  • Patent number: 5493349
    Abstract: The case and stand for use with eyewear having filament-type temple pieces is a rectangular bed defined by a base panel and upwardly extending rigid side panels at the opposite ends thereof. To the upper ends of the side panels leaves are pivotally supported and the tops of the leaves are notched to receive respectively the pairs of strands. The leaves are each provided with earpiece retainers on the outside faces thereof so that the filaments can train over the top of the leaves respectively and the earpieces fit in the retainers, the lenses thereby suspended below. U-shaped covers are pivoted to the outer ends of the base panel so that in one position they can form pedestals for supporting the bed to be a stand, or when the leaves are folded inward can be flipped around to be a two-piece cover for the case.
