DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable information terminal such as a pager.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a portable information terminal device such as a pager, a device main body, a chain as a string-like body partially engaged with the device main body, and another portion of the chain are engaged with the chain. And a clip as an engaging body.

[0003]

In such a portable information terminal device, only portability is emphasized, and when not carried, the portable information terminal device is kept on a desktop or suspended at an arbitrary place using a chain. Etc., only the unattended form could be selected. For this reason, it has been considered that the apparatus main body is to be left standing in an upright state in order to give a wider range to the unattended state when not carrying. However, if the projection serving as a stand is provided on the apparatus main body, the apparatus main body becomes large, and if the retractable stand is provided, the number of parts of the apparatus main body increases and the assembly cost increases. Also, when a separate detachable stand is provided, there is a concern that the number of parts of the apparatus body increases and the stand is lost. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to set the apparatus main body upright in a non-portable state without causing an increase in the size of the apparatus main body, an increase in the number of parts in the apparatus main body, an increase in assembly cost in the apparatus main body, a loss of parts, and the like. It is to provide a portable information terminal device capable of performing the above.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a portable information terminal device according to the present invention comprises an apparatus main body, a string partially engaged with the apparatus main body, and a cord-like body. A portable information terminal device having an engaging body engaged with another part thereof, wherein the device main body has a locking portion for locking the engaging body so that the device main body can be erected and supported. Is provided,
The engaging body is a clip, and the locking portion is sandwiched by the clip. This allows
By locking the engaging body engaged with the string-like body to the locking portion, the engaging body can support the apparatus main body in an upright position. As described above, the apparatus main body can be installed in an upright state using the engaging body engaged with the other part of the string-shaped body partially engaged with the apparatus main body, so that the apparatus main body is large-sized. Therefore, the number of components in the apparatus main body does not increase, and further, the assembly cost in the apparatus main body does not increase, and in addition, parts are not lost. Moreover, since the engaging body is locked by the locking portion of the apparatus main body, the engaging body does not shift with respect to the apparatus main body in the upright supporting state. In addition, since a clip for attaching the device main body to a bag or the like when carrying the device is held by the locking portion, the device main body can be left standing in an upright state. ,
An increase in size, an increase in the number of parts, an increase in assembly costs, and the like do not occur.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First Embodiment of the portable information terminal device of the present invention.
The embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS.
The portable information terminal device according to the first embodiment is a pager, which is a pager body (apparatus body) 11 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole and a pager body 1.
One end (partly) of the mounting part 12 formed at one corner of one
Has a chain (string-like body) 13 connected (engaged), and a clip (engaged body) 14 connected (engaged) to the other end (the other part) of the chain 13. .

On the back surface 17 side of the pager body 11 opposite to the information display surface 16, there is formed a recess 18 which is recessed one step from the back surface 17, and the bottom surface of the recess 18 is located at an intermediate position in the height direction. A rib (locking portion) 19 protruding at a height that does not protrude from the back surface 17 is formed to extend in the width direction. When the clip 19 clamps the rib 19, the rib 19 locks the clip 14 so that the clip 14 does not shift.

Here, the position and the angle of the rib 19 can be determined by holding the rib 19 in a predetermined direction with the clip 14 and placing the rib 19 on a table as shown in FIG. 14 is the pager body 11,
The information display surface 16 is set to be supported in an upright state in which the information display surface 16 is slightly inclined upward by a predetermined angle.

As described above, by using the clip 14 engaged with the other end of the chain 13 having one end connected to the pager main body 11 as a simple stand, the pager main body 11 can be kept standing upright. Therefore, the size of the pager body 11 does not increase, the number of components in the pager body 11 does not increase, and the assembling cost of the pager body 11 does not increase. In addition, parts are not lost. Therefore, the pager main body 11 is in an upright state when the user is not carrying it without causing an increase in the size of the pager main body 11, an increase in the number of components in the pager main body 11, an increase in assembly cost in the pager main body 11, and a loss of components. Can be deferred.

In addition, since the clip 14 is locked by the rib 19 of the pager body 11, the clip 14 does not shift with respect to the pager body 11 in the upright supporting state. Therefore, the clip 14 can reliably support the pager body 11 in the upright state.

[0010] Moreover, since the pager body 11 can be kept upright by using the clip 14 as a stand, the apparatus equipped with the clip 14 requires a large size and a small number of parts. It does not cause an increase or an increase in assembly cost.

[0011]

As described above in detail, according to the portable information terminal device of the present invention, the engaging body engaged with the string-like body is locked by the locking portion, so that the engaging body is the main body of the device. Can be erected and supported. As described above, the apparatus main body can be installed in an upright state using the engaging body engaged with the other part of the string-shaped body partially engaged with the apparatus main body, so that the apparatus main body is large-sized. Therefore, the number of components in the apparatus main body does not increase, and further, the assembly cost in the apparatus main body does not increase, and in addition, parts are not lost. Therefore, the apparatus main body can be set up in a non-portable state without causing an increase in the size of the apparatus main body, an increase in the number of parts in the apparatus main body, an increase in assembly cost in the apparatus main body, a loss of parts, and the like.
In addition, since the engagement body is locked by the locking portion of the device main body,
In the standing support state, the engagement body does not shift with respect to the apparatus main body. Therefore, the engagement body can reliably support the apparatus main body in the upright state. In addition, since a clip for attaching the device main body to a bag or the like when carrying the device is held by the locking portion, the device main body can be left standing in an upright state. In addition, an increase in size, an increase in the number of parts, an increase in assembly cost, and the like do not occur.
