Mobile Phone Patent Abstract
An improved storage battery on a mobile phone is comprised of a
base housing, a cover housing, an electric circuit board, a set
of lithium batteries and a viewing window, wherein after closing
and assembling of the base and the cover housings, a receiving space
is formed therein for receiving the electric circuit board and the
lithium batteries. When the base housing is secured on the mobile
phone, electric energy provided by the lithium batteries will afford
operation of the mobile phone, and the lithium batteries can be
charged. A user can see directly through the viewing window provided
on either the base housing or the cover housing and made with an
acrylic plate to inspect the lithium batteries to prevent them from
being changed to common batteries.

Mobile Phone Patent Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to improvement of the storage battery
on a mobile phone, and especially to a storage battery which is
provided on the housing thereof with a viewing window in order that
a user can inspect whether lithium batteries are used, thereby eliminating
use of common batteries in lieu of the lithium batteries by an immoral
distributor so that poor influence on the life of use and electric
capacitance can be avoided.
2. Description of Related Art
It is well known that, the storage battery of a mobile phone is
quite expensive. This is mainly because of the use of lithium batteries
rather than common nickel cadmium or nickel hydrogen batteries in
the storage battery section of the mobile phone, and prices thereof
hence are much higher.
The difference between using lithium batteries and using of the
common nickel cadmium or nickel hydrogen batteries for the storage
battery resides in high electric capacitance of the lithium batteries,
and the available hours of use of lithium batteries when they are
charged in saturation which are at least triple in amount more than
that of common batteries. While lithium batteries have non-memory
effects, they need no discharging before charging, i.e., they are
ready for use and being charged at any time, so that they are more
convenient for use than the common batteries, and they are especially
suitable for use with higher mobility of a mobile phone.
The lithium batteries mentioned above are mounted in the housing
of a mobile phone. At the beginning of using thereof, no advantage
will be found, but when the power source in the mobile phone with
common batteries is exhausted after several hours of testing, then
it is found that the lithium batteries can still be used for quite
a long time. In purchasing, a customer normally does not wait for
several hours for testing the life of use of a battery, and in view
of this, some immoral distributors may change the lithium batteries
for some common batteries and get the benefit of the price difference
therebetween or make illegal money thereby. The interests of customers
thus are seriously exploited. Accordingly, it is necessary to improve
the structure of the storage battery on a conventional mobile phone.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
IN view of this, the inventor of the present invention provides
a novel structure for the storage battery on a mobile phone based
on his professional experience of years in manufacturing and selling
storage batteries for mobile phones, and after continuous study
and improvement, for eliminating disadvantages residing in the prior
art thereby protecting interests of customers.
In particular, improvement of the storage battery on a mobile phone
of the present invention is based mainly on the difference between
the lithium batteries and the common batteries, and a viewing device
is provided for inspection. For example, the size of a lithium battery
is different from those of the common No. 1 to No. 4 batteries sold
in the markets, and they can be seen to be longer with the eyes.
Besides the voltage of a lithium battery is higher, i.e., 3.6 v,
while that of the common batteries only is 1.2 v, so that substitution
of lithium batteries to render a mobile phone to activate temporarily,
three common batteries must be used and substituted for one lithium
battery (i.e., three 1.2 v common batteries are used substituting
for one lithium batter. Thus, the electrical capacitance thereof
is much less than that of the lithium battery), and by amount alone,
we can readily see which are better. The present invention provides
a viewing window at a suitable location on the housing of the storage
battery of a mobile phone, and by means of it, a user can directly
inspect the lithium batteries to see if they have been changed with
common batteries.
The primary object of the present invention therefore is to provide
an improvement for the storage battery of a mobile phone by way
of a viewing window provided at a suitable location on the housing
of the storage battery of the mobile phone, so that a user can directly
see if the lithium batteries have been changed for common batteries.
The second object of the present invention is to provide an improvement
for the storage battery of a mobile phone, so that the lithium batteries
therein can not be changed with common batteries by a seller, and
the manufacturer of the mobile phone will be in no way subject to
inquiries about the quality of the storage battery therein the quality
of the products can be guaranteed, and the reputation of the manufacturer
of the mobile phone can be protected.
The present invention will be apparent in its practical structure
and characteristics after reading the detailed description of the
preferred embodiments thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the conventional storage
battery on a mobile phone;
FIG. 2 is a partial exploded perspective view of the first embodiment
of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the second embodiment of the present
invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In FIG. 1, the structure of a typical storage battery for a mobile
phone is provided and is comprised of a base housing 10, a cover
housing 20, an electric circuit board 30 and a pair of lithium batteries
40. After closing and assembling of the base housing 10 and the
cover housing 20, a receiving space is formed therein for receiving
the electric circuit board 30 and the pair of lithium batteries
40. The storage battery with the base housing 10 as a leading side
can be inserted into a mounting room provided therefor in the mobile
phone to be electrically connected therewith. Electric energy from
the lithium batteries 40 will be supplied through the electric circuit
board 30 for operation of the mobile phone. When the lithium batteries
40 are to be charged, the storage battery can be taken off the mobile
phone, and then is secured in a charging device. By taking advantage
of the cover housing 20 and having the base housing 10 facing to
the outside, the lithium batteries 40 will then be charged with
electric power.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, improvement of the storage battery
for a mobile phone in the present invention is the structure provided
for the user to be able to inspect whether the lithium batteries
40 have been changed for common batteries. In view of the fact that
no matter whether the storage battery is to be mounted in the mobile
phone for use or is to be taken off for charging, either one of
the electric circuit board 30 and the cover housing 20 will face
to the outside, so that a viewing window 50 can be provided on the
base housing 10 or the cover housing 20 for inspection. The viewing
window 50 can be made with an acrylic plate embedded within an opening
60 provided in the base housing 10 (FIG. 2) or the cover housing
20 (FIG. 3). The opening 60 is importantly provided at a location
where the lithium batteries 40 can be seen when the base housing
10 and the cover housing 20 are closed and assembled together. In
this way, a user can see directly by inspection through the viewing
window 50 the lithium batteries 40 in the storage battery, and no
dismantling of the lithium batteries 40 is required for 15 inspection.
The providing of the viewing window 50 can also prevent an immoral
distributor from cheating and making illegal money at will by using
common batteries in lieu of the lithium batteries, so that interests
of customers can be guaranteed. Customers will in no way wonder
about the quality of the storage battery therein and the quality
of a mobile phone as well as question the reputation of the manufacturer
of the mobile phone.
