Description

本発明は折畳式携帯無線端末の筐体開閉角度調節器に係り、特に、第1の筐体部と第2の筐体部の各一側端部が開閉自在にヒンジ部により結合された折畳式携帯電話機等の折畳式携帯無線端末の第1の筐体部と第2の筐体部との開閉角度を調節する折畳式携帯無線端末の筐体開閉角度調節器に関する。   The present invention relates to a case opening / closing angle adjuster of a foldable portable wireless terminal, and in particular, one side ends of a first case portion and a second case portion are connected by a hinge portion so as to be freely opened and closed. The present invention relates to a case opening / closing angle adjuster for a foldable portable wireless terminal that adjusts an opening / closing angle between a first case portion and a second case portion of a foldable portable wireless terminal such as a foldable portable telephone.

内側面にマイクや各種キーが設けられた第1の筐体部と、内側面に表示部やスピーカが設けられた第2の筐体部の各一側端部が開閉自在にヒンジ部により結合された構造の折畳式携帯電話機では、近年、多機能化が進んでいる背景もあり、第1及び第2の筐体部の長さが比較的長く、そのため、第1及び第2の筐体部の各内側面同士を完全に開いた使用状態では、第1の筐体部の内側面に設けられたマイクから、第2の筐体部の内側面に設けられたスピーカまでの距離が、利用者の口から耳までの長さを超えているケースがある(例えば、子供や女性では特に顕著なケースと考えられる)。このようなケースにおいては、携帯電話機そのもののハードスペックを十分に活かしきれないと予想される。   Each side end of the first case with the microphone and various keys on the inner side and the second case with the display and speaker on the inner side is connected by a hinge that can be opened and closed In the foldable mobile phone having the above-described structure, there is a background that multifunctionality has been advanced in recent years, and the lengths of the first and second housing parts are relatively long. Therefore, the first and second housing parts are relatively long. In a use state in which the inner side surfaces of the body part are completely opened, the distance from the microphone provided on the inner side surface of the first housing part to the speaker provided on the inner side surface of the second housing part is There are cases in which the length from the user's mouth to the ear is exceeded (for example, it is considered to be particularly remarkable in children and women). In such a case, it is expected that the hardware specifications of the mobile phone itself cannot be fully utilized.

そこで、本問題を解消するための方法として次の2つの方法が考えられる。第1の方法は、スピーカ位置、マイク位置そのものの移動及び調節を可能にする方法であり、第2の方法は、携帯電話機の筐体開閉角度を調節するという、既存の機能を使用する方法である。この筐体開閉角度を調節するため、従来より、ヒンジ部の開閉角度を調整する回転機構を制御して、ヒンジ部の開閉角度を一定範囲で変化させつつ、無線信号の受信レベルを検出し、この受信レベルが最大となる開閉角度が保持されるように、ヒンジ部の開閉角度を保持する回転機構を制御する制御機構を備えた折畳式携帯電話機が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Therefore, the following two methods can be considered as methods for solving this problem. The first method is a method that enables movement and adjustment of the speaker position and the microphone position itself, and the second method is a method that uses an existing function of adjusting the casing opening / closing angle of the mobile phone. is there. In order to adjust the housing opening / closing angle, conventionally, the rotation mechanism for adjusting the opening / closing angle of the hinge part is controlled to detect the reception level of the radio signal while changing the opening / closing angle of the hinge part within a certain range. A foldable mobile phone is known that includes a control mechanism that controls a rotation mechanism that maintains the opening / closing angle of the hinge so that the opening / closing angle at which the reception level is maximized is maintained (for example, Patent Document 1). reference).

また、ヒンジ部に調整機構を取り付けることにより、第1の筐体部と第2の筐体部との開閉角度を90度から180度の間でユーザによって任意に調整される筐体開閉角度調節器が、本出願人により提案されている(例えば、特願2003−107704号)。   In addition, by attaching an adjustment mechanism to the hinge portion, the housing opening / closing angle adjustment that allows the user to arbitrarily adjust the opening / closing angle between the first housing portion and the second housing portion between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. A device has been proposed by the present applicant (for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-107704).

