Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The invention relates to a holding device for eyeglasses. By means of such a holding device, the eyeglasses can be attached to clothing, for example, when they are temporarily removed. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] It is common for glasses to be worn only occasionally, not continuously. This is particularly true for reading glasses or sunglasses, which are often put on and taken off several times a day.

[0003] Sometimes, people simply push their glasses upwards so that they sit on the front of their head. However, this is not a stable position for the glasses, so they can slip back down onto the nose or even fall off the wearer's head to the floor.

[0004] Alternatively, the glasses can be attached to a chain or strap worn around the neck. In this case, the glasses can be removed and will then hang from the chain or strap. This can prevent the glasses from being lost or falling to the ground. However, the glasses will then dangle in front of the wearer's chest and could be damaged by sudden movements.

[0005] Unused glasses are often stuffed into a shirt pocket by one of the temples. However, even in this case, the glasses can fall out of the pocket when bending over and be damaged in the fall.

[0006] German patent DE 92 06 579 U1 discloses a glasses holder that attaches to clothing. The glasses holder has a base with a hook on its surface. One of the temples of the glasses can be inserted into this hook to secure the glasses to the holder. The glasses holder can be made of one or two parts. PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Based on this prior art, the invention aims to provide an improved holding device for eyeglasses that is easy to use and economically viable to manufacture.

[0008] The holding device for eyeglasses according to the invention is defined by the features of main claim 1. An alternative holding device is defined by the features of dependent claim 26. Further embodiments of the invention are the subject of subsequent claims.

[0009] The eyeglass holder according to the invention comprises a fastening element and a slotted element, which are designed as separate components and can be detachably attached to one another. The fastening element allows the holder to be attached to a textile. An eyeglass temple can be inserted into the slot of the slotted element, thus temporarily fixing the eyeglasses to the holder. According to the invention, a pin is provided on the fastening element or the slotted element. Correspondingly, a recess is provided on the slotted element or the fastening element into which the pin of the fastening element or the slotted element can be inserted and rotatably locked.

[0010] This type of attachment between the fastener and the slot ensures that the slot is always horizontally aligned, even if the fastener is attached to a fabric at an angle. This can be the case, for example, when attaching it to the front pocket of trousers or to the button placket of a shirt. This allows the fastening device to be used even if the fabric lacks a selvedge that would permit horizontal attachment of the fastener itself.

[0011] In a first embodiment, the fastening element can be attached to the textile by means of a needle unit. Such a needle unit can, in particular, be a so-called safety pin, which is available in various designs.

[0012] Preferably, the fastening element can have a front plate on which the pin or recess for fastening the slotted element is integrally formed. In this case, the needle unit can be arranged on the side of the front plate opposite the pin or recess.

[0013] In a second embodiment, the fastening element can be clamped to a textile edge. Such a textile edge could be, for example, the breast pocket of a shirt or a trouser pocket.

[0014] Preferably, the fastening element can have a front plate on which the pin or recess for fastening the slotted element is integrally formed. A clamping plate can be integrally formed on the front plate, parallel to it, so that the textile edge can be positioned between the clamping plate and the front plate. The clamping plate and the front plate can have at least one constriction between them, through which the textile edge can be clamped and fixed.

[0015] Preferably, the constriction can be formed by at least one thickening in the front panel and / or the clamping plate. In this case, the at least one thickening in the front panel can be located in the area of ​​the recess for mounting the slotted element.

[0016] Generally, a single thickening in the front panel or clamping plate may suffice. However, to ensure a sufficiently secure attachment of the holding device even with thin and smooth materials, it can be advantageous to provide a total of three thickenings arranged side by side, the middle one being molded onto the front panel or clamping plate, while the two outer thickenings are located on the other two plates.

