Abstract

A beeper holder includes a casing having two lugs and a hook on the back at different elevations; a back plate having two mounting flanges bilaterally and perpendicularly disposed near a top side thereof and turned about a pivot pin connected between the lugs on the casing, a projecting strip spaced between the mounting flanges, and a retaining hole near a bottom side thereof for receiving the hook on the casing; a clamping plate having two triangular mounting flanges bilaterally and perpendicularly disposed near a top side thereof and turned about the pivot pin between the mounting flanges of the back plate; and a substantially V-shaped spring plate having one end fastened to the projecting strip of the back plate and an opposite end stopped against the clamping plate causing the clamping plate clamped on the back plate.

Claims

1. A beeper holder comprising:

a casing for holding the beeper having two unitary lugs and a unitary hook respectively raised from a back side thereof at different elevations, and a first pivot pin connected between said lugs;

a flat back plate, having two flat, triangular mounting flanges bilaterally and perpendicularly disposed near a top side thereof and turned about said first pivot pin, a second pivot pin connected between the mounting flanges of said back plate, a projecting strip disposed between said two mounting flanges and spaced below the second pivot pin on said mounting flanges, and a retaining hole equally spaced from said mounting flanges and said projecting strip and disposed near a bottom side thereof for receiving said hook of said casing;

a flat clamping plate having two flat, triangular mounting flanges bilaterally and perpendicularly disposed near a top side thereof and turned about said second pivot pin, and two retainer flanges bilaterally and perpendicularly disposed near a bottom side thereof; and

a substantially V-shaped spring plate having one end fastened to said projecting strip of said back plate and an opposite end stopped against said clamping plate causing the retainer flanges of said clamping plate moved to the bottom side of said back plate.

2. The beeper holder of claim 1 wherein said clamping plate has a serrated inside surface spaced between said mounting flanges and said retainer flanges and facing said back plate.

3. The beeper holder of claim 1 wherein said casing is part of the shell of a beeper.

4. The beeper holder of claim 1 wherein said casing has a semi-enclosed covering for carrying a beeper.
