Abstract

A wireless communication receiver includes a main body, a cover detachably assembled to the main body, and an antenna. The cover is slideably connected to the main body by the antenna.

Claims

1. A wireless communication receiver, comprising:

a main body defining at least one positioning hole;

a cover detachably assembled to the main body, the cover comprising at least one supporting portion corresponding to the positioning hole; and

an antenna;

wherein the cover is slideably connected to the main body by the antenna between open and closed positions, the supporting portion is inserted into the positioning hole to maintain the cover in an open position with the antenna resiliently bent relative to the main body.

2. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the antenna comprises a connecting end and a radiating portion extending from the connecting end, the connecting end is received in the main body, and the radiating portion extends through the cover with a distal end received in the main body.

3. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the antenna is made of flexible material.

4. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 2, wherein, when the cover is in the open position, the radiating portion of the antenna is resiliently bent relative to the main body.

5. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 1, further including a sleeve placed at least partially around the antenna.

6. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 5, wherein the sleeve is made of flexible material.

7. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 6, wherein two ends of the sleeve extending through the cover are fixed in the main body.

8. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 7, wherein the main body and the cover both comprise two opposing protrusions, each protrusion defines a mounting hole, the two ends of the sleeve extend through the mounting holes of the cover, fixed in the mounting holes of the main body.

9. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 7, wherein the main body includes a latching portion and a USB connector, the cover defines a receiving cavity to receive the USB connector and engage with the latching portion.

10. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 8, wherein the main body further includes a receiving portion communicating with a corresponding mounting hole to receive the distal end of the antenna.

11. A wireless communication receiver, comprising:

a main body;

a cover detachably assembled to the main body, the cover defining two mounting holes; and

an antenna, the antenna comprising;

a connecting end received in the main body; and

a radiating portion extending from the connecting end, the radiating portion extending through the mounting holes of the cover with a distal end received in the main body;

wherein the cover is slidably connected to the main body by the antenna between an open position and a closed position.

12. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 11, further comprising a sleeve placed at least partially around the antenna, wherein two ends of the sleeve extends through the mounting holes and fixed in the main body.

13. The wireless communication receiver as claimed in claim 11, wherein the main body defines at least one positioning hole, the cover comprises at least one supporting portion corresponding to the positioning hole, the supporting portion is inserted into the positioning hole to maintain the cover in an open position with the antenna resiliently bent relative to the main body.
