Eyeglass strap retainer device

An eyeglass strap retainer device for use with an eyeglass assembly comprising a central frame and two temple legs extending rearwardly from the central frame, each of the temple legs having a free end section, the device comprising:

• (a) an elongate flexible strap comprising two terminal end sections, each of said terminal end sections bent back juxtaposed to the strap forming a loop,
• (b) clasp means to frictionally grip each of the terminal end sections and the strap to secure the loops, each loop comprising an opening and an end,
• (c) two resilient helical compression springs, through each of which one of the loops is threaded, each of the springs comprising a length and a terminal end,
• (d) first stop means proximate each loop to prevent the springs from sliding past a first stop position along the strap in a direction away from the loop end, and
• (e) second stop means proximate each loop to prevent the springs from sliding past a second stop position along the strap in a direction off the loop end,
• wherein the relative positions of the terminal ends of each of the spring and loop end combinations, when each of the springs are against the first stop means, require compression of the spring to engage the loop over a free end section of the temple leg of the eyeglass assembly.
