A portable radio provided with a slidable antenna retractably supported by a housing, an antenna operating member movably mounted in the housing for projecting an antenna top portion from the housing by sliding the antenna in a first direction toward the outside of the housing or for releasing the antenna to enable the antenna to slide in a retracting direction opposite to the first direction, and an operating portion for operating the antenna operating member from outside the housing.

Antenna retracting structure of portable radio

A cover movably connected to a body of a radio is formed with an engaging hole for locking. A locking engaging projection formed in the radio body can move between the disengaging and engaging positions with respect to the engaging hole, and a switch operating projection formed in the radio body can move between the actuating and releasing positions for a receive switch. When the engaging projection and the switch operating projection are moved in correlation to each other by an operating portion in operation, the engaging projection is disengaged from the engaging hole so as to release the cover, and the receive switch is actuated by the switch operating projection so as to open the cover in call reception.

Portable radio having cover releasing mechanism and receive switch which

A radio transceiver apparatus is provided which includes (1) a radio transceiver carrying a removable battery pack which is charged when the radio transceiver is set on a holder including a charger, and (2) an adapter carrying an auxiliary battery pack, identical with the removable battery pack, which is charged when the adapter and auxiliary battery pack are set on the holder alternatively to the radio transceiver.

Portable radio transceiver apparatus

A portable type mobile radio telephone wherein a battery holding device and a handset cradle is formed on one wider surface of the flat-shaped transceiver unit to be in parallel to each other. The transceiver unit has a guide hole and a first connector at a narrower surface thereof, and a base plate is attached to the battery holding device and the cradle so as to be interposed between the battery holding device and the transceiver unit, and the base plate has a curved portion at one end portion thereof such that the curved portion faces one narrower surface of the transceiver unit. The curved portion is provided with a guide pin and a second connector so that the first and second connectors are guided by connection of the guide pin and the guide hole and coupled with each other when the base plate is moved in a parallel direction with respect to the wider surface of the transceiver unit. The transceiver unit has an engaging projection on the wider surface thereof and the base plate has an engaging hole which is positioned to face the engaging projection when the first and second connectors are coupled with each other. The transceiver unit and the base plate are connected to each other by engagement of the engaging hole and the engaging projection.
