13 . The eyewear lug  1120  is secured by threading the ear piece (not shown) of the eyewear  1110  through the retaining hoop  120  of the wearable retainer  100 , releasably secured to the side of the purse  1100 , until the lug  1120  rests on the retaining hoop  120 . The ornamental pendant  1130  could be any nail type pendant that fits the occasion, season, or attire, and can be changed as desired. The magnetic properties of said small retainer retaining base  1500  allows the wearable retainer  100  to be securely affixed without piercing or damaging the purse  1100 . The wearable retainer  100  can alternately be affixed directly to a ferrous surface of an accessory. Such ferrous accessory surfaces may include clasps, buttons, buckles, and the like. 
         [0075]      FIG. 12  is a perspective view showing the back of a hat  1200 , or baseball cap, with a pair of eyewear  1220  in the secured position with the eyewear lug  1210  secured to the wearable retainer  100  assembly via the retaining hoop  120 . The ornamental pendant  1230  affixed to the wearable retainer  100  can be changed as easily as the location of the wearable retainer  100  itself. From the front of the shirt  900 , to the sleeve (not labeled) or front of the jacket  1000 , to the side of the purse  1100 , or to the back of the cap  1200 —the same wearable retainer  100  is capable of affixing to each. 
         [0076]    Once the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  and retainer retaining base  1300  are brought into magnetic attractive communication with each other and mated together, as shown in  FIG. 13 , the magnetic attractive forces between said wearable retainer  100  and retainer retaining base  1300  hold them releasably securely together. The combination of said magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  and said retainer retaining base  1300 , form a preferred embodiment of a magnetic securing device assembly. 
         [0077]      FIG. 14  is a cross-sectional view of the form shown in  FIG. 13  along line  14 - 14 . The multipurpose wearable retainer retaining base  1300  of the preferred wearable retainer embodiment  100 , includes a front side first planar section  1330  in the form of a circle and a lower second planar section  1310 , in the form of a ring, encircling said first planar section. The first planer section  1330  is centered within the second planar section  1310 . A rare earth magnet  1410  is positioned between the first planar section  1330  and the back side  1430  of said retainer retaining base  1300 . The north magnetic pole (not labeled) of said rare earth magnet  1410  is oriented towards said first planar section  1330  of said wearable retainer retaining base  1300 , thereby causing the back side  320  of said wearable retainer  100  to be in attractive magnetic communication with said first planar section  1330  of said retainer retaining base  1300 . 
         [0078]    Said first  1330  and second planar sections  1310  are separated by a sloped ring section  1320 , wherein the length of the slope from said first planar section  1330  to said second planar section  1310  is at least the distance between the retainer retaining base front side  1330  and back side  1430 . The slope  1320  between said planar sections reduces the visibility of the wearable retainer retaining base  1300  beneath articles of clothing by gradually reducing the thickness between the front side  1330  and back side  1430  of said retainer retaining base  1300  as the outer edge (not labeled) is approached as depicted in  FIG. 14 . 
         [0079]    The retainer retaining base  1300  is preferably formed of resilient material that is sufficiently stiff, thereby providing resilient vertical and horizontal support when attached to clothing  900  upon engagement of eyewear  125  to the retaining hoop member  120 . Said resilient materials generally include those comprised of plastic and rubber. The weight of the items retained by the retaining hoop  120  is distributed about the retaining base back side  1430  and front second planar section  1310 . Because of the raised first planner section  1330 , the outline of the retainer retaining base  1300  when in-use under clothing is less noticeable due to the circular shaped sloping section  1320 . 
         [0080]    The circular shape of the retainer retaining base back  1430  combined with it having a larger area than the raised first planar section  1330 , causes loads  1030  suspended from the retaining hoop  120  member to be stabilized in all directions when in motion and mitigates stretching, pulling, and deformation of clothing articles  1000  in all directions. The frictional properties of the material  1420  comprising the retainer retaining base  1300  is sufficient to prevent the wearable retainer  100  from sliding about a shirt  900 , jacket  1000 , or other articles to which it is attached. 
         [0081]    A unique aspect of the wearable retainer retaining base  1300  is that the load retained by the retaining hoop  120  is distributed about the lower retainer retaining base back  1340  portion and the upper portion of the second planer surface  1310  on the front. The shape of the retainer retaining base  1300  distributes a portion of the load about the surface contacting (not shown) the bottom back side  1430  of said retainer retaining base  1300 . Additionally, another portion of the load is distributed about the top of the second planar surface  1310  about the material to which it is attached (not shown). The same load bearing distributing characteristics apply to left and right sides (not labeled) of said retainer retaining base  1300 . 
         [0082]    By attaching the wearable retainer  100  to the center of said retainer retaining base  1300  having a broad, gradually thinning, edge minimizing, circular load distributing foundation (not labeled), said retainer retaining base  1300  is less visible to observers and provides a stable foundation thereby reducing noticeable fabric surface disruptions thereabout the multipurpose wearable retainer  100  while the user is in motion. Additionally, said retainer retaining base  1300  member edges (not labeled) between the back side  1430  and front second planar section  1310  are rounded, thereby further reducing visible edges when in-use beneath said clothing. 
