【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、携帯電話等の携帯端末にカード状部材を装着する携帯端末に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
携帯電話等の携帯端末には、加入権、認証、安全措置等の種々の情報を入力するＩＣ内蔵のＳＩＭカードや、カメラ付携帯電話等で画像等を記憶するメモリーカードや、データ通信に使用するカード型のモデムや、無線ＬＡＮカード等のカード型の無線ユニット等の如き種々のカード状部材を装着するものがある。
【０００３】
このような携帯端末の第一例には、携帯端末本体の筺体に凹部を形成すると共に、凹部の内部上方側面にカード状部材を差し込むよう挿入空間を形成し、さらにバッテリを内装するバッテリ外殻を備えたものがある。携帯端末にＳＩＭカード等のカード状部材及びバッテリを装着する際には、初めにカード状部材を挿入空間に挿入してコネクタに接続し、次に、バッテリを内装したバッテリ外殻を凹部に配置してカード状部材及びバッテリを装着する。
【０００４】
また、携帯端末の第二例には、携帯端末本体に着脱自在なバッテリパックを備えると共に携帯端末本体のバッテリ対抗面にコネクタを設け、さらにバッテリパックにカード状部材用係止部を形成したものがある。携帯端末にＳＩＭカード等のカード状部材及びバッテリパックを装着する際には、初めにカード状部材をバッテリパックのカード状部材用係止部に挿入して装着し、次にバッテリバックを携帯端末本体に配置することによりカード状部材をコネクタに接続し、カード状部材及びバッテリを装着する。
【０００５】
さらに、携帯端末の第三例には、携帯端末本体の筺体に凹部を形成すると共に、凹部の内部上方側面に、ハウジングを介してカード状部材を差し込むよう挿入空間を形成し、さらに凹部を覆う蓋部を備えたものがある。携帯端末にＳＩＭカード等のカード状部材及びバッテリを装着する際には、初めにカード状部材をハウジングに保持し、次にカード状部材の長手方向が携帯端末の長手方向に向うよう、ハウジングと共にカード状部材を挿入空間に挿入し、続いてバッテリを凹部に配置し、蓋部を取り付けてカード状部材及びバッテリを装着する。ここで、カード状部材及びバッテリは、凹部及び挿入空間の位置を携帯端末の長手方向（縦方向）に配置することにより携帯端末本体の厚さ方向で干渉しないようになっている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、第一例及び第三例の携帯端末は、カード状部材の長手方向を携帯端末の長手方向に向けるようカード状部材を挿入すると共に、カード状部材及びバッテリを携帯端末の長手方向（縦方向）に並べて配置するため、携帯端末の長手方向の全長が長くなり、折り畳み形式の携帯端末には使用できないという問題があった。また、第一例及び第三例の携帯端末は、カード状部材を差し込む挿入空間の隙間が狭く、カード状部材を容易且つ確実に挿入することができないという問題があった。さらに、上記の第二例の携帯端末は、カード状部材及びバッテリを携帯端末本体の厚さ方向に並べて配置するため、カード状部材及びバッテリを収納する筺体が厚くなって携帯端末をコンパクトにすることができないという問題があった。
【０００９】
本発明は、斯かる実情に鑑みてなしたもので、折り畳み形式に使用し得る携帯端末を提供しようとするものである。
【００１０】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１に記載の発明は、バッテリを配置し得る凹部、及び該凹部から延在する隣接空間が設けられた筺体と、カード状部材を保持して前記凹部から前記隣接空間へ移動するよう前記筺体に対してスライド回転するとともに、前記カード状部材を係止する可動係止部を有するホルダとを備え、
該ホルダは、前記カード状部材の長手方向を前記筐体の短手方向に向けて前記カード状部材を前記隣接空間に収納するよう構成されており、
前記可動係止部は、前記凹部にて前記筐体の内方に向かって押下げ可能であるとともに、
前記凹部の底面の一部である支持面は、前記可動係止部の押下げに伴い湾曲可能に構成されていることを特徴とする携帯端末、に係るものである。
【００１１】
請求項２に記載の発明は、前記ホルダは、前記凹部で前記カード状部材の長手方向を前記筐体の長手方向に合わせるよう前記カード状部材を保持し、且つスライド回転により前記隣接空間へ移動して前記カード状部材の長手方向を前記筐体の短手方向に略平行に合わせるよう前記カード状部材を前記隣接空間に収納する請求項１記載の携帯端末、に係るものである。
【００１２】
請求項３に記載の発明は、前記凹部は、前記ホルダを前記隣接空間で係止するストッパを備えた請求項１または請求項２に記載の携帯端末、に係るものである。
【００１３】