[0017] In a third embodiment, the fastening element can have a front plate on which the pin or recess for attaching the slotted element is integrally molded. Furthermore, a separate inner part can be present, wherein both the inner part and the front plate can be at least partially magnetic or magnetizable. In this way, the inner part and the front plate can be detachably attached to each other by magnetic force, thereby clamping a textile between them. This allows for a particularly gentle attachment of the fastening element, especially to delicate clothing.

[0018] Regardless of the design of the fastening element, the recess for attaching the slotted element to the fastening element can, in a first embodiment, be slot-shaped. In this case, the pin can be inserted into the slot from the opening of the slot. The slot-shaped recess can have a constriction in the area of ​​the closed end, so that the pin can be engaged in the slot-shaped recess. To facilitate the insertion of the pin into the slot-shaped recess, the slot-shaped recess can be funnel-shaped.

[0019] In a second embodiment, the recess for attaching the slotted element to the fastening element can be designed as a blind hole. In this case, the pin can be inserted into the recess. The blind hole can then have a taper in the area of ​​its opening, so that the pin must be inserted into the blind hole with a certain amount of force and can then be locked into place.

[0020] To facilitate the locking of the pin in the recess, the pin may have a thickening at its free end, in particular an arrowhead-shaped thickening or a knob-shaped thickening.

[0021] In another preferred embodiment, the fastening element can have a front plate with a circumferential projection, at least in some areas. This allows the front plate of the fastening element to act as a pin. In this case, the slotted element can have several hook elements that can be engaged by snapping them into the circumferential projection of the fastening element's front plate, distributed around its circumference. The hook elements thus form a recess in the slotted element. The hook elements can be spaced a certain distance apart from each other. Alternatively, the hook elements of the slotted element can also be designed as a continuous clip edge.

[0022] In this embodiment, two fundamentally different fastening options to a textile are possible. In a first variant, the fastening element can have a separate fastening unit by means of which the fastening element can be attached to the textile independently. This fastening unit can be, in particular, the fastening units already mentioned, for example, a needle unit, a clamping plate, or a magnet. In a second variant, the textile can be clamped directly between the fastening element and the slot element when the slot element is snapped onto the fastening element.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the slotted element can have a viewing plate facing away from the fastening element. This viewing plate can preferably completely conceal the fastening element. In this case, the viewing plate can serve as a design element. Since the slotted element is designed as a separate component, different slotted elements can be attached to the fastening element, allowing the fastening device to be easily adapted to different clothing styles and colors. The viewing plate can be provided with decorative elements and / or lettering. The viewing plate can be designed to be discreet, by matching the color of the clothing, or to be eye-catching, so that it can function as a fashion accessory. A transparent design for the viewing plate, for example by using acrylic, would also be possible in principle.

[0024] The outer contour of the visible panel can be freely chosen, allowing for different visual designs. For example, the visible panel could be round, oval, or rectangular.

[0025] Preferably, the slotted element can have a viewing plate and a back wall facing the fastening element, which are connected to each other. In this way, a slot can form between the viewing plate and the back wall into which the temple arm can be inserted. In this case, the viewing plate can be larger in area than the back wall. Preferably, the viewing plate and the back wall can form a flat opening of the slot, which can facilitate the insertion of the temple arm into the slot.

[0026] In a first embodiment, the viewing plate and the back panel can be joined together in one piece. Alternatively, the viewing plate and the back panel can be designed as separate components that must be fastened together. This can be done, for example, using several screws or a snap-fit ​​connection. Similar screws are also known for fastening spectacle frames. In this case, the viewing plate can have a side panel on each side, each oriented towards the back panel. The back panel can then be attached to the two side panels of the viewing plate using the screws. This makes it possible to manufacture the viewing plate from a different material than the rest of the holding device. At the same time, an exclusive viewing plate could be reused in a new holding device if the original one is damaged. Furthermore, the viewing plate would be replaceable.In this way, for example, visible panels could also be made from a precious metal.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the display panel can be at least partially magnetic or magnetizable. This allows additional elements to be easily attached to the display panel without significant effort. For example, the mounting device could be fitted with a nameplate. Decorative elements could also be attached to the display panel in this way.

