Score from 75 reviews Very good
Staff was great. breakfast was great.
room was either too hot or too cold. The unit was noisy when it turned on and could have been a little quieter.
The staff was very professional and helped us in all our traveling needs. Helped in our dinning choices as well as directions to destination attractions.
Bed was too firm
Everything, especially breakfast
Over $200 for the room, and many miles from Portsmouth, our destination.
Staff was very friendly. Great location; close to the highway and about a 12 minute walk to historic Exeter. Overall clean hotel.
Double beds in room. I thought for sure they would be queens, but not so much. Make sure to ask for a queen or a king room. My bathroom floor was very sticky and my 2 of my towels had long black hair on them.
Location Quality of Wifi Staff
Perfect location for the beach. Great price for a clean hotel, offering free breakfast, with access just minutes away from Hampton Beach. Not the normal sandy beach hotel on the strip. Clean room, comfortable beds. Very happy...will be back!
No complaints, I was happy!
Noise from the airconditioner.
The staff is incredible !!!
Well kept and decorated, breakfast was average. desk was efficient and helpful
AC was difficult to control. Very cold when we arrived turned it up and the heat went on. We finally just turned it off.
Small hotel with easy parking. The staff was very pleasant and professional.
The room had a slight mildew smell. The air conditioner didn't go on between midnight and seven AM thus making the room a bit uncomfortable.
Very friendly staff. Inviting lobby. Rooms were very clean, comfortable and roomy.
No cons
Loved the decor. The breakfast was good. The room was clean and had all the amenities I needed. I appreciated the earlier check in time.
The iron was a piece of junk. (As I have found at most hotels).
Location is perfect - a short drive to the beach, ME and MA. The staff were professional, helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet is great and I like it because I don't have to go out and try to find a good place to eat. I like the noon checkout time; it gave me time to relax and do some swimming. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cleanliness of the room was beyond reproach. This was my second visit to the Fairfield Inn and was it was just as impressive as the first time. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to our next visit.
Some younger kids were running in the hallways and stairwells until about 10 or 11 pm. My bad, I didn't call the front desk to tell them about this annoyance
Convenience, pleasant staff, ease of access.
Climate control in the room was difficult. It was too cold or too much fan or too noisy.
Everything. It was extremely clean an excellent value for the money. The rooms were exceptionally bright which immediately shows pride in their cleanliness and appearance. So many hotels are so dimely lit it's difficult to read and obviously hides any flaws. We will definately stay here again.
I liked the availability of 2 types of internet connection (LAN or WIFI). Also, the bed was very comfortable (king size) and the bathroom was larger than other hotels I've been to with comparable pricing. The room was very clean and clearly the staff is dedicated to ensure the customers' needs are met.
The hotel provided bathroom toiletries as most do, but the amount of soap was limited. There should always be a bar of soap for the sink and for the shower as well; however, we were provided with just one bar. I do not feel as though this is something the patron should have to ask inquire about. Also, the pool closes at 10 and for younger people that don't need adult supervision, that is lame.
Everything was very nice from the room to the staff to the generous breakfast. I would stay here again, except I have bought an apartment in Exeter. I will suggest to visitors that they stay here!
There was nothing to dislike!
very clean
Multiple desk people didn't know about what was charged for phone use and had wrong info about credit card use. Don't like charging system where client feels nickeled and dimed for every little thing-like two beds.
Staff pleasant. Spotless. Bright decor. Good location and a very good breakfast.
the location was what we were looking for. We were there one night to attend a marathon. The staff were especially good. They were professional and very helpful. I would absolutely recommend it and would not hesitate to return

The government should clarify
taxation rules regarding payments made for acquiring spectrum
while working to resolve the issue of 3G spectrum allocation,
according to financial consultancy firm PwC.
Bharti Airtel, India`s top mobile phone operator, said it is confident the country will proceed on schedule with 3G spectrum auctions in January, with high hopes for the technology in the competitive market.
Foreign telecom companies on Monday stayed away from a meeting to discuss the blueprint for 3G (third generation) mobile spectrum auction.
BSNL has favoured a no-cap policy on the number of players in a service area but said if spectrum and licences are bundled together, as is the current practice, then there should be minimum 5 players to ensure fair competition.
