ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for securely attaching a portable device to the clothing or other personal item of a user. The system utilizes a modified retaining clip, the retaining clip being pivotably mounted to the device housing. As modified, the retaining clip may be locked in a closed position, thus preventing the portable device from being easily dislodged from the selected personal article. In one embodiment, an adjustable separator is interposed between one end of the mounting clip and the device housing. By controlling the amount that the first end of the clip can be depressed, the separator also controls the size of the gap between the second end of the clip and the device housing. In a second embodiment, the modified retaining clip includes a pair of flexible projections proximate one end of the clip as well as a compression mechanism. The compression mechanism controls the gap between the two flexible projections, thus controlling the relative flexibility of the projections. When the compression mechanism is in a first position, the gap between the flexible projections is relatively unrestrained, allowing the retaining clip to be adjusted. In this position the user is able to attach or release the portable device to or from the selected article of clothing. When the compression mechanism is placed in a second or locked position, the projections are relatively rigid, thereby preventing the retaining clip from moving.
