Claim:
An eyeglass frame holder, comprising: at least one vertical post: at least one supporting member for supporting an eyeglass frame comprising two glass retaining portions joined by a bridge portion, said at least one supporting member being connected to one of said at least one vertical post so as to project horizontally from it and being shaped and sized to fit into and support the bridge portion of the eyeglass frame; and a pair of retaining pins symmetrically mounted onto each of said at least one supporting member at a short distance from said at least one vertical post, said retaining pins extending coaxially in an horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical post so as to come into contact and hold the glass retaining portions on both sides of the bridge portion below the same where the eyeglass frame is positioned onto said at least one supporting member, thereby allowing the eyeglass frame to be held onto the holder with its glass retaining portions extending in a substantially vertical plane; wherein said supporting member comprises: a main body with an upper surface acting as a support for the bridge portion of the eyeglass frame, a pin holder to which both of said retaining pins are attached, said pin holder being slidably mounted onto said main body so as to be adjustably positionable at a requested distance from said at least one vertical post; and means for holding the pin holder onto the main body at the requested distance once it has been positioned at said requested distance, and wherein said means for holding the pin holder to the main body at the requested distance comprises a screw to set the main body and a compression spring mounted on said screw.
