Description

本発明は、携帯型電子機器に着脱自在な装飾パネルを装着するための構想に関し、特に、装着される携帯型電子機器の外観上の美観を向上させる装飾パネル固定構造及びこの構造を備えた携帯型電子機器に関する。   The present invention relates to a concept for mounting a detachable decorative panel on a portable electronic device, and in particular, a decorative panel fixing structure that improves the appearance of the mounted portable electronic device and a portable device equipped with the structure. Type electronic equipment.

近年、代表的な携帯型電子機器である携帯電話端末においては、特定の機種にユーザの人気が集中し、その機種を使用するユーザが多数存在することとになり、没個性的になってしまうという問題が生じている。   In recent years, in mobile phone terminals, which are typical portable electronic devices, the popularity of users has been concentrated on a specific model, and there are many users who use that model, which makes it desperate. The problem has arisen.

携帯電話端末メーカとしては、１機種につき数種類のカラーバリエーションをラインナップしているものの、展開できる色数には限界があるため、他のユーザの端末との差別化を図りたいというユーザの希望に完全に応えることはできていない。   As a mobile phone manufacturer, although there are several types of color variations per model, there are limits to the number of colors that can be deployed, so it is perfectly suited to the user's desire to differentiate from other users' terminals. It is not possible to meet.

また、１機種に複数色のカラーバリエーションを展開したとしても、各色の人気が均等になるとは限らない。特定の端末色に人気が集中する場合には、カラーバリエーションを増やしたとしても、人気色の端末のユーザにとっては他のユーザの端末との差別化の実感は薄くなる。   Also, even if multiple color variations are developed for one model, the popularity of each color is not necessarily equal. When popularity is concentrated on a specific terminal color, even if the color variation is increased, the user of the terminal with the popular color is less differentiated from the terminals of other users.

このため、通信や通話といった携帯電話端末としての本来の機能とは無関係に、装飾用のパネルを着脱可能とした携帯電話端末が登場している。
装飾用のパネルは、端末のカラーバリエーションと比較して遙かに多くの種類を展開できるため、他のユーザの端末との差別化というユーザのニーズに応えることが可能となる。 For this reason, mobile phone terminals in which a decorative panel is detachable have appeared regardless of the original functions of the mobile phone terminal such as communication and telephone calls.
Since there are far more types of decorative panels than terminal color variations, it is possible to meet the user's needs for differentiation from other users' terminals.

このような装飾用のパネルを着脱自在な携帯電話端末に関する従来技術としては、特許文献１に開示される「携帯型電子機器のカバー部材取付構造、カバー部材、携帯型電子機器及びカバー部材装着方法」や、特許文献２に開示される「携帯端末装置」がある。
特開２００６−２１７１８９号公報 特開２００４−８０３９１号公報 As a related art related to a mobile phone terminal in which such a decorative panel can be freely attached and detached, “a cover member mounting structure of a portable electronic device, a cover member, a portable electronic device, and a cover member mounting method” disclosed in Patent Document 1 And “portable terminal device” disclosed in Patent Document 2.

特許文献１のような従来の装飾パネルを着脱自在な携帯電話端末では、図４（ａ）に示すように、装飾パネルは端末の先端や側面に回り込むように装着される。このため、端末を落下させてしまった場合などには、図４（ｂ）に示すように装飾パネルの周縁部に衝撃が直接作用し、パネルが破損する可能性があった。すなわち、装着時に装飾パネルの周縁部が露出しているため、周縁部に衝撃力などが作用して装飾パネルが破損する可能性があった。
また、装飾パネルを端末筐体の凹部にはめ込む構成においては、特許文献２のように、装飾パネルの一部を張り出した筐体の下に潜り込ませるようにしたとしても、スライド部材のスライド方向と直交する方向に関しては、図４（ｃ）のように装飾パネルの周縁部が露出することとなる。よって上記同様に端末を落下させてしまった場合などには、図４（ｄ）に示すように装飾パネルの周縁部に衝撃が直接作用し、パネルが破損する可能性があった。 In a mobile phone terminal to which a conventional decorative panel such as Patent Document 1 is detachably attached, as shown in FIG. 4A, the decorative panel is mounted so as to wrap around the tip or side of the terminal. For this reason, when the terminal is dropped, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the impact may directly act on the peripheral edge of the decorative panel, and the panel may be damaged. That is, since the peripheral edge of the decorative panel is exposed at the time of mounting, there is a possibility that the decorative panel may be damaged due to an impact force or the like acting on the peripheral edge.
Further, in the configuration in which the decoration panel is fitted in the recess of the terminal housing, even if the decoration panel is partly under the overhanging housing as in Patent Document 2, the sliding direction of the slide member Regarding the orthogonal direction, the peripheral edge of the decorative panel is exposed as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the terminal is dropped in the same manner as described above, as shown in FIG. 4D, the impact may directly act on the peripheral edge of the decorative panel, and the panel may be damaged.

