Abstract
Abstract A device for supporting a pair of eyeglasses is provided in the form of a tube of flexible plastic. The tube has oppositely disposed wide sidewalls and substantially narrower end walls so that the inner periphery of the tube is elongated and generally rectangular. An adhesive pad is attached to one of the wide walls for adhesively securing the tube to a support surface. The device supports eyeglasses by having one of the eyeglass struts extending through the generally rectangular opening.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A holder for supporting a device comprising a tube of flexible plastic having oppositely disposed wide side walls and substantially narrower end walls so that the inner periphery of the tube is elongated and generally rectangular, said side walls being sufficiently flexible so that one side wall may be deformed into contact with the other side wall by application of finger pressure and is sufficiently resilient so as to cause the side walls to return to their original shape wherein they are generally parallel to one another, and means attached to the other wide side wall for adhesively securing the tube to a support surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
