HOUSING FOR PORTABLE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENT

摘要

A housing for a portable electrical instrument such as a pocket-sized radio transmitter-receiver. The housing includes a battery compartment having a first connector for electrically connecting one or more batteries to the instrument, a panel for mounting control elements to control operation of the instrument, and at least one section for mounting the panel. The battery compartment can alternatively accept batteries of at least two different types or sizes. A second connector is removably mountable within the battery compartment to electrically connect the battery or batteries to the instrument. Any one of a selected number of different control element mounting panels can be interchangeably mounted on the panel mounting section. The different panels are electrically and mechanically interconnectible to form an integral unit.
