Abstract

A case is molded of light-weight, thin-walled plastic in two hollow parts which when assembled, receives eyeglasses and sunglasses of many different designs and sizes. The case is slightly concave on one broad side surface and convex on the other. The upper edge of the lower part slants downwardly from one end, as does the upper edge of the upper port or lid. The two parts are hinged together at the higher end walls. A toggle-type latch is provided at the lower end walls. A gasket in the meeting edges is compressed when the clasp is engaged to close the case in a water-tight manner. There is sufficient volume within the case so that it will float. A projection on the top is apertured for a chain, thong, string or the like so that the case may be worn hanging from the neck. The concave-convex shapes of the sides accommodates eyeglasses without making the case unnecessarily thin. Such shape likewise makes wearing the case in a hip or shirt pocket comfortable.