特許第3424607号Japanese Patent No. 3424607

しかるに、マイクからスピーカまでの距離を調整するための上記の第1及び第2の方法のうち、第1の方法では、携帯電話機のスピーカ、マイク以外のハード構造にも影響を及ぼす可能性があり、またデフォルトのスピーカ位置、マイク位置で問題無い使用者が存在した場合、移動及び調節機能そのものが不要であるため、結果としてサービスダウンとなってしまうと考えられる。また、上記の第2の方法を実現する特許文献1記載の折畳式携帯電話機は、受信レベルを最大とするようにヒンジ部の開閉角度を制御することで、第1及び第2の筐体部の開閉角度を調整するものであり、使用者の任意の開閉角度に調整することができない。   However, of the first and second methods for adjusting the distance from the microphone to the speaker, the first method may affect the hardware structure other than the speaker and microphone of the mobile phone. In addition, if there is a user who has no problem with the default speaker position and microphone position, the movement and adjustment functions themselves are unnecessary, and as a result, the service is considered to be down. Further, the foldable mobile phone described in Patent Document 1 that implements the second method controls the first and second casings by controlling the opening / closing angle of the hinge portion so as to maximize the reception level. The opening / closing angle of the unit is adjusted, and cannot be adjusted to an arbitrary opening / closing angle of the user.

また、上記の本出願人の提案になる従来の筐体開閉角度調節器は、携帯電話機本体のヒンジ部分に内蔵若しくは外付けにより設けられ、ヒンジ部分の機構に依存して角度調節する構成である。一方、折畳式携帯電話機の利用態様の一つに、机上に置いた状態で利用することがあるが、折畳式携帯電話機を机上に置いて第1及び第2の筐体部を所定角度開いた状態で保持する場合、開状態の角度というのはハードのヒンジ部に依存するため、上記の本出願人の提案になる従来の筐体開閉角度調節器を用いても利用者の好む角度で筐体を保持することが困難である。   Further, the conventional case opening / closing angle adjuster proposed by the applicant of the present invention is provided in the hinge portion of the mobile phone body by being built in or externally attached, and is configured to adjust the angle depending on the mechanism of the hinge portion. . On the other hand, one of the usage modes of a foldable mobile phone is to use it in a state where it is placed on a desk, but the foldable mobile phone is placed on a desk and the first and second casings are placed at a predetermined angle. When holding in an open state, the angle of the open state depends on the hard hinge part, so even if the conventional housing opening / closing angle adjuster proposed by the applicant is used, the angle preferred by the user It is difficult to hold the casing.

特に近年の折畳式携帯電話機では、カメラ搭載、高精細液晶の搭載等の高機能化により、液晶表示素子による表示部が設けられた第2の筐体部の重量が大きく、操作用キーが設けられた第1の筐体部を机上に設置した状態で、第1及び第2の筐体部を任意の角度開いた状態で保持することは困難である。   In particular, in recent foldable mobile phones, the weight of the second casing portion provided with the display portion by the liquid crystal display element is large due to the high functionality such as camera mounting and high-definition liquid crystal mounting. It is difficult to hold the first and second casing portions in an opened state at an arbitrary angle in a state where the provided first casing portion is installed on a desk.

本発明は以上の点に鑑みなされたもので、既存の折畳式携帯無線端末の構成を変更することなく、第1及び第2の筐体部の開閉角度を任意に調節し得る折畳式携帯無線端末の筐体開閉角度調節器を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is a foldable type that can arbitrarily adjust the opening and closing angles of the first and second housing parts without changing the configuration of an existing foldable portable wireless terminal. An object of the present invention is to provide a casing opening / closing angle adjuster for a portable wireless terminal.

In the closed state where the side faces and substantially contacts, the outer side surfaces of the first and second casing portions are not in contact with each other, and the inner side surfaces of the first casing portion and the second casing portion are not in contact with each other. In the open state in which the side surfaces are separated from each other, the opening angle between the inner side surfaces of the first and second housing units is in contact with the outer surface of the first or second housing unit. The and a angle limiting portion for limiting to a predetermined angle or less, the substrate portion, sandwiching the first housing portion, two side portions adjacent to the one end coupled to the hinge portion in the vicinity of the hinge portion It is tightened with a tightening tool and fixed to the first casing.

また、上記の目的を達成するため、第の発明の筐体開閉角度調節器は、第の発明の折畳式携帯無線端末が、第1の筐体部の内側面にマイクと共に操作用各種キーが設けられており、第2の筐体部の内側面にスピーカと共に表示部が設けられた折畳式携帯電話機であり、角度制限部分が、開状態時には第2の筐体部の外側面と接触することを特徴とする。 To achieve the above object, the housing opening angle adjuster of the fourth invention, the third inventions of the folder type mobile wireless terminal operated with a microphone on the inner surface of the first housing portion Keys are provided, and the mobile phone is a foldable mobile phone in which a display unit is provided together with a speaker on the inner surface of the second housing unit. It is characterized by being in contact with the outer surface.

