Transportable support assembly for transceiver
First Claim
1. A transportable support assembly for releasably affixing a transceiver unit thereto, the transceiver unit having a bottom mounting surface extending in a first planar direction and at least one side surface extending in a second planar direction dissimilar with that of the first planar direction, the at least one side surface having an interface element positioned thereat, said transportable support assembly comprising:
- a support surface for receiving the bottom mounting surface of the transceiver unit thereupon and for permitting sliding translation of the transceiver unit therealong to position the transceiver unit at a support position;
a latch member positioned upon the support surface and translatable thereupon into a latching position whereat the latch member latching engages the transceiver unit when the transceiver unit is translated into the support position to latch the transceiver unit in position thereat; and
an interface connector coupled to the latch member to be translatable in unison therewith, said interface connector for engaging with the interface element positioned at the side surface of the transceiver unit when the transceiver unit is positioned at the support position and for disengaging the interface element when the transceiver unit is positioned beyond the support position.

Abstract
A support assembly for a transportable radiotelephone. The support assembly forms a transceiver unit receiving platform which supportively affixes a transceiver unit in position thereat when positioned thereat. Connection with a battery supply, a handset, and an antenna is formed by merely properly positioning the transceiver unit at the transceiver unit receiving platform.

18. A transportable support assembly for releasably affixing a transceiver unit thereto, the transceiver unit having a bottom mounting surface extending in a first planar direction and at least one side surface extending in a second planar direction dissimilar with that of the first planar direction, the at least one side surface having an antenna connector positioned thereat said transportable support assembly further supporting a telephonic handset, a battery, and an antenna therefrom, said transportable support assembly comprising:
-
a support surface for receiving the bottom mounting surface of the transceiver unit thereupon and for permitting sliding translation of the transceiver unit therealong to position the transceiver unit at a support position; a latch member positioned upon the support surface and translatable thereupon into a latching position whereat the latch member latching engages the transceiver unit when the transceiver unit is translated into the support position to latch the transceiver unit in position thereat; and an antenna coupler coupled to the latch member to be translatable in unison therewith, said antenna coupler for engaging with the antenna connector positioned at the side surface of the transceiver unit when the transceiver unit is positioned at the support position and for disengaging the antenna connector when the transceiver unit is positioned beyond the support position.

19. A transportable telephone comprising:
-
a transceiver unit having a bottom mounting surface extending in a first planar direction and at least one side surface extending in a second planar direction dissimilar with that of the first planar direction, the at least one side surface having an antenna connector positioned thereat; a transceiver handset releasably coupled to the transceiver unit and operative to receive signals from, and to supply signals to, the transceiver unit; a battery releasably coupled to the transceiver unit for supplying electrical power thereto; and a support assembly having;
a support surface for receiving the bottom mounting surface of the transceiver unit thereupon and for permitting sliding translation of the transceiver unit therealong to position the transceiver unit at a support position;
a latch member positioned upon the support surface and translatable thereupon into a latching position whereat the latch member latching engages the transceiver unit when the transceiver unit is translated into the support position to latch the transceiver unit in position thereat; and
an antenna coupler coupled to the latch member to be translatable in unison therewith, said antenna coupler for engaging with the antenna connector positioned at the side surface of the transceiver unit when the transceiver unit is positioned at the support position and for disengaging the antenna connector when the transceiver unit is positioned beyond the support position.
