• the present invention is directed to a thin-type glasses case for lens protection which is suitable for protecting only lenses rather than the entire glasses.
• the thin-type glasses case for lens protection according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a lower case 110, an upper case
• the lower case 110 is composed of a pair of lower glass leg half holes 111 recessed at left and right sides of an outer circumference 110a, a lower cushion protruded rim
• the upper case 120 is composed of a pair of upper glass leg half holes 121 recessed on an outer circumference 120a at positions corresponding to the lower glass leg half holes 111, an upper cushion protruded brim 124 provided on a bottom surface 120b at a predetermined thickness along the edges of the bottom surface 120b and having a cushion, an upper hinge 125 formed integrally on the rear side of the outer circumference 120a, and a nose bridge mount 120b which is a space for mounting a nose bridge 13 thereon.
• the lower glass leg half holes 111 and the upper glass bridge half holes 121 can be implemented, for example, in a D-shaped recess as shown in Fig. 6 or in a semicircular shape as shown in Fig. 7.
• the hinge shaft 135 hingeably couples the upper hinge 125 and the lower hinge
• the glass legs 11 are placed outside the glasses case through glass leg holes 101 formed by the lower glass leg half holes 111 and the upper glass leg half holes 121.
• the lower cushion protruded rim 114 and the upper cushion protruded rim 124 correspond to each other and engage with each other in order to insert and hold a lens frame 12 between the bottom surfaces 110b and 120b so that the lenses L are not contacted with the bottom surfaces 110b and 120b.
• a curved portion 110a is formed at the front center of the outer circumference 110a, and a hook 126 for hooking on the curved portion 110a is formed integrally with the outer circumference 120a at the front side of the outer circumference 120a.
• a bent portion 126a sloped and bent outward in order to easily apply a force outward is formed at an end of the hook 126.
• a lower packing 112 and an upper packing 122 are further included which are fitted and fastened to the lower glass bridge half holes 111 and the upper glass leg half holes 121 and have elasticity.
• the lower packing 112 and the upper packing 122 can be implemented, for example, in a D-shaped recess as shown in Fig. 6 or in a semicircular shape as shown in Fig. 7, like the lower glass leg half holes 111 and the upper glass leg half holes 121.
• the lower packing 112 and the upper packing 122 are further provided with a lower sealing member 113 and an upper sealing member 123, respectively, in order to prevent impurities such as dust from the outside from entering.
• Each of the lower sealing member 113 and the upper sealing member 123 is preferably implemented by using a sponge.
• a spring 137 is further included which is coupled to the hinge shaft 135 and provided at the lower hinge 115 and the upper hinge 125.

• an elastic stopper holder 150 is further included.
• the elastic stopper holder 150 is formed at one of left and right sides of the bottom surface 110b of the lower case 110 to stop and hold stationary portions 1 Ib of the glass legs 11 by an elastic force.
• the stationary portions 1 Ib of the glass legs 11 are held by an elastic force by the configuration of the elastic stopper holder 150, for example, even when the lower cushion protruded rim 114 and the upper cushion protruded rim 124 cannot be used because there is no lens frame 12 as in frameless glasses or the like and the lenses L are small, the glasses 10 can be safely stored in the glasses case without movement.
• the elastic stopper holder 150 can be implemented by using a rubber material having elasticity or soft plastic material, and provided at the bottom surface 110b of the lower case 110, for example, by an adhesive.
• the lenses L of the glasses are not contacted with any surface in the glasses case 100, so that there are no concerns about possibility of scratch.
• the glasses 10 are stably mounted in the glasses case 100 without any movement even if an external shock is applied to the glasses case 100.
• the glass legs 11 can be protected by a pair of packings 112 and 122 fastened to the glass leg holes 101, and at the same time impurities such as dust from the outside can be prevented from entering.
• the sealing members 113 and 123 implemented by a sponge are additionally attached to the packings 112 and 122, so that the glass legs 11 (especially the stationary portions 1 Ib) can be further protected and fine dust from the outside can be more completely prevented from entering into the glasses case.
• the upper case 120 is closed by the lower case 110 to thus fasten the hook 126 to the curved portion 110a in a hook fashion, thereby making fastening simple.
• the bent portion 126a of the hook 126 is automatically opened by an elastic force of the spring 137 by applying a slight external force thereto in an arrow direction.
• the elastic stopper holder 150 widens by elasticity to accept the stationary portion 1 Ib of the glass leg 11 and at the same time firmly hold the stationary portion 1 Ib of the glass leg 11 by an elastic restoration force.
• the glass 10 can be stored, being fixed firmly without any movement in the case. Of course, there is no scratch generated on the lenses L.
• the elastic stopper holder 150 can be used more usefully in case the lower cushion protruded rim 114 and the upper cushion protruded brim 124 cannot be used because there is no lens frame 12 as in, for example, frameless glasses, and the lenses L are small.
