Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、卓上で使用する電話機等の電子機器に関し、特に、筺体の表面に設けられた表示装置の表示角度を変えることができる電子機器の卓上構造に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
例えば、液晶表示装置が設けられた電話機を卓上において使用するときに、操作者の目の位置によって表示内容が見にくかったり、あるいは操作者の操作姿勢によっては操作部の操作性が悪い場合がある。これを解消するために、この種の電話機においては、表示装置の表示角度を調整する角度調整構造が設けられている。この角度調整構造は、電話機の筺体の底部に軸受が形成され、この軸受に上端部が枢支される支承部材が備えられており、平時はこの支承部材は筺体の底部に密着した状態で保持されている。そして、表示装置の表示角度を変えるときには、筺体の底部から支承部材を離間させるように、支承部材の上端部を回動中心として支承部材の下端側を回動させて、筺体の底部と卓上との間に支承部材を介在させて、電話機の先端側を立設させるようにして筺体を支持することにより、表示装置の表示角度を変えるものである。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上述した従来の角度調整構造においては、電話機の表示装置が設けられた上部に操作者によって大きな負荷をかけると、支承部材にその負荷が集中し支承部材や支承部材の軸受部を破損させてしまうといった問題が発生していた。
【０００４】
本発明は上記した従来の問題に鑑みなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、支承部材や軸受部の破損を防止した電子機器の卓上構造を提供することにある。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この目的を達成するために、本発明に係る電子機器の卓上構造は、筺体の表面に表示装置を設けるとともに、筺体の底部に前記表示装置の表示角度を変える支承部材を設け、この支承部材の上部に枢軸を形成し、前記筺体の底部にこの枢軸を回動自在に支持する軸受部を形成した電子機器の卓上構造において、前記軸受部を前記筺体に一体形成された断面円弧状の複数の弾性片で形成し、かつこの軸受部に前記枢軸の径よりもわずかに小さい開口を設け、一端が筺体の底部に枢着されて筺体を載置するベース部材を備え、このベース部材の他端側に前記支承部材の下端が係合してこの支承部材を保持する係合部を設けたものである。
したがって、電子機器に上方から大きな負荷がかかったとしても、軸受部の弾性片が弾性変形し、支承部材の枢軸部が軸受部の開口から外れる。
【０００６】

【０００７】
図１において、全体を符号１で示すものは、ボタン電話装置の子機としての電話機であって、アッパーケース２とロアーケース３とによって形成された筺体が備えられている。アッパーケース２の表面には、上部に通話時間や発信した相手先のダイヤル番号等を表示する液晶表示装置５が設けられ、中央に多数の機能ボタン６が設けられ、下部にダイヤルボタン７が設けられ、側部に送受話器８が載置されている。
【０００８】
図６に示すように、ロアーケース３の底部のＸ方向側には、断面Ｕ字状の弾性係合片３ａが突設されている。図３において、ロアーケース３の底部の矢印Ｙ方向の左右には、一対の軸支承部１０，１０が立設され、この軸支承部１０内には、相対向する面が開口した軸受凹部（図示せず）が形成され、この軸受凹部の上部は断面矩形状の開口１０ａが形成されている。また、このロアーケース３の底部の左右方向の中央には、Ｘ，Ｙ方向に箱状に形成された２個の凸部１１，１２が立設され、これら凸部１１，１２は、共に高さｈに形成されている。
【０００９】
一方の凸部１１のＹ方向の端部の中央には、図６に示すように、断面円弧状の保持片１１ｂが図中上方に突設され、端部の左右には、断面円弧状の一対の保持片１１ｃ，１１ｃが下方に突設されている。ロアーケース３の底部から突設された断面円弧状の保持片３ｂは弾性変形可能に形成され、この保持片３ｂと上述した保持片１１ｂ，１１ｃとによって軸受部１１ｅが形成されている。この軸受部１１ｅは、後述する支承部材１５の枢軸部１５ａを回動自在に支持するものであって、保持片３ｂと保持片１１ｃとの間に、側面視において枢軸部１５ａの径よりもやや小さい長さＬの開口１１ｄが形成されている。
【００１０】
これら凸部１１，１２の表面の中央には、図７に示すように、切欠き片１１ａ，１２ａがそれぞれへこんだ状態に形成され、これら切欠き片１１ａ，１２ａに対応して、凸部１１，１２の表面には、抜け止め部１３，１３が形成されている。これら抜け止め部１３，１３には、図４に示すように、切欠き片１１ａ，１２ａと略同じ外形の型抜き孔１３ａ，１３ａが形成され、これら型抜き孔１３ａ，１３ａのＹ方向の端部には、幅広の開口１３ｂ，１３ｂが形成されている。
