Patent number: 8556248Abstract: Lens holders are disclosed that clasp the lens using rubberized paddles to reduce scratching and which include legs that are shaped to enable visual inspection of a lens without removal of the lens from the lens holder. One embodiment includes a lens holder body including a clip and a leg, and a spring fixed to the lens holder body. In addition, the leg includes a ledge, the spring includes two flexible arms terminating in paddles, the paddles are configured to clasp a lens resting on the ledge, at least the portion of each of the paddles that contact a lens clasped by the paddles is constructed from a resilient non-abrasive material, and the leg is formed so that a lens clasped by the springs and resting on the leg can be visually inspected without removing the lens from the lens holder.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: I-Coat Company, LLCInventors: Phillip Velasquez, Hamlet Joe Avetisian, Sr., Joey Dee Ochoa, Timothy George Stephan, Arman Bernardi
