Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
In combination with a telephone handset having a mouthpiece, an ear piece and a grip interconnecting said pieces, said grip being characterized by a back surface of a transversely flat, longitudinally convex configuration and side edge surfaces of substantially planar configurations normally related to said back surface, a unitary indicia holder formed of a resilient, transparent material and supported in friction-fit engagement with said grip, comprising: A. a back member of a transversely flat, longitudinally convex configuration uniformly spaced from the back surface of the grip for defining between the opposed surfaces of the back member and the back surface an envelope having a closed end and an open end; B. a sheet bearing indicia disposed within said envelope; C. means defining in said back member, in juxtaposition with the open end, an access relief of an arcuate configuration through which access to said sheet is afforded; D. a pair of uniformly spaced side members of substantially planar configuration integrally related with said back member and extended in contiguous relation with the side edge surfaces of said grip; and E. clasping means for securing said holder in fixed relation with said grip including a pair of beads projected from the side members into an engaged relationship with the side edge surface of the grip.
