【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電話機の送受話器やコードレス電話機の子機、或いは電話機本体が送受話器となる携帯電話機等の筐体面に取り付けられる電話機用補助具、及び、送受話器や子機等の筐体面に電話機用補助具が取り付けられたコードレス電話機等の電話機、或いは携帯電話機等の電話機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、遠隔地の者と連絡を取るために家庭や仕事場等において電話機が広く用いられている。通常、電話機を使用する場合は、送受話器を片手で持って送話部と受話部を各々口と耳に当てなければならない。このとき、その通話の内容によっては、メモをとったり探し物をしたりするために両手を自由にすることが必要になることがある。このため、通常使用者は送話部と受話部を各々口と耳に当てながら送受話器の略中央部を頭部と肩部で挟持して両手を自由にしている。しかしながら、両手が自由になる一方で、使用者は送受話器を頭部と肩部で挟持しながら通話を継続するため、通話の間送受話器を落とさないように肩を上げて首を傾けるという無理な姿勢を維持しなければならず、非常に疲れたり肩や首が凝ったりするという不具合が生じていた。
【0003】
このような不具合を解消するために、特許文献1には電話機の送受話器に用いられる肩当てスベリ止めが開示されている。この肩当てスベリ止めは、クサビ型に形成され、底面に粘着剤を塗布し、送受話器の筐体背面の中央部より受話部よりに粘着固定することで、スベリ難い材質で形成された肩当て面で肩部に引っ掛かるので送受話器が落下し難く、使用者は送受話器を比較的無理のない姿勢で挟持することができる。
【0004】
【特許文献1】
実開昭61−81246号公報
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら上記従来の技術では、以下のような課題を有していた。
【0006】
(1)特許文献1の肩当てスベリ止めは、スベリ難い材質で形成された肩当て面により送受話器が肩部で滑り難くし落下し難くするものであり、単なるスベリ止めであるため、使用者の衣服の素材等によっては送受話器が落下し易く、また、長年の使用により肩当て面が磨耗した場合スベリ止めの効果が低下し使用性に欠けるという課題を有していた。
【0007】
(2)特許文献1の肩当てスベリ止めは、単なるスベリ止めであり肩部に掛止するものではないため、使用者の肩に柔軟にフィットせず使い勝手が悪く使用性に欠けるという課題を有していた。
【0008】
(3)特許文献1の肩当てスベリ止めは、底面に粘着剤を塗布し、送受話器の筐体に粘着固定しているため、取り付け取り外しを繰り返した場合、底面の粘着力が低下し取り付け不可能となり、新たに粘着剤を塗布する必要があるため煩雑であり使用性に欠けるという課題を有していた。
【0009】
本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するもので、送受話器を使用者の肩部に確実に掛止して落下を防止することができ使用者は通話中両手を自由にすることができると共に、壁面に設けられたフック等に掛止しておくことができ置き場所が限定されず、また、握力の弱い者が手に持った際にも滑って落下することを防止することができる電話機用補助具を提供することを目的とする。
【0010】
また、本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するもので、送受話器を使用者の肩部に確実に掛止して落下を防止することができ使用者は通話中両手を自由にすることができると共に、壁面に設けられたフック等に掛止しておくことができ置き場所が限定されず、また、握力の弱い者が手に持った際にも滑って落下することを防止することができる電話機を提供することを目的とする。

以下に本発明の一実施の形態について説明する。
【0049】
(実施の形態1)
図1(a)は本実施の形態1における電話機用補助具の斜視図であり、図1(b)は本実施の形態1における電話機用補助具の平面図であり、図1(c)は本実施の形態1における電話機用補助具の側面図である。
【0050】
