Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
The combination of a pair of eyeglasses and a protective cover comprising a pair of eyeglasses defined by a frame front, lenses, bridge, nose pads and temples; a protective cover comprising a generally tubular member having axially opposite open ends, said tubular member being constructed from generally resilient material, said tubular member in a first operative condition of said combination snugly housing therein at least said frame front, lenses, bridge and nose pads, an elongated retainer having opposite ends secured one to each of said temples, and said tubular member in a second operative condition of said combination being in external sliding telescopic relationship to said frame front, temples and elongated retainer whereby said tubular member can be slipped to and from said front frame and to and from said elongated retainer generally along said temples.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
The combination of a pair of eyeglasses and a protective cover comprising a pair of eyeglasses defined by a frame front, lenses, bridge, nose pads and temples; a protective cover comprising a generally tubular member having axially opposite open ends, said tubular member being constructed from generally resilient material, said tubular member in a first operative condition of said combination snugly housing therein at least said frame front, lenses, bridge and nose pads, an elongated retainer having opposite ends secured one to each of said temples, and said tubular member in a second operative condition of said combination being in external sliding telescopic relationship to said frame front, temples and elongated retainer whereby said tubular member can be slipped to and from said front frame and to and from said elongated retainer generally along said temples.

The combination as defined in claim 1 wherein said tubular member material is directionally resilient.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
The combination as defined in claim 1 including means contiguous at least one of said tubular member ends for facilitating the application of manual forces to said tubular member to telescopically apply the same upon and remove the same from an associated pair of eyeglasses.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
66 words
The combination as defined in claim 1 including means contiguous at least one of said tubular member ends for facilitating the application of manual forces to said tubular member to telescopically apply the same upon and remove the same from an associated pair of eyeglasses, and said force applying means is a grasping tab carried by and projecting from said tubular member at least one end.
