ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the invention, there is provided an eyeglass temple piece protector that is prepared with a first elongate strip of plastic material superposed on a second elongate strip of plastic material to form a hollow sleeve. The sleeve has a front side, a back side, a closed end, and an open end. The sleeve is further adapted to receive a temple piece of a pair of eyeglasses from the open end to the closed end. The front side of the sleeve extends beyond the backside of the sleeve to form a flange at the open end. Also provided in accordance with the invention is a method to manufacture an eyeglass temple protector. In the method a first and second sheet of plastic material, each sheet having a length, a width, and an edge are provided. The first sheet is superposed on the second sheet such that the edge of the first sheet is parallel to, but not flush with, the edge of the second sheet, so that a flange is formed in the second sheet. The first sheet is sealed to the second sheet across the respective widths at regular intervals along the respective lengths to form a plurality of seals defining hollow sleeves having an open end at the flange that are separable along a parallel line proximate and adjacent to the seals. A closed end is formed in the sleeves at an end opposite the open end.
