  • Patent number: 5761611
    Abstract: A bag phone comprises a bag (2) holding a cellular radio telephone handset (14), transceiver housing (22) and battery pack (26). To allow access to the battery pack (26) for re-charging, the handset (14), transceiver housing (22) and battery pack (26) are all carried in a holder (28) which can be taken out of and placed in the bag (2) as a unit. The holder (28) is a sheet of lightweight material which is configurable between a folded position in which it can be placed in and removed from the bag, and an unfolded configuration which allows access to the battery for re-charging.

  • Patent number: 5558804
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vibration damping mounting comprising a body portion adapted for attachment to a load and including a mounting surface having a resilient member coupled thereto. The resilient member is adapted to exert a substantially equivalent restoring force on the body portion for substantially all directions of the load continuous or discontinuous. This results in the vibration damping being substantially constant over all orientations of the load.

  • Patent number: 5190325
    Abstract: A magnetic catch comprises a magnetic assembly and a catch plate. The magnetic assembly includes a magnet flanked by two pole shoes. The magnet and pole shoes are biassed against a casing portion by an abutment feature provided integrally on a support member which is retained by resilient clips extending from the casing. The localized nature of the abutment feature provides a gap between the pole plates and the support member. This gap allows the pole members to move relative to the magnet so that they can align themselves with the catch plate to provide optimal physical contact therewith. Nevertheless, the biasing arrangement holds the magnet in a fixed position which helps to prevent the magnet and pole shoes from rattling.
