Abstract

An assembly for a wireless electronic device includes a support and an antenna module. The wireless electronic module includes a casing, and an electronic module mounted in the casing. The support is adapted to support the casing and includes a hollow part. The antenna module is disposed in the hollow part of the support and is coupled to the electronic module.

Claims

1. An assembly for a wireless electronic device, the wireless electronic device including a casing, and an electronic module mounted in the casing, said assembly comprising:

a support adapted to support the casing of the wireless electronic device, and including a hollow part having a spiral shape; and

an antenna module disposed in said hollow part of said support, and adapted to be coupled to the electronic module of the wireless electronic device, said antenna module conforms to the spiral shape of the hollow part of the support.

2. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said support further includes a mounting part adapted to be mounted on a wall, and a connecting part adapted to be connected to the casing of the wireless electronic device, said hollow part of said support interconnecting said mounting and connecting parts of said support.

3. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said hollow part of said support is pliable.

4. A wireless electronic device, comprising:

a casing;

an electronic module mounted in said casing; and

an assembly including

a support for supporting said casing, said support including a hollow part having a spiral shape, and

an antenna module disposed in said hollow part of said support, said antenna module having a shape that conforms to the shape of the hollow part of the support, and coupled to said electronic module.

5. The wireless electronic device as claimed in claim 4, wherein said support further includes a mounting part adapted to be mounted on a wall, and a connecting part connected to said casing, said hollow part of said support interconnecting said mounting and connecting parts of said support.

6. The wireless electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein said hollow part of said support is pliable.

7. The wireless electronic device as claimed in claim 4, further comprising an antenna connector that is mounted on said casing and that is coupled to said electronic module, said antenna module having a contact end that is connected electrically and removably to said antenna connector.

8. The wireless electronic device as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a metallic plate coupled to said electronic module, said casing being formed with a hole registered with said metallic plate, said antenna module having a contact end that extends through said hole in said casing and that is in contact with said metallic plate.

9. A wireless electronic device, comprising:

a casing;

an electronic module mounted in said casing; and

an assembly including

a support for supporting said casing, said support including a hollow part,

an antenna module disposed in said hollow part of said support and coupled to said electronic module; and

a metallic plate coupled to said electronic module, wherein said casing is formed with a hole registered with said metallic plate and wherein said antenna module has a contact end that extends through said hole in said casing and that is in contact with said metallic plate.

10. The wireless electronic device as claimed in claim 9, wherein said support further includes a mounting part adapted to be mounted on a wall, and a connecting part connected to said casing, said hollow part of said support interconnecting said mounting and connecting parts of said support.

11. The wireless electronic device as claimed in claim 10, wherein said hollow part of said support is pliable.

12. The wireless electronic device as claimed in claim 11, wherein said hollow part of said support has a spiral shape.

13. The wireless electronic device as claimed in claim 9, further comprising an antenna connector that is mounted on said casing and that is coupled to said electronic module, said antenna module having a contact end that is connected electrically and removably to said antenna connector.
