Abstract
A protective antenna guard is intended for use with portable cellular telephones of the type with a retractable antenna, and further intended to be attached to the user's belt or clothing, being provided with clips for that purpose. The antenna guard provides support for the antenna in the retracted position, and also provides a smooth surface at the upper part of the phone, so that the phone, with the protective antenna guard attached, will not snag or become entangled in the user's clothing. The antenna guard is formed into two side tabs, a raised antenna support, a back, and sides, the whole guard being molded in one piece from a compliant, light-weight plastic or the like.
