Abstract

A carrying device for a personal radio receiver is shaped so that the radio receiver can be clipped to the carrying device. The carrying device is provided with a belt clip so that the carrying device with the radio receiver can be clipped on a person'"'"''"'"'s belt in a more convenient and comfortable position.

Claims

1. An improved carrying device for a radio receiver or the like having a belt clip extending along the long dimension, said carrying device permitting said radio receiver or the like to be carried in a more convenient and comfortable position on the belt of a person than when carried by the belt clip alone, said carrying device comprising:

a. a generally rectangular main member having front and back surfaces bounded by side edges and by substantially Parallel top and bottom edges;

b. a first retaining flange attached to said top edge of said main member and extending at substantially a right angle from said front surface of said main member;

c. a second retaining flange attached to said bottom edge of said main member, said second retaining flange extending at substantially a right angle from said front surface of said main member in the same direction as said first retaining flange for a distance so as to provide a rectangular support surface to accommodate a radio receiver or the like thereon;

d. a third retaining flange attached to the outer edge of said second retaining flange, said third retaining flange extending at substantially a right angle from said support surface provided by said second retaining flange;

e. said back surface of said main member having a depressed portion extending along the length thereof in a direction substantially parallel to said top and bottom edges of said main member to receive the belt clip of a radio receiver or the like when said radio receiver is positioned on said support surface of said second retaining flange and against said front surface of said main member;

f. and a belt clip attached to said main member at said back surface thereof near said top edge thereof, said belt clip extending downwardly therefrom substantially parallel and adjacent to said back surface of said main member so as to permit said belt clip to be slipped over the belt of a person and thereby permit a radio receiver to be clipped on and carried by said carrying device.

2. The improved carrying device of claim 1 wherein said depressed portion of said back surface has further depressions for receiving projections of the belt clip of a radio or the like and holding said radio.
