Button-on holder for eyeglasses

Abstract

An unobtrusive eyeglass hanger attached by a button to the front of a shirt or blouse comprises a thin sheet of flexible material with a specially shaped throughhole having a large temple-retaining portion near the lower end of the hanger and a smaller thread-retaining portion near the top. The hanger is donned by inserting a shirt button through the temple-retaining portion of the hole and forcing the threads holding the button to the shirt through a narrow locking slot between the temple-retaining and thread-retaining portions. One of the temples of a pair of spectacles that are not being worn is inserted through the temple-retaining portion. The hanger holds the eyeglasses in a way that permits the wearer to bend forward at the waist without fear of dropping them onto the ground. Various messages, logos and the like may be printed on a top portion of the hanger, and the hanger then distributed as an advertising specialty item.
