The above-mentioned belt holding plate 22 engages with the belt 100 as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to easily attach the portable receiver to a waist belt or the like of the employee. In this manner, the fixed portion can be set not only on the waist belt but also on the clothes or bag of the employee. Further, as is apparent from the figure, since the belt holding plate 22 has a hook portion 22a at its tip, the engagement state with the belt 100 is firmly maintained, and even when used as a clip, Can be fixed.

In the present invention, the belt holding plate 22 is not only rotatably supported on the holder substrate 21 but also is frictionally connected between the mounting position and the upright position so as to be frictionally moved to an arbitrary position. It is held and positioned and fixed with moderation to both the mounting position and the standing position. To this end, the holder substrate 21 is partially provided, in the embodiment, at an intermediate portion between the pair of pivots 23, and
And is formed as a tongue-shaped spring plate 21c having elasticity in which three surrounding sides are cut off like a tongue.
3, the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c may be slightly curved from the holder substrate 21 toward the belt holding plate 22, or may be flush with the holder substrate 21. As shown in the figure, the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c is bent from the holder substrate 21 toward the belt holding plate 22 so that the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c does not interfere with the main body 10 when the friction holding function and the moderation mechanism described later are operated. Board 21c
Is moved to the main body 10 side.

On the other hand, around the pivot 23 of the belt holding plate 22, there is provided a friction cam 24 which comes into pressure contact with the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c. FIG. 4 shows a characteristic friction cam 24 according to the present invention.

First, since the friction cam 24 shown in FIG. 4A has a shape having two cam surfaces, the clip holder 11 holds the belt holding plate 22 with respect to the holder substrate 21 at the mounting position and the upright position. Is moderate, and at any position between the mounting position and the standing position, the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c
, The friction can be maintained. Also,
By making the shape of the friction cam 24 circular as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the clip holder 11 moves the belt holding plate 22 to the holder substrate 21 at an arbitrary position between the mounting position and the upright position. Can be frictionally held by friction with the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c. Furthermore, since the friction cam 24 shown in FIG. 4C has a shape having one cam surface in a part of a circle, the clip holder 11
The belt holding plate 22 is moderated only at the mounting position with respect to the holder substrate 21, and at an arbitrary position between the mounting position and the standing position, friction with the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c causes
It is possible to hold friction. The friction cam 24 may have any of the shapes shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C.

The embodiment of the present invention has the above configuration, and its operation will be described below.

FIG. 5 shows the frictional action and the moderating action of the friction cam 24 of FIG. 4A in this embodiment, and FIG. 5A shows the mounted state of the clip holder 11. Have been. That is, in FIG. 5A, the first cam surface 24a of the friction cam 24 is engaged with the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c.
Urges the belt holding plate 22 clockwise. Therefore, the lower end of the belt holding plate 22 in the figure is pressed against the main body. Therefore, the receiver can be stably fixed when a part of the clothes is sandwiched between the lower end of the belt holding plate 22 and the main body when worn on the clothes or the like of the employee.

FIG. 5B shows a state in which the belt holding plate 22 is rotated counterclockwise with respect to the holder substrate 21 from this state, that is, in this state, the tongue-shaped spring plate 21 is rotated.
c is in a state of being flexed by pressing against the friction cam 24. Therefore, the belt holding plate 22 can be frictionally held at an arbitrary position while rotating in the counterclockwise direction.

When the belt holding plate 22 is further rotated counterclockwise, the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c is
2 will be urged counterclockwise. And FIG.
As shown in (C), the second detent position, that is, the upright position, is determined with the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c coupled to the second cam surface 24b of the friction cam 24.

On the other hand, when the friction cam 24 shown in FIG. 4B in this embodiment is used, since it has no cam surface,
The belt holding plate 22 can be frictionally held at the mounting position, the standing position, and any position between the mounting position and the standing position only by the friction action. When the friction cam 24 shown in FIG. 4C is used,
Since the belt holding plate 22 has only the first cam surface 24a, the belt holding plate 22 can be positioned at the mounting position by a moderating action at that portion, and can be frictionally held at an arbitrary position between the standing position and the mounting position. Can be.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 2, when the receiver is mounted on a waist belt or the like, engagement of the tongue-shaped spring plate 21c and the first cam surface 24a or friction holding of the friction cam causes In the wearing position, the employee can stably fix the portable receiver to the belt 100.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the employee confirms the telephone call or the reception of the message on the display section 12, the user raises the main body 10 from the clip holder 11 as shown in FIG. The receiver main body 10 is fixed at the upright position by engaging the second cam surface 24b or holding friction with the friction cam. As a result, the lower side of the receiver main body 10 is separated from the body, so that the message on the display unit 12 can be more easily read by the employee from above. In particular, according to the present invention, the clip holder 11
The user can easily view the large-area display unit 12 without removing the receiver from the belt each time while the device itself is worn on the waist belt or the like.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the present invention, the direction of the characters displayed on the main body display unit 12 is set such that the character leg 12a is positioned at the fulcrum of the clip holder 11, that is, on the pivot 23 side. The display has been made. Therefore, the direction of the character is such that the leg 12a is located on the body side when the belt is worn, and the character head 12b is located on the side away from the body.
In the standing state during use shown in (1), the employee can visually recognize the character very easily.

Further, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the clip holder 11 can stably arrange the portable receiver on the desk in the upright state. Functions as a stand for the receiver. Therefore, the employee can make the pager receiver stand alone at a position easily viewable on the desk during work or the like. At this time, the direction of the display character described above is directed in the correct direction even in the independent state, and the employee can easily visually recognize the contents even in the seated state.

[0038]

As described above, the portable receiver of the present invention is a receiver body having a display unit larger in front than the conventional one, and the belt holding part of the holder is biased in two directions. Since it is frictionally held at an arbitrary position, many display contents of the display unit of the main body can be visually recognized while wearing the belt, and it is possible to hold the display at an angle suitable for the employee particularly when taking notes with both hands. . Furthermore, the holder can be removed from the main body when the belt is not worn, so that it is easy to carry. On the other hand, since the position of the main body connection portion of the fixing member is provided near the center of the main body in the vertical width, the degree of use of the rear surface of the main body is improved, and the main body can be downsized. In addition, since the clip holder is not a spring clip, the clip holder does not protrude beyond the vertical width of the main body, so that the employee is not unnecessarily pressed against the body during wearing.
