Abstract: A hanger system for holding glasses and a case includes a hanger made from a thin web. A flexible strip is connected to the main body of the web at a hinge point where the strip flexes away from the body. The strip is connected to an arm of the glasses with a fastener, such as a tie wrap. A portion of the body slidably engages the case, wherein the body is located substantially inside the case and the flexible strip is flexed away from the body at the hinge point and located outside the case. An upper edge of the case is located at the hinge point such that the body is inside and the strip is outside the case. The pair of arms opens to accommodate a user trying on the glasses with the case attached.

Abstract: A panel assembly for providing underdeck water drainage and for other applications such as wall panels and skirting for exposed areas under building. The panel assembly, for an underdeck water drainage system, includes a plurality of joist brackets that are mounted transversely to and under the joists of a deck, a plurality of drainage panels, a plurality of drainage panel brackets, and a plurality of joist bracket spacers. The drainage panels may be slidingly engaged or snapped into separate panel brackets or into panel bracket portions of adjacent drainage panels. When properly installed, the underdeck drainage system will protect an area of interest, such as a patio or storage area under a deck, from rain water and keep the area dry. Another application of the present invention is to provide a shield, skirt, or cover for an exposed area under a deck, a home, a mobile home, a wall, or other place of interest.

Abstract: A hanger for a case holding a pair of glasses is provided which includes a web of flexible material having an elongate main body portion having an upper end and a lower end, a pair of tabs extending from the lower end of the main body portion adapted to encircle the case, and an aperture adjacent to the upper end of the main body portion adapted to receive a support for hanging the hanger holding the case.

The consumer can then look through the lenses of the reading glasses, to test them for proper magnification.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for creating expanded and non-expanded regions on a sheet of sheet metal. The apparatus includes a programmable controller, a sheet metal feeder for incrementally advancing the sheet metal, and a cutter/expander for generating rows of expanded metal apertures. The controller selectively controls both the amount of incremental advance provided to the sheet metal by the feeder and the timing and location of the cutting and expanding provided by the cutter/expander; the combination of which creates such regions.

Abstract: A tray adapted to support eyeglasses comprising a flat base, a lip projecting upwardly at the front of the base and a flange projecting upwardly at the rear of the base. The lip and flange are angled outwardly from the base. A vertically-extending bar is positioned in the middle of the base and extends from the rear flange to the front lip. The bottom of the bar is horizontal and is secured to the base. The ends of the bar project at the same angles as the lip and flange. A plurality of spaced trays can be secured to a rack, for holding eyeglasses for display and vending. The base of the tray projects at an acute angle relative to the wall of the rack on which it is mounted. Eyeglasses placed on the tray will automatically slide to the rear of the tray, under the force of gravity caused by the angle of inclination of the tray.
