Abstract

An eyeglass holder apparatus includes an attachment mechanism, a plate, and a tensioning member. The attachment mechanism is removably coupled to a structure, such as a vehicle window or a vehicle frame. The adjustable attachment mechanism is integrated with a ball joint and optionally a clamping or suction mechanism for stability. The flat plate is a rectangular structure having a front surface and a rear surface, and includes a plurality of notches along its second side and a central notch having a tongue. The tensioning member extends between the notches and behind the tabs to secure the eyeglass by tensionally retaining the temple between the plate and the tensioning element. The plate is composed of plexiglas and is fastened to the attachment mechanism using screws, rivets or adhesive.

Description

Glasses support device Technical Field The present invention relates generally to an eyeglass holder apparatus. More particularly, the present invention is an eyeglass frame apparatus that holds eyeglasses using tension and suction. Background Glasses generally include lenses disposed within a frame having temples (temples). Glasses are delicate objects that need to be handled and stored carefully to prevent damage. The temples, also known as arms, extend over the ears to secure the glasses to the wearer's face, and are particularly prone to compression and damage if not properly stored. In the prior art, several methods and devices have been proposed to store eyeglasses in order to reduce the risk of damage and to put them in an easily accessible state. The traditional storage scheme comprises a mirror box, a mirror table and a hanging frame. Although the lens cases can protect the lenses well, they are less accessible because the case must be opened and the lenses removed, which can cause inconvenience, especially for those who frequently switch between donning and doffing the lenses. On the other hand, the stage and the rack make the glasses easier to access, but generally provide less protection, especially in environments where there is a risk that the glasses are easily knocked off. Furthermore, prior art solutions such as magnetic brackets and snap-based systems also exist. Magnetic stents often lack versatility in mounting to a variety of surfaces, and their magnetic fields can potentially interfere with electronic devices. The clip-based system applies excessive pressure to the temple, which can lead to compression and potential deformation of the glasses over time. Disclosure of Invention The aim of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing an eyeglass frame device that is both stable and does not harm the eyeglasses. The device is designed to provide an improved method of holding eyeglasses that protects the eyeglasses from being knocked down, does not exert detrimental pressure on more sensitive parts (e.g., the temples), and in turn is capable of attachment to various surfaces, allowing greater versatility in use. The inventive eyeglass holder apparatus of the present invention comprises a suction cup, an arm, and a flat plate. The suction cups allow the device to be mounted on a variety of smooth surfaces, such as glass, mirrors and metal, with flexible and versatile placement positions. This feature is particularly advantageous in environments where space is limited or where conventional stages and boxes are impractical. The suction cup further provides a glasses holder for the user to use in a variety of activities, including boats, UTV, golf carts, and other vehicles. The arm serves as a link between the suction cup and the flat plate to position the flat plate at a height and angle that facilitates placement or access of the glasses by a user. This design consideration ensures that the glasses are held securely, yet still easily accessible. A key feature of the present invention is the tension member, typically an elastic band, which extends across the front surface of the plate. The tensioning member is configured to hold the eyeglasses by tensionally securing the temple bars against the flat plate. Such an arrangement avoids direct contact pressure on the temples, which are typically snaps and clamps, thereby minimizing the risk of damage. The resilient nature of the tension members allows them to accommodate a wide variety of temple sizes and thicknesses, further enhancing the protective function of the device without sacrificing convenience. In summary, the present invention provides a significant improvement over the prior art by providing a robust, tamper-proof, and versatile storage solution for eyeglasses. The design of the present invention solves the common problems associated with the storage and handling of eyeglasses, making the present invention a valuable accessory for eyeglass wearers. The novel design not only improves the durability of the glasses, but also provides more convenient and accessible user experience. Drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention.
