US Patent 7201479 Protective sleeve for eyeglasses

A protective cover for eyeglasses is provided comprising a pair of complementary tubular members that are fitted over the temples of a pair of glasses, each tubular member having sufficient material or elasticity to stretch to completely cover the lenses of the eyeglasses and a means to fit snugly around the temples. The pair of tubular members are formed as part of a single strap-like device which may be composed of a single tubular member or, alternatively, a strap having two ends, each of which are attached to the tubular member. Such embodiment allows a wearer to use the protective cover as a strap for holding the eyeglasses around his or her neck when not being worn.
