Combination cellular telephone and radar detector
First Claim
1. A combination cellular telephone and radar detector, comprising:
- a housing;
a power supply enclosed within said housing;
an on/off switch enclosed within said housing and electrically connected to said power supply;
cellular telephone circuitry enclosed within said housing and electrically connected to said power supply;
radar detection circuitry enclosed within said housing and electrically connected to said power supply;
an output speaker enclosed within said housing for outputting audio signals generated by both of said cellular telephone circuitry and said radar detection circuitry;
an input microphone enclosed within said housing and electrically connected to said cellular telephone circuitry;
an antenna attached to said housing and electrically connected to said cellular telephone circuitry;
a keypad mounted on said housing for controlling both of said cellular telephone circuitry and said radar detection circuitry, and for selecting one of a radar detection mode and a cellular telephone mode;
a display screen surface-mounted on said housing for displaying said selected operational mode.

Abstract
A system combining the features, elements, and operations of a cellular telephone and a radar detector into a unitary assembly. The present invention generally comprises a housing enclosing a power supply, an output speaker, an input microphone, an antenna, a display screen, a multi-button keypad, cell phone circuitry, and radar detection circuitry. The housing further incorporates a spring-loaded clip assembly that provides for “hands-free” cellular telephone operation. The present invention may include a plurality of operational modes that are manually selected by a user via the keypad. The operational modes may include “cellular telephone only”, “radar detector only”, and a hybrid mode wherein the system operates as a radar detector until an incoming cellular telephone signal is detected causing the system to convert to its cellular telephone operational mode. The present invention is easily transported and simple to use, fabricated of materials providing the appropriate degree of durability/longevity required by the nature of its use, and may be economically manufactured and sold.
