US Patent:

6343859, Feb 5, 2002

Filed:

Sep 25, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/669293

Inventors:

William McCormick - Huntington NY

Assignee:

Opti-Grip, Inc. - Huntington NY

International Classification:

G02C 514

US Classification:

351112, 351111

Abstract:

A clip is integrally formed with or attached to each temple piece of a pair of eyeglass, to hold the eyeglasses to a garment, such as a pocket of a shirt or a belt. The pocket clip member resists torsional bending stresses caused by the constant on and off insertion or removal of the eyeglasses and clip to and from shirt pockets or other attachments. The cantilevered clip is twisted and stressed when the clip holds the eyeglass frame to the shirt pocket in a strong bond. However, the clip is adapted to undergo controlled elastic deformation from an unstressed configuration in response to torsional bending and twisting stress when the clip is inserted or removed from the pocket. The clip is further adapted to resiliently return to the unstressed configuration upon removal of the torsional bending and twisting stress, when fully inserted or removed from the pocket. The clip may be molded of thermoplastic resins such as polycarbonate or polyvinylchloride in a variety of colors to match eyeglass temple pieces such as black or brown. In addition, these clips can also be finished in a metallic tone such as gold or silver through a well known process used in packaging for cosmetics.

William L. McCormick - Huntington NY

Assignee:

Opti-Grip, Inc. - Huntington NY

International Classification:

G02C 514

US Classification:

351112

Abstract:

A clip is attached to each temple piece of a pair of eyeglass, to hold the eyeglasses within a pocket of a shirt. They are molded of thermoplastic resins such as polycarbonate or polyvinylchloride in a variety of colors to match eyeglass temple pieces such as black or brown. In addition, these clips can also be finished in a metallic tone such as gold or silver through a well known process used in packaging for cosmetics. These latter clips would closely match the temple pieces of gold or silver frames.
