Abstract
A shock and water resistant wireless pager enclosure comprises a bottom having thickened walls, a top lip and interior foam strips. The top edges of the strips are coplanar with the top. A transparent film is supported thereon and on the lip and secured by a cover removably hinged to the bottom by a protrusion at one end, through which a hinge pin passes. The protrusion and pin are accepted in a trough in the bottom. The bottom is rounded about the trough to facilitate the hinged motion. The pin prevents the cover from sliding laterally from the bottom. The bottom secures the pager, the cover is fixed thereto by screws, pinching the film between them. A cover loop proximate the protrusion facilitates opening of the cover and provides a mechanism for attaching a clip. The cover may be multi-coloured for easy identification. The bottom contains a ribbon strip to facilitate pager removal and/or an RFID device to locate the enclosure and thus the pager and/or the user.
