Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to and the benefit of Pakistani Provisional Application No. 114 / 2023, filed on February 22, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to the field of eyeglass cases. More specifically, the present invention relates to a multi-purpose eyeglass case device that allows a user to store eyeglasses and provides a variety of other functions. Therefore, the present disclosure specifically mentions this point. Nevertheless, it should be recognized that various aspects of the present invention are also applicable to other similar applications, devices and manufacturing methods. Background Art

[0004] Many people rely on various types of glasses in their daily activities, including reading glasses, sunglasses, prescription glasses, etc. Whether it is for vision correction, sun protection, or just as a fashion accessory, glasses are essential. When not in use, we usually store and carry glasses in a carrying case to protect them from scratches, dust, or possible damage. However, the design of existing glasses cases often fails to fully utilize the size and storage capacity of the case. This underutilization of space is inconvenient, especially for those who need to wear several pairs of glasses a day. In addition, a standard glasses case can usually only accommodate one pair of glasses, which is functionally limited for those who need to change different types of glasses. This poses challenges in terms of practicality and convenience, as users must carry multiple glasses cases or choose which pair of glasses to carry, which may result in them not having the glasses they need at a critical moment.

[0005] Therefore, there is a long-standing need in the art for an improved eyeglass case. There is also a long-standing need in the art for a multi-purpose eyeglass case device. More specifically, there is a long-standing need in the art for a multi-purpose eyeglass case device that can store multiple pairs of glasses. In addition, there is a long-standing need in the art for a multi-purpose eyeglass case device that can store multiple pairs of glasses and multiple other daily necessities. Further, there is a long-standing need in the art for a multi-purpose eyeglass case device that can store multiple pairs of glasses and other daily necessities and has additional functions other than storage.

[0006] The subject matter disclosed and claimed for protection in the present utility model includes, in one embodiment, a multi-purpose eyeglass case device. The device is used to safely store and access personal items such as glasses. The device includes two halves connected by a hinge, wherein each half includes a side wall, and the side wall forms an interior space, and the interior space contains various fasteners and storage areas. The device also includes a customizable decorative cover that can be connected to either half and can include additional functions such as a battery pack or charger. The decorative cover and the two halves can be decorated with decorative pieces and have connection points for convenient carrying. In addition, the device can include a phone receiving structure that can display the phone in different positions and can include charging functions.

[0007] In this way, the multi-purpose glasses case device of the utility model achieves all the above-mentioned purposes and provides an improved glasses case. More specifically, the device can store multiple pairs of glasses and multiple other daily necessities. Further, the device has additional functions other than storage. Utility Model Content
