Abstract
A protective package for pagers and similar products has a protector on which the pager is mounted. The pager protector has a formed plastic mounting panel having raised lands which are spaced from each other by a center section which forms a cradle for the pager with the raised lands. The pager is mounted on the panel by inserting the spring loaded clip of the pager through a notch in the center section of the panel to slip the center section of the panel between the head of the clip and the pager body until the clip head seats into an indentation in the panel. The notch may have sections of different widths and the indentation may have portions of different depth and periphery so that the insert can be used with pagers of several different standard sizes. The protector with the pager mounted may be enclosed within an outer container that conforms to the general dimensions of the protector to provide a secure, protective packaging structure around the pager and insert. The protector may also have a multi-part structure with the pager mounted on a mounting panel to which a cover panel is joined by an integral hinge. The cover panel is rotated about the hinge to enclose the pager between the cover panel and the mounting panel. A base panel may be joined by a hinge to the cover panel to fold over and be engaged with the bottom of the mounting panel to complete the package.
