WILLIAM H. WILSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

.EYEGLASS-GUARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,619, dated May 31, 1904.

Application filed October 21,1903.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. WILsON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Eyeglass-Guard, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description.

, a section of relatively stiff and tough skin,

such as ordinary leather, to the middle part of the guard, and then I fasten the chamoisskin to the leather by glue,'cement, or the like. This provides a soft and durable guard and one which is much easier on the wearer than the cork and tortoise-shell guards nowv drawings, forming a part of this specification,

in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.

Figure 1 1s a fragmentary perspective View showing my invention, and Fig. 2 is a section of the guard. 1 Y a indicates the metal section of the guard, which may of course be of any form and con- Serial No. 177,835. (No model.)

1 structiond esired, b indicates the section of leather, which is fastened by rivets. c to the metal guard 64, and cl indicates the chamoisskin covering, which is glued or otherwise suitably cemented to the leather 5. This forms a strong and yet a stiff pad, which may be worn comfortably and which is at the same time possessed of sufiicient rigidity to insure firmly holding the eyeglasses in place. If desired, the side portions of the chamois-skin d may be disposed to slightly lap the edges of the leather 6. v

In this specification and claim I use the term chamois-skin as meaning chamoisskin proper and any one of the group of soft animal-skins constituting commercial equivalents of or substitutes for chamo1ssuch, for

example, as some of the finer skins of goats while by the term leather is meant those tough and heavy animal-skins ordinarily known as leather.

Various changes in the form, proportions, and minor details of my invention may be resorted to at will without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Hence I consider myself entitled to all such variations as may lie within the intent of my claim.

.- Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination with a metal eyeglassguard,of a section of leather,a fastenlng means extending between the guard and leather to hold the leather in place, and a section of chamois-skin glued or cemented to the leather.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the-presence of two subscribing witnesses.