         [0083]    The small wearable retainer retaining base  1500 , illustrated in  FIG. 15 , is suitable for mounting the wearable retainer  100  to items made of rigid materials, such as a purse  1100  or backpack (not shown). Said small retainer retaining base  1500  is also suitable where the available area for mounting the retainer retaining base  1300  is limited, such as a baseball cap  1200  or swimwear (not shown). 
         [0084]      FIG. 16  is a cross-sectional view of the small multipurpose wearable retainer retaining base  1500  shown in  FIG. 15  along line  16 - 16 , illustrating the composition of said small retainer retaining base  1500 . The front side outer edge (not labeled) of said small retainer retaining base  1500  is rounded to reduce the imprint when worn under garments made of thin material such as swimwear (not shown), and the back side outer edge (not labeled) is rounded to prevent abrasions against the surface it abuts. The magnet  1410  therein the small retainer retaining base  1500  is made of rare earth magnetic material. 
         [0085]    In-use, as shown in  FIG. 17 , a pair of eyeglasses  125  are retained by the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  attached to a ferrous metal key ring retaining system  1710 , thereby demonstrating the versatility of said disclosed multipurpose wearable retainer  100  by retaining eyewear while attached to non-wearable items. Some items comprised of ferrous metals that may be desirable for attachment may include a gym locker door, towel rack, lamp stand, beach umbrella pole, or even a door knob or handle so as to not forget the eyewear  125  when exiting through said door. 
         [0086]    The preferred embodiment of the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  and magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer retaining base  1300 , are both comprised of rare earth magnets providing advantages over embodiments wherein the retainer retaining base  1300  magnetically attractive material  1410  is comprised of ferromagnetic material. This allows said wearable retainer  100  and said wearable retainer retaining base  1300  to be attached to non-ferrous non-wearable items where an appropriate substrate is available such as a curtain, beach umbrella, or pillow case (none shown). 
         [0087]    Additionally, the wearable retainer preferred embodiment back side  320  and the wearable retainer retaining base front side  1330  are configured having opposite rare earth magnetic poles therein (not labeled), causing said sides to be in attractive magnetic communication when brought into close proximity with each other. The specific orientation of magnetic polarities ensures the advantageous retainer retaining base  1300  front side is always oriented in the desired direction, thereby enabling the retainer retaining base  1300  advantages therein when in-use. 
         [0088]    Said advantages include being able to direct a specific predetermined side of said retainer retaining base  1300 , having advantageous characteristics therein for attachment, towards the back side of the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100 . Such advantageous characteristics include the previously disclosed characteristics of said wearable retainer retaining base  1300  wherein the visible sagging, pulling, and twisting of the garment (not shown) are mitigated. Another unique advantage is being able to position the magnetic material  1430  within the retainer retaining base  1300  closer to the side attracted to said multipurpose wearable retainer  100 , resulting in less material between the magnets impeding the retention abilities. The disclosed characteristics of said wearable retainer retaining base  1300  make it less visible through garments when the front side of said retainer retaining base  1300 , the side having the advantages, is oriented towards the back side of said wearable retainer  100 . 
         [0089]    To make use of this device, the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  is adapted to attract the magnetic wearable retainer retaining base  1300  through a portion of the user&#39;s clothing, whereby the retainer retaining base is positioned inside the user&#39;s clothing and the wearable retainer is brought into close proximity, with the portion of clothing sandwiched therebetween, causing the operative combination of said wearable retainer  100  and said wearable retainer retaining base  1300  to magnetically secure said wearable retainer  100  to the user&#39;s clothing by the clamping or gripping magnetic force imparted thereon. Items to be retained can be attached to the wearable retainer retaining hoop  120  prior to or after attachment to clothing. 
         [0090]    For retaining eyewear specifically, starting with the eyewear  125  in a folded-closed configuration, an ear piece  135  of the eyewear  125  is opened enough to be inserted through the aperture of the retaining hoop  120  that extends from the bottom  210  of said wearable retainer  100 , and the associated ear piece  135  temple bar  130  is slid downward through said retaining hoop  120  aperture until reaching the lug  140  of the associated ear piece  135  of the eyewear  125 . The retaining hoop  120 , constructed from a length of commonly available nylon coated fishing wire, is configured to retain the eyewear  125  in a folded-closed configuration suspended by the lug  140  in a balanced pendulous hanging manner. 
         [0091]    The eyewear  125  retained by the multipurpose wearable retainer  100  requires no modifications to be securely retained, and articles of clothing  900  and accessories  1100  to which the wearable retainer  100  is releasably secured, requires no modifications for the attachment of said wearable retainer  100 . 
         [0092]    The user releasably secures the nail bearing ornamental pendant  110  type indicia to the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  by aligning the point (not labeled) of the ornamental pendant nail  315  with the ornamental pendant nail aperture  240  of said magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100 , and then inserting said pendant nail  315  into said ornamental pedant nail aperture  240  until the back of said ornamental pendant is flush and parallel with the front side of said magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  or the spur  325  of said nail bearing ornamental pendant  110  type indicia abuts against the front side of said multipurpose wearable retainer  100 . 