[0028] The slot of the slot element can preferably be provided with an anti-slip coating on at least one inner side. Alternatively or additionally, the slot of the slot element can be ribbed on at least one inner side. This can prevent the temple of the glasses from accidentally slipping out of the slot, so that the glasses cannot be lost even during sudden movements.

[0029] The slot of the slotted element can be funnel-shaped. In this case, the opening of the slot is the widest, while the slot gradually narrows further along. This facilitates the insertion of the temple arm and simultaneously provides additional fixation of the temple arm within the slot.

[0030] To prevent the temple arm from accidentally slipping out of the slot in the holder when bending over, an advantageous embodiment may include a locking mechanism that secures the temple arm within the slot. This can be achieved, for example, by a locking element, particularly a round rod, positioned in the slot of the holder and movable back and forth within it. The locking element should be sufficiently heavy so that it typically falls downwards (away from the slot opening) within the slot. Conversely, if the holder is tilted, as happens when bending over, the locking element slides upwards within the slot.If the slot widens slightly towards the bottom, the upward-sliding locking element narrows the slot to such an extent that the temple of the glasses is clamped between the locking element and the inner wall of the slot. Alternatively, the locking unit could be designed as a sliding element that leaves the slot open in one position and at least partially closes it in a second position. This sliding element could create a deliberate clamping of the temple, which can be helpful, for example, during sports activities.

[0031] An alternative holding device for eyeglasses has a slotted element into which an eyeglass temple can be inserted. The slotted element has a viewing plate and a back panel arranged approximately parallel to the viewing plate, which are connected to each other so that a slot is formed between the viewing plate and the back panel. According to the invention, the back panel is at least partially magnetic or magnetizable. In this case, the slotted element can be attached to any magnetic or magnetizable surface, for example, to a refrigerator door or a magnetic board.

[0032] Preferably, a separate fastening element may be provided, which is at least partially magnetic or magnetizable, so that a textile can be positioned between the fastening element and the slot element.

[0033] Preferably, the visible panel can be larger in area than the back panel. In this case, the visible panel can also preferably completely conceal any mounting hardware. The visible panel can then serve as a design element. It can be decorated with decorative elements and / or bear lettering. The visible panel can be designed to be discreet, for example, by matching the clothing in tone, or it can be made more eye-catching, functioning as a fashion accessory. A transparent design for the visible panel, for example, using acrylic, would also be possible.

[0034] The outer contour of the visible panel can be freely chosen, allowing for different visual designs. For example, the visible panel could be round, oval, or rectangular.

[0035] Preferably, the viewing panel and the back panel can form a flat opening of the slot, which can facilitate the insertion of the temple into the slot.

[0036] In a first embodiment, the viewing plate and the back panel can be joined together in one piece. Alternatively, the viewing plate and the back panel can be designed as separate components that must be fastened together. This can be done, for example, using several screws. Such screws are also known for fastening spectacle frames. In this case, the viewing plate can have a side panel on each side, each oriented towards the back panel. The back panel can then be attached to the two side panels of the viewing plate using the screws. This makes it possible to manufacture the viewing plate from a different material than the rest of the holding device. At the same time, an exclusive viewing plate could be reused in a new holding device if the original one is damaged. Furthermore, the viewing plate would be replaceable.In this way, for example, visible panels could also be made from a precious metal.

[0037] The viewing panel and the back panel could also be attached to each other using a snap-fit ​​connection. For this purpose, the back panel can have a circumferential overhang, at least in some areas. The viewing panel can accordingly have several hook elements that can be snapped into the circumferential overhang of the back panel. In this case, the slot can be formed entirely within the back panel. Alternatively, an elongated recess can be formed in the back panel, which is at least partially covered by the viewing panel, thus creating a slot for inserting a spectacle arm. The viewing panel can accordingly have two opposing recesses that are at least partially aligned with the elongated recess in the back panel.