請求項４に記載の発明は、前記隣接空間を前記筺体の隙間として形成した請求項１乃至請求項３のいずれかに記載の携帯端末、に係るものである。
【００１４】
請求項５に記載の発明は、前記カード状部材の挿入後に、前記支持面及び前記可動係止部が押下げ前の状態に戻ることで、前記ホルダのカード状部材の挿入部分が塞がれる請求項１乃至請求項４のいずれかに記載の携帯端末、に係るものである。
【００１６】
携帯端末の筺体にカード状部材及びバッテリを装着する際には、カード状部材をホルダに保持し、ホルダをスライド回転により凹部から隣接空間へ移動させ、カード状部材の長手方向を携帯端末の短手方向に向けるようカード状部材を隣接空間に収納する。さらに、凹部にバッテリを配置して装着する。
【００１７】
このように、カード状部材の長手方向を携帯端末の短手方向に向けてカード状部材を隣接空間に収納するので、カード状部材の長手方向の長さが携帯端末の長手方向の全長に影響を与えることがなく、結果的に、携帯端末の長手方向の全長を短縮化して折り畳み形式の携帯端末に適用することができる。また、凹部に位置するホルダにカード状部材を取り付けてホルダのスライド回転により隣接空間にカード状部材を配置し得るので、隣接空間が狭い場合であっても、カード状部材を隣接空間へ容易且つ確実に挿入することができる。さらに、カード状部材とバッテリを携帯端末の厚さ方向でなく、携帯端末の長手方向に並べて配置するため、カード状部材及びバッテリを収納する筺体の厚さを抑制し、結果的に携帯端末をコンパクトにすることができる。
【００１８】
また、ホルダは、凹部でカード状部材の長手方向を携帯端末の長手方向に合わせるようカード状部材を保持するので、カード状部材をホルダに迅速に取り付けて隣接空間に一層容易に配置することができる。さらに、ホルダのスライド回転により隣接空間へ移動してカード状部材の長手方向を携帯端末の短手方向に略平行に合わせるようカード状部材を隣接空間に収納するので、携帯端末の長さを一層短縮化し、折り畳み形式の携帯端末に好適に適用することができる。
【００１９】
また、ホルダがカード状部材を係止する係止部を備えるので、カード状部材を安定して保持することができる。さらに、凹部に対して位置出しをする位置決定部を備えるので、ホルダを凹部の所定位置に確実に配置し、カード状部材をホルダに容易且つ迅速に取り付けることができる。
【００２０】
また、凹部が、カード状部材を着脱可能にするようホルダの係止部を可動し得る支持面を備えるので、カード状部材をホルダに一層容易に安定して取り付けることができる。
【００２１】
また、請求項３に記載の発明では、凹部は、ホルダを隣接空間で係止するストッパを備えるので、ホルダを介してカード状部材を隣接空間に安定して装着することができる。
【００２２】
また、請求項４に記載の発明では、隣接空間を携帯端末の筺体の隙間として形成するので、カード状部材に対する蓋状部材を不要にし、製造コストを低減することができる。
【００２３】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明による携帯端末について、図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
【００２４】
図１〜図１０は本発明の携帯端末の一例を示すもので、携帯端末は、折り畳んだ際の内側に画面表示部を備えた筺体の表示部（図示せず）と、折り畳んだ際の内側に入力キーを備えた筺体の操作部１とで構成されている。
【００２５】
携帯端末の筺体の操作部１は、内部に基板２等を挟み込んで配置するよう入力キー側のフロントケース３と外面側のリアケース４で形成されており、リアケース４には底面５と外周壁６から形成されてバッテリ（図示せず）を収納しえる凹部７と、アンテナ側の上部を覆う上側外面８と、凹部７を覆い得る蓋部（図示せず）とを備えている。また、凹部７の底面５には、外周壁６に隣接して位置するよう、コの字状の切込みを形成してリアケース４の厚さ方向に湾曲し得る支持面９を備えており、凹部７の外周壁６には、上側外面８の近傍に位置するよう、外周壁６より分岐して上側外面８に向かう凸状のストッパ１０を形成している。
【００２６】
リアケース４の上側外面８と基板２の間には、凹部７から延在する所定の隙間の隣接空間１１を備えており、隣接空間１１には、基板２にボルト１２を介して固定される平板状の台座１３と、リアケース４及び台座１３に対してスライド回動し得るホルダ１４とを備えている。
【００２７】
