Abstract

Abstract When the handset of an automobile radio telephone is being assembled, the parts of the handset are secured to a metal intermediate chassis (6), which at the same time serves as the ground plane of the handset. RF-shielding covers (9) can be secured to the intermediate chassis (6) in order to prevent RF-interference.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 67 words
An intermediate chassis for a mobile telephone hand­set, to which chassis the handset circuit cards with their components, as well as other necessary functional compo­nents, are secured, in which case the handset can be tested before the installation of the exterior casings (1, 2), characterized in that the intermediate chassis (6) is a substantially continuous metal sheet and is used as the ground plane in the handset.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 67 words
An intermediate chassis for a mobile telephone hand­set, to which chassis the handset circuit cards with their components, as well as other necessary functional compo­nents, are secured, in which case the handset can be tested before the installation of the exterior casings (1, 2), characterized in that the intermediate chassis (6) is a substantially continuous metal sheet and is used as the ground plane in the handset.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 59 words
A handset intermediate chassis according to Claim 1, characterized in that the chassis has preferably a contin­uous strip-like edge section (6b, 6c), the plane of which is preferably perpendicular to the plane of the sheet-like center section (6a) of the intermediate chassis (6), and the width of which is substantially greater than the thick­ness of the center section (6a).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
A handset intermediate chassis according to Claim 2, characterized in that the intermediate chassis (6) has a cross sectional shape of an H-profile.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
A handset intermediate chassis according to Claim 2, characterized in that the intermediate chassis (6) has a cross sectional shape of a U-profile.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
A handset intermediate chassis according to Claim 1, characterized in that the intermediate chassis (6) is made from metal by pressing or by casting.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 30 words
A handset intermediate chassis according to Claim 1, characterized in that the intermediate chassis has lugs and/or clasps to which the components are secured when the handset is being assembled.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 69 words
A handset intermediate chassis according to Claim 1-4, characterized in that one or more shielding covers (9) can be secured to the intermediate chassis (6) so that the edge parts of the RF-shielding cover (9) attach to the edge of the strip-like edge sections (6b, 6c) of the intermediate chassis (6), whereby RF-shielded areas are formed which are delimited by the intermediate chassis (6) and the RF-­shielding cover (9).