【００１１】
図３において、支承部材１５は平板によって平面視において略矩形に形成され、図中矢印Ｘ方向の端部には、Ｘ−Ｙ方向と直交するように断面円形の枢軸部１５ａが形成されている。また、この支承部材１５のＹ方向の端部には係合部１５ｂが折り曲げ形成され、この係合部１５ｂの左右には、この係合部１５ｂの折り曲げ方向と反対方向に突設する一対の弾性係合片１５ｃ，１５ｃが形成されている。
【００１２】
図３および図５において、１７は上述した電話機１の筺体を載置するベース部材であって、平面視において、中央に中空部２１が設けられ、外側の囲い壁１８と内側の囲い壁１９とによって全体がロの字状に形成され、これら両囲い壁１８，１９によって断面コ字状の溝２０（図５中便宜上ハッチングを施した部位）が形成されている。これら両囲い壁１８，１９は、すべての部位で同じ高さＨに形成され、上述したロアーケース３の凸部１１，１２の高さｈと略同じ高さに形成されている。中空部２１の外形は、上述したロアーケース３の凸部１１，１２と後述するように軸受部１１ｅに枢支される支承部材１５を収納可能な大きさに形成されている。外側の囲い壁１８のＹ方向の端部の左右の側部には断面略矩形状の一対の凸部１８ａ，１８ａが突設され、Ｘ−Ｙ方向の端部には、一対の切欠き１８ｂ，１８ｂおよび１個の切欠き１８ｃが、それぞれ形成されている。図６に示すように、外側の囲い壁１８のＸ方向の端部の左右方向の中央に、上述した弾性係合片３ａに係合する突起１８ｄが形成されている。
【００１３】
内側の囲い壁１９の左右方向の側部およびＹ方向の端部の上端には、外側の囲い壁１８側に突設して溝２０の上方に位置する６個の抜け止め片１９ａが形成され、Ｙ方向の端部には一対の切欠き１９ｂ，１９ｂが形成されている。２２は溝２０の４隅に立設された４個の脚部、２３，２３は内側の囲い壁１９から互いに対向するように突設された一対の保持部材であって、裏面側に２個の係合凹部２３ａ，２３ｂが形成され、表面側に平板状の押え部２３ｃが形成され、この押え部２３ｃの裏面には、図６に示すように、ダボ２３ｄが突設されている。
【００１４】
図４において、２５はラインコードであって、一端に取り付けたモジューラージャック２６ａを介して電話機１と接続され、他端に取り付けたモジューラージャック２６ｂをボタン電話装置の主装置（図示せず）に接続することにより、回線に接続される。図６において、２７は電話機１が載置される卓、図７において、３０は壁であって、頭部３１ａが大径に形成された断面Ｔ字状の一対の壁掛け部材３１が上下に取り付けられている。
【００１５】
次に、このような構成の電話機を卓上で使用する場合を説明する。
先ず、支承部材１５の枢軸部１５ａを、図６に示すように、開口１１ｄから保持片３ｂを弾性変形させながら、軸受部１１ｅ内に係入させて、軸受部１１ｅに枢軸部１５ａを枢着する。次に、ベース部材１７の凸部１８ａ，１８ａを、図３に示すように、ロアーケース３の軸支承部１０，１０の開口１０ａ，１０ａから図示を省略した軸受凹部内に係入させることにより、ベース部材１７の一端を軸支承部１０，１０を介してロアーケース３の底部に回動自在に支持させる。
【００１６】
ベース部材１７を回動させてロアーケース３の底部に密着させ、図６に示すように、ロアーケース３の弾性係合片３ａにベース部材１７の突起１８ｄを係合させることにより、ベース部材１７のロアーケース３の底部への密着した状態が保持される。このとき、ベース部材１７の保持部材２３のダボ２３ｄが支承部材１５の表面に係合するので、支承部材１５の枢軸部１５ａを回動中心とした回動が規制されるとともに、図４に示すように、ベース部材１７の中空部２１内にロアーケース３の凸部１１，１２および支承部材１５が収納される。このようにしてロアーケース３の底部に組み付けられたベース部材１７と、凸部１１，１２とは、略同じ高さに形成されているので、ベース部材１７を卓２７上に載置することにより、電話機１を卓上で使用することが可能になる。
【００１７】
ここで、電話機１の表示装置５が見ずらかったり、機能ボタン６やダイヤルボタン７の操作がしにくく、表示装置５の表示角度を変える場合には、図８に示すように、ロアーケース３の弾性係合片３ａからベース部材１７の突起１８ｄの係合を外し、ロアーケース３のＸ方向の端部を手で把持して持ち上げる。支承部材１５はベース部材１７のダボ２３ｄとの係合が解除され回動の規制が解除されるので、支承部材１５を軸受部１１ｅに枢支された枢軸部１５ａを回動中心として図中反時計方向に回動させる。支承部材１５の係合部１５ｂを係合凹部２３ａに係合させると、弾性係合片１５ｃが弾性変形するので、この弾性変形によって支承部材１５は軸受部１１ｅと係合凹部２３ａとに強固に保持され、電話機１の表示装置５は、この支承部材１５によって表示角度αに保持される。
【００１８】
