Speccaton of Letters Patent.

Patented March 27, 1906.

Application filed April 29, 1905. Serial No. 258,067.

T0 all 10710711/ it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY C. FosBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Falconer, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eyeglass-Cleaners, of which the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to a device for cleaning the lenses of spectacles and eyeglasses; and it consists, essentially, of a spring-clip the arms of which are provided with pads which serve as cleaning-surfaces.

The object of this invention is to produce a device of this character which can be conveniently carried upon the person and which will at the same time be simple and durable in construction.

For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction of the means for effecting the result reference is to be had to the following description and ac companying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side view showing the device applied. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the upper member with parts separated.

Corresponding and like parts. are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by thesame reference characters.

The numeral l indicates a spring-clip ables the operator to obtain a firm grip upon the device when using it. Padding 6 of any suitable-nature is placed in said cups and held in position by a piece of chamois 7, which is provided with a series of holes 8 in its edge, through which a draw-string 9 is passed. When in position, the draw-string is pulled into engagement with the annular groove 5 and tied or fastened in any suitable manner. In operation the device is slipped over the lenses and manipulated thereon by means of the thumb and forefinger, which are placed in the checkered depressions 4 of the cu s.

. The particular points to which I wish to call attention are the ease and rapidity with which the cleaning-surfaces may be removed and replaced, the depressions in the base of the cups, which are a great aid in handling, and the construction of the various parts, which enable the device to be cheaply and economically manufactured.

Having thus described the invention, vwhat is claimed as new, and desired to -be secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a device for cleaning lenses and similar articles, the combination of a spring-clip having substantially parallel arms, oppo sitely-arranged cups on the arms, each cup having an opening in one side through which the arms pass, padding placed in the cups, and a sheet of cleaning material secured over the padding. l 1

2. In a device for cleaning lenses and similar articles, the combination of a spring-clip having substantially parallel arms, oppositely-arranged cups on the arms, each having a peripheral groove and an opening in one lside through which the arm passes, padding placed in the cups, and a sheet of cleaning material over the padding having its edges secured in the groove.

In testimony whereof-I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY C. FOSBERG.
