A slide pad provided on the bottom surface of the display unit via a spring so as to obtain a frictional force between the guide member having a stopper for guiding the rail member and stopping the display unit at a predetermined position, and the rail provided on the upper surface of the main body unit Consists of.

Therefore, according to the telephone of the present invention, when the touch panel is operated, the extra key operation means is not exposed, so there is no fear of malfunction, and the touch panel is at the user's hand, so that the operation is easy.
Further, since the display is configured to slide to the upper surface of the key operation means, the occupied area does not increase.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view of a state in which a display device of a telephone device according to an embodiment of the present invention is moved to a first position. (A) is a front view, (b) is a side view.
FIG. 2 is an external view of a state in which the display device of the telephone device is moved to the second position according to the embodiment of the present invention. (A) is a front view, (b) is a side view.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a telephone device according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a key operation means 2 and a handset 5, and a main body portion with a built-in printed wiring board 100 on which a plurality of semiconductor devices are mounted. 1 and a display unit 3 provided with a display 4 with a touch panel for displaying predetermined information according to an instruction from the semiconductor device.
The display unit 3 extends along the surface of the main body 1 by a slide mechanism, which will be described later, over a first position shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) and a second position shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b). The slide is movable.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing a slide mechanism of the telephone device according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rail member 12 is fixed to the main body upper case 11 of the main body 1 through a pair of through holes formed near both ends of the display lower case 31.
A pair of guide members 32 and 33 are fixed to the display unit lower case 31 so as to sandwich the rail member 12 from both sides, and guide the display unit 3 over the first position and the second position.

FIG. 4 is a front view and a side view of the rail member 12 of the telephone device according to the embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a front view and AA cross-sectional view of the guide member 32 in the guide members 32 and 33 of the telephone device according to the embodiment of the present invention. The guide members 32 and 33 are formed symmetrically.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing details of the slide mechanism, and is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. FIG. 6 shows a detailed structure of a slide guide mechanism including the rail member 12 and the guide members 32 and 33.
The w dimension shown in FIG. 6 is the left and right guide width dimension formed by the left and right guide surfaces 32 b and 33 b of the guide members 32 and 33.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the width of the concave portion 12a of the rail member 12 is formed to be h1 slightly larger than the width dimension h of the upper and lower guide portions 32a of the guide member 32 shown in FIG. The upper and lower sliding pieces 12b are formed so as to have a width that is slightly narrower than the h dimension and to have flexibility. That is, the relationship between the dimensions is formed in the order of h1> h> h2. As a result, when the upper and lower sliding pieces 12b of the rail member 12 sandwich the upper and lower guide portions 32a and 33a of the guide members 32 and 33, the width h2 of the upper and lower sliding pieces 12b of the rail member 12 is slightly widened and the guide members 32 and 33 are expanded. Since the upper and lower guide portions 32a and 33a are pressurized from above and below, rattling between the upper and lower sliding pieces 12b of the rail member 12 and the upper and lower guide portions 32a and 33a of the guide members 32 and 33 is absorbed, and the display portion 3 is smooth. Slide movement is possible. In addition, since the tip portion of the upper and lower sliding pieces 12b is formed in a semicircular shape so that the contact with the upper and lower guide portions 32a and 33a is a line contact, the sliding stability can be ensured even in a dust environment.

  Similarly to the above, left and right sliding pieces 12d and 12e formed to have flexibility are formed on the side surface 12c of the rail member 12 as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the guide members 32 and 33 are fixed so that the dimension between the left and right guide surfaces 32b and 33b is w. That is, the above-mentioned members are formed so that the relationship between the dimensions of w, w1, and w2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 is in the order of w2> w> w1. As a result, when the left and right sliding pieces 12d and 12e of the rail member 12 are sandwiched between the left and right guide surfaces 32b and 33b of the guide member 32, the left and right sliding pieces 12d and 12e of the rail member 12 become the left and right guide surfaces 32b of the guide member 32, respectively. Since 33b is pressurized from the left and right, rattling between the left and right sliding pieces 12d, 12e of the rail member 12 and the left and right guide surfaces 32b, 33b of the guide member 32 is absorbed, and the display unit 3 can be smoothly slid. Become. In addition, since the tip portions of the left and right sliding pieces 12d and 12e of the rail member 12 are formed in a semicircular shape so that the contact with the left and right guide surfaces 32b and 33b is linear contact, the stability of sliding is ensured even in a dust environment. it can.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, since the convex stoppers 32c and 33c are formed at predetermined positions of the guide members 32 and 33, the display unit 3 exposes the key operation means and can be operated. When the left and right sliding pieces 12d and 12e of the rail member 12 are deformed and move over the stoppers 32c and 33c, the display unit 3 can be reliably stopped at a predetermined position.

  FIG. 6 shows the structure of the slide pad portion 34 of the telephone device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Next, the structure and operation of the slide pad portion 34 of the telephone device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, the slide pad portion 34 has a configuration in which a slide pad 34 c is attached to a slide pad storage portion 34 a provided in the display portion 3 via a pressure spring 34 b. It is preferable that the slide pad 34c has a suitable coefficient of friction and has a surface made of, for example, silicon rubber that maintains stable characteristics with respect to temperature, change with time, and the like.
The pressure spring 34b is attached to a space formed by a bottom portion of the slide pad storage portion 34a and a concave portion of the slide pad 34c in a compressed state from its free length. Accordingly, since the slide pad 34c is applied with a pressure force due to the repulsive force of the pressure spring 34b, an appropriate friction is generated between the slide pad 34c and the slide rail 13 having a convex cross section formed on the central surface of the upper case 11 of the main body. When a force is generated and moves across the first position and the second position, the display unit can remain at that position even if the user releases his hand at an arbitrary position on the way.

  Conventionally, since the slide pad 34c is directly fixed to the display unit lower case 31 without the pressurizing spring 34b, the frictional force is reduced due to wear of the slide pad 34c and the slide rail 13, and the display unit can be placed at an arbitrary position. However, according to the present invention, even if the slide pad 34c and the slide rail 13 are worn by being attached via the pressure spring 34b, the amount of wear is reduced by the pressure spring 34b. It can be absorbed by the repulsive force, prevents a decrease in frictional force due to wear, and maintains a stable frictional force over a long period of time.

  Although the preferred embodiment has been described above, the above embodiment is merely an example of the present invention, and the configuration can be changed within the scope of the present invention. For example, although two guides are provided so that the guide member is guided from both sides of the rail member, it is obvious that the same operation and effect can be obtained even if one of the guide members is configured.
