Combination eyeglass lens polisher and eyeglass holder device

Abstract

The improved combination eyeglass lens polisher and eyeglass holder device includes an elongated, flexible, resilient bottom strip having opposite ends and a bottom surface and opposite upper surface. The bottom surface and, preferably, the entire bottom strip, is non-abrasive to eyeglass lenses and is adapted for polishing such lenses. A pair of flexible, resilient eyeglass holder pockets are secured, as by stitching, to the upper surface of the bottom strip adjacent its opposite ends and are spaced apart to define a central foldable portion therebetween. The pockets hold a pair of eyeglasses, with one lens thereof in each pocket. When it is desired to polish the lenses, the eyeglasses are removed from the pockets, the thumb of one hand is inserted in one pocket and the forefinger and middle finger of the same hand are inserted in the other pocket, and then the opposite ends of the bottom strip are bent toward each other, using the fingers in the pockets to effect the same, the device folding around the central foldable portion, so that an eyeglass lens is embraced on both sides simultaneously by the bottom surface of the bottom strip. Polishing thereof is carried out by kneading, using the pocketed fingers. The bottom strip can be of chamois, cotton or the like, and the device can contain an openable closure such as a drawstring across the mouths of the pockets, with or without a pull tab and releasable slide lock.