[0038] The hook elements of the visible plate can be designed as separate hook elements or as a surrounding clip edge.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the display panel can be at least partially magnetic or magnetizable. This allows additional elements to be easily attached to the display panel without significant effort. For example, the mounting device could be fitted with a nameplate. Decorative elements could also be attached to the display panel in this way.

[0040] The slot of the slot element can preferably be provided with an anti-slip coating on at least one inner side. Alternatively or additionally, the slot of the slot element can be ribbed on at least one inner side. This can prevent the temple of the glasses from accidentally slipping out of the slot, so that the glasses cannot be lost even during sudden movements.

[0041] The slot of the slotted element can be funnel-shaped. In this case, the opening of the slot is the widest, while the slot gradually narrows further along. This facilitates the insertion of the temple arm and simultaneously provides additional fixation of the temple arm within the slot.

[0042] To prevent the temple arm from accidentally slipping out of the slot in the holder when bending over, an advantageous embodiment may include a locking mechanism that secures the temple arm within the slot. This can be achieved, for example, by a locking element, particularly a round rod, positioned in the slot of the holder and movable back and forth within it. The locking element should be sufficiently heavy so that it typically falls downwards (away from the slot opening) within the slot. Conversely, if the holder is tilted, as happens when bending over, the locking element slides upwards within the slot.If the slot widens slightly towards the bottom, the upward-sliding locking element narrows the slot to such an extent that the temple of the glasses is clamped between the locking element and the inner wall of the slot. Alternatively, the locking unit could be designed as a sliding element that leaves the slot open in one position and at least partially closes it in a second position. This sliding element could create a deliberate clamping of the temple, which can be helpful, for example, during sports activities.

[0043] Further advantages and features of the invention can be seen in the features further specified in the claims and in the exemplary embodiments below. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

WAYS TO IMPLEMENT THE INVENTION

[0045] A first embodiment of the holding device 10 according to the invention is described in the Fig. Figures 1 to 5 are shown. The holding device 10 has a fastening element 12 and a slotted element 14, which are designed as separate components. The fastening element 12 can be clamped to a textile edge 16, as shown in Fig. Figure 1 shows the temple 18 of a pair of glasses 20 being attached to the slot element 14.

[0046] The slot element 14 (see in particular Fig. Figures 2 to 4) in the present example have a viewing plate 30 and a back wall 32, which are arranged approximately parallel to each other and are joined together on both sides by means of two side walls 34, 36 in one piece. This creates a slot 38 between the viewing plate 30 and the back wall 32, into which the temple 18 can be inserted. The back wall 32 and the viewing plate 30 thus form a flat slot opening 40.

[0047] In the present example, the visible panel 30 is significantly larger than the back panel 32. As a result, only the visible panel 30 of the mounting device 10 is typically visible. Both the fastening element 12 and the back panel 32 of the slotted element 14 are thus concealed by the visible panel 30 during normal use. The visible panel 30 could be designed to be discreet and unobtrusive, so that it—and therefore the entire mounting device 10—is hardly noticeable. This could be achieved, in particular, by matching the color of the visible panel 30 to the color of the textile edge 16. Alternatively, the visible panel 30 could also be designed to be eye-catching, so that it can serve as a fashionable accessory. This could be done, for example, by applying lettering, logos, or images to the visible panel.It would also be possible to decorate the viewing plate with decorative elements such as half-pearls, sequins, or other glitter elements. In this case, it should be ensured that glasses attached to the holder cannot be scratched by the decorative elements. This can be achieved, in particular, by embedding the decorative elements in a protective layer, for example, made of acrylic.

[0048] In this example, a pin 44 is integrally formed on the rear wall 32 of the slot element 14. At its free end, the pin 44 has an arrowhead-shaped thickening 46. In principle, other thickening shapes would also be possible, for example, a mushroom-shaped thickening, a spherical thickening, or a knob- or ring-shaped thickening.

