A personal electronic communication apparatus for carrying by an individual including, a housing having an indicator panel for displaying received information characters or the status of the apparatus located on the front face of the housing. The housing has a normal right-side-up orientation in which all of the information characters being displayed may be read in a normal fashion. A support device includes normally parallel front and back plates, with a hinge mechanism pivotally joining the upper portions of the plates and is adapted to be vertically inserted around a belt or to clip on to a pocket flap, with the hinge mechanism projection upward. The front plate has means for fastening it to the back face of the housing in such an orientation that the indicator panel is normally up-side-down with respect to the individual carrying the apparatus, that is, the indicator panel faces away from the person carring the apparatus. The hinge mechanism permits the front plate to be pivoted upward to a generally horizontal position in which the front plate is generally perpendicular to the back plate, such that the indicator panel can then be read in its normal right-side-up orientation by the person carrying the apparatus. Spring means is associated with the hinge mechanism for urging the front plate to return to its normal position generally parallel to the back plate. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a personal communication apparatus for carrying by an individual that is easy to use without having to remove the apparatus from its secured carrying position.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a personal communication apparatus that has a fastener or clip that permits it to be securely carried by an individual, and Yet permit the apparatus to be quickly and easily removed if so desired.
In general, the invention is directed toward an improved personal electronic communication apparatus comprising, in combination, an electronics communication device including a box-like housing having a front face and a back face.
Radio receiver circuitry is located within the housing for receiving information transmitted to the apparatus.
An indicator panel, for displaying the received information or the status of the apparatus, is located on the front face of the housing.
The indicator panel has therein an electronic indicating device for indicating a row of information characters.
The housing has a normal right side up orientation in which all of the information characters being displayed may be read in a normal fashion.
A support device includes normally parallel front and back plates, with a hinge mechanism pivotally joining the upper portions of the plates.
The back plate is adapted to be vertically inserted around a belt or to clip on to a pocket flap, with the hinge mechanism projecting upward.
The front plate has means for fastening it to the back face of the housing in such an orientation that the indicator panel is normally up-side-down with respect to the individual carrying the apparatus, that is, the indicating device faces away from the person carrying the apparatus.
The hinge mechanism permits the front plate to be pivoted upward to a generally horizontal position in which the front plate is generally perpendicular to the back plate, such that the indicator panel can then be read in its normal right-side-up orientation by the person carrying the apparatus
