Abstract
A holster (100) for receiving a pager (220) having an protrusion (225) comprises a housing (105) having an interior surface (205) and an exterior surface (210), the interior surface (205) forming a cavity (215) for receiving the pager (220). A flexible arm (110) is affixed to the housing (105) and moves between a first position wherein the flexible arm (110) engages the pager protrusion (225) when the pager (220) is within the cavity (215) and a second position wherein the flexible arm (110) is deflected by the pager protrusion (225) as the pager (220) is inserted into or removed from the cavity (215). A belt clip (230) mounted to the housing (105) secures the holster (100) to an article. The belt clip (230) selectably contacts the flexible arm (110) and exerts a pressure thereto which increases the force needed to deflect the flexible arm (110) when the pager ( 220) is inserted into or removed from the cavity (215).