台座１３は、隅部に貫通孔１５を有して突出する筒部１６を備えており、ホルダ１４は、台座１３の筒部１６に外嵌し得るよう長手方向の先端部（短手方向の側部）にガイド孔１７を形成すると共に、ガイド孔１７の隣接位置にボルト孔１８を備えており、ホルダ１４の底面５の周囲には、カード状部材Ｃの長手方向の両側及びガイド孔１７側の端部に位置するよう側壁１９を形成し、カード状部材Ｃの長手方向の両側に位置する側壁１９には、上方よりカード状部材Ｃを押さえ得る係止部２０を延在し、カード状部材Ｃの反ガイド孔１７側の端部には、リアケース４の支持面９に対応してホルダ１４の厚さ方向へ上下動し得る可動係止部２１を備えている。ここで、カード状部材Ｃの長手方向の側壁１９であってリアケース４の外周壁６に向かう一側には、側壁１９を反ガイド孔１７側に延在して形成する位置決定部２２を備えている。
【００２８】
また、ホルダ１４の底面５には、表面に露出するカード状部材Ｃのコネクタ部２３を備えており、コネクタ部２３には、ホルダ１４のガイド孔１７及び台座１３の筒部１６に挿入して基板２のコネクタ２４に接続し得るワイヤ部２５を備えている。さらに、ホルダ１４のガイド孔１７の上部には、台座１３の筒部１６を被うようワイヤカバー２６を配置してボルト２７により固定し、ワイヤカバー２６にはホルダ１４のガイド孔１７と略同軸の回転孔２８を形成し、ワイヤカバー２６の回転孔２８には、リアケース４の上側外面８に形成された軸部（図示せず）を回転可能に軸支させている。
【００２９】
以下、本発明の携帯端末を実施する形態例の作用を説明する。
【００３０】
携帯端末でカード状部材Ｃ及びバッテリ（図示せず）を収納する際には、初めにホルダ１４の位置決定部２２をリアケース４の外周壁６に当接させてホルダ１４の長手方向が携帯端末の長手方向に略平行になるようホルダ１４を配置し、次に、図８に示す如く、可動係止部２１をリアケース４内方に向かって押すことにより支持面９を湾曲させて可動係止部２１を押し下げ、ホルダ１４にカード状部材Ｃをスライド挿入してカード状部材Ｃとカード状部材用のコネクタ部２３を接続し、支持面９及び可動係止部２１を元の形状に戻してホルダ１４の挿入部分を塞ぐ。続いて、図９、図１０に示す如く、ホルダ１４をリアケース４の軸部（図示せず）でスライド回転させることにより、ホルダ１４を隣接空間１１の隙間へ移動させて挿入し、ホルダ１４をストッパ１０により固定してカード状部材Ｃの長手方向を携帯端末の短手方向に略平行に合わせるよう収納する。ここで、ホルダ１４にカード状部材Ｃを挿入した際には、ホルダ１４の係止部２０が、カード状部材Ｃを上方より押さえて保持すると共に、ホルダ１４の側壁がカード状部材Ｃのズレを防いでいる。
【００３１】
カード状部材Ｃを隣接空間１１に収納した後には、リアケース４の凹部７にバッテリ（図示せず）を配置して蓋部（図示せず）を取り付け、カード状部材Ｃ及びバッテリの装着を完了する。
【００３２】
一方、携帯端末でカード状部材Ｃ及びバッテリを取り外す際には、逆の手順で行い、初めに、蓋部を取り外した後にバッテリを外す。次に、ホルダ１４の位置決定部２２の端部を爪等により引っ掛けてホルダ１４を隣接空間１１の隙間から引き出して展開し、ホルダ１４の位置決定部２２をリアケース４の外周壁６に当接させて、ホルダ１４の可動係止部２１を凹部７の支持面９に配置する。続いて、可動係止部２１を押し下げ、ホルダ１４からカード状部材Ｃを引き出して取り出す。ここで、ホルダ１４の位置決定部２２の下端は、ホルダ１４の引出を容易に為しえるよう突出部分を形成すると共に、先端部を鋭角にすることが好ましい。
【００３３】
以上のように、カード状部材Ｃの長手方向を携帯端末の短手方向に向けてカード状部材Ｃを隣接空間１１に収納するので、カード状部材Ｃの長手方向の長さが携帯端末の長手方向の全長に影響を与えることがなく、結果的に、携帯端末の長手方向の全長を短縮化して折り畳み形式の携帯端末に適用することができる。また、凹部７に位置するホルダ１４にカード状部材Ｃを取り付けてホルダ１４のスライド回転により隣接空間１１にカード状部材Ｃを配置し得るので、隣接空間１１が狭い場合であっても、カード状部材Ｃを隣接空間１１へ容易且つ確実に挿入することができる。さらに、カード状部材Ｃとバッテリを携帯端末の厚さ方向でなく、携帯端末の長手方向に並べて配置するため、カード状部材Ｃ及びバッテリを収納する筺体の厚さを抑制し、結果的に携帯端末をコンパクトにすることができる。
【００３４】
そして、凹部７でカード状部材Ｃの長手方向を携帯端末の長手方向に合わせるようカード状部材Ｃを保持するので、カード状部材Ｃをホルダ１４に迅速に取り付けて隣接空間１１に一層容易に配置することができる。また、ホルダ１４のスライド回転により隣接空間１１へ移動してカード状部材Ｃの長手方向を携帯端末の短手方向に略平行に合わせるようカード状部材Ｃを隣接空間１１に収納するので、携帯端末を一層短縮化し、折り畳み形式の携帯端末に好適に適用することができる。
【００３５】
さらに、ホルダ１４がカード状部材Ｃを係止する係止部２０を備えるので、カード状部材Ｃを安定して保持することができる。また、凹部７に対して位置出しをする位置決定部２２を備えるので、ホルダ１４を凹部７の所定位置に確実に配置し、カード状部材Ｃをホルダ１４に容易且つ迅速に取り付けることができる。
