A hang tag to be suspended from a chain below the neck or attached to the shirt pocket of a wearer so as to enable the wearer to reliably carry a pair of glasses, or the like, at times when the glasses are not in use such as, for example, while exercising, bathing, enjoying the beach or, in the case of sunglasses, in cloudy conditions. The hang tag includes an elongated body having a longitudinally extending track formed therethrough. A thumb operated adjustable push pad is located in and slidable along the track. One arm of the pair of glasses to be carried is moved through the track and folded over the bottom edge thereof. A pushing force is then applied to the adjustable push pad to cause the push pad to slide axially along the track and into engagement with the hinge that connects the folded arm to the frame of the glasses. Accordingly, the push pad exerts a clamping force on the hinge to prevent the unintended removal of the eyeglasses from the hang tag.
A hang tag by which to carry an article, said hang tag comprising a body, a track formed through said body to receive a portion of the article to be carried, a push pad coupled to said body and slidable along said track so as to move towards and into engagement with the portion of said article in order to apply a clamping force thereto to prevent the removal of the article from said track, and a clip connected to said body to enable said hang tag to be worn by a wearer.
