Compact modular wireless telephone
First Claim
1. A compact modular wireless telephone comprising:
- a telephonic module consisting essentially of a body member having compact boundaries including a limited length, a limited width and a limited thickness, wireless telephonic operation circuitry within the body member for effecting the transmission and reception of wireless telephonic communications, selector apparatus integral with the body member for selective operation of the wireless telephonic operation circuitry, and body member electrical connector elements integral with the body member and electrically connected to the wireless telephonic operation circuitry; and
a remote modular arrangement including an earphone, a power source, remote electrical connector elements complementary to the body member electrical connector elements, and elongate electrical conductors electrically connecting the earphone and the power source to the remote electrical connector elements, such that upon connection of the remote electrical connector elements to the body member electrical connector elements, the modular wireless telephone is enabled for wireless telephonic communications, with the earphone and the power source located remote from the telephonic module.

Abstract
A compact modular wireless telephone includes a telephonic module having a compact body member within which there is integrated basic wireless telephonic circuitry, and a remote modular arrangement having at least an earphone for connection to the telephonic module through an elongate cable which places the earphone at a remote location relative to the body member of the telephonic module. In addition to the earphone, the remote modular arrangement can include a microphone and a power source, both of which are removed from the body member to the remote modular arrangement. A loop antenna can be incorporated into the body member so that manipulation of the telephonic module will optimize reception of a wireless telephonic signal without disturbing the placement of the earphone at the ear of a user of the wireless telephone.
