Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A holder for inconspicuously mounting a microphone comprising: base means for securing said holder to a surface; and cradle means for interlockingly receiving said microphone in four distinct orientations with respect to said holder, said cradle means including four struts extending from said base means, each of four struts having a bi-directional flexibility so as to snappingly receive and release said microphone.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A holder for inconspicuously mounting a microphone comprising: base means for securing said holder to a surface; and cradle means for interlockingly receiving said microphone in four distinct orientations with respect to said holder, said cradle means including four struts extending from said base means, each of four struts having a bi-directional flexibility so as to snappingly receive and release said microphone.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A holder as claimed in claim 1 wherein said base means includes a mounting wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
A holder as claimed in claim 2 wherein said mounting wall carries an adhesive strip.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A holder as claimed in claim 1 wherein said base means defines a series of notches interposed said four struts to enhance said bi-directional flexibility.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
A holder as claimed in claim 4 wherein said microphone includes a cord, said notches cooperatively defining access means for accommodating said cord irrespective of the orientation of said microphone within said cradle means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A holder as claimed in claim 1 or 4 wherein each of said struts has substantially concave interior walls to substantially match said microphone.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
125 words
A holder for a microphone having a cord comprising: base means for securing said holder to a surface, said base means including a mounting wall and side walls defining an interior cavity, each of said side walls having a centrally located notch in communication with said interior cavity; and cradle means for interlockingly receiving said microphone in four district orientations with respect to said holder, said cradle means including four struts extending from said base means substantially perpendicular to said mounting wall, each of said four struts having substantially concave interior walls to accommodate said microphone, said substantially concave interior walls and said notches cooperatively providing a bi-directional flexibility to said struts, whereby said holder and said cradle means snappingly receive and release said microphone.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
125 words
A holder for a microphone having a cord comprising: base means for securing said holder to a surface, said base means including a mounting wall and side walls defining an interior cavity, each of said side walls having a centrally located notch in communication with said interior cavity; and cradle means for interlockingly receiving said microphone in four district orientations with respect to said holder, said cradle means including four struts extending from said base means substantially perpendicular to said mounting wall, each of said four struts having substantially concave interior walls to accommodate said microphone, said substantially concave interior walls and said notches cooperatively providing a bi-directional flexibility to said struts, whereby said holder and said cradle means snappingly receive and release said microphone.
