Appl. No.:

7/001078

Inventors:

International Classification:

US Classification:

24 3J

Abstract:

For proper pre-assembly alignment of the hinge plate holes (e. g. , 120b and 136b), stops (e. g. , 140a) are engaged in notches (e. g. , 119b). A hinge pin (128) is then inserted into the aligned holes to attach the clip (130) to the base plate (102). The pin is locked in position by a spring finger (204) that forcibly engages the semicircular wall (202) of one hinge plate hole (120a) into a groove (304) on the pin. A coil spring (122) is unloaded during assembly because its free ends (124a and 124b) project through apertures (116a and 116b) in the base plate. After assembly, the spring is pre-loaded by engaging its free ends under tabs (116a and 116b) that project into the apertures. The base plate has a "U" shaped bracket (502) at one end and a tab (112) on a torsion bar (110) at the other end to attach the assembly to a radio housing.

International Classification:

A45F 502

US Classification:

24511

Abstract:

Belt clip assembly for use with a portable electronic apparatus includes a mounting bracket used to join a belt clip and a housing member. A mounting bracket is inserted through a pair of slots in a housing member and holds a belt clip in place by means of a pivot pin inserted through apertures in the mounting bracket and the belt clip. A pair of shear cuts adjacent the apertures in the mounting bracket allow the pivot pin to pull through the shear cuts in the event excess forces are applied to the belt clip, thereby destroying the mounting bracket. In this manner an inexpensive mounting bracket is sacrificed to avoid damage to the housing and the belt clip.
