Appeal No. 2000-1555
Application No. 08/922,929
BACKGROUND
Appellant’s invention is directed to a radio handset which
is mountable in a curved configuration to a wearable element and
has a flexible portion and a rigid portion (specification, pages
1 & 2). The flexible portion is biased into a straighter
configuration but must be forced into the curved configuration
when the handset is mounted to the wearable element
(specification, page 6). The handset is held in place by
releasable couplings that engage both ends of the handset
(specification, page 7).
Representative independent claims 1 and 25 are reproduced as
follows:
1. A radio handset assembly comprising:
a wearable element; and
a radio handset demountable from the wearable element and
comprising a flexible portion which is deformable between a
curved configuration and a straighter configuration for
extending between the ear and mouth of a user, said radio
handset being biased to the straighter configuration.
25. A radio handset comprising a flexible portion
which is deformable between a curved configuration and a
straighter configuration for extending between the ear and
mouth of a user, said radio handset being biased to the
straighter configuration.
