Abstract:
An eyeglass retainer having a clip for attaching the eyeglass retainer to an article, such as a shirt collar, is provided. An emblem is affixed to and substantially covers the clip when the eyeglass retainer is attached to the article. Furthermore, an elastic loop is coupled to the clip and extends away from the emblem and selectively receives an eyeglass temple bar therein. The clip further includes a pair of spring biased jaws having interconnecting teeth and an extension flange for substantially permanently retaining the elastic loop therein. The emblem is adhesively, thermally or mechanically affixed to the clip and may comprise an American flag, a playing card, a representation of a hand or the like.