[0049] The pin 44 can be inserted into a recess 50 of the fastening element 12 to detachably fix the slotted element 14 to the fastening element 12. The slotted element can rotate about a pivot axis 48 passing through the pin 44 while fixed to the fastening element 12. This ensures that the flat slot opening always remains in a horizontal orientation, even if the textile edge 16, to which the fastening element 12 is attached, is angled. This ensures that the glasses 20 are securely attached to the holding device 10, preventing them from accidentally slipping out of the holding device 10, even if the holding device 10 is moved – for example, when bending over or sitting down.

[0050] The recess 50 in the fastening element 12 is, in the present example, according to Fig. 1 and Fig. The slotted element 14 is designed as a blind hole. The blind hole 50 has a taper 52 in the area of ​​the opening. To attach the slotted element 14 to the fastening element 12, the thickening 46 of the pin 44 is pressed into the recess 50 so that the thickening 46 engages behind the taper of the recess 50. This allows the slotted element 14 to be securely fastened while simultaneously maintaining its rotatability about the axis of rotation 48. Furthermore, the slotted element 14 can also be released again if necessary by pulling the pin out of the recess with a certain amount of force. This allows the slotted element 14 to be interchangeable, so that the appearance of the holding device 10 can be easily varied and adapted to different situations.

[0051] In this example, the fastening element 12 has a front plate 60 and a clamping plate 62, which are arranged approximately parallel to each other and are connected in one piece via a connecting web 64. The textile edge 16 can be positioned between the front plate 60 and the clamping plate 62, and the fastening element 12 can be clamped there. For this purpose, a thickening 66 is formed on the inside of the front plate 60. In this example, the thickening 66 is arranged in the area of ​​the recess 50, so that the recess 50 projects into the thickening 66. This allows the front plate 60 to be made relatively thin overall. On the inside of the clamping plate 62, two thickenings 68 are integrally formed in this example, arranged at a certain distance from each other.The thickening 66 of the front plate 60 is positioned between the two thickenings 68 of the clamping plate 62. The thickenings 66 and 68 thus form a longer constriction 70 through which the fastening element 12 can be clamped to the textile edge 16.

[0052] An alternative embodiment of the fastening element 12.6 is described in the Fig. Figures 6 to 8 illustrate this. In this case, instead of the blind hole 50, a slot-like recess 54 is present in the front plate 60.6 of the fastening element 12.6. The pin 44.6 of the slot element 14.6 can be inserted into this slot-like recess 54 from above. At the lower end of the slot-like recess 54, there is an annular taper 56, so that the pin 44.6 can no longer accidentally slip out of the slot-like recess 54. However, even in this case, the pin 44.6 can still be removed from the recess 54 as intended with a certain amount of force.

[0053] In the present case, the pin 44.6 has a button-shaped thickening 46.6 (see Fig. 8) The slot-like recess 54 can therefore be made relatively narrow. To facilitate the insertion of the pin 44.6 into the slot-like recess 54, the slot-like recess 54 is funnel-shaped in the present example.

[0054] In this embodiment, the front panel 60 is slightly thicker than the fastening element 12 shown. Fig. 1 to 5 is the case. Furthermore, in the embodiment according to Fig. 6 Two thickenings 66 are arranged on the front plate and one thickening 68 on the clamping plate 62. This creates a comparable constriction 70.6. A comparable arrangement of the thickenings 66, 68 would also be possible in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to 5 are possible. Likewise, the arrangement of the thickenings 66, 68 could be Fig. 1 to 5 also in the embodiment according to Fig. 6 are used.

[0055] The slot element 14.6 (see Fig. 8) In the present example, the assembly is designed in two parts. The viewing panel 30.6 is formed as a single unit with the two side walls 34.6, 36.6, while the rear wall 32.6 is designed as a separate component. In this case, the rear wall 32.6 can be fastened to the side walls 34.6, 36.6 by means of several screws 72. This allows the viewing panel 30.6 to be made of a different material than the rear wall 32.6 and the remaining holding device 10, 10.6, for example, also of a precious metal.

