ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cellular telephone clip, and more particularly to such a cellular telephone clip, which comprises a mount fastened to a cellular telephone or cellular telephone bag, a holder base for holding the mount, a locating block controlled by a push button to lock the mount, and a clamping plate pivoted to a locating cover plate at a back side of the holder base for securing the cellular telephone clip to, for example, the user's belt.
2. Description of Related Art
FIG. 1
shows a cellular telephone clip according to the prior art. This structure of cellular telephone clip comprises a mount E fixedly fastened to a cellular telephone or cellular telephone bag, a holder base A for holding the mount E, and a clip B mounted on the holder base A for fastening to, for example, the user's belt. The mount E comprises a hollow coupling flange F. The holder base A comprises a front coupling flange G for receiving the hollow coupling flange F of the mount E, a latch D, and a control knob C controlled to move the latch D between the locking position where the latch D is forced into engagement with the coupling flange F of the mount E, and the unlocking position where the latch D is disengaged from the coupling flange F of the mount E, enabling the mount E to be disconnected from the coupling flange G of the holder base A. This structure of cellular telephone clip is still not satisfactory in function because the engagement between the coupling flange F of the mount E and the latch D tends to be destroyed. Further, when installed, the cellular telephone cannot be turned outwards from the holder base A for viewing the message shown on the display of the cellular telephone.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been accomplished to provide a cellular telephone clip, which eliminates the aforesaid drawbacks.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the cellular telephone clip comprises a mount fastened to a cellular telephone or cellular telephone bag, a hollow holder base for securing the mount, the holder base having a front coupling chamber, a back receiving chamber, and a slot communicating between the coupling chamber and the receiving chamber, a locating block mounted in the back receiving chamber and forced by a springy holding down plate to insert through the slot into the coupling chamber and to lock the mount after insertion of the mount in the coupling chamber, a spring-supported push button coupled to the base holder and moved between a first position where the locating block is moved away from the slot for the access of the mount to the coupling chamber, and a second position where the locating block is engaged into the slot to lock the mount in the coupling chamber, a locating cover plate pivoted to the holder base, and a clamping plate pivoted to the locating cover plate and retained in the clamping position by spring means.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the locating cover plate is pivoted to the holder base at the back side, so that the user can turn the cellular telephone with the mount and the holder back forwards from the locating cover plate after fastening of the clamping plate to the belt.
