ABSTRACT:
One end of each of two stretchable and tensionable elastomeric hoses, preferably brightly-colored neoprene surgical hoses, slips over and compressively grasps an associated temple piece of an eyeglass frame. Each hose slips through, and is squeezed by, an axial bore within one leg of a one of two "L" shaped fittings. The fittings are typically made of molded plastic. The remaining end of each hose fits over a cylindrical protuberance, located on the leg of the "L" opposite to the bore, of the other fitting than that fitting through which it passes the bore. Accordingly, in a first, eyeglass holder, configuration each fitting compressively affixes to one end of one hose while it simultaneously slips and slides under frictional force through its bore the length of the other hose. By a variably adjustable amount of overlap between the two hoses an eyeglass holder of variable length and tension is realized. In a second, bracelet, configuration each of the two fittings slides through its bore the length of the same hose. The two ends of this hose are compressively affixed to the protuberances of the two fittings, forming a loop. By a variably adjustable amount of overlap of the single hose between the fittings, a closed loop of variable length and tension suitable to engage a human appendage as in a bracelet is formed.
