ABSTRACT:
An eyeglasses holder including an elongated flat plate having upper and lower ends, front and back sides, and a slot adjacent to its lower end extending therethrough from the front side to the back side and including legs joined by a bight and with the legs defining a post therebetween and terminating in a pair of holes closely adjacent to the lower end of the plate. A hanger is attached to the back side of the plate at the upper end thereof for hanging the plate in a pendent position on the pocket of an article of clothing, on the dashboard or interior of a vehicle, on a piece of furniture, or on another convenient support. A flexible O-ring of resiliently flexible material is releasably extended through the bight and thence slidable along the legs into the holes where it is wrapped around the post. The diameter of the ring is greater than the distance between the holes whereby the ring has a short arcuate segment engaging the post and a long arcuate or elliptical segment projecting outwardly from the post from the front side of the plate. The long segment is thus held outwardly from the plate in a position to receive the temple of a pair of glasses but is resiliently bendable downwardly under the weight of a pair of glasses when the temple thereof is inserted into the long segment. The O-ring thereby provides a soft, dependable support for the glasses.