[0056] In contrast to the illustrated embodiment, the rear wall 32.6 can also be attached to the side walls 34.6, 36.6 by means of locking lugs.

[0057] In the Fig. 9 and Fig. Figure 10 shows two alternative embodiments of slot elements 14.9, 14.10, each of which provides a locking unit for the temple of the glasses 18.

[0058] Regarding the slot element 14.9 according to Fig. In slot 38.9, a round bar 80 is provided as a locking unit. The slot 38.9 widens downwards – that is, away from the slot opening 40 – so that in the basic state of the slot element 14.9 (where the slot opening 40 is approximately horizontal and facing upwards), the round bar 80 is located at the lower end of the slot 38.9 and does not touch the inserted temple arm 18. If, however, the slot element 14.9 is tilted, as is the case, for example, when bending over, the round bar 80 rolls within the slot 38.9 towards the slot opening 40. In doing so, the round bar 80 clamps the inserted temple arm 18 between itself and the inner wall 82 of the front panel 32.9 of the slot element 14.9. The temple arm 18 is thus fixed and cannot accidentally slip out of the slot 38.9, even when bending over. So that the round rod 80 does not come out of the slot 38 at the bottom in its basic state.In the present example, where 9 can fall, there is a shoulder formation 84 on the visible plate 30.9 pointing towards the rear wall 32.9, on which the round rod 80 rests.

[0059] Regarding the slot element 14.10 according to Fig. In slot 38.10, a sliding element 86 is provided as a locking unit. The sliding element 86 is mounted in an inclined slide guide 88, so that, depending on its position in the slide guide 88, the sliding element 86 projects more or less far into slot 38.10. In this way, the temple 18 can be deliberately wedged in slot 38.10. This can be advantageous, for example, during sporting activities such as jogging or cycling.

[0060] In contrast to the embodiments shown in the drawing, the fastening element 12 could also be designed with a pin. In this case, the recess for the pin would be present on the slotted element 14.

[0061] In Fig. Figure 11 shows a third embodiment of the fastening element 12.11. In this example, the fastening element 12.11 has a front plate 60.11 with a slot-like recess 54 for attaching a slot element (not shown). A needle unit 76 is provided on the rear side 74 of the front plate 60.11. Such needle units 76 are known in various designs from the prior art. The needle unit can be inserted through a textile 22 and fixed to the rear side 74 of the front plate 60.11. This allows for attachment at any point on a garment. In particular, the fastening element 12.11 can also be attached in the center of a garment, for example, a T-shirt.

[0062] In Fig. Figure 12 shows a fourth embodiment of the fastening element 12.12. In this example, the fastening element 12.12 has a front plate 60.12 with a slot-like recess 54 for attaching a slotted element (not shown). A magnet 90 is embedded in the rear 74.12 of the front plate 60.12. Furthermore, in this example, a separate inner part 92 is present. In this example, another magnet 94 is embedded in the inner part 92. In this way, a textile 22 can be clamped between the inner part 92 and the fastening element 12.12. In this example, the inner part 92 is not completely magnetic; rather, only a magnet 94 is embedded in the inner part 92. In contrast, the inner part 92 could also be completely magnetic or made of a magnetizable material.

[0063] In Fig. Figure 13 shows a fifth embodiment of the retaining element 10.13. In this example, the retaining element 10.13 has a separate inner part 92 with an embedded magnet 94. A fastening element 12.13 is attached to the inner part 92, clamping the textile 22 between the back 74.13 of the fastening element 12.13 and the inner part. For this purpose, another magnet 90 is embedded in the back 74.13 of the fastening element 12.13. In this example, the front plate 60.13 of the fastening element 12.13 is circular and has a circumferential projection 96. The front plate 60.13 is thus designed as a pin. A slotted element 14.13 can be attached to the circumferential projection 96.

