  • Patent number: 6539587
    Abstract: An eyeglass holder adapted to be used with a pair of eyeglasses. The eyeglass holder includes an elongated, narrow generally V-shaped substantially rigid loop having an open central area defined by two upwardly diverging slender side portions or legs connected together at a narrow distal lower tip of the loop. An eyelet is provided connected to a top portion of the loop so that the eyeglass holder may be suspended about the neck. The open central area is of a size sufficient for a temple side piece of a pair of folded eyeglasses to be hung over and receive support between the side portions at a point just above the distal lower tip whereby the temple side piece becomes sufficiently wedged within the loop so as to enhance retention of the eyeglasses in the eyeglass holder during active body movement.