本発明の第1の効果は、折畳式携帯無線端末の第1及び第2の筐体部の各内側面の間の開き角度を、マイクとスピーカの間の距離が利用者の口と耳との距離に合わせるような制限することができると共に、その開き角度の制限を、既存、新規を問わずどのような折畳式携帯無線端末にも適用することができることにある。本発明の筐体開閉角度調節器は、外付けのアタッチメント形式にて折畳式携帯無線端末に取り付けられるためである。   The first effect of the present invention is that the opening angle between the inner side surfaces of the first and second housing parts of the foldable portable wireless terminal is set so that the distance between the microphone and the speaker is the mouth and ear of the user. The opening angle can be limited to match the distance between the mobile phone and the folding angle of the mobile phone. This is because the casing opening / closing angle adjuster of the present invention is attached to the folding portable wireless terminal in the form of an external attachment.

また、本発明の第2の効果は、折畳式携帯無線端末に装着した場合であっても既存の折畳式携帯無線端末の携帯性を損なうことがないことである。その理由は、折畳式携帯無線端末のヒンジ部分に近い位置で筐体開角度に制限を持たせており、非常にコンパクトに折畳式携帯無線端末の第1及び第2の筐体部の各内側面の間の開き角度を所定角度以下に制限することができるためである。   In addition, the second effect of the present invention is that the portability of an existing foldable portable radio terminal is not impaired even when the foldable portable radio terminal is attached. The reason is that the housing opening angle is limited at a position close to the hinge portion of the folding portable wireless terminal, and the first and second casing portions of the folding portable wireless terminal are very compact. This is because the opening angle between the inner side surfaces can be limited to a predetermined angle or less.

また、本発明の第3の効果は、本発明は単にヒンジ部分の制御により角度調節を行うのではなく、第1の筐体部及び第2の筐体部そのものの動作範囲を制限する角度調節機能を有するものであり、第1及び第2の筐体部の両方を保持する構造を有するため、操作用の各種キーが設けられた第1の筐体部を机上に設置した状態で、第1及び第2の筐体部を任意の角度開いた状態で長期間保持でき、机上等に設置したときの安定感を向上できる。   In addition, the third effect of the present invention is that the present invention does not simply adjust the angle by controlling the hinge part, but adjusts the operating range of the first casing and the second casing itself. Since it has a function and has a structure for holding both the first and second housing parts, the first housing part provided with various keys for operation is installed on the desk, The 1st and 2nd housing | casing part can be hold | maintained for a long time in the state opened by arbitrary angles, and a sense of stability when installing on a desk etc. can be improved.

また、本発明の第4の効果は、折畳式携帯無線端末の使用時の使い勝手を向上できることである。その理由は、スピーカとマイク間の距離の短縮のために筐体開角度を制限すると、使用時に折畳式携帯無線端末の画面が見やすくなるためである。   In addition, the fourth effect of the present invention is that it is possible to improve the usability when using the folding portable wireless terminal. The reason is that if the casing opening angle is limited in order to shorten the distance between the speaker and the microphone, the screen of the foldable portable wireless terminal can be easily seen during use.

次に、本発明を実施するための最良の形態について図面と共に説明する。図1は本発明になる折畳式携帯無線端末の筐体開閉角度調節器の一実施の形態の非装着状態と装着状態の折畳式携帯無線端末の斜視図を示す。すなわち、図1(A)は筐体開閉角度調節器の非装着状態のときの折畳式携帯無線端末の一例の外観斜視図、図1(B)は本発明の筐体開閉角度調節器の一実施の形態の装着状態のときの折畳式携帯無線端末の一例の外観斜視図を示す。両図中、同一構成部分には同一符号を付してある。   Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a foldable portable wireless terminal in a non-mounted state and a mounted state of an embodiment of a case opening / closing angle adjuster of the foldable portable wireless terminal according to the present invention. 1A is an external perspective view of an example of a foldable portable wireless terminal when the housing opening / closing angle adjuster is not attached, and FIG. 1B is a housing opening / closing angle adjusting device according to the present invention. The external appearance perspective view of an example of the foldable portable radio | wireless terminal at the time of the mounting state of one Embodiment is shown. In both drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

図1(A)は、折畳式携帯無線端末の一例としての従来の折畳式携帯電話機が示されており、この折畳式携帯電話機は内側面にマイクや各種キーが設けられた第1の筐体部1と、内側面に表示部やスピーカが設けられた第2の筐体部2の各一側端部が開閉自在にヒンジ部3により結合された構造である。図1(A)は、第1の筐体部1の内側面と第2の筐体部2の内側面とが対向して略密接する「閉」状態(「折畳」状態)を示す。第1の筐体部1の底面(外側面)は平坦であり、机上等に設置する場合にも影響を与えないものとする。   FIG. 1A shows a conventional foldable mobile phone as an example of a foldable mobile radio terminal. This foldable mobile phone is a first in which a microphone and various keys are provided on the inner surface. The one side end portion of the housing portion 1 and the second housing portion 2 provided with a display portion and a speaker on the inner surface are coupled by a hinge portion 3 so as to be freely opened and closed. FIG. 1A shows a “closed” state (“folded” state) in which the inner surface of the first housing portion 1 and the inner surface of the second housing portion 2 face each other and are in close contact with each other. The bottom surface (outer surface) of the first casing unit 1 is flat and does not affect the case where it is installed on a desk or the like.

