Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to a tape recorder that also serves as a telephone stand.

Conventionally, to record telephone calls using a tape recorder, prepare a telephone pickup, attach one end of this pickup to the telephone, and connect the other end to the microphone jack of the tape recorder. I try to record by standing next to my phone.

For this reason, such telephone recordings require a large space and may not be usable, especially in areas such as office desks, where a large amount of space cannot be spared for document processing.

Furthermore, if a tape recorder is placed near a telephone, it may interfere with the operation of the telephone, and the tape recorder may sometimes be accidentally dropped from the desk.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and by making the tape recorder case double as a telephone stand, the above-mentioned disadvantages could be eliminated, and in addition, the case could be rotated to improve its function as a telephone stand. The purpose is to provide a tape recorder that can perform

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The figure shows an example in which this invention is applied to a tape recorder with a radio.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a thin tape recorder case, and the case 1 has a flat upper surface and is formed on a mounting portion 1a of a telephone 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, this mounting portion 1a has a recess 3 corresponding to the foot of the telephone and a speaker hole 4 formed therein.

One end of the case 1 slightly protrudes in front of the telephone 2, and on this protrusion are arranged the operation buttons 6 of the tape recorder main body, the cassette loading chamber 7, and the recording microphone 8, as well as a tuning knob 9 and a tuning dial 10. and radio/tape recorder switch 1
1 are placed respectively.

Further, the other end of the case 1 is formed with an upright portion 1b against which the rear end surface of the telephone 2 comes into contact.

This standing portion 1b has a built-in telephone pickup coil 5 in the portion where the telephone comes into contact, so that the contents of the telephone call can be picked up and amplified.

This telephone pickup coil 5 is electrically connected to a tape recorder main body (not shown).

Further, the upright portion 1b has a built-in ferrite antenna 12 for radio reception.

On the other hand, the case 1 is made rotatable by a rotation mechanism shown in FIG.

That is, the case 1 is attached to the rotary plate 14 via the support legs 13.

This rotating plate 14 is rotatably supported by a shaft 15a of a rotating base 15.

In this case, a ball 16 is inserted between the rotary plate 14 and the base 15 to ensure smooth rotation of the rotary plate 14.

Further, the base 15 has a protruding wall 15b formed along its periphery, and a cutout groove 17 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the protruding wall 15b.

Then, a knob 18 is screwed onto the side wall of the case 1, and if necessary, the tip of the knob 18 is inserted into the notch groove 17 of the base 15.
By fitting into the case 1, rotation of the case 1 can be prevented.

The base 15 is provided with anti-slip feet 19 on the bottom surface in order to make the case 1 more comfortable to sit on.

However, according to such a configuration, a flat telephone mounting part is formed on the top surface of the tape recorder case, which also serves as a telephone stand, making it compact and inexpensive, which makes it suitable for telephone recording. The required space can be minimized, and restrictions on where it can be used can be greatly relaxed.

Furthermore, since the telephone is stacked on top of the tape recorder case, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of the tape recorder interfering with the operation of the telephone.

Furthermore, since the case is made rotatable by the rotating mechanism, it can function as a telephone stand even more efficiently, for example, making it convenient for one telephone to be used in common in many ways.

In addition, in the case of a radio equipped with a ferrite antenna that has particular directionality, as in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case can be surrounded in accordance with the direction of the broadcasting station and fixed at the optimal position, so it always works well. You can listen to the radio in this condition.

It should be noted that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be implemented with appropriate modifications without changing the gist.
