摘要:
A retractable antenna (100) is provided that includes a body (106) having an orifice (204), a whip (104) retractably coupled to the body (106), at least one follower (200) disposed about the whip (104), and a cam (202) disposed about the orifice (204). The cam (202) is shaped such that the at least one follower (200) interacts with the cam (202) during retraction of the whip (104) so as to rotate the whip as necessary to align the whip in a rotational position that allows full retraction of the antenna. Also provided are an electronic communication device (102) that includes at least one such non-circular retractable antenna (100), and an alignment system for rotationally aligning an extendable portion of a non-circular retractable antenna (100) during retraction.

The invention concerns a low profile, liquid sealed audio component assembly (100). The assembly can include a seal (112) having an opening (114), a membrane (120) that can cover the opening and that can substantially block liquid from entering the seal and an audio component (122) contained within the seal and positioned outside a coverage area (C) underneath the membrane. The membrane can transfer acoustic signals to or from the audio component. In addition, the coverage area underneath the membrane can correspond to the area of the membrane that can receive acoustic signals. As an example, the audio component can be a microphone.

An audio jack (10) is provided for being electrically connected with a PCB (20) and includes a jack body (12) and a plug port (14) configured for receiving an audio plug (16) therein. The jack (10) further includes a plurality of electrical contacts (88, 92, 112) for cooperating with corresponding contacts (42) of the PCB (20). In one form, the jack body (12) includes an integral holding portion (18) configured to engage the PCB (20) for maintaining the body electrical contacts (88, 92, 112) in secure electrical contact with the PCB contacts (42). In another form, gripping members (72-78) are spaced for receiving the PCB (20) therebetween. In this manner, the audio jack (10) can slide onto the PCB (20) for ease of assembly. Preferably, a cut-out opening (90) in the PCB (20) is provided and the jack body (12) is sized to be received therein.

The invention concerns a mobile communications unit (100) having at least one transducer (120) that can broadcast audio through a direct port (110), at least one leak port (114) for leak tolerance of the unit, in which the leak port can have a first opening (116) and a multi-use opening (118). The multi-use opening can be coupled to the first opening of the leak port to complete a path for the leak port, and the multi-use opening can also receive a part of an accessory. As an example, the mobile unit can be a monolith mobile unit. As another example, the accessory can be a holster having a hook mechanism that fits within the multi-use opening and can secure the mobile communications unit to the holster.

An electronic device (100) can include a base portion (105) and a flip portion (110) moveably attached to the base portion (105) through a single hinge twist mechanism (200) such that the flip portion (110) is capable of rotating about a first axis (115) to a first open position and twisting about a second axis (120) to a second open position. The second axis (120) can be substantially perpendicular to the first axis (115).
摘要:
An apparatus for protecting an accessory connector (12) on a communication device (10). The communication device can include an opening (14) for providing access to the connector. The apparatus can be a cover (16) attached in a tethered relation to the communication device. A portion of the cover can be flexible so as to allow a user to selectively move the cover between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at the cover can substantially close the opening such that the connector is substantially protected from the infiltration of solid particles and the gross intrusion of liquids. In the second position, the cover can be held away from the connector such that substantially unimpeded access to the connector is permitted. The cover and communication device can have various associated features to ensure that the cover is retained in the first and second positions.