Countering allegations levelled by Telecom Minister A Raja that the BJP-led NDA government was involved in the "biggest ever spectrum allocation scam", BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi has asked why Raja has remained silent so far.
Telecom Minister A Raja on Friday hit out at the BJP saying free distribution of radio frequency among operators during the NDA regime may have cost the country over Rs 1.6 lakh cr.
President Pratibha Patil told a gathering of top British figures from the world of business and finance Wednesday that economic reforms unleashed in 1991 have been accepted by all political parties in India.
After announcing that 3G spectrum would be auctioned on January 14, telecom minister A Raja has sought finance minister Pranab Mukherjee`s help to resolve persisting differences with the defence ministry.
Congress on Tuesday steered clear of the controversy surrounding CBI investigation into the alleged irregularities in spectrum allocation, saying the work relates to the government and no political party should comment on it.
The auction of radio waves to start third generation (3G) telecom services in India will take place as scheduled, Minister of State for Communications and IT Sachin Pilot said here Tuesday.
Mobile operator Idea Cellular said CBI has asked the company for its accounts and 2G licence documents in connection with alleged irregularities in allocation of spectrum to new operators by the Department of Telecom (DoT).
Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh on Sunday refused to discuss in public Telecom
Minister A Raja`s contention that he had consulted him on
allocation of spectrum and parried questions on the demand for
Minister`s removal.
The government on Saturday said foreign
firms would be allowed to bid for spectrum for third
generation mobile services and will start auctioning the radio
waves from January 14, 2010.
Rejecting allegations of
alleged irregularities in spectrum allocation to telecom
firms, Communication and IT Minister A Raja on Saturday said he had
not deviated from the norms followed by his predecessors.
Opposition parties today demanded
that Telecom Minister A Raja be sacked to allow a fair probe
into the alleged corruption in spectrum allocation, as CBI
continued searches in offices of the ministry and mobile
The government on Tuesday submitted
before the Delhi High Court that there was nothing arbitrary
about fixing a cutt-off date to apply for telecom licences
bundled with start-up 2G spectrum.
With the auction for 3G spectrum round the corner, the government has set up a committee headed by Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrasekhar to monitor vacation of radio waves by the defence forces.
Tata Teleservices said on Sunday it
has again approached the government for airwaves to roll out
its GSM service in Delhi immediately.
Ahead of Thursday's scheduled
EGoM meet, CDMA operators association AUSPI has asked the govt to auction all available 3G spectrum and keep a reserve price of Rs 2,020 crore as originally proposed by the Department of Telecom.
Govt is mulling allowing telecom operators to share spectrum among themselves to overcome frequency shortage.

Germany international Per Mertesacker is aiming to follow Arsenal's FA Cup triumph with success in the World Cup, the Daily Mail has reported.
Mertesacker has told the German Press that having been part of the Gunners' 3-2 win over Hull City earlier in May, he has the taste of silverware and wants more with the national team.
"Winning the FA Cup has given me a lot of confidence," the centre-back said. "It has set me up to get another highlight, something which I can definitely achieve.
"[Germany] want to go further than we have been in previous competitions," Mertesacker added. "Those who have watched us know what that means. We don't want to constantly only reach third place."
Mertesacker also feels that he is coming into the World Cup on the back of a good season with his club. "The last season was definitely the best I have had since I joined Arsenal," he said. "I was injury free and was playing regularly. I now feel I have arrived in England - that I have made something of myself there."
The 29-year-old has made more than 100 appearances for Arsenal after joining from Werder Bremen in 2012. He also has almost 100 caps for Germany and has played at two World Cups and one European Championships.

I'm hiding in a bush. It's a nice bush, all green and... bushy. I feel safe here. Unfortunately, I'm drawn out of my verdant sanctuary by the crackling of my radio, and then an authoritarian voice starts shouting at me. There are men, men with guns, and they are running down a hill, shooting at my bush. The bastards. Crawling out of the protective shell of leaves and twigs, I'm treated to a stunning vista. The fictional Greek island of Stratis, 20 square kilometers of valleys, forests, farms, towns, and picturesque coasts. There's little time to soak all this in, however, as I'm still being shot at.
Tiny figures dance around in the distance, dodging and weaving, ducking and diving, but, most importantly, unleashing a barrage of bullets in my direction. The voice on the radio continues to shout at me. I need to shoot these men, because they are bad. I can tell that most of my bullets are missing their targets, mainly because of the dirt and dust exploding out of the ground around them. But enough fly true, and one man goes down forever, then another, and finally the third. I cheer. I'm a good soldier.
