ABSTRACT:
A combination display window cover, tilt stand, and handle for a portable instrument, the unit serving each of these functions by virtue of an integrally formed appropriately shaped unit which can preferably be molded as a single piece of elastomeric material and does not introduce any substantial cost increase over and above a conventional handle. The invention is suited for use in conjunction with a portable instrument which includes a housing of generally parallelepiped configuration having relatively large area front and rear opposing surfaces and relatively small area top, bottom and opposing side surfaces, the housing having a display window extending across its front surface relatively near the top edge thereof and substantially parallel to the top edge. In accordance with the invention, there is provided a combination display window cover, handle, and tilt stand unit which comprises first and second generally triangular members, each pivotally mounted at about one of its corners on opposite side surfaces of the housing and relatively near the top surface of the housing. A generally rectangular panel joins the edges of the triangular members which are opposite the said one corners of the triangular members. The triangular members are proportioned such that when the unit is pivoted to its limit over the front surface the panel overlays the display window and when the unit is pivoted to a position over the rear surface, one edge of the panel is spaced from the rear surface whereby the instrument can be seated on a working surface at a stable tilt position resting on its rear bottom edge and said one edge of the panel.
