  • Patent number: 5568786
    Abstract: This specification discloses a communication device used by a patron to gain the attention of a host in the food service industry. A clip is used to clip onto a conventional checkholder (not shown) . Adhered to the clip is a platform which acts as a base. On one end of the platform will be a release latch spring and release latch button working in conjunction with a disc rotate pin and a disc rotate spring which will enable the proper oscillation of the disc. The disc will rotate from a parallel position to the platform when closed to a vertical position to the platform when opened. The rotation of this disc will notify the host from a distance that the patron is in need of service. Once the patron has been accommodated the host can return the disc to its normally closed position which is parallel to the platform.