The voice on the radio is less impressed, unfortunately. And surveying my surroundings, I can understand why. My squad's medic lies contorted next to a rock, and nearby are the rest of my team, all ex-soldiers, because they are dead. Arma 3 is serious business, and is almost certainly not about hiding in bushes, letting everyone else do the hard work.view full story + comments

Contentious Reid scheme on Thames wins planning - images
The long-running saga surrounding Reid Architecture's plans for a new residential block next to the Tower of London has finally come to an end.Yesterday (28.02.06) the City of London's planning committee gave the thumbs-up to the contentious Three Quays scheme on the River Thames, ending a two-year battle to get the project off the ground. The development, which had received the backing of city planning boss Peter Rees, was due to be approved back in June 2004. However, just days before the committee meeting, the government office for London unexpectedly demanded that the practice carry out an environmental-impact assessment. Now, after a number of false starts, Reid has been given the all-clear to demolish an award-winning 1959 building designed by Brian O'Rourke, which is already on the site, and replace it with 141 luxury apartments. According to Reid, the new scheme responds to the neighbouring Tower of London World Heritage Site and is sympathetic to key views of the tower from Monument and London Bridge. Practice director Nigel Ostime said: 'The treatment of the facade is a response to both the materials and layering of the walls and terraces of the Tower of London and the need for openness towards the river.' The project will also incorporate a water feature designed by William Pye. by Richard Waite

You should also be prepared for rain. The high mountains create their own weather systems on Dominica. It rains approximately 350 inches a year in the forested areas. Because daytime temperatures range from the mid-seventies to the mid-eighties year-round, the rain does not need to ruin your hike, just be prepared for some mud and have something to protect your camera. We had a rare day, with only a few sprinkles on our way back to the bus after our visit to the twin falls at Trafalgar.
Our tour did not include guides at the falls or pool. Guides must be approved by the National Forest, and were available for $5 per person. You do not have to use a guide, but they are available if you are interested in learning more about the area along the way. Another important fact to know before going is that the bathrooms at popular sites are $1 per visit. We made a short stop at one of the black sand beaches so that my son could collect some of the sand for his chemistry teacher. The sand was very pretty and sparkled in the sun, but didn't really look black, more like a silver grey. When my son let us all feel the plastic bag with the sand in it, I couldn't believe how hot the sand was. I don't think I would have enjoyed spending time at the beach.
When we made our reservations, we had to pay 50% upfront through PayPal and the remaining amount was to be paid in cash after the tour. This process has been changing, so please check the required deposit amount when you contact them. One of their tours offers includes river tubing. Although we did not select this option, I have read many positive reviews about the tubing experience.
The one hotel that we saw was close to the cruise port in the capital of Roseau. Although we only saw it from the outside, the Fort Young Hotel looked very nice. It was interesting to see how it had been built around the remains of an old fort. I hope to someday have the opportunity to visit Dominica and stay longer than a day.

Raptors hire GM: Masai Ujiri deal done
NBA executive of the year returns to Toronto on five-year deal, replacing Bryan Colangelo.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
If there is one trait Masai Ujiri has shown above all others in his short career as the key decision-maker with an NBA franchise, it's patience.
And after a rather protracted but not unusual period weighing job offers, the 42-year-old Nigerian-born Ujiri has given the Raptors what they want.
Ujiri, the NBA's executive of the year with the Denver Nuggets, took a week to decide but formally agreed Friday to accept a lucrative Raptors offer to become the fifth general manager in the team's 19-year history.
"I'm coming," Ujiri said in a text message late Friday afternoon, ending speculation about whether or not he would take a Toronto offer for a five-year contract that some reports suggest will be worth nearly $15 million.
Ujiri, whose seminal moment as executive vice-president of basketball operations in Denver was waiting out the New York Knicks for weeks in a franchise-altering trade involving all-star Carmelo Anthony, replaces Bryan Colangelo at the top of the basketball chain with the Raptors.
But in a situation unprecedented in recent NBA history, Colangelo remains an integral figure with the Raptors, serving as team president while ceding control of ultimate basketball decisions to a man he once hired as director of global scouting.
