Abstract: A protective cover for eyeglasses is provided comprising a pair of complementary tubular members that are fitted over the temples of a pair of glasses, each tubular member having sufficient material or elasticity to stretch to completely cover the lenses of the eyeglasses and a means to fit snugly around the temples. The pair of tubular members are formed as part of a single strap-like device which may be composed of a single tubular member or, alternatively, a strap having two ends, each of which are attached to the tubular member. Such embodiment allows a wearer to use the protective cover as a strap for holding the eyeglasses around his or her neck when not being worn.

Abstract: A protective cover for eyeglasses is provided comprising a pair of complementary tubular members that are fitted over the temples of a pair of glasses, each tubular member having sufficient material or elasticity to stretch to completely cover the lenses of the eyeglasses and a means to fit snugly around the temples. A fixed retaining member is attached to one end of the tubular member and a one or more strips are attached about the opposite end of the tubular member, which end is intended to be stretched over the lenses. A sliding retaining member is also provided on the tubular member and is retained thereon by means of the fixed retaining member and the strips. In operation, the tubular member is retained on the temples by twisting the tubular member about the temple, using the fixed retaining member at one end and the combination of the strips and the sliding retaining member at the other end to frictionally engage the temple and prevent the tubular member from unravelling.

Abstract: A protective cover for eyeglasses is provided comprising a pair of complementary tubular members that are fitted over the temples of a pair of glasses, each tubular member having sufficient elasticity to stretch to completely cover the lenses of the eyeglasses and contract enough to fit snugly around the temples. In an alternative embodiment, fabrics with less elasticity may be used in connection with additional features, such as shirred fabric, snaps, elastic bands, pull cords, clips, or hook and loop fasteners in combination with elastic tabs, just to name a few.

Abstract: A plurality of hexagonal puzzle pieces are formed of a pair of spaced apart hexagonal plates having a detent column extending between their respective inner surfaces. A plurality of linkages each having ring portions are received upon the detent columns of each puzzle piece to join the puzzle pieces in an elongated string. The angular positions between adjacent puzzle pieces as well as the rotational position of each puzzle piece within the string of puzzle pieces may be changed or manipulated in order to configure the puzzle pieces in a closed or solved puzzle configuration. A detent mechanism is operative between each puzzle piece and its adjacent puzzle piece to detent the relative positions thereof at selected angular relationships.

Abstract: A puzzle is provided comprising a base portion with an upper and a lower surface. A pictorial representation is provided on the upper surface of the base portion. Portions are removed from the pictorial representation at predetermined positions to create a plurality of blank portions. A track is provided through the upper surface interconnecting these blank portions. A plurality of manipulative elements are further provided which are fixedly secured within the track. Each of the manipulative elements have an upper face surface which includes an illustration corresponding to those removed portions of the pictorial representation.