図1(B)は、図1(A)に示した折畳式携帯電話機のヒンジ部3の外部にアタッチメントとして本実施の形態の筐体開閉角度調節器4が取り付けられた状態の外観斜視図を示す。筐体開閉角度調節器4は、第1の筐体部1と略同じ厚さ(高さ)と幅を有し、かつ、所定の長さを有する所定の平板状基体部分4aと、基体部分4aの上に設けられた、第1の筐体部1と略同じ厚さ(高さ)と幅を有する四角柱状の角度制限部分4bとからなり、全体として断面がL字状の構成である。角度制限部分4bは、折畳式携帯電話機の折畳状態では、図1(B)に示すように、第2の筐体部2とは非接触となるような基体部分4aの上の位置に設けられている。また、筐体開閉角度調節器4は、折畳式携帯電話機に対して着脱自在に設けられる。   FIG. 1B is an external perspective view showing a state in which the housing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 of the present embodiment is attached as an attachment to the outside of the hinge portion 3 of the folding mobile phone shown in FIG. Indicates. The casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 has a predetermined flat plate-like base portion 4a having substantially the same thickness (height) and width as the first casing portion 1 and a predetermined length, and a base portion. 4a is formed of a quadrangular prism-shaped angle limiting portion 4b having substantially the same thickness (height) and width as the first casing 1 and having an L-shaped cross section as a whole. . In the folded state of the foldable mobile phone, the angle limiting portion 4b is positioned above the base portion 4a so as not to come into contact with the second housing portion 2 as shown in FIG. Is provided. The casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 is detachably provided to the foldable mobile phone.

図2(A)は筐体開閉角度調節器の非装着状態で、開状態の折畳式携帯無線端末の一例の外観斜視図、図2(B)は本発明の筐体開閉角度調節器の一実施の形態の装着状態で、開状態のときの折畳式携帯無線端末の一例の外観斜視図を示す。両図中、同一構成部分には同一符号を付してある。   FIG. 2A is an external perspective view of an example of a folded portable wireless terminal in an opened state without the housing opening / closing angle adjuster, and FIG. 2B is a housing opening / closing angle adjuster of the present invention. The external appearance perspective view of an example of the foldable portable radio | wireless terminal in the mounting state of one Embodiment at the time of an open state is shown. In both drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

図2(A)は、第1の筐体部1の内側面と第2の筐体部2の内側面とが所定角度離間された「開」状態の外観を示しており、第1の筐体部1の内側面には、マイク5や操作用の各種キー6が設けられている。また、第2の筐体部2の内側面には、液晶表示素子による表示部7やスピーカ8が設けられている。この構成自体は従来と同じである。   FIG. 2A shows an external appearance in an “open” state in which the inner side surface of the first casing unit 1 and the inner side surface of the second casing unit 2 are separated by a predetermined angle. A microphone 5 and various keys 6 for operation are provided on the inner surface of the body part 1. In addition, a display unit 7 and a speaker 8 that are liquid crystal display elements are provided on the inner side surface of the second casing unit 2. This configuration itself is the same as the conventional one.

図2(B)は、図2(A)に示した折畳式携帯電話機のヒンジ部3の外部にアタッチメントとして本実施の形態の筐体開閉角度調節器4が取り付けられた状態の外観斜視図を示し、本実施の形態の筐体開閉角度調節器4の角度制限部分4bに第2の筐体部2の外側面が接触することにより、第2の筐体部2の動きを規制し、第1の筐体部1の内側面と第2の筐体部2の内側面との間の開状態のときの開き角度を物理的に制限している。筐体開閉角度調節器4は、開き角度に制限を付加する目的にのみ使用され、それ以外の機能にはマイナスとなる要因を与えない。   FIG. 2B is an external perspective view in a state where the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 of the present embodiment is attached as an attachment to the outside of the hinge portion 3 of the folding mobile phone shown in FIG. And the movement of the second housing portion 2 is restricted by contacting the outer surface of the second housing portion 2 with the angle limiting portion 4b of the housing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 of the present embodiment, The opening angle in the open state between the inner side surface of the first casing unit 1 and the inner side surface of the second casing unit 2 is physically limited. The casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 is used only for the purpose of limiting the opening angle, and does not give negative factors to other functions.

