【０００２】
【従来の技術】
図６は従来のＧＳＭ（Groupe Special Mobile）方式のディジタル移動体通信用の携帯電話機の一例を示すもので、この携帯電話機は、外殻後部１並びに外殻前部２によって構成される電話機外殻３と、送受信に必要な電力を得るための電池（図示せず）が内装されている電池外殻４と、種々データが予め入力設定されているＳＩＭ（Sigle Inline Memory）カード５とを備えている。
【０００３】
外殻後部１の下端寄り部分には、電池外殻４が嵌入される電池装着用凹部６が形成されている。
【０００４】
この電池装着用凹部６の下端内面には、電池外殻４の下端に設けた電池側係合部７に嵌合し得る電話機本体側係合部８が、外殻後部１に対して一体的に形成されている。
【０００５】
電池装着用凹部６の上端内面には、電池外殻４の上端に一体的に設けた弾性レバー９の突起部１０が嵌入し得る係合孔１１が穿設されている。
【０００６】
上記の外殻後部１と電池外殻４は、該電池外殻４の電池側係合部７が外殻後部１の電話機本体側係合部８に嵌合した状態で、弾性レバー９の弾性力により突起部１０が係合孔１１に嵌入すると、外殻後部１に対して電池外殻４が拘束され、また、外殻後部１に対して電池外殻４が装着されている状態で、手動操作により弾性レバー９をその弾性力に抗して下方へ付勢すると、突起部１０が係合孔１１から抜け出し、外殻後部１に対する電池外殻４の拘束が解除される。
【０００７】
更に、電池装着用凹部６の上端内面には、外殻後部１及び外殻前部２によって囲まれる基板内装空間１２から電池装着用凹部６内へ貫通する挿通孔１３が穿設されている。
【０００８】
外殻前部２には、前記の基板内装空間１２内に配置される基板１４が取り付けられている。
【０００９】
この基板１４の下端寄り部分には、送信先電話番号などを入力設定するためのキーボード部１５が、外殻前部２の下端寄り部分から外部へ露出するように設けられている。
【００１０】
外殻前部２の上端寄り部分には、入力設定された電話番号などを表示するための液晶表示部１６が取り付けられている。
【００１１】
ＳＩＭカード５は、先に述べた挿通孔１３から基板内装空間１２内に挿入され且つ外殻後部１に取り付けられたカード支持台（図示せず）に支持されるようになっている。
【００１２】
また、基板１４の上端寄り部分の外殻後部１側に設けたシールドカバー１７には、ＳＩＭカード５に対する接片１８が取り付けられている。
【００１３】
更に、外殻後部１には、外部からの手動操作によって、基板内装空間１２内のＳＩＭカード５を、挿通孔１３より電池装着用凹部６内へ押し出し得るスライドレバー１９が取り付けられており、該スライドレバー１９は、スプリング（図示せず）によって外殻後部１の上端側へ向かって押圧されている。
【００１４】
図６に示す携帯電話機のおいて、ＳＩＭカード５の交換を行う際には、手動操作により弾性レバー９をその弾性力に抗して下方へ付勢し、外殻後部１に対する電池外殻４の拘束を解除して、該電池外殻４を電話機外殻３から取り外す。
【００１５】
次いで、手動操作によりスライドレバー１９をスプリングの弾性力に抗して下方へ付勢し、基板内装空間１２内のＳＩＭカード５を挿通孔１３から電池装着用凹部６へ押し出す。
【００１６】
この後、別のＳＩＭカード５を挿通孔１３から基板内装空間１２内に挿入したうえ、電池外殻４を外殻後部１に装着する。
【００１７】
このように、ＳＩＭカード５を基板内装空間１２から抜き出す場合には、電話機外殻３からの電池外殻４の取り外しが必須条件となるため、カード交換時にＳＩＭカード５への給電が確実に停止されることになる。
【００１８】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、図６に示す携帯電話機では、電池装着用凹部６の狭隘な上端内面に、係合孔１１と挿通孔１３とを設けているので、当該部分に強度不足が生じないように外殻後部１を設計し且つ生産することは容易ではない。
【００１９】
また、弾性レバー９とスライドレバー１９とが外殻後部１から外部へ突出している形状を、より洗練された外観にしたいという要望もある。
【００２０】
本発明は上述した実情に鑑みてなしたもので、電話機外殻の設計、生産の容易化と美的外観の向上を図り得る携帯電話機を提供することを目的としている。

【００４０】
また、スライドレバー３３の保持部３５の先端、並びに電池外殻２２に付帯する突起部２７の形状は、手動操作によりスライドレバー３３をトーションスプリング４３の弾性力に抗して下方へ付勢したときに、保持部３５の先端部が挿通孔２８に嵌入している突起部２７を外殻後部２１の外方へ押し出し得るように形成されている。
【００４１】
なお、先に述べた接片取付座４１には、ＳＩＭカード５に対する接片が取り付けられている。
【００４２】
図１から図５に示す携帯電話機のおいて、ＳＩＭカード５の交換を行う際には、手動操作によりスライドレバー３３をトーションスプリング４３の弾性力に抗して下方へ付勢すると、スライドレバー３３の保持部３５の先端で挿通孔２８に嵌入している突起部２７が外殻後部２１の外方へ押し出され、外殻後部２１から電池外殻２２を容易に取り外し得る状態になる。
【００４３】
次いで、電池外殻２２を外殻後部２１から取り外し、更に、スライドレバー３３を下方へ付勢すると、カード支持台３０と前記の保持部３５との間に介在しているＳＩＭカード５が、スライドレバー３３の操作部３４によって電池装着用凹部２３内に押し出される。
【００４４】
この後、別のＳＩＭカード５を挿通孔２８からカード支持台３０とスライドレバー３３の保持部３５との間に挿入したうえ、電池外殻２２を外殻後部２１に装着する。
【００４５】
すなわち、ＳＩＭカード５を基板内装空間２９から抜き出す場合には、電話機外殻２０からの電池外殻２２の取り外しが必須条件となるため、カード交換時にＳＩＭカード５への給電が確実に停止されることになる。
【００４６】
このように、図１から図５に示す携帯電話機においては、また、外殻後部２１の基板内装空間２９に配置したカード支持台３０に対してＳＩＭカード５を挿入するための挿通孔２８に、外殻後部２１に対して電池外殻２２を係止するための突起部２７を嵌入させ、基板内装空間２９へのＳＩＭカード５の挿抜と、電話機外殻２０に対する電池外殻２２の係止とを、同一の挿通孔２８によって行うので、電池装着用凹部２３の上端内面に強度低下が生じにくく、外殻後部１の設計及び生産が容易になる。
【００４７】
また、カード支持台３０に支持されているＳＩＭカード５を挿通孔２８から電池装着用凹部２３内へ押し出すための操作部３４に連なる保持部３５の先端を、挿通孔２８に嵌入している突起部２７に当接させて、外殻後部２１に対する電池外殻２２の係合解除と、基板内装空間２９内から外部へのＳＩＭカード５の抜き出しとを、同一のスライドレバーによって行うので、電話機外殻２０の背面側の突出物が減少し、携帯電話機の美的外観の向上を図ることができる。
【００４８】
更に、シールドカバー３１に取り付けた接片取付座４１に、ＳＩＭカード５に対する接片を装着しているので、該接片をＳＩＭカード５に確実に接触させることができる。
【００４９】
なお、本発明の携帯電話機は上述した実施の形態のみに限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において変更を加え得ることは勿論である。
