1. A foldable case for spectacles having a specified height comprising:
a sheet of foldable material divided into four panels, each panel separated by a pivoting hinge, said panels including;
two substantially rectangular panels;two substantially half circle panels; wherein said half circle panels are separated by a first said rectangular panel and may be folded along said pivoting hinges into a spaced apart, substantially parallel position separated by a width of said first rectangular panel to form a top and bottom of a case with said first rectangular panel forming a rear wall of said case; wherein one of said half circle panels is joined to a said second rectangular panel centered in a middle third of a length of said second rectangular panel, such that when said two substantially half circle panels are substantially parallel, the second rectangular panel may be bent to form a curving front face of said case; said second rectangular panel having end tabs centered on the width of said second rectangular panel that fit into receiving slots on opposing ends of said first rectangular panel, allowing a bent form to be retained; said second rectangular panel having a centered closing tab that fits into a receiving slot on another of said half circle panels that abuts said second rectangular panel in a folded configuration, allowing said case to be held closed; and a pair of foldable end tabs on said first rectangular panel, said end tabs having fasteners that in a folded configuration fasten onto complementary fasteners on said second rectangular panel. |
