ABSTRACT:
A necklace assembly for holding a pair of eyeglasses includes an elongated flexible necklace for wearing about the neck of a wearer and an eyeglass-holder assembly connected between first and second ends of the necklace. The eyeglass-holder assembly includes an eyeglass-holder loop having a temple-piece-receiver loop opening for receiving a temple piece of a pair of eyeglasses and a first and a second swivel linker. Each swivel linker has a necklace-side connector and a holder-loop-side connector rotatably joined together for full rotation about a swivel axis. The holder-loop-side connectors of the first and the second swivel linker are connected to the eyeglass-holder loop at locations spaced apart from one another about the loop. The necklace assembly also includes necklace/holder-assembly couplers connecting the respective ends of the necklace with the necklace-side connectors of corresponding swivel linkers of the eyeglass-holder assembly. The necklace assembly may be worn about the neck of a wearer with a pair of eyeglasses in a folded-closed configuration removably pendulously held in the eyeglass-holder loop of the eyeglass-holder assembly with a temple piece extending downwardly from one side of the temple-piece-receiver loop opening and a lens frame of the eyeglasses extending downwardly from an opposite side of the loop opening and with twisting or kinking of the necklace induced by movement of the wearer tending to be relieved by rotation of the swivel linkers to which the ends of the necklace are connected.
