Abstract
An eyeglass holder for securing eyeglasses to a material including a first clip for removably attaching the eyeglass holder to the material. The first clip including a first arm. The eyeglass holder further including an eyeglass support pivotally attached to the first arm for receiving and removably securing a portion of the eyeglasses thereto. The support being rotatable about a first axis and a second axis. The second axis is offset from the first axis, thereby allowing the support to maintain a vertical position with regard to gravity substantially independent of a position of the first clip.
Claims20
An eyeglass holder for securing eyeglasses having a temple arm to a material comprising:
- a first clip for removably attaching said eyeglass holder to the material, said first clip including a first arm;
- and
- an eyeglass support pivotally attached to said first arm for receiving and removably securing a portion of said eyeglasses thereto, said support being rotatable about a first axis and a second axis, said second axis being offset from said first axis thereby allowing said support to maintain a vertical position with regard to gravity substantially independent of a position of said first clip, said support defining a first aperture for receiving the temple arm of the eyeglasses and a second aperture depending from and in communication with said first aperture, and a neck portion extending between said first and second apertures, said neck portion forming a gap being sized to permit the eyeglass temple arm to pass from said first aperture to said second aperture and provide resistance from movement of the temple arm from the second aperture to the first aperture.
An eyeglass holder for securing eyeglasses to a material comprising:
- a first clip for removably attaching said eyeglass holder to the material, said first clip including a first arm and a second arm pivotally connected to said first arm and disposed substantially opposed from and adjacent to said first arm, said first and second arms being movable relative to each other between an open and clamping position, a first biasing means for urging a portion of said first arm against a portion of said second arm thereby urging said first clip toward the clamping position and permitting said first clip to clamp the material between said first and second arms, said first and second arms having an upper portion and said first clamp being movable toward the open upon pressing said first and second arm upper portions toward each other;
- a second clip for securing said eyeglass holder to the material, said second clip including a third arm resiliently secured to said first clip, and a second biasing means for urging said third arm toward said first clip for securing the material between said third arm and said first clip, said third arm having an elongate slot formed therein for attachment to a support surface;
- and
- an eyeglass support pivotally attached to said first arm for receiving and removably securing a portion of said eyeglasses thereto, said support being rotatable about a first axis and a second axis, said second axis being offset from said first axis thereby allowing said support to maintain a vertical position with regard to gravity substantially independent of a position of said first clip.
