Abstract
An eyeglass display hanger permits the eyeglasses to be tried on in the normal wearing position while the hanger is still attached thereto. The eyeglass display hanger consists of a planar body which is divided into front and rear body portions by a crease line. The body further includes a slot on the crease line. The front body portion includes a first aperture which is adapted for being received over a cantilever display bar and a second aperture which is adapted for receiving the temple bar of a pair of the eyeglasses. For assembly of the hanger with a pair of eyeglasses, the front and rear body portions are folded over onto each other and the temple bar of the eyeglasses is inserted downwardly through the aperture in the front body portion and through the slot in the crease line so that the temple bar is received between the front and rear body portions. The front and rear body portions are then secured together, preferably by a self-sticking adhesive or by staples. When the temple bar is pivoted outwardly, the hanger swings outwardly with the temple bar so as not to obstruct the line of vision of the person trying the eyeglasses on.
