Abstract: An electronic device with a full function foldable keyboard is presented and includes first, second and third body elements in an overlapping stacked alignment with one another when the device is in a closed position and a display screen constructed in at least one of said first, second and third body elements. The first and second body elements are arranged for pivotal movement with respect to one another about a first pivot axis and the third body element is arranged for pivotal movement with respect to one of the first and second body elements about a second pivot axis passing through one of the first and second body elements. A function keyboard constructed in two portions, each of which has an array of keys consistent with a selected function wherein the function keyboard is exposed for operative use when the device is in a first open position in which the first, second and third body elements are in a non-overlapping alignment with one another and are located on opposite sides of the display screen.

Abstract: In a multi-function electronic device, consists of a display mounted on the body of the device and two slidable panels mounted in the body for extension and retraction into the body. The body includes a base panel extending outward. One panel contains a keypad for use in conjunction with the display. The other panel contains a portion of a full function keyboard that cooperates with another portion of the full function keyboard mounted on the base panel. The full function keyboard is provided for operation with the display.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a mobile phone having user changeable composite covers formed by a two-shot process. The covers are removable and are adapted to slide onto and off the electronic device/mobile phone to thereby enclose the electronic device/mobile phone in a water-resistant/dustproof manner. The composite covers include resilient regions with buttons formed therein that cooperate with control elements in the electronic device/mobile phone. The composite covers are formed by a two-shot process that involves the use of a transparent material in a first shot to provide a hard cover having a number of openings there through. The second shot involves the use of the transparent hard cover as a core onto which an elastomeric layer is applied, so that some of the openings in the hard cover have buttons formed thereon, whereas other regions and openings in the cover are not covered.

Abstract: A user interface construction is provided for a portable terminal of a communication system. It comprises a circuit board (301, 603) having a first surface as well as a keypad (303, 304), a display unit (307) and a loudspeaker (306) on said first surface. Additionally it comprises an outer cover (311) arranged to essentially cover said keypad (303, 304), display unit (307) and loudspeaker (306). It comprises also between the keypad (303, 304), display unit (307) and loudspeaker (306) and the outer cover (311) an extended display frame (308, 602). It is electrically conductive, coupled to a ground potential member (604) appearing on the circuit board (301, 603) and arranged to hold the keypad (303, 304), display unit (307) and loudspeaker (306) in place with respect to the circuit board (301, 602). Additionally it is arranged to essentially cover the keypad (303, 304), the display unit (307) and the loudspeaker (306) so as to protect them against electrostatic discharges.

Abstract: A cordless telephone handset. The cordless telephone handset has telephone circuitry with a front side. The front side of the telephone circuitry has a top end and a bottom end. A housing is provided having a top shell and a bottom shell where the top shell and the bottom shell are disconnectable. The housing is adapted to substantially enclose the telephone circuitry when the top shell and the bottom shell are mated in a direction from the top end to the bottom end of the telephone circuitry.

Abstract: An electromechanical structure is provided for a portable radio device. In comprises a circuit board (302, 401), a number of components (301, 402) attached to the circuit board, a conductive shield (303, 304, 404, 407) for enclosing the components and an essentially planar antenna radiator (305, 410). A part (304, 407) of the conductive shield is essentially planar and adjacent to the antenna radiator (305, 410) in order to function as a ground plane for the antenna radiator.
