Abstract
A card holder has a dielectric base adapted to support the card and having an upstanding flange formed with two holes having outer edges spaced apart along an axis by a predetermined distance. A cover is formed with two tabs engageable through the holes and having outer edges spaced apart by slightly less than the predetermined distance. The cover outer edges are formed with respective oppositely outwardly projecting bumps. The tab has at the bumps a width slightly greater than the predetermined width. The cover is deformable such that the tabs can be forced with elastic deformation of the cover through the holes until the bumps pass through the holes. The cover is pivotal about the axis on the base when the tabs are fitted through the hole. A seat on the cover loosely holds the card on the cover limitedly pivotal relative to the cover.
