3 claims: 3 independent, 0 dependent

  1. 1
    I claim:— , . .__. 1. A spectacle case clasp comprising a single . strand of wire bent intermediate its length to de- fine a loop, leg portions of the wire being bent to 2 5 form respective eyelets, the eyelets having a reach portion contacting the leg members, the reach members being bent at right angles and terminating in inwardly directed spurs whereby to secure the clasp on a case. 30
  2. 2
    A spectacle case clasp comprising a single strand of wire bent intermediate its length to define an elongated loop, said loop having an arcuate curvation throughout the major portion of its length and reversely curved adjacent the 35 bight portion of the loop, the leg portions of the loop being bent to define respective eyelets, the eyelets having a reach portion contacting respective leg members, the reach portions having a curvature corresponding to the loop, each of said 40 reach portions being bent at right angles defining oppositely extended arms, and each of said arms terminating in an inwardly directed spur member, whereby to secure the clasp upon a case. _ .
  3. 3
    A spectacle case clasp comprising a single 4 strand of wire bent intermediate its length to define a loop, leg portions of the wire being bent to form respective eyelets, the eyelets having a reach portion contacting the leg members, the reach members being bent at right angles and terminating in means for attachment to the case. OTTO A. ROTH. 3 Claims. I This invention relates to a clasp for spectacle cases and the like, and it consists in the constructions, arrangements and combinations herein a scribed and claimed. . « Specifically, the invention relates to a clasp which may be readily attached to the case having means cooperative with a wall of the case for frictionally binding upon the material of a garment for retaining the case against accidental 10 loss It is an object of the invention to provide a clasp which is made from a single strand of wire, . bent in such manner as to define a three pom clasp, whereby to accommodate thin and thick 15 “i^is^dso an object of the invention to provide a clasp which may be readily attached to a case, and which will in nowise interfere with the opening and closing of the lid of the case. Additional objects, advantages and features oi invention wifi be apparent from the fpUowmg description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing wherein , Figure 1 is an elevational view of a spectacle case having my clasp installed. Figure 2 is a side edge view thereoi. Figure 3 is a top edge view, Figure 4 is a perspective view of the clasp de- There is illustrated a clasp generally indicated at 10, formed from a single strand of spring wire. As may be clearly seen from Figures 1 and 4, the wire is bent intermediate its length to define an elongated loop portion II, and at suitable points 35 inwardly of the bight portion 12, the wire is out' wardly and downwardly bent to define respective eyelets 13 and finally bent at right angles to form arms 14, the terminations of which are given a slight curvature in a direction toward each other 40 and sharpened to form prongs 15. It will be noted that the elongated loop 11 is bowed or curved outwardly, as may be seen in Figure 2 for a substantial distance of its and at a point adjacent the bight portion 12 the 45 loop is given a slight outward or reverse bend, as at 16. It should be noted that respective reaches 13' of the eyelet 13 contact respective legs of the loop 11 at the points of bend 17, and therefore the legs 13' have a curvature similar to the 50 loop 11, thereby forming gripping means as will be more fully explained hereinafter.^ In use, the clasp 10 is applied to the rear flat
