Attorney, Agent or Firm: Jackson; Robert R.

A combined wristwatch and radiotelephone has a plurality of substantially rigid link members disposed side by side in a series. Adjacent link members in the series are pivotally connected to one another about pivotal axes, all of which are substantially parallel to one another and to the longitudinal axis of the user's wrist when the apparatus is worn as a wristwatch. A main body member, which may contain or include such components as a display and a telephone dialing keypad, is disposed at an intermediate location in the series. An end member is disposed at each end of the series. One end member contains a radiotelephone microphone, and the other end member contains a radiotelephone speaker. A mechanism is associated with the series of link members for causing the link members to pivot relative to one another so that the apparatus can be placed in either a curved wristwatch configuration or a more elongated radiotelephone configuration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This and other objects of the invention are accomplished in accordance with the principles of the invention by providing a wristwatch radiotelephone having a main body portion and a plurality of pivotally connected link members extending like a wristwatch band in opposite directions from the main body portion.
A mechanism is provided for controlling the pivoting of the link members relative to one another so that the link members can be pivoted to collectively define either a curved shape when the apparatus is to be used as a wristwatch, or a more elongated shape when the apparatus is to be used as a radiotelephone.
A radiotelephone microphone and a radiotelephone speaker are provided at respective opposite ends of the apparatus for simultaneous use adjacent the user's mouth and ear, respectively, when the apparatus is in the elongated radiotelephone configuration.
Further features of the invention, its nature and various advantages will be more apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
