Eyeglass frame protector dispensing system and method

Abstract

Eyeglass frame protective coverings are formed on sheets, which make up a cylindrical roll. The roll consists of a plurality of perforated, connected sheets, each sheet containing one protective covering formed on each sheet. Each protective covering is connected to its respective sheet by perforations, which allows the covering to be easily removed from the sheet for use. A bridge section interconnects the two tubular pocket-like temple frame components of the protective covering. The bridge section is configured to be pulled to remove the covering from the sheet and is also perforated at its midpoint, thus allowing the bridge section to be easily separated once the temple frame components are placed on the temple pieces of the eyeglasses. Once separated, the two parts of the bridge section are draped over the temple pieces and are then available to assist in the clean and efficient removal of the two components of the covering, after the components become wet and soiled. After use, the protective coverings are simply disposed of. It is contemplated that each sheet in the roll of sheets and the protective coverings will be made of a lightweight, flexibly formed plastic.