Ujiri has long held that Colangelo and Raptors senior adviser Wayne Embry were mentors and both are still involved in the organization to act as sounding boards if Ujiri wants.
He takes over a Toronto team that has seen incremental improvement over each of the last three seasons, but one that has not been in the NBA playoffs in five springs.
The roster seems set and there is not much financial wiggle room under the NBA's arcane salary cap rules, by Ujiri has carte blanche from incoming Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment chief executive officer Tim Leiweke to make whatever changes he wants, small or large.
"It will be my GM, and I will have his back," Leiweke said earlier about the GM he'd hire to replace Colangelo.
Colangelo, in the three years Ujiri worked in Toronto, lauded him for his independent thinking.
"When I hired Masai, I realized quickly he was very good at developing relationships and also exceptional at sizing up talent," Colangelo said in a December, 2012 interview with The Star. "He was also very confident in his opinions on players and people and not afraid to express an opinion either."
There are several immediate decisions Ujiri will have to make.
Ujiri becomes the fifth full-time GM in the 19-year history of the Raptors, following Isiah Thomas, Glen Grunwald, Rob Babcock and Colangelo. Wayne Embry, who Ujiri has called one of his mentors, was interim GM between Babcock and Colangelo and remains a senior adviser.

Not bad.... These are very good shorts for the price! A little big and baggy.... November 11, 2014
Love these! I bought 6 pair of these shorts for my 15 year old son. He 's very hard to shop for, he wears a 26" waist and 32" length in pants. These are long enough and narrow enough for him and look great! Thank you Nike! November 5, 2014
Solid product Solid product but a bit see through have to be sure to wear white draws November 4, 2014
I have very tall boys and skinny and these shorts work well for their body type. My family is very tall and slender Nd it is hard to find cool looking shorts that are long enough for them. They love the feel of the fabric and I love how they wash up when they get dirty. The fabric doesn't snag or get stretched out in the wash. They have held up well for my family. November 4, 2014
Great purchase I love this line of shorts. They are very comfortable and lightweight. I use these for cycling and weight training, and not much for basketball. Still, they are excellent shorts for the activities that I do. November 3, 2014
Love the product The Nike shorts are very durable and wears well. They fit true to size and will be buying more shorts like this, escpecially when we can get them on sale. October 30, 2014
A perfect gift for our grandson. I purchased this item with a buy one, get one 50% off offer. I wanted to buy another one for 50% off, but I had a hard time finding another color in a size small. There were many colors to choose from, but no smalls. I also wanted to purchase a tank to match, but again, no smalls. There are a lot of young boys starting to play sports in school that are in men's small. It would be great if you could stock more items in the men's small size. Thank you! October 29, 2014

On a night that saw the Jazz drop a second game to the cellar-dwelling Minnesota Timberwolves for the second time in a month, the Utah Flash went the opposite direction and scored a nice 104-98 win over regional rival Idaho.
The Flash announced a crowd of 6,127, their third straight home game with at least 6,000 fans. From the recap:
The Flash were down 11 with 6:00 left in the half but responded with a 16-4 run to end the quarter shooting over 50 percent from the field. Andre Ingram led the charge for the Flash scoring 11 points in the quarter. Cedric Simmons added eight in the quarter Idaho.
The start of the third period looked like a dunk contest when Carlos Wheeler started if off with a two hand break away windmill dunk which was then followed by a big dunk from Cedric Simmons of the Stampede on the other end. Wheeler later had two dunks, one an impressive ally-oop slam, which increased the lead to nine with the score 79-70 with under two minutes to play. Orien Greene chipped in seven points in the quarter.
The Flash scored to start the fourth quarter making it a 10 point lead. Idaho made it close bringing the game to a tie at 92 midway through the fourth but were held to only six points the rest of the game thanks to great team defense from the Flash. Andre Ingram hit the dagger 3-point shot in the final seconds of the game to seal the victory. This is the first game of the season that Idaho did not reach the century mark in scoring.
Sundiata Gaines, the league leader in points at 27.3 per game, was held to just 14. Cedric Simmons led the way for Idaho putting in 26 points on 11-17 shooting from the field. The Utah Flash were led by Carlos Wheeler's 24 points and seven rebounds. Ingram added 21 and Jefferson had 19 points and seven assists.
