Mobile telephone handset construction and method of using same

摘要

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a mobile telephone handset construction, which is adapted to be attached removably in an inverted manner to a support element, such as a strap, loop or ring attached to a back-pack or other article of wearing apparel, or any other suitable support element used for supporting the handset construction. The construction of an embodiment of the invention can be quickly retrieved and responded to in a convenient manner when a call is being received. The construction includes a display mounted at a top front face portion of a housing to present information to the user when the display is viewed in a position adapted to be read by the user. A carabiner latch is connected to the housing for attaching to the support element to suspend the construction therefrom in an inverted manner for storage purposes. The latch is secured to a bottom portion of the housing at a substantial distance from the display to enable the handset construction to be suspended in an inverted substantially vertical position from the support element and able to be moved pivotally from the inverted position by the hand of the user in a quick and convenient manner to a position where the user is permitted to read the information contained on the display. All of this can be accomplished while the construction remains attached to the support element.
