DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable radio,
More particularly, the present invention relates to a portable wireless device having a flip portion provided detachably.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, one of portable radio apparatuses, for example, a mobile phone or a personal handy phone system (so-called P
The general housing shape of HS) includes a long bow-shaped integrated housing and a housing having a lid-like flip portion that covers the whole or a part of the portable wireless device main body. Mobile phones and PHS
If only the long, bow-shaped integrated housing is used, the size of the housing is reduced, so that the position of the transmitting unit is located away from the mouth of the human body. In the case of the portable radio having the above structure, the transmitting part of the lid-like flip part is extended to the vicinity of the mouth of the human body, so that the uttered sound is easily transmitted to the transmitting part, and the communication quality can be improved.

[0003] Further, as a housing shape of a conventional portable radio, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-115379, a battery pack mounting mount is provided on a side portion of the portable radio, and the portable radio is mounted. There is known a battery pack in which a battery pack is detachably installed.

[0004]

However, in recent years, mobile phones and PHS have been used not only outdoors but also indoors in place of home fixed phones. When the PHS is used outdoors, a small and lightweight housing is required as much as possible. On the other hand, when the PHS is used indoors, the communication quality is good and the same performance as a fixed telephone is required.

[0005] However, as described above, in an integrated housing such as a mobile phone or a PHS, there is a problem of deterioration in speech quality because the transmitting unit and the human mouth are separated from each other. In addition, mobile phones and PHSs are required to be further miniaturized in order to improve portability. Therefore, mobile phones and PHS
Are increasingly miniaturized, and the transmitting section is becoming more and more distant from the mouth of the human body. Therefore, while a mobile phone with a lid-like flip portion is required, reducing the weight of the lid-like flip portion attached to the mobile phone has become an increasingly important issue.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. By opening and closing a lid-like flip part which can be freely opened and closed on a portable radio, the present invention has been made.
When carrying the device outdoors, the lid-shaped flip portion is removed to reduce the size. When the device is used indoors, the portable wireless device with the lid-shaped flip portion ensures the communication quality, so that the size and the communication quality can be improved. An object is to provide a portable wireless device.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a portable radio having an external interface connector connected to an external device, wherein a lid-like flip portion having a transmitting section is connected to the external interface connector. The portable wireless device is detachably connected to the main body of the portable wireless device via the connector, and is used in both a state where the lid-shaped flip portion is connected and a state where the lid-shaped flip portion is not connected.

According to the present invention, the cover flip is detachably attached to the portable wireless device, so that the cover flip can be removed outdoors to reduce the size, and the portable telephone can be used indoors as a portable wireless device with the cover flip. A portable wireless device that can ensure quality is obtained.