The Flash improve to 6-2 on the season as the Idaho Stampede drop to 4-3. The Utah Flash will play their next home game on New Year's Eve at 7: 00 p.m.
Flash center Luke Nevill was back in the starting lineup after spending the last week resolving visa issues.

April 10 event teaches self-defense, benefits Haiti relief
From press release
A martial arts event benefiting Haiti Relief will be held at Elite Defense Systems April 10 in Rockford. The volunteer coordinator for the event is owner and chief instructor Matt Numrich, who encourages anyone who wants to learn self-defense and help those who were affected by the recent earthquake to attend the event.
Elite Defense Systems is a martial arts Academy that has been conducting classes in the area for more than 10 years. They will ask for a small donation of $5-$20 for seminars covering child safety, female self-defense, and an adult (co-ed) seminar. All three seminars will be run simultaneously, but separately to focus on the self-defense needs of each group.
All levels are invited to the event, which will run from 1 to 2 p.m. The seminars will be hands-on, so dress comfortably. In addition, they will also run a "Grapple-A-Thon" (2 to 4 p.m.) where participants are pledged in a ground fighting/wrestling event for two hours, non-stop. By participating in or attending these events, you will help raise funds for Haiti directly.
The event will be at Elite Defense Systems Martial Arts Center, 5695 Strathmoor Drive, Rockford, behind St. Anthony's Hospital/OSF. If you are interested in participating or making a donation, call Numrich at (815) 885-4758. For more information, visit www.EliteJKD.com.

Yesterday was so blah, I was nearly afraid to go to work today. But off to work I went, and things went very smoothly.
It helped immensely that my DH called me around lunch time to tell me that the soccer week-end had been cancelled. The fields are too wet to play on. So my disorganized week-end has suddenly turned into: now I have transportation to pick up plants, and help to put them in!
I did learn my lesson this week (I think... it seems I need to keep re-learning it!): I promise that I will not overdo it tomorrow, will properly consider how many "spoons" I have to spend and spend them wisely so I'm not flat on my back Sunday or Monday. Tuesday I'm back to work again.
ETA Also, a non-scale victory! I bought a new pair of jeans in a smaller size a couple of weeks ago, hoping to get out of those elastic-waist jeans. Well, today I forgot I was wearing my new jeans and I pulled them down without unbuttoning/unzipping them. Hmmm... maybe I'll need smaller jeans soon! Gotta go basement shopping this week-end!
Have a happy Sparkly week-end!
Today was a difficult day. Tried a protein smoothie for breakfast for the first time ever, and I guess it didn't agree with me. Just sapped all my energy, wound up falling asleep for a couple of hours.
I was supposed to plan the menu and bulk cooking for this week-end, and do groceries for it, but no way I was able to put all that thinking together in logical order. Slept again in late afternoon, and am off to bed now because I'm again falling asleep on the sofa.
I'm hoping this isn't a sign that I've returned to work too quickly. Even if my breakfast wasn't the best thing for my particular metabolism, it shouldn't have bothered me all day! Call me frustrated and a little nervous...
Returning to work yesterday after having been away for 1.5 years was glorious! I missed my team and the interaction, the exchange of ideas and the joking and teasing. They're a wonderful bunch of people, and I'm very blessed to have their support and friendship. One of them had even cleaned and dusted everything in my office so I wouldn't have to worry about a mess when I got back (there were people occupying the office on-and-off while I was away). It just felt like returning home, in a way, and made things so much easier.
This morning, we ran some errands, including picking up some things I needed for the office. I'll be going back on Friday (only two days per week for a month), and getting settled in. The rest of today was pretty much lounging around, as I hadn't slept much last night and was exhausted.
The plan for tomorrow is to get on my bike and exercise, and then set up a menu of sorts in preparation for week-end cooking. My DH and son are out of town for a soccer tournament, but my sister is going to come over and help me stock up the freezer.
I hope everyone has had a great first half of the week. Let's finish it off strong Thursday and Friday!
A little of this, a little of that...
Saturday I went to a consignment shop and found a couple of treasures: a vest and pant set for the summer, and a really good raincoat with detachable hood. I've been putting of shopping for a coat because of the energy it would take, but this one is perfect and I didn't even expect to find anything in my browsing. Have I mentioned before how I love consignment and thrift shops? I made up for it by buying some semi-dressy looking shoes for work that I can wear with my toe still bandaged. Cost a fortune, but I try not to regret the cost of good shoes. I have such a high instep, it's difficult to find shoes that support me properly.
