## Abstract

A clipping communication device includes a first clipping arm unit, a second clipping arm unit, an antenna module and a pivot unit. The first clipping arm unit includes a first force exerting portion and a first clipping portion. The second clipping arm unit has a second force exerting portion and a second clipping portion. The first force exerting portion is disposed corresponding to the second force exerting portion, and the first clipping portion is disposed corresponding to the second clipping portion. The antenna module is disposed in the first clipping arm unit. The pivot unit pivots on the first clipping arm unit and the second clipping arm unit.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A clipping communication device, comprising:
a first clipping arm unit having a first force exerting portion and a first clipping portion;
a second clipping arm unit having a second force exerting portion and a second clipping portion, wherein the first force exerting portion is disposed corresponding to the second force exerting portion and the first clipping portion is disposed corresponding to the second clipping portion;
an antenna module disposed in the first clipping arm unit; and
a pivot unit pivoting on the first clipping arm unit and the second clipping arm unit.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the pivot unit is disposed between the first force exerting portion and the first clipping portion, and the pivot unit is disposed between the second force exerting portion and the second clipping portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1 cooperated with an object, wherein when the first force exerting portion parts from the second force exerting portion, the first clipping portion approaches the second clipping portion to clip the object.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device according to claim 3, wherein the object is a casing.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the first clipping arm unit further comprises a first containing portion and the antenna module is disposed in the first containing portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)
