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.
