  A folding mobile phone will be described as an example of the mobile terminal device of the present invention. In the mobile phone of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an upper housing 105 having a display window 104 and a lower housing 110 having operation keys, operation buttons, and the like are connected by a hinge portion or the like. A foldable mobile phone (hereinafter referred to as a mobile phone). 1 shows a state in which the upper housing 105 and the lower housing 110 are closed, and the right diagram in FIG. 1 (hereinafter, the right diagram) shows The upper housing | casing 105 and the lower housing | casing 110 are shown in the open state.

  In the mobile phone of this embodiment, the decorative cover 101 shown in the left diagram of FIG. 1 is detachable from the mobile phone body (in this embodiment, the back surface of the upper housing 105). This decorative cover 101 is a substantially rectangular plate-like member, and its surface is provided with various designs such as patterns, pictures, designs, etc., and is generally spread as a “dressing cover (panel)” It is what you are doing. In the present embodiment, a cleaner 103 for wiping off dirt such as a display window (display unit) 104 such as a display is provided on the back surface of the decorative cover 101. Further, as shown in the left diagram of FIG. 1 and the upper diagram of FIG. 2 (hereinafter referred to as the upper diagram), attachment claws 107 as projections are provided on the four corners on the back surface of the decorative cover 101. .

  The cleaner 103 is made of a material that adsorbs sebum dirt such as non-woven fabric, sponge, felt, suede, woven fabric, cotton, etc., and the decorative cover 101 is attached via a holding member 106 such as double-sided tape, hook-and-loop fastener, and adhesive. Affixed to the back.

  On the other hand, as shown in the left diagram of FIG. 1, the back surface of the upper housing 105 of the mobile phone (the outer surface; the surface on which the display window 104 is provided is the inner surface) is a concave space. A storage unit 102 is provided. As shown in the left diagram of FIG. 1, the storage portion 102 has a recess 108 corresponding to the mounting claw 107 and a recess 109 corresponding to the cleaner 103, and a space corresponding to the shape of the decorative cover 101. It has become.

  Then, the four mounting claws 107 provided on the back surface of the decorative cover 101 are fitted into the recesses 108 provided in the storage portion 102, and the cleaner 103 provided on the back surface of the decorative cover 101 is recessed. By fitting to 109, the decorative cover 101 is stored in the storage unit 102. That is, the surface of the decorative cover 101 is integrated with the back surface of the upper housing 105, and the cleaner 103 is housed in the upper housing 105.

  When the display window 104 becomes dirty, the user removes the decorative cover 101 from the upper housing 105 and applies the cleaner 103 provided on the back surface thereof to the surface of the display window 104 to wipe off the dirt. At this time, as shown in the right diagram of FIG. 1, the attachment claw 107 is engaged with a position along the outer shape of the upper housing 105 to function as a sliding guide for the decorative cover 101. With this guide structure, the cleaner 103 can be moved up and down (in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure) on the display window 104, so that the display window 104 can be wiped easily and uniformly.

  Here, the guide structure will be described in more detail. As shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 2, attachment claws 107 are provided at the four corners on the back surface of the decorative cover 101. The distance between the claws of the mounting claws 107 is larger than the width 202 of the upper housing 105 of the mobile phone. As described above, when the display window 104 is wiped off by the cleaner 103, these mounting claws 107 function as alignment with the outer shape of the upper housing 105 and as a sliding guide.
