  • Patent number: 5568872
    Abstract: An eyeglass holder for convenience placement of eyeglasses has a pair of vertically spaced horizontal arms on a vertical support piece that can have a lower base or one or more upper hooks. The upper and lower horizontal arms are vertically offset less than the spacing between the eyeglass earpiece hinges. The upper arm is dimensioned to fit between the upper-hinged earpiece and the lens frame when that earpiece is folded against the lens frame. The lower arm forms an abutment that keeps the lower-hinged earpiece closed in a manner that does not interfere with placing or removing the eyeglasses from the holder. An upward-opening notch on the upper horizontal arm and an aligned forward-opening notch on the lower arm, prevent lateral displacement of the eyeglasses. The holder can be arranged to stand on a table or the like, or to hang, for example, from the rear-view mirror of an automobile.
