As shown in the figure, the knurled portion 45 is pressed into the rear cover 15 and fitted in the outer notch 21a toward the right end in FIG. 4, and the hook portion 23 is returned to the original state to hold the held portion. 47 is locked by the hook portion 23.
In this state, since the held portion 47 is locked by the hook portion 23, the held portion 47 is incorporated into the rear cover 15 even when the outer surface side (the side where the concave portion 26 is formed) of the flat plate portion 22 of the rear cover 15 faces upward. The lever operating member 43 does not fall off.

At this time, the engagement between the raised portion 48a of the lock arm portion 48 and the protruding portion 24 results in a temporarily fixed state, and the shift to the close-up photographing position (displacement to the left end side in FIG. 4) is suppressed.
On the other hand, when the lever operating member 43 is incorporated in the rear cover 15 in the close-up photographing position (the state where the knurled portion 45 is moved to the left end side as shown in FIG. 5), the tip end portion of the switching lever 41 41 a is released from the lever grip portion 46 and is not gripped, and the held portion 47 is not locked by the hook portion 23. For this reason, when the outer surface side of the flat plate portion 22 of the rear cover 15 is directed upward, the lever operation member 43 falls off the rear cover 15.

Next, the rear cover 15 is combined with the front case 13. That is, the electronic parts that constitute the electronic camera unit 5, the control unit 3, the storage unit 4, and the like are fitted therein by fitting the front case 13 and the rear cover 15 or by fastening with a fixing tool such as a female screw or a male screw. The assembled main circuit board 16 and the like are assembled.
Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the distal end portion 41 a of the switching lever 41 is loosely fitted in the recess 46, is gripped by the lever gripping portion 46, and is interlocked with the slide operation of the lever gripping portion 46. Can be operated.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the rubbing portion 45 of the lever operation member 43 is formed between the notch portion 21 provided in the side wall portion 19 of the rear cover 15 and the end surface of the side wall portion 14 of the front case 13. It is slidably arranged in the storage part.

When the lever operating member 43 is assembled in the rear cover 15 at the close-up photographing position and the rear cover 15 is combined with the front case 13, the lever gripping portion 46 has the concave portion 46 disposed at the tip 41 a of the switching lever 41. Therefore, the distal end portion 41a of the switching lever 41 is not gripped by the lever gripping portion 46 and cannot be interlocked.
In this example, since the held portion 47 is not locked by the hook portion 23, when the outer surface side of the flat plate portion 22 of the rear cover 15 is directed upward, the lever operation member 43 falls off from the rear cover 15, Problems are prevented in advance.

In the cellular phone 1 assembled in this manner, the lever gripping portion 46 grips the switching lever 41 when the stagnation portion 45 is slid and displaced from the normal photographing position to the close-up photographing position (the direction indicated by the arrow b in FIG. 4). While moving to the close-up shooting switching position.
In addition, while the semi-cylindrical peripheral wall surfaces of the raised portion 48a and the protruding portion 24 are in contact with each other, the lock arm portion 48 (the tip of the root portion is used as a fulcrum so that the raised portion 48a gets over the protruding portion 24). This is done by elastic deformation (as if rotating).
At the close-up photographing position, the engagement between the raised portion 48a of the lock arm portion 48 and the protrusion 24 is brought into a temporarily fixed state, and the transition to the normal photographing position (displacement to the right end side in FIG. 5) is suppressed.
Here, when a force of a predetermined value or more is applied to move over the protrusion 24, the operator is given an operational feeling (click feeling), and the switching completion is recognized.

When the rubbing portion 45 is slid and displaced from the close-up photographing position to the normal photographing position (in the direction indicated by the arrow a in FIG. 5), the lever gripping portion 46 is displaced to the normal photographing switching position while grasping the switching lever 41. .
In addition, while the semi-cylindrical peripheral wall surfaces of the raised portion 48a and the protruding portion 24 are in contact with each other, the lock arm portion 48 (the tip of the root portion is used as a fulcrum so that the raised portion 48a gets over the protruding portion 24). This is done by elastic deformation (as if rotating).
At the normal shooting position, the engagement between the raised portion 48a of the lock arm portion 48 and the projection 24 is brought into a temporarily fixed state, and the shift to the close-up shooting position (displacement to the left end side in FIG. 4) is suppressed. At the close-up photographing position, the engagement between the raised portion 48a of the lock arm portion 48 and the protrusion 24 is brought into a temporarily fixed state, and the transition to the normal photographing position (displacement to the right end side in FIG. 5) is suppressed.

According to the configuration of this example, a dedicated mounting member is not required to hold the lever operating member as the operating member as in the prior art, so the number of parts is not increased and the cost is reduced. In addition, since an extra arrangement space for the mounting member is unnecessary, it is possible to contribute to downsizing of the device. Also, the assembly man-hour can be reduced.
Further, when the lever operating member 43 is assembled in the rear cover 15 at the close-up photographing position and the rear cover 15 is combined with the front case 13, the lever gripping portion 46 has the concave portion 46a disposed at the tip 41a of the switching lever 41. Since the tip end 41a of the switching lever 41 is not gripped by the lever gripping portion 46 and cannot be interlocked, the held portion 47 is not locked by the hook portion 23. When the outer surface side of the 15 flat plate portions 22 is directed upward, the lever operation member 43 falls off from the rear cover 15, and such a problem can be prevented in advance. Therefore, it can assemble quickly and reliably.