図中、1は本実施の形態1における電話機用補助具、2は後述の電話機の送受話器の筐体面に沿って湾曲状に形成された取付部、3は後述の電話機の送受話器の筐体面に接触する取付部2の取付面、4は取付部2の両先端部の取付面3側に突設された取付用凸部、5は取付部2の頂部に立設され後述の電話機の送受話器の送話部側へ湾曲した舌片状の掛止部、6は掛止部5の先端部に形成された所定の幅を有する扁平状の脚部である。
【0051】
本実施の形態1の電話機用補助具1の取付部2及び掛止部5、すなわち電話機用補助具1全体は弾力性を有するゴム材により形成されている。これにより、掛止部5は使用者の肩部の形状等によって容易に変形するため、頭部と肩部で挟持し易く安定して挟持でき、また、肩部に柔軟にフィットして使い勝手が良く使用性に優れる。
【0052】
次に、以上のように構成された本実施の形態1の電話機用補助具1が取り付けられた電話機について、以下図を用いて説明する。
【0053】
図2(a)は本実施の形態1における電話機の送受話器の背面側斜視図であり、図2(b)は本実施の形態1における電話機の送受話器の表面側斜視図である。
【0054】
図中、1は電話機用補助具、2は取付部、5は掛止部、6は脚部であり、また、図2(b)において、4は取付用凸部であり、これらは図1において説明したものと同様であるので同一の符号を付けて説明を省略する。図2(a)において、10は本実施の形態1のおける電話機の送受話器、11は送受話器10の後述の送話部及び前記受話部が配設された面の反対側の面である筐体面、12は筐体面11の略中央部に配設された呼び出しベル用或いはハンズフリー通話用のスピーカ部である。図2(b)において、13は送受話器10の表面側の一端部近傍に配設されたマイク等からなる送話部、14は送受話器10の表面側の送話部13の反対側端部に配設されたスピーカ等からなる受話部、15は送受話器10の表面に配設された表示部、16は送受話器10の表面に複数配設され電話番号入力等の入力操作を行うプッシュボタン、17は送受話器10の両側部に形成され取付用凸部4が嵌合する取付用凹部である。
【0055】
図2(b)に示すように、電話機用補助具1は取付部2の両先端部の取付面3側に突設された取付用凸部4を送受話器10の両側部に形成された取付用凹部17に嵌合させることで送受話器10に脱着自在に取り付けられる。電話機用補助具1は送受話器10の筐体面11の中央部から受話部14側、すなわち使用者の頭部と肩部で挟持した際に肩部に接触する位置に取り付けられることが好ましい。したがって、電話機用補助具1が筐体面11の肩部に接触する位置に取り付けられるように取付用凹部17が位置決めされて形成されることが好ましい。なお、本実施の形態1においては、取付用凸部4と取付用凹部17により電話機用補助具1を送受話器10に脱着自在に取り付けているが、これに限られるものではなく、接着剤等により接着固定してもよく、螺子止め等により螺着固定してもよく、或いは電話機用補助具1を送受話器10に一体的に形成してもよい。
【0056】
以上のように構成された本実施の形態1における電話機について、以下その使用動作を図を用いて説明する。
【0057】
図3は本実施の形態1における電話機を用いた通話時の送受話器挟持動作を示す動作説明図である。
【0058】
図中、1は電話機用補助具、2は取付部、5は掛止部、10は送受話器、11は筐体面であり、これらは図1又は2において説明したものと同様であるので同一の符号を付けて説明を省略する。図中、Xは使用者、Yは使用者Xの頭部、Zは使用者Xの肩部である。
【0059】
図3に示すように、使用者Xは通話時に両手を自由にしたい場合等に送受話器10を頭部Yと肩部Zで挟持することができる。このとき、電話機用補助具1が送受話器10の筐体面11に取り付けられているので、電話機用補助具1の掛止部5で送受話器10を使用者Xの肩部Zに確実に掛止して落下を防止することができ使用者Xは通話中両手を自由にすることができる。また、使用者Xが握力の弱い者であっても、手に持った際に電話機用補助具1の掛止部5が手に引っ掛かるので、送受話器10が滑って落下することを防止することができる。
【0060】
図4は本実施の形態1における電話機を壁面に設けられたフックに掛止した状態を示す動作説明図である。
【0061】
図中、1は電話機用補助具、2は取付部、5は掛止部、10は送受話器、11は筐体面であり、これらは図1又は2において説明したものと同様であるので同一の符号を付けて説明を省略する。図中、Aは壁面、Bは壁面Aに設けられたフックである。
【0062】
