First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless mobile telephone instrument for operation with a wireless central system to interface a switched telephone network for communication with other telephone terminals and adapted to be powered alternatively through a vehicular or a structural power connection, comprising:
- a housing defining an elongate tubular shape along with an interior space and one element for a releasable engagement;
a radio transceiver fixed in said interior space of said housing for transmitting voice representative signals to indicate digital representations for mobile telephone operation with said wireless central system for connection to another telephone terminal through the switched telephone network;
a power pod defining another element for releasable engagement with said one element of said housing and including a vehicular electrical coupling for engaging said vehicular power connection and a structural electrical coupling for engaging said structural power connection; and
a converter fixed in said power pod alternatively electrically coupled to said vehicular electrical coupling and said structural electrical coupling to supplying appropriate power to said radio transceiver.

Abstract
A wireless telephone system incorporates voice activated mobile instruments that are powered through a separate pod that includes electrical couplings either to A.C. structural power or D.C. vehicular power. Furthermore, the system accommodates both digital (DTMF) and voice (audio) communication from the keyless mobile instruments to and through a switched telephone network.

5. A mobile wireless telephone instrument for communication with remote telephone terminals through a central system, and powered alternatively through an automotive receptacle or a structural receptacle, the mobile wireless telephone instrument comprising:
-
a transceiver for wireless communication for communication with a central structure and including a microphone and an earphone;
a connection structure defined to mate alternatively with an automotive receptacle and a structural receptacle for engagement with a power source;
a converter electrically coupled to the connection structure for energizing the transceiver;
housing structure for containing the transceiver, the connection structure and the converter, and separable to provide a separate part from the remaining housing, the separate part comprising the microphone and the earphone; and
a cable for electrically coupling the separate part to the remaining housing. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An alternative-power wireless mobile telephone instrument for use alternatively with a vehicular power connection or a structured power connection to enable communication with remote telephone terminals, comprising:
-
a handpiece;
a mobile electronics unit, affixed to the handpiece and embodying the components of a wireless mobile telephone for communication with remote telephone terminals; and
a power pod unit electrically connected to the mobile electronics unit by an electrical cable and defining a vehicular connector for electrical coupling with the vehicular power connection and a structured connector for electrical coupling with the structural power connection, the power pod being separably engagable with the handpiece to mutually define a space for containing the electrical cable. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
