Embodiment Construction

[0019] This invention is comprised of two basic parts; the previously mentioned backing and anti-slip surface. The backing can be made from a variety of materials including but not limited to metal, paper, cardboard, wood etc. Its shape is not critical either. It must simply fit in the pocket with enough surface area to contact the glasses (or other object), and be thin enough to not interfere with the use of the pocket. The anti-slip backing can also be made from a variety of materials such as, but not limited to rubber or plastic. It can be on one or both sides of the backing. It can be smooth or have a variety of textures. This invention can also be manufactured from a anti-slip material that is stiff enough that it does not require a separate backing, but instead the backing would be integral part of the anti-slip material.

Abstract

This present invention provides for a device that conveniently slips into a pocket and keeps items such as glasses from slipping out when the wearer bends over. Unlike the previous inventions, it requires very little dexterity to use, does not interfere with clothing, and does not have to be visible to others. Compared to other inventions attempting to achieve similar results, this one can be manufactured at a very low cost and varying shapes and styles.

When the wearer bends over for any reason, (such as tying a shoe or picking something up), the glasses fall, either to the floor, the toilet or some other inconvenient place. [0005] Several devices have been developed to resolve the problem. Among them are; clips that co...
