Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handset storing structure for use in telephones, intercoms, etc., which can be used by people who are blind.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art What is done for visually impaired people with conventional telephones and the like is to provide a small projection on the dial button "5" and to receive sound volume for persons with hearing impairment. It was about having a function button of increase.

[0003]

Heretofore, there have been many cases where a visually impaired person uses a telephone. Even if a home phone can be used without difficulty due to familiarity, it is difficult to use a phone that is not normally used on the go. In addition, if this is to receive guidance on the operation of the installation device such as a bank, it is not easy to find the place where the handset is placed after use, and the handset after use is securely placed on the place. It was difficult to return to.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a handset storing structure that allows a telephone user to use a telephone while minimizing difficulty even when the user is blind.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve this object, the configuration of the present invention is as follows. (1) A handset placed on a handset mounting part, and a handset that is rotatable with respect to the handset from a longitudinal direction to a downward direction when placed on the handset mounting part. , A rotatable adapter attached to the end of the transmitter, a cord connector rotatably provided with a modular plug for connection and engagement with the modular jack of the rotatable adapter, and a cord disposed at the opposite end to the modular plug A handset assembly including a handset cord provided with a modular plug that fits into a modular jack of a connector, and a handset cord winding portion provided inside the handset mounting portion, wherein the handset code is pulled in. And a cord receiver accommodating portion for accommodating a cord connector to be drawn in under the transmitter / receiver receiver in conjunction therewith.

[0006]

When a visually impaired person uses a telephone equipped with the handset housing structure of the present invention, the call is terminated and the handset is returned to the handset base simply by placing the handset inside the handset base. By placing the handset in a place guided by the pulling force of the handset cord by the cord storage unit, the handset is stored in a proper place. Furthermore, the twisting of the handset cord is eliminated by the rotating adapter.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is a view showing a handset assembly and a handset storage structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a handset cord is partially omitted. FIG. 2 shows a rotation adapter.
FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of the cord connection device. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the handset mounting portion. 1 (1) is a front view of a handset assembly with a handset cord omitted, FIG. 1 (2) is a side view of the handset assembly with a handset cord omitted, and FIG. 1 (3) is a handset code. Bottom view of the handset assembly omitted, FIG. 1 (4)
Is a side view of the handset assembly with the handset cord partially omitted and the turning adapter turned, and FIG. 1 (5) shows the handset placed by turning the turning adapter. FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view at the center showing a transmitter / receiver storage structure when the transmitter / receiver is placed on a unit. FIG. 2A is an enlarged side view of the rotary adapter, and FIG. 2A is an enlarged view A- of the rotary adapter 2 attached to the handset 1.
A sectional view 1 is a handset, 2 is a rotary adapter, 3 is a cord connection device,
4 is a handset cord, 5 is a handset mounting part, 51 is a cord connector housing part, and 6 is a handset cord winding part.

First, the rotation adapter 3 will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numerals 21 and 21A denote pivot shafts which can be turned by more than 90 degrees with respect to the handset 1. A cord from inside the handset 1 is arranged in the hollow portion of the rotating shaft 21 and is electrically connected to the contact of the modular jack 22 of the rotating adapter.

The cord connector 4 will be described with reference to FIG. A modular jack 32 is provided at one end of the cord connector body 31, and a modular plug 33 is rotatably attached to the other end. Electrically, one of the modular plug 33 and the modular jack 32 has circular contacts, so that even when the modular plug 33 rotates, the contacts are always electrically connected.

FIG. 4 shows a transmitter / receiver receiver 5 provided with a rotary adapter storage 51. 54 is a hook switch. FIG. 1 (5) is a side view showing a partial cross-section of the handset assembly mounted on the handset mounting portion 5, in which a handset cord winding portion 6 is provided inside the handset mounting portion 5. is set up. These are installed in various operation terminals used in banks and the like. A hole 52 through which the handset cord 4 passes is formed at the lower end of the cord connector housing 51. When the handset cord 4 is retracted by the handset cord take-up section 6, the cord connector 3 hits the bottom plate around the hole 52 and the movement of the handset cord 4 is stopped. Further, the hole 52 is covered with a film 53 so that dust and foreign matter do not enter the cord winding portion 6 of the handset. A cut is made at the center of the membrane 53 so that only the handset cord 4 can pass through.

Next, a method of using the telephone will be described. When a person who uses the telephone comes in front of the operation terminal in which the telephone is installed, a message is sent from a speaker built in the operation terminal to request that the position of the handset and the handset 1 be picked up. Here, when the user picks up the handset 1 and puts it on the ear, the handset 1 first outputs a usage message. In this case, the handset code 4 is manually set by the user.
The handset 1 is lifted up against the winding force of the handset cord winding unit 6. Further, since the rotating adapter 2 attached to the handset 1 and the handset 1 are rotatably connected, the handset assembly is separated from the rotating adapter 2 and the handset 1 as shown in FIG. The orientation is close to vertical.

When the user unconsciously twists the handset 1 during use, there is a cord connector 3 between the rotary adapter 2 attached to the handset 1 and the handset cord 4. Since the modular plug of the cord connector 3 is rotated by the twist of the handset 1 by the cord connector 3, the handset cord 4 is not twisted much.

Next, when the user terminates the call or the like and lowers the handset 1 according to the attractiveness of the handset cord 4 by the handset cord take-up unit 6 in order to return the handset 1 to the handset receiver 5, the handset code The cord 4 is drawn into the hole 52 at the lower part of the cord connector housing 51, and the movement of the cord 4 is stopped by the end of the cord connector 3 hitting the bottom plate around the hole 52.

Here, the position of the transmitter side of the transmitter / receiver 1 is inevitably determined, so that the receiver side may be tilted forward and set slowly. Then, the handset receiver 5 guides the transmitter 1 to a desired location. The operation is completed as described above.

[0015]

According to the telephone of the present invention, even if the telephone is not normally used, the handset automatically guides the user to the storage area, and even if the handset is unintentionally rotated during use. Since the handset cord is prevented from being twisted, the visually impaired person can use it relatively easily.
