Abstract:
A wrist-borne radiotelephone set comprising:A. a case coupled to a strap adapted to engage the wrist on a hand of a user whereby the strip then overlies an inner side of the wrist and the case an outer side thereof; B. a miniature microwave transceiver housed in the case having an audio input and an audio output to provide two-way mobile telephone communications; C. a microphone mounted on the strap and connected to said audio input whereby when the hand is raised to a position at which the microphone on the strap engaging the wrist is then adjacent the mouth of the user, voice messages from the user may then be transmitted; and D. an earphone mounted within a finger thimble and connected by a cable that is retractable within the case to said audio-output, the microphone reproducing telephone voice messages received by the transceiver; said cable when retracted in the case then retaining said thimble against a side of the case whereby to operate the radiotelephone, the thimble is pulled away from the side of the case and fitted onto a finger of the hand, the hand then being raised to a position at which the thimble carrying the earphone can be inserted by the finger in an ear of the user, at which position the microphone is adjacent the mouth whereby the user can speak into the microphone and listen through the earphone, said finger thimble having the earphone mounted therein being dimensioned to be insertable into the ear to effectively shield the ear from extraneous sounds whereby what the ear hears is only sound from the earphone, said finger of the hand being an index finger, and said finger thimble being dimensioned to conform to the index finger so that it is insertable into the ear of the user.
