Description of the Related Art As a portable personal information communication terminal device, there is a portable telephone capable of transmitting and receiving a call at a carrying destination. In recent years, not only such telephone communication but also various functions such as mail communication and Internet communication are provided. It has been added and has become very useful, and has become widespread and rapidly spreading. Such a mobile phone is provided with an operation unit on which a numeric keypad and function buttons are arranged, together with a display screen. By operating the operation unit while viewing the display contents on the display screen, various functions as described above can be performed. Can be used.

FIG. 9 shows an example of such a conventional portable telephone. FIG. 9A is a front view, FIG. 9B is a right side view, 1 is a housing, 1F is a front case, 1R is a rear case, 1a is a front surface, 1b is a rear surface, 2 is a display screen, 3 is an operation unit, 3a is a numeric keypad, 3b is a function button, 4 is a transmitting / receiving antenna case, 4a is an antenna housing unit, and 5 is a speaker. , 6 are microphones.

In FIG. 9 (b), a housing 1 of the mobile phone is formed by integrating a front case 1F and a rear case 1R, and a front surface 1a, which is a surface of the front case 1F, has a front surface 1a. As shown in a), a display screen 2 and an operation unit 3 are provided, and a rear surface 1b, which is a surface of the rear case 1R, has a predetermined angle θ from an end of the rear surface 1b. An antenna storage part 4a made of plastic is formed so as to be inclined with respect to the surface 1b. A transmitting / receiving antenna (not shown) whose front end is covered by the transmitting / receiving antenna case 4 is stored in the antenna housing portion 4a.
By pulling and pulling, the transmitting / receiving antenna can be pulled out from the antenna housing portion 4a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9A, a speaker 5 and a microphone 6 used for performing telephone communication are provided on the front surface 1a. Therefore, when performing telephone communication, the front surface 1a is pressed against the effective ear of the user's head. In such a state, the antenna housing 4a and the transmitting / receiving antenna case 4, and The transmission / reception antenna housed in the antenna is inclined by a predetermined angle θ with respect to the rear surface 1b on the side opposite to the front surface 1a side, and the transmission / reception antenna is inclined away from the user's head.

In FIG. 9A, a front surface 1 is shown.
The operation unit 3a is provided with a plurality of numeric keys 3a represented by hatching and a plurality of function buttons 3b represented by white.

[0007]

FIG. 9 (a)
When the transmitting / receiving antenna is tilted by an angle θ with respect to the rear surface 1b as shown in FIG. 1, when the mobile phone having such a configuration is placed on a desk or the like, the display screen 2 and the operation unit 3 usually face upward. As shown in FIG. 10, the transmitting / receiving antenna case 4 touches the desk 100 or becomes very close without touching,
Therefore, the transmitting / receiving antenna is also very close to the surface of the desk 100. In this way, the transmitting and receiving antenna is
When it is close to the plane of 0, the reception state of the transmitting / receiving antenna is affected by the plane of the desk 100 or the like.

In order to avoid this, as one method, it is conceivable to provide a protruding portion on the antenna housing portion 4a so as to keep the transmitting / receiving antenna as far as possible from the surface of the desk 100 or the like. Since the portion 4a is formed integrally with the rear case 1b, the projection forming a part is generally formed integrally with the antenna housing portion 4a and the rear case 1b.
When placed on top of the desk 100
Because it comes into contact with the upper surface, this projection will be damaged while being placed many times, impairing the function as a projection, and the peeling of the paint etc. will become severe, and even on the aesthetic surface,
This is undesirable.

As another method, the thickness of the transmitting / receiving antenna case 4 is kept as it is, and
May be made thicker. When the antenna housing 4a is made thicker, when the mobile phone is placed on the desk 100, the antenna housing 4a becomes thicker.
The transmitting / receiving antenna case 4 is lifted from the surface of the desk 100, and the transmitting / receiving antenna is separated from the surface of the desk 100. However, as the antenna housing 4a is made thicker, the capacity of the entire device becomes larger and the weight becomes heavier. This is not preferable for a mobile phone in which the entire device is becoming smaller and lighter, and increasing the thickness of the antenna housing 4a provided partially with respect to the entire device is not desirable. It is not preferable in terms of overall balance and aesthetics.

A first object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, eliminate the need for providing additional means such as projections on existing members, and reduce the size, weight, and balance of the entire apparatus. In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile phone in which a transmitting / receiving antenna when placed on a desk or the like can be further separated from the desk or the like.

FIG. 9A shows a conventional portable telephone.
As shown in FIG. 2, the operation buttons 3a and 3b of the operation unit 3 are arranged substantially in the horizontal direction, and there are various shapes of the operation buttons, but they are formed to extend substantially in the arrangement direction. . On the other hand, the user holds the housing 1 of the mobile phone with one hand, and uses the thumb of the same hand to operate the operation buttons 3a, 3a.
Perform the operation of b. Then, various operation buttons 3a, 3b
Therefore, the thumb is tilted at various angles according to the button to be operated. When operating an operation button away from the display screen 2 such as the numeric keypad 3a, the direction in which the thumb points and the extension direction of the shape of the operation button substantially coincide with each other. The closer the button is to the display screen 2, the greater the difference between the tilt direction of the thumb and the extension direction of the shape of the operation buttons 3a and 3b. In such a case, the thumb with the operation button to be operated with the thumb The swing area becomes small, and the operation becomes difficult.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a wireless telephone which can solve such a problem and can improve the operability of operation buttons.
