A carrying assembly (10, 110) having an easy release clip for carrying of an electronic device (12, 112) is disclosed. In both a first and a second preferred embodiment, the easy release clip of the carrying assembly (10, 110) allows a user to insert and remove the electronic device (12, 112) in one step and without having to depress a release key. In the first preferred embodiment, the carrying assembly (10) is adjustable so that the electronic device (12) may be positioned in a horizontal position, a vertical position, or any position between horizontal and vertical. The carrying assembly (10) broadly comprises a rear panel (14), a spring component (16) including an integral leaf spring (46), a retainer button (18), and a base (20). In a second preferred embodiment, the carrying assembly (110) is fitted to a lanyard so that the electronic device (112) may be worn around the user's neck. The carrying assembly (110) broadly comprises a base (114), a catch (116), an actuator (118), and a rear panel (120) having an integral leaf spring (256).

Having thus described the preferred embodiment of the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent includes the following: 1. A carrying assembly, adapted to be used with a lanyard, for carrying of an electronic device, the carrying assembly comprising: a base including an opening and a front wall provided with a flange portion for receipt of a locking button; a catch secured to the base, the catch including a retainer portion adapted to protrude through the opening in the base; an actuator having an opening for positioning of a spring and a pair of rails for positioning of the retainer portion; and a rear panel having an integral leaf spring for providing tension to displace the retainer portion. 2. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 1, the catch further including a generally U-shaped projection having a first outer face and a second outer face. 3. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 2, wherein the first outer face has a first boss positioned thereon, and the second outer face has a second boss positioned thereon. 4. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 3, wherein the rails ride along and above the first and the second bosses upon horizontal movement of the actuator. 5. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 4, wherein the retainer portion is displaced upon horizontal movement of the actuator. 6. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 5, wherein the leaf spring provides tension for upwardly displacing the retainer portion. 7. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 6, wherein the locking button is inserted into the U-shaped flange, whereby the retainer portion is downwardly displaced so as to secure the locking button within the U-shaped flange. 8. A carrying assembly for an electronic device, the carrying assembly comprising: a base including an opening and a flange portion for receipt of a locking button; a retainer button provided with a plurality of teeth; a retainer portion positioned on the retainer button and adapted to protrude through the opening for securement of the locking button in the flange portion; and a leaf spring associated with the base and operable to provide tension for displacement of the retainer portion, wherein the carrying assembly is adapted to be fitted with a lanyard. 9. A method for securing an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of: inserting a locking button, having an electronic device secured thereto, within a carrying assembly base having an opening; applying pressure to the locking button to overcome a retainer portion protruding through the opening in the base, wherein the retainer portion is operable to be downwardly displaced; returning the retainer portion to its original position due to the tension in a leaf spring; and carrying the electronic device with a lanyard fitted with the carrying assembly. 10. An adjustable carrying assembly for securement of an electronic device, the carrying assembly comprising: a rear panel; a spring component associated with the rear panel, the spring component being generally U-shaped in cross-section and including an integral leaf spring; a retainer button associated with the spring component and having a retainer portion provided thereon; and a base having an opening and a flange for receipt of a locking button, whereby the retainer portion is adapted to protrude through the opening for positioning within a hollowed portion of the locking button. 11. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 10, wherein the rear panel is generally rectangular in shape and is provided with a pair of side walls and an end wall. 12. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 11, wherein each side wall has an inwardly projecting flange portion shorter than a length of each side wall. 13. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 12, wherein the spring component is adapted to be received in the flange portions of the rear panel. 14. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 13, wherein the leaf spring provides tension for insertion and removal of the locking button. 15. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 14, wherein the retainer button has a rear plate, a front plate, a rear face, an area, and a shape. 16. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 10, wherein the leaf spring is angled at two locations. 17. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 16, wherein the leaf spring is angled approximately 15 degrees at a first location and angled approximately 165 degrees at a second location. 18. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 10, wherein the leaf spring is adapted to be downwardly displaced upon reception of the locking button in the retainer portion. 19. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 10, wherein the assembly is adapted to be fitted with a lanyard. 20. The carrying assembly as set forth in claim 10, wherein the retainer button includes a plurality of serrated teeth for engaging the locking button.
