DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone cabinet used for a public telephone installed in an outdoor or indoor street, a plaza, a store or a public place.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional public telephone of this type is housed in a telephone cabinet in order to avoid rain and wind and prevent damage. Here, a plurality of types of telephones are accommodated in the cabinet. To cope with this, the same cabinet is used, and the cabinet is attached to the rear surface of the cabinet to engage the rear surface of the telephone. A dedicated inner plate is prepared for each type (size) of the telephone, and a dedicated inner plate corresponding to the accommodated telephone is provided.

[0003] A notch engaging portion is formed on the inner plate, and the notch engaging portion is fitted to the back surface of the telephone. In addition, a cord such as a telephone line of a telephone is prevented from being exposed to the outside by passing through a gap formed between a back surface portion and an inner plate in the cabinet.

[0004] Also, the use of a dedicated inner plate for each type (size) of telephones is, for example, when a notch engaging portion corresponding to a large telephone is provided on the inner plate, and a small telephone is attached. This is to prevent a part of the notch engaging portion from being seen as a gap from the periphery of the back surface of the telephone.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional telephone cabinet, it is necessary to prepare a dedicated inner plate for each size of the telephone, so that there is a problem that the cost is increased. Also, since the inner plate must fix the back and both sides in the cabinet,
Its installation was difficult. For this reason, when the telephone is changed to a telephone having a different shape, the inner plate must be replaced, so that there is a problem that this operation is extremely complicated.

[0006] Accordingly, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to mount telephones of all sizes with one type of inner plate so that no gap is visible.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an inner plate on a rear portion of a cabinet body in which a telephone is accommodated, and a rear portion of the cabinet body has a double structure. In the telephone cabinet provided with a notch engagement portion for engaging the back surface of the telephone on the inner plate, the notch engagement portion of the inner plate is the largest of the accommodated telephones A gap prevention for concealing a gap generated between the telephone and the notch engaging portion of the inner plate when accommodating a telephone having a shape other than the maximum external shape. Board,
The inner plate may be detachably attached to the notch engaging portion.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the notch engaging portion of the inner plate provided in the cabinet main body is formed in accordance with the maximum outer shape of the accommodated telephone. The maximum outer shape telephone is directly engaged with the inner plate, so that the gap of the notch engaging portion is concealed. When a telephone having a shape other than the maximum outer shape is accommodated, a gap prevention plate having a shape corresponding to the telephone is attached to the inner plate, and then the rear surface of the telephone is engaged with the notch engaging portion of the inner plate. Thereby, even when a small telephone is accommodated, the gap of the notch engaging portion of the inner plate is not seen from the peripheral portion on the back surface of the telephone.

[0009]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing one embodiment of a telephone cabinet according to the present invention. The cabinet body 11 is supported by, for example, a pole 12 embedded in the ground. Cabinet body 11
Is formed in a substantially U-shape when viewed from the side, and side plates 13 made of a transparent or translucent resin are attached to the spaces on both sides.

As a result, the cabinet body 11 is formed in a box shape with an open front. A hinge portion 14 is provided at the left outer edge of the front side of the cabinet body 11, and a transparent or translucent door 15 is connected to the hinge portion 14, so that the front portion can be opened and closed. A mounting plate 1 for mounting and fixing a telephone is provided in the cabinet body 11.
6 are provided. The mounting plate 16 is provided so as to be able to be pulled out by a rail and locked by a locking mechanism 17.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a part of components of the telephone cabinet shown in FIG. An inner plate 18 is provided on a rear surface in the cabinet body 11. The inner plate 18 is obtained by bending a plate-like body into a substantially trapezoidal shape, and has a notch engaging portion 19 formed at the center.
The notch engaging portion 19 is notched in a substantially inverted U-shape, and is connected at both sides of a substantially central portion thereof by a plate portion 19a bent in a rearward convex shape.

The telephone set housed in the telephone cabinet has its rear surface engaged with the notch engaging portion 19 of the inner plate 18. Further, cords such as telephone wires are passed through a gap formed between the cabinet main body 11 and the inner plate 18.
This makes it possible to hide codes from the outside. In addition, the notch engaging portion 19 of the inner plate 18 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the rear portion having the largest outer shape among the accommodated telephones.

When a telephone having the largest external shape is to be accommodated, the rear portion of the telephone is directly engaged with the inner plate 18. On the other hand, when a telephone other than the telephone having the largest external shape is accommodated in the cabinet main body 11, one of the gap preventing plates 20 (20A, 20B,...) Is selected and attached according to the size of the telephone. FIG. 3 shows three types of gap prevention plates 20A and 20A.
It is a perspective view which shows B and 20C and the inner plate 18. Also,
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view when the gap prevention plate 20B of FIG. These gap preventing plates 20 cover the outer peripheral portion of the notch engaging portion 19 of the inner plate 18 according to the size of the telephone, and have different areas for concealing the notch engaging portion 19 respectively. Is formed. By passing a screw through a screw hole 21 formed in the gap prevention plate 20 and screwing it to a female screw 19b formed at each of the four corners of the plate portion 19a of the inner plate 18, the gap prevention plate 20 is attached to the inner plate 1
8.

By attaching these gap preventing plates 20, even if the telephone has a small external shape, when the telephone is housed in the cabinet main body 11, the outer periphery of the notch engaging portion 19 of the inner plate 18 on the back side. The part becomes a gap and cannot be seen.

[0015]

According to the present invention, a telephone having a maximum outer shape is directly engaged with and attached to the inner plate, and when a telephone other than the maximum outer shape is to be mounted, the telephone is engaged with the inner plate to which the gap preventing plate is attached. Therefore, even when a small telephone is accommodated, the gap at the outer peripheral portion of the notch engaging portion of the inner plate can be concealed. As a result, the inner plate can be shared and the cost can be reduced, and even when replacing the telephone with a different size, the notch engaging portion of the inner plate can be concealed only by attaching and detaching the gap prevention plate. Can be.