ここで、筐体開閉角度調節器4の素材は、角度制限部分4bが第2の筐体部2の外側面と接触しても、第2の筐体部2の外側面に傷等を与えない素材に設定されており、例えば、ウレタン、スポンジ等の弾力性、緩衝性に優れた素材を用い得る。ただし、角度制限部分4bは第1の筐体部1と第2の筐体部2の間の開き角度を物理的に制限するものであるため、実際には上記の素材だけでは所期の目的達成が困難であるので、上記の素材によりコーティングされたプラスチック等の弾力性を有しない素材が用いられる。   Here, the material of the housing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 gives scratches or the like to the outer surface of the second housing portion 2 even when the angle limiting portion 4b contacts the outer surface of the second housing portion 2. For example, a material having excellent elasticity and buffering properties such as urethane and sponge can be used. However, since the angle limiting portion 4b physically limits the opening angle between the first casing portion 1 and the second casing portion 2, in reality, the above-mentioned material alone is the intended purpose. Since it is difficult to achieve, a non-elastic material such as plastic coated with the above material is used.

次に、筐体開閉角度調節器4の構成について更に詳細に説明する。筐体開閉角度調節器4は折畳式携帯電話機に対して着脱自在に接続される構成であり、その第1の構成は、図3(A)、(B)に41で示すように、第1の筐体部1と第2の筐体部2との接続部分であるヒンジ部分3を覆うように接続する構成である。この場合、筐体開閉角度調節器41の基体部分4aは、ゴム若しくは長さ制限可能なベルト状であり、ヒンジ部分3と第1の筐体部1の一部とを接続するための切欠部3cが設けられている。   Next, the configuration of the housing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 will be described in more detail. The casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 is configured to be detachably connected to the foldable mobile phone, and the first configuration thereof is the first as shown by 41 in FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B). In this configuration, the hinge portion 3, which is a connection portion between the first housing portion 1 and the second housing portion 2, is connected. In this case, the base body portion 4a of the housing opening / closing angle adjuster 41 is rubber or a belt-shaped belt whose length can be limited, and a notch for connecting the hinge portion 3 and a part of the first housing portion 1 to each other. 3c is provided.

この筐体開閉角度調節器41の折畳式携帯電話機に対する装着の強度は、折畳式携帯電話機の筐体部1、2を開いたときに、どの程度の負荷・強度が筐体部1にかかるのか、折畳式携帯電話機のメーカ、操作の仕方などにより様々であるが、少なくとも筐体部1、2を開いたときの負荷に耐え得る強度が必要である。この筐体開閉角度調節器41は、着脱が割合に容易である。   The mounting strength of the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 41 with respect to the foldable mobile phone is such that the load / strength is applied to the casing 1 when the casings 1 and 2 of the foldable mobile phone are opened. Whether this is the case depends on the manufacturer of the foldable mobile phone, the manner of operation, and the like, but at least strength sufficient to withstand the load when the casings 1 and 2 are opened is required. The casing opening / closing angle adjuster 41 is relatively easy to attach and detach.

筐体開閉角度調節器4の第2の構成としては、図4(A)の外観斜視図、同図(B)の上面図にそれぞれ42で示すように、第1の筐体部1に直接接合する構成である。この筐体開閉角度調節器42では、基体部4aが第1の筐体部1の側面を、緩衝材の一例としての筐体保護用スポンジ4eを介して挟み込む形にて接合する構造となっている。ヒンジ部3付近の第1の筐体部1の、ヒンジ部3に結合された一側端部に隣接する2つの側面部(図4(B)では、図中、上下2つの側面部)を挟み込む形で万力のような構造にて挟み込む。この挟み込む力を調節するために、締め付け用ネジ4dが設けられている。この筐体開閉角度調節器42も折畳式携帯電話機に対して着脱が可能である。なお、図3及び図4は筐体開閉角度調節器4(41、42)の構成を説明する図であるため、その構成の説明に関係のない図2(A)、(B)に示したマイク5、各種キー6、表示部7、スピーカ8は図示を省略してある。   As the second configuration of the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4, as shown by 42 in the external perspective view of FIG. 4A and the top view of FIG. It is the structure to join. The casing opening / closing angle adjuster 42 has a structure in which the base portion 4a joins the side surfaces of the first casing portion 1 with a casing protecting sponge 4e as an example of a cushioning material interposed therebetween. Yes. Two side surface portions (in FIG. 4 (B), two upper and lower side surface portions in FIG. 4B) adjacent to one end portion of the first housing portion 1 near the hinge portion 3 coupled to the hinge portion 3 Clamp in a vise-like structure. In order to adjust this clamping force, a tightening screw 4d is provided. The housing opening / closing angle adjuster 42 can also be attached to and detached from the folding cellular phone. 3 and 4 are diagrams for explaining the configuration of the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 (41, 42), and therefore, shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, which are not related to the description of the configuration. The microphone 5, various keys 6, the display unit 7, and the speaker 8 are not shown.

