ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose eyeglass retainer is provided which is capable of connecting to a temple of an eyeglass frame in multiple fashions. The retainer includes an elongated, flexible cord. A slipknot is formed on both of the free ends of the flexible cord. The retainer is connectable to eyeglass temples by slidably receiving the respective slipknots. The retainer is also capable of connecting to the free ends of the temples in a "sport-style" attachment using the same elongated, flexible cord. An adapter includes a hook member on one end and a post member on the other end. The slipknot of the elongated, flexible cord is removably connected to the hook member. A rubber tube member receives the free end of a temple end. The tube is removably connected to the post member. The elongated, flexible cord is adapted to connect to the free ends of the temples. The adapter and tube may be provided alone without the retainer cord for retrofitting to existing retainer cords that have a slipknot on a free end.
