A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR INDUCTIVE COUPLING TO ANOTHER DEVICE
First Claim
1. A communications device for wireless communication with another device, the communications device comprisinga) a first part comprising a first housing and a first induction coil for providing an inductive coupling to the other device, andb) a second part comprising a second induction coil adapted to be inductively coupled to said first induction coil and to said other device when mounted on or near said first housing,wherein said second part is adapted to be detachably attachable to said first housing,wherein the second coil has the form of a neck strap adapted to be worn around the neck of a person.

Abstract
A communications device for wireless communication with another device, the communications device having a) a first part having a first housing and a first induction coil for providing an inductive coupling to the other device, and b) a second part having a second induction coil adapted to be inductively coupled to said first induction coil and to said other device when mounted on or near said first housing. Provided is a relatively simple mechanical interface for an inductively coupled link between a communications device and another device. The second part is adapted to be detachably attachable to the first housing. An advantage is that no connector is needed whereby a simpler and more reliable device is provided. The consequences of wear of the connector leading to increased contact resistance and/or failure of the electrical connection is avoided.