Further, the lock arm portion 48 is provided with a semi-cylindrical raised portion 48a at the tip, and the raised portion 48a and the protruding portion 24 are engaged with each other so that the lock arm portion 48 is not displaced unless a force greater than a predetermined value is applied. On the other hand (ie, so as not to deviate from a desired switching position), for example, the normal photographing position and the close-up photographing position are positioned and temporarily fixed, so that photographing can be performed in an accurate photographing mode.
In addition, when a force of a predetermined value or more is applied to move over the protruding portion 24, the operator is given an operational feeling (click feeling), and the completion of switching can be surely recognized.

8 and 9 are plan views for explaining the operation member mounting structure of the mobile phone according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The difference between this example and the first embodiment described above is that the lock arm part is eliminated, and the normal photographing position and the close-up photographing by the engagement of the protruding part formed on the hook part and the raised part formed on the locked part. It is the point comprised so that provisional fixation in a position and provision of an operation feeling (click feeling) might be performed.
Since the other configuration is substantially the same as the configuration of the first embodiment described above, the description thereof will be simplified.

  In the cellular phone of this example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a cutout for fitting a lever operation member 43A, which will be described in detail later, into a region on the upper end side of the side wall portion 52 of the rear cover 51 constituting the housing. A notch 53 is formed, and a hook portion 23A for slidably holding the lever operating member 43A is formed on the inner surface side of the flat plate portion 54 of the rear cover 51 (in the vicinity of the portion where the notch 53 is formed).

Then, it can be elastically rotated with the base portion as a fulcrum, and when the lever operation member 43A is assembled, it is bent to the inner side (side away from the notch portion 53).
The hook portion 23A is provided when the lever operation member 43A is disposed at the normal photographing switching position (the state in which the stagnation portion 59 is brought close to one end portion (the position shown in FIG. 8) of the outer notch 53a). The lever operation member 43A is in the locked state with respect to the held portion 62, and the lever operation member 43A is brought close to the close-up photographing switching position (the stagnation portion 59 is brought to the other end portion (the position shown in FIG. 9) of the outer notch 53a. ), The length (width) along the sliding direction and the arrangement position are set so that the held portion 62 is unlocked.
A semi-cylindrical protrusion 55 is formed on the tip side of the claw portion 57 of the hook portion 23A (the side opposite to the locking portion with respect to the lever operation member 43A) so as to protrude toward the notch 53. .

  The lever operating member 43A includes a flat, substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped rubbing portion 59 that is slid and displaced by fingers, a lever gripping portion 61 having a U-shaped recess 61a for loosely fitting the distal end portion 41a of the switching lever 41, A held portion 62 having an L-shaped cross section that is formed on one side portion of the lever gripping portion 61, is held by being locked by the hook portion 23A, and guides the displacement of the lever operating member 43A along the sliding direction; A squeeze portion 59 disposed on the outer surface side of the side wall portion 52 of the rear cover 51 and a connecting portion 64 that connects the lever gripping portion 61 and the like disposed on the inner surface side of the side wall portion 52 are provided.

The rubbing portion 59 includes a substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped base portion 59a and a projection portion 59b that is formed at the center of the base portion 59a and on which a finger can be hung.
The side end portion of the flat base portion 63 formed in parallel to the base portion 59a of the held portion 62 engages with the protruding portion 55 when incorporated in the rear cover 51, and the shape of the peripheral wall surface is cylindrical. A raised portion 63a made of a part of the peripheral wall surface is formed.
By engaging the protrusion 55 and the raised portion 63a, for example, the normal photographing position and the close-up photographing position are positioned and temporarily fixed so as not to be displaced unless a force greater than a predetermined value is applied. . Further, when a force of a predetermined value or more is applied to move over the protrusion 55, the operator is given an operational feeling (click feeling), and the switching completion is recognized.

In this example, the held portion 62 is locked by the hook portion 23A at the normal shooting position, and the locking is released at the close-up shooting position.
Further, at the normal photographing position, the protrusion 63a and the protrusion 55 are engaged to be temporarily fixed, and the shift to the close-up photographing position (displacement to the left end side in FIG. 8) is suppressed, and the close-up photographing position. Then, the engagement between the raised portion 63a and the protruding portion 55 results in a temporarily fixed state, and the shift to the normal photographing position (displacement to the right end side in FIG. 9) is suppressed.
The displacement between the normal shooting position and the close-up shooting position is such that the raised portion 63a gets over the protruding portion 55 while the peripheral wall surfaces of the protruding portion 63a and the protruding portion 55 are in contact with each other. The portion 23A is elastically deformed.

The lever operating member 43A is incorporated in the rear cover 51 at the normal photographing position (the state where the knurled portion 59 is moved to the right end side as shown in FIG. 8). At this time, the distal end portion 41a of the switching lever 41 is gripped by the lever gripping portion 61, the held portion 62 is locked by the hook portion 23A, and is temporarily fixed by the engagement between the raised portion 63a and the protruding portion 55. Therefore, the shift to the close-up shooting position is suppressed.
Since the held portion 62 is locked by the hook portion 23A, even when the lever operation member 43A is assembled into the rear cover 51, the lever operation member 43A can be disposed even if the outer surface side of the flat plate portion 54 of the rear cover 51 is directed upward. Will not fall off.
On the other hand, when the lever operating member 43A is incorporated in the rear cover 51 at the close-up photographing position (the state in which the stagnation portion 59 is moved to the left end side as shown in FIG. 9), the tip end portion of the switching lever 41 41a is removed from the lever gripping portion 61 and is not gripped, and the held portion 62 is not locked by the hook portion 23A. For this reason, when the outer surface side of the flat plate portion 54 of the rear cover 51 is directed upward, the lever operation member 43 </ b> A comes off the rear cover 51.

According to the configuration of this example, substantially the same effect as that of the first embodiment described above can be obtained.