【００３６】
また、凹部７が、カード状部材Ｃを着脱可能にするようホルダ１４の係止部２０を可動し得る支持面９を備えるので、カード状部材Ｃをホルダ１４に一層容易に安定して取り付けることができる。
【００３７】
また、凹部７は、ホルダ１４を隣接空間１１で係止するストッパ１０を備えるので、ホルダ１４を介してカード状部材Ｃを隣接空間１１に安定して装着することができる。
【００３８】
しかも、隣接空間１１を携帯端末の筺体の隙間として形成するので、カード状部材Ｃに対する蓋状部材を不要にし、製造コストを低減することができる。
【００３９】
尚、本発明の携帯端末は、上述の図示例にのみ限定されるものではなく、ホルダをスライド回転させて隙間に収納し得るならば、ホルダや筺体の形状を変形してもよいこと、その他、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々変更を加え得ることは勿論である。
【００４０】
【発明の効果】
以上、説明したように本発明の携帯端末によれば、折り畳み形式の筺体構造を有する携帯端末に好適であることはもちろん、スライド形式の筺体構造など各種形式に適用し得るようカード状部材を隣接空間へ容易且つ確実に挿入することができる。

When storing the card-like member C and the battery (not shown) in the portable terminal, first, the position determining portion 22 of the holder 14 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral wall 6 of the rear case 4 so that the longitudinal direction of the holder 14 is portable. The holder 14 is disposed so as to be substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the terminal. Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the movable locking portion 21 is pushed inward of the rear case 4 to bend the support surface 9 and move. The locking portion 21 is pushed down, the card-like member C is slid into the holder 14 to connect the card-like member C and the card-like connector portion 23, and the support surface 9 and the movable locking portion 21 are restored to their original shapes. Return to close the insertion part of the holder 14. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the holder 14 is slid and rotated by the shaft portion (not shown) of the rear case 4, thereby moving the holder 14 into the gap in the adjacent space 11 and inserting the holder 14. Is fixed by the stopper 10 and stored so that the longitudinal direction of the card-like member C is substantially parallel to the short direction of the portable terminal. Here, when the card-like member C is inserted into the holder 14, the locking portion 20 of the holder 14 holds the card-like member C from above, and the side wall of the holder 14 is displaced from the card-like member C. Is preventing.
