Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to prevent fall and damage of a transmitter/ receiver by providing an extensible member, while connecting one end to a body side and the other end to a transmitter/receiver side for suppressing expansion of a curled cord within a specific range in the curled cord. SOLUTION: A transmitter/receiver 1 is arranged at a specified height in an almost vertical direction to a floor surface 2, a body 3 side and the transmitter/receiver 1 are connected with a curled cord 4, and an extensible member 5 of which one end is connected to the body 3 side and the other end is connected to the transmitter/receiver 1 side and which suppresses expansion of the curl code 4 within a specified range is provided in this curled cord 4. Then, the curled cord 4 is turned into a curl shape extensible, a speed at which it expands at the time of the transmitter/receiver 1 fall is slowed down, and the code is made to stop expanding when it expands to a certain length. As a means for that, a string-like extensible member 5 is put inside the curled cord 4, one end of this is connected to the body side, the other end is connected to the transmitter/receiver 1 and the phenomenon that the curl code 4 is expanded too much at the time of fall is regulated by the extensible member 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for preventing a telephone, a general telephone-type intercom, and a handset such as a nurse call installed in a hospital from falling and breaking.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a handset is connected to a main body via a curl cord.

As this type of handset, there is a handset which is detachably attached to a so-called wall-mounted main body.

FIG. 6 shows a state where a handset 1 attached to a nurse call main body 3 erected on a floor 2 is dropped, and the handset 1 is detached from the main body 3 when used. , May be accidentally dropped.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the curl cord 4 may extend and the handset 1 may hit the floor 2, and at that time, the handset 1 may be damaged. If the case of the handset 1 is cracked when it hits the floor, if it breaks the built-in diaphragm or board, it cannot be used. When the handset 1 is used for a nurse call used in a hospital, a seriously ill patient may be targeted or an emergency may occur. In such a case, if the handset 1 cannot be used, there is a problem.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to prevent a handset from falling or being damaged.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a handset 1 is provided.
Is disposed at a predetermined height substantially perpendicular to the floor surface 2, and the main body 3 and the handset 1 are connected by a curl cord 4, and one end of the curl cord 4 is connected to the main body 3. The above object is achieved by providing an elastic member 5 which is connected to the handset 1 and has the other end connected to the handset 1 and suppresses the expansion of the curl cord 4 within a predetermined range. Further, in the above, the range within the predetermined range is a range where the handset 1 does not hit the floor when dropped.
The elastic member 5 uses a rubber string.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Curled cords can be expanded and contracted because the cords are curled, but the extension is slowed down when the handset is dropped, or the extension is stopped when it is extended to a certain length. I have. As a means, a cord-like elastic member is put inside the curl cord, one end is connected to the main body side, the other end is connected to the handset, and the elasticity of the curl cord when falling is regulated by the elastic member. ing.

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a handset arranged at a predetermined height in a direction substantially perpendicular to the floor surface 2, reference numeral 3 denotes a body such as a nurse call having a transceiver 1, and reference numeral 4 denotes a body 3 and a handset 1 as well known. And the electrical,
It is a curl cord that is mechanically connected.

A feature of the present invention is that an elastic member 5 such as an elastic cord is inserted through the curl cord 4. FIG. 2 shows a partially enlarged view thereof. Thus, one end 5a side of the elastic member 5 faces the main body 3 and the other end 5a.
The b side is connected to the lower end of the casing 1a of the handset 1. In this case, since the elastic member 5 is provided in the curl cord 4, the appearance is good.

As means for connecting the elastic member 5, as shown in FIG. 3, one end 5a of the elastic member 5 may be passed through the hole a of the member A, and a knot 5c for preventing the end from coming off may be provided at the end. .
The same applies to the other end 5b. Alternatively, for example, a hook-shaped engaging portion (not shown) may be provided on the main body 3 side or the handset 1 side, and each end of the elastic member 5 may be connected thereto. Alternatively, as another example, the ends may be bonded. Further, other appropriate connections may be used.

As another example of the elastic member 5, for example, a nylon string can be used. Also, elasticity,
Other suitable materials may be used as long as they have durability and the like.

In use, as shown in FIG. 4, since the internal elastic member 5 has elasticity,
Can be easily extended, so that operability is not impaired. This elastic member 5 can be incorporated in a long curl cord such as an existing nurse call with handset.

Further, if the stretch of the elastic member 5 is set to be equal to or less than the distance to the floor, as shown in FIG. Range can be suppressed, and the damage can be prevented. Also, the electrical connection of the core wire of the curl cord 4 can be protected.

In the above embodiment, the application example of the nurse call has been described. However, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to other communication devices, for example, a wall-mounted telephone. The nurse call is provided in a hospital and is well known, and since its structure is not directly related to the gist of the present invention, the detailed description is omitted.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, the main body 3
Since the elastic member 5 for suppressing the elongation of the curl cord 4 within a predetermined range is provided in the curl cord 4 connecting the side and the handset 1, the handset 1 does not hit the floor even when dropped. , Can be prevented from being damaged.