Yesterday was my alternate "off" day; I actually had to take a two-hour nap in the afternoon! But we started the day right, with DH and I going out for a healthy breakfast and a skim milk cappucino (for me, he had just coffee). Did the menu and groceries. All that was done by 10:30 a.m., with some cooking done in the afternoon (and DH BBQing some chicken breasts). I feel ready for a nutritious week.
I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon, where he'll tell me what's up with this Vitamin B12 defficiency. I tested at normal levels in February, so this kind of surprised me. Curioser and curioser! But it does explain why I've started having problems with my energy levels again (which I was blaming on last year's chemo/radiation treatments). Just goes to show how easy it is to overlook something, and it's always worth checking things out!
I'm a little nervous anticipating returning to work tomorrow (Tuesday). I've been away for 1.5 years, and so much has changed. It's exciting to think of all the new stuff that's going on and sliding back into working with my team. I work with a great team! I'll be spending part of today getting ready for that: checking the stuff I brought home and deciding what I want to bring back, preparing my snack stash, etc.
For now, I'm going off to my stat bike and I-Pod. Can't do it without the music!
Have a great week everyone!
I lost my perspective a little bit on Friday. Hearing that Thursday�s walk, which had felt so good and strong, had set back my healing by 3-4 days was disheartening. But I took a deep breath, then another, and found my perspective.
Really, I should have expected problems because the doctor had told me that I shouldn�t do any walking. The action of pushing off the toe when you walk is the issue, and there�s no avoiding that when you walk. In the heat of the moment (sunshine, feeling great, fresh air), I forgot that little tiny limitation. Stupid chemo toenail.
But, besides learning that hard lesson � and it was very hard to swallow � I learned something else.
The biking I�ve been doing on the stationary bike is really, really helping. A lot. I had stamina, my legs didn�t hurt during or after my walk, or the next day, despite the fact that I haven�t been walking/hiking in literally a few years. Already, I�m so much stronger than I was and it was such a gradual improvement that I didn�t even notice.
And that? That is so very encouraging! So I�ll be sitting on my stationary bike, cycling away with my I-Pod while everyone else is out there hiking, thank you very much. And in about a month, I�ll be out there with the rest of you!

American Football Field Yard Lines IStockPhoto/ Thinkstock(STARKVILLE, Miss.) -- Mississippi State can't afford a loss to rival Ole Miss on Saturday. The Bulldogs sit at No. 4 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings that were announced on Tuesday and are looking forward to the Egg Bowl.
"[It's the] last regular season for us, rivalry game, you got to leave it all out there on the field," Bulldogs head coach Dan Mullen said this week. "You kind of work all year round for this type of game."
Both teams come in ranked for only the third time in 57 years of the Egg Bowl, but Ole Miss dropped to No. 18 after a 30-0 loss to Arkansas last weekend.
"They're a very good football team," Rebels head coach Hugh Freeze said. "[Quarterback] Dak Prescott makes them better than very good. You take him away from that team they're still really good."
"Defensively they're one of the best in the nation against the rush. They just don't give up much on the ground at all," Freeze continued.
Prescott rallied Mississippi State to a comeback victory in last year's matchup and remains one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy.
"It's a game played with emotions and a game played with the heart," Prescott said. "It's a good rivalry and I'm glad to be a part of it."

Nice T-shirt but very, very basic I was surprised to receive the package only 2 days after order even though it was standard shipping. Great Job Tommy!!! The international size fitted me MUCH better than regular american, which is always bulky at my back. I am happy with the cut & the way it looks on me. The material is nice and plain which I love. The stitches are all neatly done. I haven't washed it yet though. Just keep I'm mind it will not work with any kind of just a little bit dressy clothing cause it is too plain. Perfect for jeans. Thanks Tommy Bahamas for international sizing, I wish it was available not only on line but in stores as well. Thanks for beautiful designs. December 22, 2013

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
RETAINER FOR SPECTACLES Filed April 17, 1948 INVENTOR, ELEANOR E. PNDLTON ATTORNEY.
l Se t. i, 1949 RETAINER FOR SPECTACLES Eleanor 1E. Pendleton, St. Louis, Mo.
