Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a telephone using a telephone card.

(Prior Art) Recently, telephones that can use telephone cards have been actively used. For example, FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the telephone. A telephone card is inserted from the telephone card insertion slot 6 and is fixed by the telephone card fixing unit 8 via the first delivery means 10 and the frequency is counted by the frequency counting means 12 while the speaker is speaking, and the remaining frequency is displayed on the frequency displaying means 14. Is displayed. When the talk of the speaker is finished and the handset is placed in the handset receiver, the telephone card is discharged from the telephone card discharge hole 46 via the second delivery means 48. Conventionally, there has been a problem that print information of a telephone card is hidden in a telephone during a call, that is, during use of the telephone card, and the print information cannot be used during a call. In order to solve this problem, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-78458 discloses an idea that "the information of a telephone card is optically projected or digitally read and displayed on a display".

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, as shown in FIG. 3, a print reading means for reading print information on the telephone card surface and a print information display section for displaying the print information inside the telephone body. In addition to the above, there is a problem in that the telephone body becomes heavier and the speaker always has to pay attention to the telephone body to see the print information during talking. Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve these problems, and an object of the present invention is to reduce the weight of a telephone body and to provide a telephone more convenient for a speaker.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, a telephone according to claim 1 delivers a telephone card insertion slot into which a telephone card is inserted, and delivers the telephone card from the insertion port to a telephone card fixing portion. For reading print information on the surface of a telephone card in a telephone including a telephone body having first delivery means, a frequency counting means for counting the residual frequency in the telephone card fixing portion, and a frequency display means for displaying the residual frequency. A print information display unit for displaying the print information, wherein the print information display unit is provided at a position mechanically separated from the telephone body, and the print information display unit and the print readability unit are provided. Are electrically connected.

A telephone according to a second aspect of the present invention is the telephone according to the first aspect, further comprising a changeover switch for operating the print information display unit.

(Operation) In the telephone according to the present invention having the above configuration, since the print information display section is provided at a position mechanically separated from the telephone body, the telephone body and the print information display section can move independently. It is.

Further, since a changeover switch for operating the print information display section is provided, it is not necessary to supply a current to the print information display section.

(Example) An example of the telephone according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view schematically showing the telephone according to the present embodiment. The difference between the telephone of this embodiment and the conventional telephone is that a print reading unit for reading print information on the surface of the telephone card is provided inside the telephone body, and the print information display section is located at a position mechanically separated from the telephone body. In preparation for As shown in FIG. 1, the print information display section 22
Is located at a position mechanically distant from the telephone body 50. The telephone body 50 and the print information display unit 50 are electrically connected by electric wiring.

The receiver 62 is hooked on the receiver receiver 64. Reference numeral 6 denotes a telephone card insertion hole, and reference numeral 14 denotes frequency display means for indicating the remaining frequency of the telephone card. 30 is a dial and 46 is a telephone card discharge hole. 68 is a coin discharge hole. A print reading unit (not shown) is built in the telephone body 50.

Reference numeral 66 denotes a changeover switch for operating the print information display section. Switching of this changeover switch (that is, ON
−OFF), the print information display section 22
It is possible to stop the flow of current between the printer and the print reading means built in the telephone main body 50, or to reverse the flow of current.

Next, the operation of the telephone 16 of the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described. First, the speaker picks up the receiver 62 that is hooked on the receiver receiver 64. Next, a telephone card is inserted through the telephone card insertion hole 6. In addition, dial 30
Turn to talk to the other party. At this time, if you want to see the print information of the telephone card, turn on the changeover switch 66
By doing so, the print information of the telephone card can be displayed on the print information display section 22. Since the print information display section 22 is provided at a position mechanically distant from the telephone body 50, the speaker can view the print information without paying attention to the telephone body 50, which is very convenient.

Further, as described above, the print information display section 22 is
Since it is mechanically distant from the printer, the degree of freedom in installing the print information display unit 22 is increased, and the volumetric efficiency is improved. Further, a plurality of print information display sections 22 can be provided, so that the speaker and the other party can talk while seeing the same print information.

Further, since the print information display section 22 is removed from the telephone main body 50, the telephone main body 50 is reduced in weight and is convenient to carry at the time of installation or the like.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the telephone according to the present invention has a simple configuration, so that the telephone body can be reduced in weight and the usage efficiency of the telephone card can be increased.
