Carry case and external electronic accessory assembly

摘要

A carry case and electronic accessory assembly (100) provides direct interconnection between an external electronic accessory (104) and a portable radio (202) with minimal use of interface contacts. The external electronic accessory (104) includes a remote accessory (114) attached to a connector (106) having a substantially rigid portion (108) and a pivotal portion (110). The substantially rigid portion (108) attaches to the carry case housing (102) and provides a retention means within which the pivotal portion (110) can move. The pivotal portion (110) latches to the radio (202) to provide direct electrical contact between accessory contacts (124) of the external electronic accessory (104) and the radio contacts (204) of portable radio (202).