         [0093]    When the wearer desires to remove the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  from attractive magnetic communication with the wearable retainer retaining base  1300 , the wearer applies a force sufficient to break the attractive magnetic communication between said wearable retainer magnet  330  and said wearable retainer retaining base magnet  1410 , while moving the wearable retainer  100  away from said retainer retaining base  1300  after said attractive magnetic communication is broken. 
         [0094]    Specifically, the wearer removes said wearable retainer  100  by pressing on the material beside the wearable retainer  100 , and thus applying pressure to the wearable retainer retaining base  1300  beneath said material, thereby imparting pressure on or about the lower second planar section  1310  of said retainer retaining base  1300 , while simultaneously grasping the sides and pulling said wearable retainer  100  in the direction away from said retainer retaining base  1300  being held in place by said wearer applied pressure. By using the lower second planar section  1310  of said wearable retainer retaining base  1300  for leverage, breaking the magnetic coupling therebetween is accomplished with less effort than without said retainer retaining base leveraging means. 
         [0095]    The disclosed device provides many advancements in the crowded eyewear retainer art. One such advantage is the ability to releasably secure a hatpin to the eyewear retaining device  100 , thereby allowing users to adapt the visual appearance of said eyewear retainer  100  to ones attire or specific occasion at hand. Additionally, having an area suitable for affixing permanent logo type markings and indicia  150  in combination with users being able to releasably retain common off the shelf hatpins and the like thereto, make said wearable retainer  100  a versatile dual advertising medium. Similarly, having the ability to retain nail type indicia, in combination with one or more user selected accessories, such as eyewear, make this a versatile multipurpose wearable retainer  100 . 
         [0096]    The use of a length of fishing wire to form a retaining hoop  120  is advantageous in that eyewear comprised of larger lugs  1210 , may be hooked on the retainer retaining hoop  120  just as easily as those comprised of smaller lugs  140 , such as reading glasses  125 . This is significant as prior art fails at properly retaining newer styles of eyewear having up to three-quarters of an inch lugs and a third of an inch temple bar thickness. The teardrop shaped fishing wire retainer retaining hoop  120  of the preferred embodiment  100 , securely retains eyewear including the newer styles comprised of said larger lugs  1210 . 
         [0097]    The unique teardrop shaped retaining hoop  120  in combination with the properties of the fishing wire, allows for movements of the eyewear with said retaining hoop during use, instead of sliding along a non-flexible retaining means or twisting the fabric. Allowing such movements further prevents pulling and stretching of clothing to which the wearable retainer  100  is attached. 
         [0098]    In addition, the aforementioned teardrop characteristics provide better securement means than prior art when the wearer is not in an upright vertical position. For example, if the user bends over, said teardrop shaped retaining hoop  120  in combination with the aforementioned properties of said fishing wire, keeps the eyewear secure by said retaining hoop  120  flexibly bending and turning, thereby allowing said eyewear lug  140  to rotate about said fishing wire, keeping said eyewear lug  140  above said retaining hoop  120 . 
         [0099]    The unique shape of the multipurpose wearable retainer retaining base  1300  provides means for substantially unnoticeable attachment beneath clothing. Using rare earth magnets in both the wearable retainer  100  and retainer retaining base  1300 , while not necessarily non-obvious in and of itself, provides the necessary means for secure attachment to thicker types of items such as a jacket  1000  or purse  1100 . However, orienting the polarities of the the wearable retainer magnet  330  and retainer retaining base magnet  1410  such that specific sides with advantageous characteristics when in-use in attractive magnetic communication, is believed to be yet another less than obvious discovery disclosed. 
         [0100]    Yet another advantage, is the eyewear or items being retained by the retaining hoop  120 , do not need to be removed from the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  when said wearable retainer  100  is removed from clothing. The securement of eyewear is not dependent on the wearable retainer  100  being abutted to the wearable retainer retaining base  1300 . That is, the retention abilities are not dependent on the state of use, since the retaining hoop  120  retention abilities are always present even when not attached to clothing or accessories. 
         [0101]    Finally, the eyewear and item to which the magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer  100  is attached, does not need physical modifications for using said wearable retainer  100 , such as attaching retaining means to the eyewear or puncturing the item to which the wearable retainer is to be attached. 
         [0102]    No known disclosure is presently available that is capable, nor has the required structure, to retain a nail type indicia and a plurality of accessories including eyewear as disclosed herein. Additionally, no eyewear retaining product currently exists on the market today allowing the wearer to change the appearance with commonly available nail type indicia such as a hat pin. 
         [0103]    While certain novel features of this disclosure have been described and illustrated herein as embodied in a specific construction of a magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer designed to secure an ornamental pendant to be displayed as well as supporting a pair of eyeglasses while not being used, it is not limited to the details of this particular construction, since it is understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present disclosure. 
         [0104]    Furthermore, no element, component, or method step in the present disclosure is intended to be dedicated to the public regardless of whether the element, component, or method step is explicitly recited in the claims. No claim element herein is to be construed under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, unless the element is expressly recited using the phrase “means for.” 
         [0105]    Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present disclosure that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this disclosure.
