Abstract
Abstract A paging receiver provided with a speaker unit including a first resonant box and a second resonant box in order to produce a higher sound pressure without however enlarging a casing of the receiver body is disclosed. The second resonant box is formed made in a hollow space of a mold for fixing a holder to the casing of the paging receiver and is provided with slits to resonate in response to the sound wave outputted from the first resonant box at either input or output portion of the sound wave.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
Paging receiver apparatus including: a receiver subassembly, a holder subassembly, and means mechanically securing said subassemblies together in operative relationship; said receiver subassembly including a body, sound generating means on said body, first resonating means formed in said body for resonating in response to sound generated by said sound generating means, and first grill means defining first aperture means through which sound is emitted from said resonating means; said holder subassembly including second resonating means comprising a sound resonating box means for resonating in response to sound emitted from said first resonating means; said box means being partially bounded by second grill means which defines second aperture means that corresponds with said first aperture means and is aligned therewith whereby sound emitted through said first aperture means enters said box means through said second aperture means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
Paging receiver apparatus including: a receiver subassembly, a holder subassembly, and means mechanically securing said subassemblies together in operative relationship; said receiver subassembly including a body, sound generating means on said body, first resonating means formed in said body for resonating in response to sound generated by said sound generating means, and first grill means defining first aperture means through which sound is emitted from said resonating means; said holder subassembly including second resonating means comprising a sound resonating box means for resonating in response to sound emitted from said first resonating means; said box means being partially bounded by second grill means which defines second aperture means that corresponds with said first aperture means and is aligned therewith whereby sound emitted through said first aperture means enters said box means through said second aperture means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A paging receiver apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second resonant means comprises a wider resonant space than that of the first resonant means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A paging receiver apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second resonating means is conveniently attached to said receiver body upon carrying the receiver.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A paging receiver apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said holder subassembly comprises a clip for mounting said apparatus on a user's belt or the like, in an operative position wherein said second resonant means is above said body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A paging receiver apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein said holder assembly includes a molded part and said second resonant means comprises a hollow space formed in said molded part.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A paging receiver apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein said box means is provided with third aperture means disposed opposite said second aperture means and through which sound is emitted from said box means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A paging receiver apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said molded part includes a holding formation in operative engagement with a cooperating formation on said body.
