  • Patent number: 5052550
    Abstract: The spectacle case (20) is of the open-mouth type. The case includes an inner lining (25) of thin cotton, which is stitched top (30) and bottom (36) into a stiff outer cover (23). The stitching is so arranged as to leave the central portion of the lining loose and able to expand and move laterally, within the outer cover. An encircling elastic band (27) creates a pinched waist (40) in the lining. The elastic band tightens the lining around the nose cut-out (43) of spectacles (40) inserted into the case, thereby retaining the spectacles securely.