図4に示すように、電話機用補助具1の掛止部5が取付部2に立設され送受話器10の筐体面11から突出しているので、掛止部5をフックBに掛止することにより、送受話器10を壁面Aに設けられたフックBに掛止することができる。これにより、送受話器10を任意の場所に掛止しておくことができ、紛失を防止することができる。なお、送受話器10を掛止するものとしては、フックBに限られるものではなく、机や棚の縁や親機が壁掛け型の場合に親機等に掛止することができるものであってもよい。
【0063】
図5(a)は本実施の形態1における電話機を載置面に載置した状態を示す側面図であり、図5(b)は本実施の形態1における電話機を載置面に載置した状態を示す正面図であり、図5(c)は脚部の変形例を示す電話機の正面図である。
【0064】
図中、1は電話機用補助具、2は取付部、5は掛止部、6は脚部、10は送受話器、11は筐体面、12はスピーカ部であり、これらは図1又は2において説明したものと同様であるので同一の符号を付けて説明を省略する。図中、Cは送受話器10が筐体面11を下にして載置される載置面、Dはスピーカ部12の下部に形成される空間、Wは掛止部5の先端部の幅である。また、図5(c)において、6′の突起状の脚部である。
【0065】
図5(a)に示すように、送受話器10を筐体面11を下にして載置面Cに載置した場合、電話機用補助具1が送受話器10の背面である筐体面11に形成されたスピーカ部12の近傍に取り付けられているので、筐体面11から突出した電話機用補助具1の掛止部5によりスピーカ部12の下部に空間Dが形成される。空間Dによりスピーカ部12が載置面Cに塞がれることがなく、送受話器10のスピーカ部12から発生する呼び出しベル用或いはハンズフリー通話用の受話音声が明瞭になり確実に聴き取ることができる。特に、載置面Cがベッド等の柔軟なものである場合は、従来ではスピーカ部12が塞がれ易いが、本実施の形態1のように空間Dを形成することでスピーカ部12が塞がれることなく、スピーカ部12からの音声を確実に聴き取ることができる。
【0066】
また、図5(b)に示すように、送受話器10を筐体面11を下にして載置面Cに載置した場合、掛止部5の先端部に載置面Cに対して扁平状の脚部6が形成されている。また、脚部6の幅(掛止部5の先端部の幅)Wは、送受話器10の幅の1/2程度に形成されている。これにより、脚部6が所定の幅を有すると共に脚部6全体が載置面Cに当接しているため、送受話器10は幅方向に傾いたり倒れたりすることなく安定して載置面C上に載置されると共に、掛止部5の先端部が送受話器10の幅より小さいため携帯し易い。
【0067】
更に、図5(c)に示すように、掛止部5の先端部に対称位置に配設された突起状の脚部6′を設けることもできる。
【0068】
以上のように本実施の形態1の電話機用補助具1及び送受話器10を備えた電話機は構成されているので、以下のような作用を有する。
【0069】
(1)電話機用補助具1が、電話機の送受話器10の筐体面11の中央部から受話部14側を使用者Xの頭部Yと肩部Zで挟持した際に、送受話器10の筐体面11の肩部Zに接触する位置に取り付けられているので、掛止部5が使用者Xの肩部Yに確実に掛止され送受話器10の落下を防止することができると共に、使用者Xは通話中、頭部Yと肩部Zで送受話器10を軽く挟持しながら無理な姿勢をとることなく両手を自由にすることができる。
【0070】
(2)電話機用補助具1の掛止部5が弾力性を有する材料により形成されているので、使用者Xの肩部Zの形状等によって変形し挟持し易く安定して挟持でき、使用者Xの肩部Zに柔軟にフィットして使い勝手が良く使用性に優れる。
【0071】
(3)電話機の送受話器10を電話機用補助具1の掛止部5で壁面AのフックBに掛止することができるので、置き場所が限定されず利便性に優れると共に、例えばコードレス電話機において、親機が壁掛け型である場合、子機である送受話器10を親機に掛止することができる。
【0072】
(4)電話機用補助具1が送受話器10の背面である筐体面11に形成されたスピーカ部12の近傍に取り付けられているので、筐体面11から突出した電話機用補助具1の掛止部5によりスピーカ部12の下部に空間Dが形成され、この空間Dによりスピーカ部12が載置面Cに塞がれることがなく、送受話器10のスピーカ部12から発生する呼び出しベル用或いはハンズフリー通話用の受話音声が明瞭になり確実に聴き取ることができる。
【0073】
