Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornamentation of the connector holder as shown in the drawings; the connector holder has a main body portion having flat generally parallel front and rear surfaces, generally flat and generally parallel top and bottom surfaces extending at right angles to the front and rear surfaces, and a generally flat right side surface which is generally at right angles to the front and rear surfaces and to the top and bottom surfaces; the connector holder has beveled corners between the front, rear, top, and bottom surfaces and the bottom surface has slightly raised areas extending along the front and rear edges thereof;the top surface has a pair of small spaced-apart circular openings and an oblong opening therein which extend to the bottom surface of the connector holder; the top surface also has a central recessed area therein with a flat bottom surface which is generally parallel to the top surface; the flat bottom surface of the recessed area has a small support structure extending along the rear edge thereof with generally flat side surfaces with aligned generally identical pairs of concentric circular areas thereon; the support structure has raised right and left side portions having beveled upper front and rear corners and flat upper surfaces; the raised portions extend above the top surface of the main body portion; an irregular shaped bridge-like element having a generally flat top surface, generally flat side surfaces, and an enlarged front portion extends from between the raised portions of the small support structure across the recessed area in the top surface of the main body portion and projects forwards of the front surface of the main body portion; the front portion has a beveled lower front corner; the bridge-like element has a rectangular recessed area in its left side surface and an aligned smaller rectangular recessed opening in its right side surface; the bottom surface of the main body portion has spaced-apart circular areas thereon and the circular and oblong openings therein situated concentrically within larger circular and oblong areas;the connector holder has a left side projecting area having a flat top surface which is a continuation of the flat bottom surface of the central recessed area in the main body portion; the projecting area has indented areas along its front and rear edges which are generally rectangular in plan view.In the open position of the connector holder, the bridge-like element extends rearwards away from the support structure and the enlarged portion of the bridge-like element has a flat bottom surface with a central shallow circular depression therein; the portion of the top surface of the main body portion has a corresponding circular depression therein adjacent the angled front left corner area of the main body portion.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a front elevation view of the design of the connector holder in a closed position;Fig. 2 is a rear elevation view thereof;Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof;Fig. 4 is a bottom view thereof;Fig. 5 is a left side elevation view thereof;Fig. 6 is a right side elevation view thereof;Fig. 7 is a front left perspective view from above of the connector holder in a closed position;Fig. 8 is a front left perspective view from above of the connector holder in a closed position when in use; andFig. 9 is a front left perspective view from above of the connector holder in an open position when in use.Diagrams of the design are included.
