  • Patent number: 5650836
    Abstract: A hanger for a display of eyeglasses including a central portion and a pair of opposite arms extending down toward the temples of the eyeglasses. A respective temple panel at each arm of the hanger and connected therewith by a hinge permitting the panel to swing with reference to each arm. The panel has a plurality of openings therethrough through which a respective eyeglass temple is threaded, such that the temple panels pivot around the hanger hinges along with the pivoting temples and pivot with respect to the arms of the hanger, while the support panels are out of the planes of the respective arms of the hanger. In one embodiment, the entirety of each arm is the same plane as the central portion.

  • Patent number: 5249675
    Abstract: Packaging for an eyewear article having a pair of lenses with diopter power is disclosed, which preferably includes an enclosure portion for substantially enclosing the eyewear article for eventual sale and a tag portion affixed to the enclosure portion. A lens is preferably included with the tag portion, which is in addition to the pair of lenses of the eyewear article, which is accessible to a prospective consumer without requiring the prospective consumer to open the enclosure portion of the packaging for retrieval of the eyewear article contained therein. The lens provided with the tag portion, being in addition to the lenses of the eyewear, has an optic power which is substantially equal to the diopter power of the pair of lenses of the eyewear article so that the prospective consumer may readily judge the diopter power of the eyewear article.

  • Patent number: 4541534
    Abstract: A display rack for sunglasses includes a series of individual compartments oriented in the vertical plane and arranged in a stacked array. The display rack includes a plurality of vertical wall members with at least three central members oriented to form a "Z" like cross sectional configuration. At each compartment location, there are secured to the vertical wall members first and second planar members with each planar member having a first triangular shaped arm extending from a common base and separated from a second arm by a triangular cutout. The cutouts of each planar member are inserted into respective sides of said "Z" configuration to form first and second shelves at said compartment location with each shelf capable of accommodating a pair of glasses.
