| Abstract: |
A line adjusting and locking device is disclosed for adjusting and locking individual suspension lines of an eyeglass mounting assembly of the type which, instead of temple pieces, has a pair of flexible suspension lines attaching ear pieces of the glasses to the respective lenses. The adjusting and locking device includes a slotted member attached to each earpiece wherein a slot accommodates one pair of the suspension lines. After lengthwise adjustment of the individual lines, the lines are wrapped around the slotted member, preferably in a plurality of revolutions, and a locking cap member is press-fitted on the lines and the slotted member to lock the adjusting device.
