  • Patent number: 5467324
    Abstract: A wristwatch radiotelephone is usable as a radiotelephone without the need to remove the apparatus from the user's wrist and without the need to plug any additional elements into the apparatus. During radiotelephone use, simultaneous placement of microphone and speaker ports adjacent the user's mouth and ear, respectively, is facilitated by having at least one of these ports deploy from the remainder of the apparatus to increase the distance between the two ports.

  • Patent number: 5322159
    Abstract: An improvement in a known type of display box having two complementary separable box halves arranged to display a wristwatch, comprising a rear box half of rigid material with a bottom wall, a rear wall and two spaced triangular side walls, a watch holder supported in the rear box half and adapted to display the wristwatch, and a front box half of rigid transparent material with a top wall, a front wall and two spaced substantially flat triangular side walls and adapted to nest with the rear box half. The improvement comprises a recessed pocket in the back of the rear box half, formed by a stepped contstruction in the rear wall and bottom wall, and a slot in the top wall of the front box half, the recess and the slot being so located as to cause the slot to be aligned with the recess when the box halves are nested, whereby the open box may be supported on a peg extending through the slot into the recess so as to display the wristwatch.

  • Patent number: 5260915
    Abstract: A combined wristwatch and radiotelephone has a plurality of substantially rigid segment members arranged end to end in a series with pivotable connections between each adjacent pair of members in the series. The pivotal axes of these connections are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the user's wrist when the apparatus is worn on the wrist as a wristwatch. The pivotable connections allow the apparatus to be curved into a shape which fits around the user's wrist when the apparatus is to be used as a wristwatch. Alternatively, the pivotable connections allow the apparatus to form a more elongated structure suitable for use as a hand-held radiotelephone when such use is desired.