次に、本実施の形態の動作について図5と共に説明する。図5(A)は筐体開閉角度調節器の非装着状態で、開状態の折畳式携帯電話機の一例の外観斜視図とそのときの筐体開角度イメージ10を示し、図5(B)は本発明の筐体開閉角度調節器の一実施の形態の装着状態で、開状態のときの折畳式携帯電話機の一例の外観斜視図とそのときの筐体開角度イメージ11を示す。同図中、図2(A)、(B)と同一構成部分には同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。なお、図5(A)、(B)では図示の便宜上、図2(A)、(B)に示した各種キー6と表示部7は図示を省略してある。   Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A shows an external perspective view of an example of a folding mobile phone in an open state with the housing opening / closing angle adjuster not attached, and a housing opening angle image 10 at that time, and FIG. These are the external appearance perspective views of an example of the folding-type mobile phone in the open state, and the case opening angle image 11 at that time, when the case opening / closing angle adjuster of the present invention is mounted. In the figure, the same components as those in FIGS. 2A and 2B are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. 5A and 5B, the various keys 6 and the display unit 7 shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B are not shown for convenience of illustration.

従来と同様に、筐体開閉角度調節器の非装着状態で、開状態のときの折畳式携帯電話機では、その筐体開角度イメージは図5(A)に10で示すように、第1の筐体部1の内側面と第2の筐体部2の内側面とが所定角度θ1離間した状態にある。ここで、第1の筐体部1の開閉軸方向と直交する方向の、すなわち、マイク5とスピーカ8を結ぶ直線方向の長さをy、第2の筐体部2のマイク5とスピーカ8を結ぶ直線方向の長さをxとすると、マイク5とスピーカ8との間の距離z1は次式で表される。   As in the conventional case, in the folding cellular phone when the case opening / closing angle adjuster is not attached and in the open state, the image of the case opening angle is the first as shown by 10 in FIG. The inner side surface of the casing portion 1 and the inner side surface of the second casing portion 2 are separated from each other by a predetermined angle θ1. Here, the length in the direction orthogonal to the opening / closing axis direction of the first casing unit 1, that is, the length in the linear direction connecting the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 is y, and the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 of the second casing unit 2. If the length in the straight line direction connecting x is x, the distance z1 between the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 is expressed by the following equation.

z1=√(x+y−2xycosθ1) (1)
一方、本実施の形態の筐体開閉角度調節器4を装着した状態で、開状態のときの折畳式携帯電話機の筐体開角度イメージは図5(B)に11で示すように、開角度が制限され、第1の筐体部1の内側面と第2の筐体部2の内側面とが角度θ2(<θ1)離間した状態にある。このときのマイク5とスピーカ8との間の距離z2は次式で表される。
z1 = √ (x 2 + y 2 −2xycos θ1) (1)
On the other hand, when the case opening / closing angle adjuster 4 of the present embodiment is attached, the image of the case opening angle of the foldable mobile phone in the open state is as shown by 11 in FIG. The angle is limited, and the inner side surface of the first casing unit 1 and the inner side surface of the second casing unit 2 are in a state of being separated by an angle θ2 (<θ1). The distance z2 between the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 at this time is expressed by the following equation.

z2=√(x+y−2xycosθ2) (2)
ここで、本実施の形態の筐体開閉角度調節器4を装着することにより、折畳式携帯電話機の開角度が従来のθ1からθ2に制限されるため、(1)式で表されるz1と(2)式で表されるz2とは
z1>z2 (3)
の関係が成り立つ。すなわち、本実施の形態の筐体開閉角度調節器4を装着することにより、マイク5とスピーカ8との間の距離を筐体開閉角度調節器4が未装着の従来の折畳式携帯電話機のそれよりも短くすることができる。なお、本実施の形態の筐体開閉角度調節器4を装着したときのマイク5とスピーカ8との間の距離z2の変化長は、折畳式携帯電話機の装置の仕様によるが、仮にx=1、y=1、90<θ2<180とした場合、
√2<z2<2 (4)
となり、最大値の1/2乗まで小さくすることが可能となる。
z2 = √ (x 2 + y 2 −2 xy cos θ 2 ) (2)
Here, by mounting the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 of the present embodiment, the opening angle of the foldable mobile phone is limited to the conventional θ1 to θ2, so z1 represented by the equation (1) And z2 represented by the formula (2): z1> z2 (3)
The relationship holds. That is, by mounting the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 of the present embodiment, the distance between the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 is set to the distance between the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 of the conventional foldable mobile phone not mounted with the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 It can be shorter. Note that the length of change in the distance z2 between the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 when the housing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 of the present embodiment is mounted depends on the specifications of the folding mobile phone device, but x = 1, y = 1, 90 <θ2 <180,
√2 <z2 <2 (4)
Thus, the maximum value can be reduced to the 1/2 power.