このとき、操作者が誤って、アッパーケース２の表面に手をついて、図中矢印Ａ方向に大きな負荷をかけると、ロアーケース３を支承している支承部材１５にも矢印Ａ方向に大きな負荷がかかる。この矢印Ａ方向の負荷は、支承部材１５の全長方向と軸受部１１ｅの開口１１ｄ方向とに分力されるので、枢軸部１５ａを保持している保持片３ｂが弾性変形して枢軸部１５ａが開口１１ｄから矢印Ｂ方向に外れる。このため、支承部材１５が破損したり、ロアーケース３の軸受部１１ｅあるいはベース部材１７の係合凹部２３ａが破損するのを防止することができる。表示装置５の表示角度αでも不足している場合には、図８の状態からロアーケース３の端部をさらに持ち上げ、支承部材１５を時計方向に回動させ、係合部１５ｂを図９に示すように、別の係合凹部２３ｂに係合させることにより、表示角度をβとすることができる。
【００１９】
次に、電話機１を壁に掛けて使用する場合を説明する。
上述した卓上で使用する場合で説明したように、図４および図６に示すように、ベース部材１７をロアーケース３の底部に密着させ、ロアーケース３の弾性係合片３ａにベース部材１７の突起１８ｄを係合させることにより、ベース部材１７の中空部２１内にロアーケース３の凸部１１，１２および支承部材１５を収納した状態とする。この状態として、図７に示すように、壁掛け部材３１の頭部３１ａに、ロアーケース３の凸部１１，１２の抜け止め部１３の型抜き孔１３ａの開口１３ｂを係入させ、電話機１を図中下方に移動させると、頭部３１ａが抜け止め部１３と切欠き片１１ａとの間に係入し、抜け止め部１３に係合する。
【００２０】
このとき、上述したように、ロアーケース３の凸部１１，１２とベース部材１７の囲い壁１８，１９の高さが略同じに形成されているので、ベース部材１７をロアーケース３の底部に取り付けたままの状態でも、壁掛け部材３１の頭部３１ａに、凸部１１，１２の抜け止め部１３を係合させるのに支障をきたすことがない。このように、電話機１を壁に掛けて使用する場合にも、ベース部材１７をロアーケース３に取り付けたままの状態としておけるので、取り外す手間が省けるとともに、次に卓上で使用するまでに、ベース部材１７を紛失するようなおそれがなくなる。また、電話機１を壁掛け部材３１に取り付ける際に、ベース部材１７の突起１８ｄがロアーケース３の弾性係合片３ａに係合していることにより、ベース部材１７のロアーケース３の底部に密着した状態が保持されるので、取付けの作業性が向上する。
【００２１】
なお、本実施の形態では、ベース部材１７を設け、このベース部材１７に形成した支承部材１５を保持する係合凹部２３ａ，２３ｂによって支承部材１５の係合部１５ｂを保持するようにしたが、支承部材１５の枢軸部１５ａ側と軸受部１１ｅとに、支承部材１５の回動端限を規制する係合部を設けることにより、ベース部材１７を設けることなく、支承部材１５の下端を直接卓２７上に載置してもよい。また、電話機を例を挙げたが、これに限定されず各種情報端末や電子機器でもよく、要は操作部に表示装置が設けられ、筺体の底部に表示装置の表示角度を調整する支承部材が設けられているものであれば適用できる。
【００２２】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明によれば、誤って、筺体の上方から大きな負荷をかけても、支承部材の枢軸が軸受部から外れので、支承部材が破損したり、軸受部が破損するのを防止することができる。

[0015]
Next, a case where the telephone having such a configuration is used on a desk will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 6, the pivot portion 15a of the support member 15 is engaged with the bearing portion 11e while elastically deforming the holding piece 3b from the opening 11d, and the pivot portion 15a is pivotally attached to the bearing portion 11e.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the protrusions 18a and 18a of the base member 17 are inserted into the bearing recesses not shown through the openings 10a and 10a of the shaft support portions 10 and 10 of the lower case 3. Then, one end of the base member 17 is rotatably supported on the bottom portion of the lower case 3 via the shaft support portions 10 and 10.