[0064] The slot element 14.13 has several hook elements, which in this example are designed as a circumferential clip edge 98. The front panel 60.13 is dome-shaped in this example. In contrast to the one in Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 13, the fastening element could also be attached to the textile using other fastening methods. For example, fastening using a needle unit is shown here. Fig. 11 or a fastening by means of a clamping plate according to Fig. 1, Fig. 5 or Fig. 6 mentioned.

[0065] In Fig. Figure 14 shows a sixth embodiment of the retaining element 10.14. The fastening element 12.14 has a circular front plate 60.14, which in this example is dome-shaped. The front plate 60.14 has a circumferential projection 96 to which the clip edge 98 of a slotted element 14.14 can be attached. In this case, the textile 22 is clamped between the dome-shaped front plate 60.14 and the rear wall 32.14 of the slotted element 14.14. To avoid damaging the textile 22, the front plate 60.14 of the fastening element is therefore dome-shaped. The rear wall 32.14 of the slotted element is adapted to the outer contour of the front plate 60.14.

[0066] An alternative holding device 110 is in Fig. Figure 15 shows the holding device 110. It has a slotted element 114 into whose slot 138 a spectacle temple 18 (not shown) can be inserted. In this example, the slotted element 114 has a viewing plate 130 and a back wall 132, which are arranged approximately parallel to each other and are integrally connected on both sides by means of two side walls 134, 136. This creates a slot 138 between the viewing plate 130 and the back wall 132, into which the spectacle temple 18 can be inserted. The back wall 132 and the viewing plate 130 form a flat slotted opening 140.

[0067] A magnet 90 is embedded in the back wall 132 of the slotted element 114. This magnet 90 allows the slotted element 114 to be positioned, for example, on a magnetizable surface 24. The surface 24 could be, for example, a refrigerator door or a magnetic board.

[0068] The slotted element 114 can also be secured by means of a separate fastening element 112 (see Fig. 16) to be attached to a textile 22. The fastening element 114 has a base body 142 in which a magnet 94 is embedded. In the present example, the fastening element 114 is not completely magnetic; rather, only a magnet 94 is embedded in the base body 142. In contrast, the fastening element 114 could also be completely magnetic or made of a magnetizable material.

[0069] In Fig. Figure 17 shows an alternative embodiment of the holding device 110.2. In the present example, the holding device 110.2 has a separate fastening element 112 according to Fig.16. In the present example, the slot element 114.2 is designed in two parts. In the rear wall 132.2 of the slot element 114.2, a magnet 90 is embedded, so that a textile 22 can be clamped between the fastening element 112 and the rear wall 132.2.

[0070] The back panel 132.2 has a circumferential overhang 196 to which the clip edge 198 of the viewing panel 130.2 can be attached. In the present example, an elongated recess 150 is formed on the side of the back panel 132.2 facing the viewing panel 130.2, which is partially covered by the viewing panel 130.2. In this way, a slot 138.2 is formed between the viewing panel 130.2 and the back panel 132.2, into which a spectacle arm can be inserted.

[0071] The visible panel 130, 130.2 of the slot element 114, 114.2 could be designed to be discreet and unobtrusive, so that it is hardly noticeable. This could be achieved in particular by matching the color of the visible panel 130, 130.2 to the color of the textile edge 16, the textiles 22, or the surface 24.

[0072] Alternatively, the viewing plate 130, 130.2 could also be designed to be eye-catching, so that it can serve as a fashionable accessory. This could be achieved, for example, by applying lettering, logos, or images to the viewing plate 130, 130.2. It would also be possible to decorate the viewing plate 130, 130.2 with decorative elements such as half-pearls, sequins, or other glitter elements. In this case, it should be ensured that glasses attached to the holder cannot be scratched by the decorative elements. This can be achieved, in particular, by embedding the decorative elements in a protective layer, such as acrylic. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