ところで、現在、携帯電話機の普及率は全国民のおよそ半分にも達しており、幼年の利用者も少なくない。しかし、従来の折畳式携帯電話機の開状態時のマイク5とスピーカ8との間の距離z1は、一般的な大人に合わせた値になっているので、幼年の利用者が折畳式携帯電話機を実際に利用する場合、携帯電話機のスピーカ8を幼年の利用者の耳にあてた状態では携帯電話機のマイク5は幼年の利用者の口の位置に合わないケースが考えられる。   By the way, the penetration rate of mobile phones now reaches about half of all the nations, and there are not a few users of childhood. However, since the distance z1 between the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 when the conventional folding cellular phone is in the open state is a value suitable for a general adult, the child user can fold the cellular phone. When the telephone is actually used, there may be a case where the microphone 5 of the mobile phone does not match the position of the child's mouth when the speaker 8 of the mobile phone is applied to the ear of the child.

しかし、本実施の形態の筐体開閉角度調節器4を折畳式携帯電話機に取り付けることで、携帯電話機の開状態時のマイク5とスピーカ8との間の距離z2を(4)式に示したように、最大値の1/2乗まで小さくすることができるので、距離z2が幼年の利用者の口と耳の間の距離程度に短くなる筐体開閉角度調節器4を折畳式携帯電話機に取り付けることで、幼年の利用者でも快適に通話を行うことができる。   However, the distance z2 between the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 when the cellular phone is in the open state is shown in the formula (4) by attaching the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 of the present embodiment to the folding cellular phone. As described above, since the maximum value can be reduced to the 1/2 power, the case opening / closing angle adjuster 4 in which the distance z2 is shortened to the distance between the mouth and ears of a child user can be folded. By attaching to a telephone, even a young user can make a comfortable call.

このように、本実施の形態によれば、折畳式携帯電話機の開き角度を利用者の口と耳との距離に合わせて調節するために、外付けのアタッチメント形式にて折畳式携帯電話機に取り付けられるため、どのような折畳式携帯電話機でも、マイクとスピーカの間の距離を利用者に合わせた開き角度にすることができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the folding mobile phone can be attached in the form of an external attachment in order to adjust the opening angle of the folding mobile phone according to the distance between the user's mouth and ear. Therefore, in any foldable mobile phone, the distance between the microphone and the speaker can be set to an opening angle that matches the user.

また、本実施の形態では、折畳式携帯電話機のヒンジ部分に近い位置で筐体開角度に制限を持たせており、非常にコンパクトに所期の機能を果たすことが可能であるため、折畳式携帯電話機に装着した場合であっても既存の折畳式携帯電話機の携帯性を損なうことがない。   In the present embodiment, the casing opening angle is limited at a position close to the hinge portion of the foldable mobile phone, and the intended function can be achieved very compactly. Even when the foldable mobile phone is mounted, the portability of the existing foldable mobile phone is not impaired.

また、本実施の形態は、単にヒンジ部分の制御により角度調節を行うのではなく、第1の筐体部1及び第2の筐体部2そのものの動作範囲を制限する角度調節機能を有するものであり、第1及び第2の筐体部1及び2の両方を保持する構造を有するため、操作用の各種キー6が設けられた第1の筐体部1を机上に設置した状態で、第1及び第2の筐体部1、2を任意の角度開いた状態で長期間保持できる。更に、この実施の形態では、スピーカとマイク間の距離の短縮のために筐体開角度を制限すると、使用時に折畳式携帯電話機の画面が見やすくなり、また机上等に設置したときの安定感が向上するため、折畳式携帯電話機の使用時の使い勝手を向上できる。   In addition, the present embodiment has an angle adjustment function that limits the operating range of the first casing unit 1 and the second casing unit 2 itself, rather than simply adjusting the angle by controlling the hinge portion. Since it has a structure that holds both the first and second casing portions 1 and 2, in a state where the first casing portion 1 provided with various keys 6 for operation is installed on the desk, The 1st and 2nd housing | casing parts 1 and 2 can be hold | maintained for a long period in the state opened by arbitrary angles. In addition, in this embodiment, if the opening angle of the housing is limited to reduce the distance between the speaker and the microphone, the screen of the foldable mobile phone becomes easy to see during use, and a sense of stability when installed on a desk or the like is also provided. Therefore, it is possible to improve the usability when using the foldable mobile phone.

