Claims4
An eyeglass cord retainer apparatus for use with an eyeglass assembly wherein the eyeglass assembly includes a central frame and the central frame pivotally mounts a temple leg at each side of the frame wherein each temple leg extends rearwardly of the frame and wherein the apparatus comprises,
- an elongate flexible securement cord, the securement cord including spaced terminal ends, each terminal end including an end ring formed to each terminal end, and
- each end ring mounted to a respective elastomeric support loop, each elastomeric support loop including a spring member mounted about each support loop to define a figure eight configuration within each support loop and wherein the figure eight configuration of each support loop defines an upper loop and a lower loop, each upper loop of each support loop arranged for frictional surrounding engagement with a respective temple leg, and
- each lower loop of each respective support loop secured to each end ring, and
- wherein each spring member defines an elongate helically wound and longitudinally compressible coil spring wherein the coil spring is mounted about a major medial surface of each support loop to define the figure eight configuration of each support loop.