[0016]
The base member 17 is rotated and brought into close contact with the bottom of the lower case 3, and as shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion 18 d of the base member 17 is engaged with the elastic engagement piece 3 a of the lower case 3. The state in which the lower case 3 is in close contact with the bottom is maintained. At this time, since the dowels 23d of the holding member 23 of the base member 17 engage with the surface of the support member 15, the rotation of the support member 15 about the pivot portion 15a is restricted, and as shown in FIG. As described above, the convex portions 11 and 12 and the support member 15 of the lower case 3 are accommodated in the hollow portion 21 of the base member 17.

Here, when the display device 5 of the telephone 1 is difficult to see, the function buttons 6 and the dial buttons 7 are difficult to operate, and the display angle of the display device 5 is changed, as shown in FIG. The protrusion 18d of the base member 17 is disengaged from the elastic engagement piece 3a, and the end of the lower case 3 in the X direction is gripped and lifted by hand. Since the support member 15 is disengaged from the dowel 23d of the base member 17 and the restriction of rotation is released, the support member 15 is turned in the direction centered on the pivot portion 15a pivotally supported by the bearing portion 11e. Turn clockwise. When the engagement portion 15b of the support member 15 is engaged with the engagement recess 23a, the elastic engagement piece 15c is elastically deformed, so that the support member 15 is firmly fixed to the bearing portion 11e and the engagement recess 23a by this elastic deformation. The display device 5 of the telephone 1 is held at the display angle α by the support member 15.

At this time, if the operator accidentally touches the surface of the upper case 2 and applies a large load in the direction of arrow A in the figure, the load on the support member 15 that supports the lower case 3 also increases in the direction of arrow A. It takes. Since the load in the direction of arrow A is divided in the full length direction of the support member 15 and the opening 11d direction of the bearing portion 11e, the holding piece 3b holding the pivot portion 15a is elastically deformed so that the pivot portion 15a is It deviates in the direction of arrow B from the opening 11d. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the support member 15 from being damaged, or the bearing portion 11e of the lower case 3 or the engaging recess 23a of the base member 17 from being damaged. If the display angle α of the display device 5 is insufficient, the end of the lower case 3 is further lifted from the state of FIG. 8, the support member 15 is rotated clockwise, and the engaging portion 15b is moved to FIG. As shown, the display angle can be set to β by engaging with another engaging recess 23b.
[0019]
Next, a case where the telephone 1 is used while being hung on a wall will be described.
As described in the case of use on the desktop described above, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the base member 17 is brought into close contact with the bottom of the lower case 3, and the elastic engagement piece 3 a of the lower case 3 is attached to the base member 17. By engaging the protrusion 18d, the convex portions 11 and 12 of the lower case 3 and the support member 15 are accommodated in the hollow portion 21 of the base member 17. In this state, as shown in FIG. 7, the opening 13 b of the punching hole 13 a of the retaining portion 13 of the convex portion 11, 12 of the lower case 3 is engaged with the head portion 31 a of the wall hanging member 31, and the telephone 1 is When moved downward in the figure, the head portion 31 a is engaged between the retaining portion 13 and the notch piece 11 a and engaged with the retaining portion 13.
[0020]
At this time, as described above, since the heights of the convex portions 11 and 12 of the lower case 3 and the surrounding walls 18 and 19 of the base member 17 are substantially the same, the base member 17 is placed at the bottom of the lower case 3. Even in the state of being attached, there is no problem in engaging the head portion 31a of the wall hanging member 31 with the retaining portion 13 of the convex portions 11 and 12. Thus, even when the telephone 1 is hung on the wall, the base member 17 can be kept attached to the lower case 3, so that the trouble of removing it can be saved and the base member 17 can be used before being used on the desktop next time. There is no risk of losing the member 17. Further, when the telephone 1 is attached to the wall-hanging member 31, the protrusion 18 d of the base member 17 is engaged with the elastic engagement piece 3 a of the lower case 3, thereby closely contacting the bottom portion of the lower case 3 of the base member 17. Since the state is maintained, the workability of installation is improved.
[0021]
In the present embodiment, the base member 17 is provided, and the engagement recesses 23a and 23b that hold the support member 15 formed on the base member 17 hold the engagement portion 15b of the support member 15. By providing an engaging portion for restricting the pivot end of the support member 15 on the pivot portion 15a side of the support member 15 and the bearing portion 11e, the lower end of the support member 15 can be directly connected to the table without providing the base member 17. 27 may be placed. In addition, the telephone is given as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various information terminals and electronic devices may be used. It can be applied as long as it is provided.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, even if a large load is applied from above the housing, the pivot of the support member is detached from the bearing portion, so that the support member is damaged or the bearing portion is damaged. Can be prevented.