なお、図1(B)、図2(B)及び図5(B)に示した筐体開閉角度調節器4の高さは固定の一定値であるので、開角度θ2は一定となり、従って(2)式で表される携帯電話機の開状態時のマイク5とスピーカ8との間の距離z2も一定となる。従って、高さを異ならせた複数種類の筐体開閉角度調節器を提供し、利用者の口と耳の間の距離に合わせた高さの筐体開閉角度調節器を選択させることで、利用者に最適な開角度が得られるようにできる。携帯電話機は一般に個人により使用されるものであり、通常は複数人が一つの携帯電話機を共用することはなく、仮に共用するとしても筐体開閉角度調節器4は着脱自在であるので、必要に応じて、別の筐体開閉角度調節器を装着したり、取り外せばよいので、問題はない。   Since the height of the casing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 shown in FIGS. 1B, 2B, and 5B is a fixed constant value, the opening angle θ2 is constant, and therefore ( The distance z2 between the microphone 5 and the speaker 8 when the mobile phone represented by the formula (2) is open is also constant. Therefore, by providing multiple types of housing opening / closing angle adjusters with different heights, the user can select the housing opening / closing angle adjuster with a height that matches the distance between the user's mouth and ear. The optimal opening angle can be obtained for the person. The mobile phone is generally used by an individual. Usually, a plurality of people do not share a single mobile phone, and the housing opening / closing angle adjuster 4 is detachable even if it is shared. Accordingly, there is no problem because another case opening / closing angle adjuster may be attached or removed.

しかし、高さを可変することができる筐体開閉角度調節器も可能であることは勿論である。この場合、例えば図6に概略構成を示す高さ調整機構を用いる。同図において、筐体開閉角度調節器の基体部分21aの一側端部に固定された角度制限部分21bは、高さ方向を長手方向とする長穴が高さ調整用ブランク22として穿設されており、その高さ調整用ブランク22にはネジ23が矢印方向に移動自在に設けられる。更に、角度制限部分21bは中空であり、その中空内部にネジ23と一体的に矢印方向に上下移動可能な角度制限部分21cが設けられており、ネジ23を締めるとネジ23と角度制限部分21cがその位置に固定されるようになされている。角度制限部分21cの上部付近に第2の筐体部の外側面が接触して開き角度が制限される。   However, it goes without saying that a housing opening / closing angle adjuster capable of changing the height is also possible. In this case, for example, a height adjustment mechanism having a schematic configuration shown in FIG. 6 is used. In the figure, an angle limiting portion 21b fixed to one end of the base portion 21a of the casing opening / closing angle adjuster has a long hole having a height direction as a longitudinal direction as a height adjusting blank 22. The height adjusting blank 22 is provided with a screw 23 movably in the direction of the arrow. Further, the angle limiting portion 21b is hollow, and an angle limiting portion 21c that can be moved up and down in the direction of the arrow integrally with the screw 23 is provided inside the hollow. When the screw 23 is tightened, the screw 23 and the angle limiting portion 21c are provided. Is fixed in that position. The outer surface of the second casing portion comes into contact with the vicinity of the upper portion of the angle limiting portion 21c to limit the opening angle.

これにより、ネジ23を緩め、ネジ23を高さ調整用ブランク22内で任意の高さに移動させてネジ23を締めることにより、そのネジ23の高さに応じた高さに角度制限部分21cが固定されることとなり、角度制限部分21cの上部により第2の筐体部の外側面が接触して開き角度が制限されると共に、その開き角度がネジ23の高さに応じた角度に調整されることとなる。従って、このような高さを可変することができる筐体開閉角度調節器を折畳式携帯電話機に装着した場合は、筐体の開閉角度調節が可能となり、これにより利用者個々に合った折畳式携帯電話機のマイクの位置及びスピーカの位置に合わせた角度に筐体開閉角度を保持することができる。   As a result, the screw 23 is loosened, the screw 23 is moved to an arbitrary height in the height adjusting blank 22 and the screw 23 is tightened, whereby the angle limiting portion 21c is adjusted to a height corresponding to the height of the screw 23. Is fixed, and the upper surface of the angle limiting portion 21c is in contact with the outer surface of the second casing to limit the opening angle, and the opening angle is adjusted to an angle corresponding to the height of the screw 23. Will be. Therefore, when a case opening / closing angle adjuster capable of changing the height is mounted on a foldable mobile phone, the opening / closing angle of the case can be adjusted. The housing opening / closing angle can be held at an angle that matches the position of the microphone and the position of the speaker of the tatami-type mobile phone.

なお、本発明は以上の実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば、筐体開閉角度調節器は、第2の筐体部に取り付けて、第1の筐体部の開き角度を制限することも原理的には可能である。   In addition, this invention is not limited to the above embodiment, For example, a housing | casing opening / closing angle adjuster is attached to a 2nd housing | casing part, and restrict | limits the opening angle of a 1st housing | casing part. This is also possible in principle.