Application April 17, 1948, Serial No.. 21,689
3 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in retainers for spectacles, and more particularly to an improved device so equipped and of such proportions as to enable quick and easy removal or application of certain types of eye glasses, while providing for their retention between periods of active usage in a position such that they are secured against loss, do not interfere with wearing apparel, repose in a position comfortable to the user, and such that they areins'tantly available for reapplication when wanted.
Certain provisions have heretofore been employed for the retention of industrial goggles and similar devices in place during periods of their usage; also certain devices have been known for providing a flexible connection between the bow elements or temple pieces of spectacles. However,
as far as is mown, none of such devices is capable of application to eye glasses of usual and prevalent standard types without modification of the bows or temple elements, and possibly of other parts of the usual glasses. Moreover, such devices as have come to applicants attention in either a position of use or of disuse of the spectacles, rather tightly grip or embrace some portion of the head of the wearer, resulting in discomfort. it is accordingly a principal object of the present invention to obviate the several objections to devices such as those referred to, and to provide a fully comfortable, attractive, inexpensive and serviceable attachment which enables the glasses to be kept captive in a position ready for application, between periods of their usage.
A further and important objective of the present invention is attained in an arrangement for the purpose noted which will yleldably 'grip the terminals of the bows or temples of prevalent types of spectacles, and which may be readily applied without tools or special skill, and without any modification of parts of the usual types of spectacles.
Still a further object of the present invention is realized in an improved resilient socket connection for spectacle bows, and a retainer band, this arrangement consisting in a preferred form, of an open end, rubber-like element of appreciable expansive resilience, and a rigid ferrule connecting the rubber-like element to each of the opposite ends of a captor band.
The foregoing and numerous other objects will more clearly appear from the following detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment of the invention, particularly when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
2 Fig. 1 is an isometric view showing the device attached to the temple elements of a pair of spectacles, and showing the manner in which the latter are kept captive in a position of their retending temple pieces T. There are illustrated as an example, ,eye glasses of the type of spectacles, embodying the heavier plastic frames and temples; however, it should be distinctly understood that the device of the present invention is equally adapted to the reception of the usual wire frames of whatever prevalent style, including the wire-like temples and curved extremities sometimes designated in the trade as bows, the only difference in the retainer assembly for accommodation of these different types, being a somewhat smaller internal diameter of the socket elements, later to be described, for the reception of the smaller gauge, usually wireterminels of the metal temples and bows. V
The retainer device itself consists of a flexible tie element indicated generally at III. This may be formed of a cord, an ornamental chain, or a band of textile material such as a ribbon, as is preferred. In the claims, where the term ribbon is used to define the tie element, it is understood that it includes equivalents such as these mentioned. In the latter case it will usually be of woven material, and may be supplied in any of a variety of colors to harmonize with the costume of the wearer. The band may if desired, consist of separate lengths, say of ribbon, and these lengths tied or fastened to enable an easy variation in effective length of band.
Secured to each end of the tie element such as band ID, as by means hereinafter to be described, is a flexible socket generally indicated at H. Each such socket isconveniently formed of a short length of a rubber or'rubber-like material by which designation it is intended to embrace many of the elastic synthetic products, plastics, etc. but which, in the present commercial form of the device, consists of a short length of pure gum surgical tubing.
As an attractive. permanent and effective attachment means, functioning to secure each of the This may be formed of metal and attractively plated or otherwise coated, or may be formed of a suitable plastic or other material of such characteristics as to retain its rigidity and form. If desired, the ferrule may, to facilitate assembly, be formed of companion threaded elements. It is noted, as shown by the drawing and a matter of preference, that the opposite ends of the ferrule are substantially inturned or constricted in order better to serve the assembly purposes of this element. In the example shown and as preferred, the innermost end l3 of the ferrule is constricted to an extent that the opening throughthis end of the ferrule approximates only about half of v the normal intermediate internal cross section of the ferrule, while the opposite or outermost end of the ferrule indicated at H, is constricted but to a lesser extent, about an intermediate portion of the socket forming member ll. Thus that portion of the member H which is disposed within the ferrule, is held under some degree of compression therein. This fact, in coaction with the inturned margins in the region It of the ferrule, serves positively and permanently to retain the socket in assembly with the member l2.
