Abstract: This invention relates to a eyeglass case and visor with a novel method of attachment to the limbs of a pair of eyeglasses, so that the eyeglasses are firmly connected to the visor at the forehead of the wearer of the eyeglasses, in an attitude which keeps it from drooping into the vision range of the user. More particularly, the visor is formed of two plies of material, the top ply is crescent shaped and the bottom ply is crescent shaped with the corners removed to allow for a wide opening pocket and proper placement of attachment bands on the bottom of the top ply of material. The top and bottom plies of material are connected together along the convex edges of the top and bottom plies of material, but are left substantially unconnected along the other edges except for a fastening means, thereby forming a wide opening pocket in which the eyeglasses can be placed without removal of the eyeglass limbs from the visor attachment bands.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding articles such as eyeglasses. This device includes a wire frame that contains three functional sections. The first section is a paper holding section, the second section is a snap on section for a visor and the third section is a clip on section for clipping eyeglasses onto the frame. The three functional sections of this device each contain a set of compression points, wherein all of these compression points are narrowed regions formed by two opposing inside faces of the wire frame or clip. The first set of compression points are disposed on an inside region of the first functional section. The second set of compression points are disposed on the second functional section. The wire frames are bent together so that informational papers can be slid therein. Because the device contains these compression points, this device can lock onto both the item that this device is secured to, and the article that secures to the device.

Abstract: A large eyeglass hanger is provided that mounts eyeglasses so that they do not project beyond the outer edges of a holder assembly for the glasses to avoid having adjacent hung glasses on a display engage each other with the potential for damage this creates. The large hanger also enables use of a correspondingly large indicia receiving member of the holder assembly for receiving printed matter, such as an eyechart and operating instructions that may be provided for specialized eyeglasses that can be displayed. Despite the large size of the hanger, the holder has an arm securing portion that, in one form, has only one of the temple arms of conventionally operated eyeglasses secured thereto to allow for sampling and in a manner that the potential purchasers get a clear view of their front facial area as the still attached hanger extends along the side of their head.

Abstract: A display packaging assembly for swim masks and goggles which have corrective lenses. In a first preferred embodiment for a mask and a second preferred embodiment for a pair of goggles, the product is contained in a transparent plastic shell and is located on a mannequin face or face portion in a configuration which simulates how the product would be worn by a swimmer. The opposing surfaces of the shell and the simulated eye portions of the mannequin are open at the lenses of the product. These openings permit a prospective purchaser to look through the corrective lenses without opening the package and without removing the product. Because the mannequin face or face portion is curved to provide a generally concave surface, the prospective purchaser may place the lenses of the mask or goggles in close proximity to his or her eyes without necessarily touching the package to the face and without touching any portion of the product itself.