[0031]
After the card-like member C is stored in the adjacent space 11, a battery (not shown) is disposed in the recess 7 of the rear case 4 and a lid (not shown) is attached, and the card-like member C and the battery are attached. Complete.
[0032]
On the other hand, when removing the card-like member C and the battery with the portable terminal, the procedure is reversed. First, after removing the lid, the battery is removed. Next, the end portion of the position determining portion 22 of the holder 14 is hooked with a nail or the like, and the holder 14 is pulled out from the gap in the adjacent space 11 and deployed, and the position determining portion 22 of the holder 14 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral wall 6 of the rear case 4. The movable locking portion 21 of the holder 14 is disposed on the support surface 9 of the concave portion 7 so as to come into contact therewith. Subsequently, the movable locking portion 21 is pushed down, and the card-like member C is pulled out from the holder 14 and taken out. Here, it is preferable that the lower end of the position determining portion 22 of the holder 14 is formed with a protruding portion so that the holder 14 can be easily pulled out, and the tip end portion has an acute angle.
[0033]
As described above, since the card-like member C is stored in the adjacent space 11 with the longitudinal direction of the card-like member C directed in the short direction of the mobile terminal, the length of the card-like member C in the longitudinal direction is the length of the mobile terminal. The overall length in the direction is not affected, and as a result, the overall length in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal can be shortened and applied to a folding mobile terminal. Further, since the card-like member C can be attached to the holder 14 located in the recess 7 and the card-like member C can be arranged in the adjacent space 11 by the sliding rotation of the holder 14, even if the adjacent space 11 is narrow, the card-like member The member C can be easily and reliably inserted into the adjacent space 11. Further, since the card-like member C and the battery are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal, not in the thickness direction of the mobile terminal, the thickness of the casing that houses the card-like member C and the battery is suppressed, and as a result The terminal can be made compact.
[0034]
And since the card-like member C is hold | maintained so that the longitudinal direction of the card-like member C may match with the longitudinal direction of a portable terminal in the recessed part 7, a card-like member C can be quickly attached to the holder 14, and it arrange | positions in the adjacent space 11 more easily can do. Further, since the card-like member C is accommodated in the adjacent space 11 so as to move to the adjacent space 11 by the slide rotation of the holder 14 so that the longitudinal direction of the card-like member C is substantially parallel to the short direction of the portable terminal, the portable terminal Can be further shortened, and can be suitably applied to a folding portable terminal.
[0035]
Furthermore, since the holder 14 includes the locking portion 20 that locks the card-like member C, the card-like member C can be stably held. Moreover, since the position determination part 22 which positions with respect to the recessed part 7 is provided, the holder 14 can be arrange | positioned reliably in the predetermined position of the recessed part 7, and the card-shaped member C can be attached to the holder 14 easily and rapidly.
[0036]
Moreover, since the recessed part 7 is provided with the support surface 9 which can move the latching | locking part 20 of the holder 14 so that the card-shaped member C can be attached or detached, the card-shaped member C can be attached to the holder 14 more easily and stably. Can do.
[0037]
Moreover, since the recessed part 7 is equipped with the stopper 10 which latches the holder 14 in the adjacent space 11, the card-like member C can be stably mounted in the adjacent space 11 via the holder 14.
[0038]
Moreover, since the adjacent space 11 is formed as a gap between the casings of the mobile terminal, a lid-like member for the card-like member C is not necessary, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0039]
Note that the portable terminal of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example described above, and the holder and the casing may be deformed as long as the holder can be slid and rotated to be stored in the gap. Of course, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
