Compact radio communications device
First Claim
1. A radio communications device comprising:
- a chassis having an outer frame with at least one partition disposed therein;
a substantially rigid housing having at least a user interface housing member and at least one opposite housing member, the user interface housing member being mounted to the chassis to form at least one user interface component chamber with the with a first surface of the partition, and the opposite housing member being mounted to the chassis to form at least one other chamber with the with a second surface of the partition;
a keypad switch mount supporting a plurality of switch contacts aligned with respective keypad keys, the keypad switch mount being disposed in the user interface component chamber and supported by the first surface of the partition;
a display screen disposed in the user interface component chamber and supported by the first surface of the partition;
a battery chamber formed in the other component chamber; and
at least one circuit substrate with processor and transceiver circuitry mounted thereon, the substrate being disposed in the other component chamber and supported by the second surface of the partition.

Abstract
A radio communications device (100) comprising a chassis (102) having an outer frame with a partition (106). There is a substantially rigid housing that in combination with partition (106) form a user interface chamber (410) and one other chamber (420). A keypad switch mount (130) supports a plurality of switch contacts (132) aligned with respective keypad keys (134), the keypad switch mount being disposed in the user interface component chamber (410). A display screen (140 is also disposed in the user interface component chamber (410) and and a battery chamber (430) is formed in the other component chamber (420) adjacent a circuit substrate (150) having surface mounted processor and transceiver circuitry ((160, 260).
