Abstract

A carrier for a portable electronic paging device is provided and consists of a receptacle formed out of protective material having an open top for closely receiving the paging device therewithin. The rear wall has a cutout area with an elastic band extending across the cutout area so that a mounting clip on the paging device can project therethrough and attach onto a belt of a person using the paging device.

Claims

1. A carrier adapted to receive a portable electronic paging device of the type having a mounting clip attached thereto and a speaker therein, said carrier comprising:

(a) a receptacle having interconnected walls comprising spaced front and rear walls, a pair of spaced side walls, a bottom wall and a top opening adapted for closely receiving a paging device therewithin;

(b) said rear wall having a cutout extending down from said top opening;

(c) a band extending across said cutout along said top opening whereby said mounting clip on the paging device can project through said cutout below said band and attach onto a belt of a person using the paging device;

(d) said front wall of said receptacle, having a plurality of holes therethrough and a track therein;

(e) an L-shaped slide member having a plurality of holes in a vertical long arm which rides in said track;

(f) a spring disposed between said bottom wall of said receptacle and a short arm of said slide member;

(g) a cover extending from an upper edge of said rear wall over said top opening; and

(h) a fastener for securing said cover to said front wall, so that the paging device can be placed within said receptacle to bear against said short arm causing said slide member to move down within said track, compressing said spring and allowing said holes in said long arm of said slide member to be in alignment with said holes in said front wall in which sound from the speaker in the paging device will exit therefrom.

2. A carrier as recited in claim 1, further including an accordion pouch disposed on said front wall of said receptacle for holding coins and the like therein, whereby said accordion pouch may be closed by said fastener.

3. A carrier as recited in claim 2, further including a pouch carried on said front wall for holding a spare battery therein.
