Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A housing for a local area network radio transmitter/receiver unit for a computer comprising a first part cooperable with plug and socket connector means of the computer for the transfer of data between said transmitter/receiver unit and said computer, and a second part connected to said first part for pivotal movement relative to said first part between a first position in which said parts are at least closely adjacent one another and a second position in which said second part is rotated to lie at an angle to the direction of insertion of said first part into said plug and socket connector means, said second part housing at least the antenna means of said transmitter/receiver unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A local area network radio transmitter/receiver unit for use with a computer equipped with socket means arranged to accept a PCMCIA memory expansion card comprising a two-part housing of which a first part is adapted for insertion into said socket means in place of a PCMCIA memory expansion card and a second part is connected to said first part for pivotal movement relative to said first part between a closed or transit position in which said parts lie at least closely adjacent one another and an operative position in which said second part is rotated relative to said first part such that said first part may be inserted into said socket means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A transmitter/receiver unit in accordance with Claim 2 wherein said first part of said housing carries interface circuit means, and said second part of said housing carries at least the antenna means of said transmitter/receiver unit.