Securement of the band, such as a flat ribbon of woven characteristic is effected by providing an overfold l5 as by rolling or folding the extreme end of the band In in this region. This end of the band is secured in its overfolded or rolled condition as by a metal staple or other suitable fastening 20.
It is suggested without restriction, but as a practical order of assembly of the elements thus far described, that the end of the band Ill first be drawn through the opening adjacent the end I3 of the ferrule l2, then through the whole ferrule,
the end of the ribbon overfoldedand stapled with the element 20, following which the end of the band may be retracted to about the position shown within the ferrule, indicating a final position in the assembly. The socket-forming structure ll may be externally moistened for ease of application and readily inserted by constricting it, then partly inserting, then spiralling same into the ferrule l2 in such relation that the end of the tubing or other stock forming the member ll, bottoms against the overfolded head l5. The slight compression with which the socket is retained in the ferrule, will serve, unless and until it is intentionally removed, to maintain the parts in substantially the relation shown by Fig, 3.
The-manner and advantages of usage of the device will have become for the most part apparent from the preceding description, but it may be noted for completeness that application of the retainer consists merely in insertion of the free terminals of the temple elements, or bows as the case may be, into the open ends of the socket elements H. The assembly l0--H is of such length that, after application of the retainer to the spectacles, the now closed loop consisting of spec: tacles and band may be readily brought over the head of the wearer, thence downwardly to a position of repose substantially as shown by Fig. 1, the spectacles resting lightly on the breast or chest areas of the wearer, and the preferably soft material of the band It, engaging the rear surface of the neck. When it is desired to bring the spectacles to a position of use, they are merely lifted and applied as usual, with the bridge over the nose of the wearer and the temples brought just over, or if bowed, around the rear of the ears. In either case it will appear that the length of the band is such that it will lie loosely, and out of engagement with the neck or head, being supported entirely from the sockets and in no wise interfering with the usual usage or location of the spectacles. tains with some types of spectacles, depending upon their adjustment, in that the soft, highly resilient material constituting the sockets ll serves definitely to cushion the extremities of the temples or bows in areas where these extremities might otherwise result in irritation of the skin as is sometimes experienced. It will thus appear that the attachment of the present retainer in no wise alters the facultative movements or manipulation incident to applying or remove ing the spectacles, and that the length of band is also such that there is no disturbance of hair dress or articles of clothing by reason of use of the retainer, it being equally adapted for wear by men and women, as well as children.
The retainer is readily applied to the ends of the temple bars of conventional spectacles. The freely expansible elastic socket elements II will fit over and embrace various sizes and styles of temple bars. The ferrules I2, in addition to furnishing a most desirable attaching means between the band I 0 and the socket elements, aid in applying and removing the socket elements from the temple bars by acting as a firm manually holdable portion.
Although the invention has been described by a somewhat detailed reference to a preferred embodiment, the detail of description is to be understood solely in an instructive sense and without limitation, numerous variants being possible within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
I claim as my invention:
1. A removable spectacle retainer for spectacles having a lens frame and temple bars extending backwardly therefrom to extend over the ears of the wearer and thereby to support the spectacles, the retainer comprising an elongated element of ribbon, two separate socket elements of rubber, and means attaching one end of each socket element to one end of the flexible element with the other end open and projecting outwardly from the flexible element, for resilient expansion and engagement over the ends of the temple bars of the spectacles, said. attaching means closing the said one end of each socket element, the retainer having a length substantially greater than the distance from the ears around the back of the human head and sufficient to enable the spectacles to be put into use, taken off freely, and be sus pended from the neck of the wearer when taken from the head.
2. A removable spectacle retainer for spectacles having a lens frame and temple bars extending backwardly therefrom to extend over the ears of the wearer and thereby to support the spectacles, the retainer comprising an elongated element of ribbon and chain-like flexibility, two separate socket elements of gum rubber-like elasticity, and means attaching one end of each socket element to one end of the flexible element with the other end open and projecting outwardly from the flexible element, for resilient expansion and engagement over the ends of the temple bars of the A definite advantage obaceneee to enahie the spectacles to be put into use, taken oii' freely, and be suspended from the neck of the wearer when taken from the head, the means attaching the socket elements comprising a rigid element firmly attached to each of the socket elements and each rigid element constituting firm, manually engageable means for use in removing the retainer and replacing it on the temple bars.
