Abstract: An antenna construction for wireless telephones and the like. The antenna is capable of concentrating electrical fields near one or more antenna points. One antenna construction may have a terminus configured to form a sharp point so that it has a surface diameter that is substantially less than the diameter of the antenna itself. Another construction may use a multi-ended construction, including a number of individual bristles whose terminus will concentrate electrical fields because of its small size. Another construction may be a unitary antenna construction comprises a plurality of elongate arms radiating out from a center. One longitudinal edge of each of the arms is serrated or saw-like, forming the multiple points or ends at which electrical fields may concentrate. The arms are then creased and folded together to form the antenna.

Abstract: A wireless telephone includes an illumination device mounted therein to provide light when a switch is actuated by finger actuation or by when a pivotally attached antenna is moved from a housed position that covers the illumination device to an extended position for telephone operation.

Abstract: A speaker for a wireless phone is enclosed in an electrically conductive housing the to suppress electromagnetic energy that may emanate from the speaker.

Abstract: A wireless phone is constructed so that the speaker assembly is located at a location remote from the ear of a user. An acoustic tube has an inlet that connects to the speaker and an outlet that is positioned proximate an opening that operates as the earpiece of the telephone. Aural energy produced by the speaker assembly is captured by the inlet, communicated by the tube to the outlet and passed to the opening for a user to perceive.

Abstract: A wireless telephone includes an antenna that is releasably housed by the enclosure of the telephone to extend to an extendable, operating position for use.

Abstract: A key and clip combination useful for securing a spare key in a wallet or purse and for key identification. The clip is low profile and prevents the wallet or purse from becoming bulky. The clip may also include apertures for exposing the hole within the key used for placing the key on a key chain or key peg.
