[0005]

The conventional controller with a holding mechanism has a holder fixed to a central portion of a controller case, holds a mobile phone in the holder, and plays a game using the controller with the holding mechanism. is there.

However, since the controller with the holding mechanism is a dedicated controller in which the shape of the holder is adapted to a specific mobile phone, there is no versatility, and the gap adjustment of the holding mechanism for application to mobile phones having various shapes. Could not.

Therefore, there arises a technical problem to be solved in order to enable adjustment of the holding gap of the controller with the holding mechanism, and an object of the present invention is to solve this problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a controller with a holding mechanism. The controller 11 with a holding mechanism has a controller case 12 having a substantially elliptical shape in a plan view. Key plates 13a and 13b are protrudingly provided. A four-way key 14 as a controller key is provided on the left key plate 13a, and the right key plate 13b is provided.
Button keys 15, 15, 1 as controller keys
5, 15 are provided. The right key plate 13b is slidably attached in the longitudinal direction of the controller case 12, and as shown in FIG. 2B, the controller case 12 fixed to the right key plate 13b. The inner plate 16 is pulled by a spring 17 as an elastic member, whereby the right key plate 13b is biased toward the center. That is, the left key plate 13a is a holding member for abutting one end of the held body, and the right key plate 13a
b is a sliding member, and the left key plate 13a and the right key plate 13b are also key holding members.

Further, the left and right key plates 13a, 13
As shown in FIG. 3, eccentric annular bodies 18, 1 formed by eccentrically forming the inner peripheral surface 18b with respect to the outer peripheral surface 18a are formed on the outer surface of the outer peripheral surface 18b.
8 are detachably fitted. The eccentric annular body 18,1
The eccentric annular body 1 is formed by changing the mounting direction.
The gap between 8 and 18 can be adjusted.

Incidentally, instead of the eccentric annular members 18, 18,
It is also possible to use a fitting body (not shown) formed by changing the width between the outer side surface and the inner side surface over the entire circumference, and the same effect as described above can be obtained by the fitting body.

In FIG. 1, the left and right key plates 1
Below the left and right key plates 13a, 13b,
Oscillating arms 19, 19 that oscillate with the vicinity of the center position of 13b as a fulcrum, are provided urged by a torsion spring (not shown). The ends of the swing arms 19, 19 protrude outward from the left and right key plates 13a, 13b, and holding rolls 20, 20 are disposed at the ends of the swing arms 19, 19, respectively. In the figure, reference numeral 21 denotes a connection terminal. The connection terminal 21 is fitted and locked in a concave portion 12a formed on the upper surface of the controller case 12.

Thus, the controller 1 with the holding mechanism
When a game or the like is performed using the game device 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connection terminal 21 is taken out from the recess 12a, and then the connection terminal 21 is a member to be held, and the game or the like is installed. After adjusting the gap between the eccentric annular members 18, 18 by selecting the mounting direction of the eccentric annular members 18, 18, the right key plate 13b is removed. The mobile phone 22 is slid to the right and held by swinging the swing arms 19, 19 in a direction to open each other, on the controller case 12 in the gap between the eccentric annular bodies 18, 18.
Is placed. When the holding of the right key plate 13b is released, the right key plate 13b slides in the tensioning direction of the spring 17, and the eccentric annular members 18, 18 press and hold the mobile phone 22.

When the holding of the swing arms 19, 19 is released, the swing arms 1 are moved by the torsion spring.
The holding rolls 20, 20 of the swinging arms 19, 19 hold the mobile phone 22 in pressure contact with each other.

Therefore, the portable telephone 22 is controlled by the eccentric annular members 18 and 18 and the holding rolls 20 and 20.
Since the point is supported, a stable holding state can be obtained.

In this state, a game or the like can be performed by operating the four-way key 14 of the left key plate 13a or the button keys 15, 15, 15, 15 of the right key plate 13b.

Thus, the controller 11 with the holding mechanism adjusts the gap between the eccentric annular members 18 by changing the mounting direction of the eccentric annular members 18 and 18 and then adjusts the clearance between the eccentric annular members 18 and 18. By sliding the plate 13b and swinging the swing arms 19, 19, mobile phones of various shapes can be held, and the holding mechanism can be generalized. In particular, the controller 11 with the holding mechanism can adjust the holding gap in two stages by the eccentric annular members 18 and the right key plate 13b, so that the versatility is enhanced.

Since the eccentric annular members 18 and 18 have a simple shape, they can be easily manufactured.

Further, the left and right key plates 13a, 13
b denotes the four-way key 14 and the button keys 15, 15, 1
The portable telephone 22 has a function as a key holding member, and functions as a holding mechanism of the mobile phone 22, so that the members can be shared.

The controller with the holding mechanism of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned portable telephone, but can be applied to portable equipment, and can also be applied to other held members. In this case, it is natural that the internal electronic circuit of the controller with the holding mechanism is switched in accordance with the portable telephone, the portable device, or the held member.

Further, the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the present invention extends to the modified ones.

[0022]

As described in detail in the above embodiment, the invention according to claim 1 is a controller with a holding mechanism, wherein the outer surface of the holding member and the outer surface of the sliding member are connected to the inner surface of the controller. Fitting bodies formed by changing the width between the side surfaces over the entire circumference are detachably mounted, and the holding gap of the held body between the fitting bodies is changed by changing the mounting direction of the fitting bodies. With this configuration, the holding member and the sliding member fitted with the fitting body can press and hold the held members of various shapes by the holding member and the sliding member, and the fitting body and the sliding member in two stages. Because the holding gap can be adjusted,
A wide variety of holding mechanisms can be achieved.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the fitting body is an eccentric annular body in which the inner peripheral surface is formed eccentric with respect to the outer peripheral surface. Because the shape of the body is simple, its manufacture is easy,
This is an invention that has an extremely great effect.