また、図５に示すように、装飾パネルの周縁部は工法上塗装や印刷をできない部分であるが、従来の携帯電話端末ではパネルの周縁部が露出した状態で装着されるため、美観を損なう原因となっていた。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the peripheral portion of the decorative panel is a portion that cannot be painted or printed due to the construction method. However, since the peripheral portion of the panel is mounted in a conventional mobile phone terminal, the appearance is impaired. It was the cause.

本発明はかかる問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、装飾パネルの破損を防止するとともに、パネル周縁部の未装飾部を隠蔽できる装飾パネル固定構造及び携帯型電子機器を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a decorative panel fixing structure and a portable electronic device that can prevent the decorative panel from being damaged and can conceal the undecorated portion of the peripheral portion of the panel. .

本発明の好適な実施の形態について説明する。
図１に、本実施形態にかかる装飾パネルの構成を示す。また、図２に、本実施形態にかかる携帯電話端末の構成を示す。装飾パネル１は、３方向（装着時に携帯電話端末２の横方向及び端末端部側となる方向）の周縁部が湾曲した略平皿状である。また、携帯電話端末２は、装飾パネル１と対応する形状となっており、装着箇所の周縁にリブ３が形成されている。携帯電話端末２には、装着された装飾パネル１を固定するためのストッパ４が設けられている。ストッパ４は公知構造を適用可能であるため、説明は省略する。 A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a decorative panel according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the mobile phone terminal according to the present embodiment. The decorative panel 1 has a substantially flat plate shape with curved peripheral edges in three directions (the direction of the mobile phone terminal 2 in the lateral direction and the terminal end side when attached). Further, the mobile phone terminal 2 has a shape corresponding to the decorative panel 1, and ribs 3 are formed on the periphery of the mounting location. The mobile phone terminal 2 is provided with a stopper 4 for fixing the mounted decorative panel 1. Since the stopper 4 can be applied with a known structure, the description thereof is omitted.

図３に、装飾パネル１を携帯電話端末２に装着した状態を示す。（ａ）は平面図、（ｂ）はＡ−Ａ’断面図、（ｃ）はＢ部の拡大図である。図示するように、装飾パネル１を携帯電話端末２に装着すると、装飾パネル１の周縁部はリブ３によって隠蔽される。   FIG. 3 shows a state in which the decorative panel 1 is mounted on the mobile phone terminal 2. (A) is a top view, (b) is an A-A 'cross-sectional view, and (c) is an enlarged view of a portion B. As shown in the figure, when the decorative panel 1 is attached to the mobile phone terminal 2, the peripheral edge of the decorative panel 1 is concealed by the rib 3.

このため、装飾パネル１の周縁に塗装や印刷がされていない部分があったとしても、その部分はリブ３によって形成される溝部５に嵌って隠蔽される。よって、装飾パネル１を携帯電話端末２に装着した状態では、装飾パネル１の未塗装・未印刷部分を目視できなくなり、携帯電話端末２の美観が向上する。   For this reason, even if there is a portion that is not painted or printed on the periphery of the decorative panel 1, the portion is hidden by being fitted into the groove portion 5 formed by the rib 3. Therefore, in a state where the decorative panel 1 is mounted on the mobile phone terminal 2, the unpainted / unprinted portion of the decorative panel 1 cannot be seen, and the appearance of the mobile phone terminal 2 is improved.

また、装飾パネル１は、略平皿状であり、携帯電話端末２の側面にまで回り込んでいない。さらに、装飾パネル１の周縁部はリブ３によって隠蔽されている。よって、携帯電話端末２を落下させたとしても、その衝撃力が装飾パネル１の周縁部に作用することはない。
これにより、装飾パネル１の破損が防止される。 The decorative panel 1 has a substantially flat plate shape and does not go around to the side surface of the mobile phone terminal 2. Further, the peripheral edge of the decorative panel 1 is concealed by the rib 3. Therefore, even if the mobile phone terminal 2 is dropped, the impact force does not act on the peripheral edge of the decorative panel 1.
Thereby, damage to the decorative panel 1 is prevented.

リブ３は、大きい方が装飾パネル１を外力から保護する効果が高くなるため、携帯電話端末２のデザイン性を損なわない範囲でおおきくすることが好ましい。   The larger the rib 3, the higher the effect of protecting the decorative panel 1 from external force. Therefore, it is preferable that the rib 3 be large as long as the design of the mobile phone terminal 2 is not impaired.

なお、上記実施形態は本発明の好適な実施の一例であり、本発明はこれに限定されることはない。
例えば、上記実施形態においては、折り畳み型の携帯電話端末を例として説明したが、スライド型やストレート型などの他の型であってもよい。
また、装飾パネルやリブの形状、大きさは図示したものに限定されないことはいうまでもない。
さらに、携帯電話端末に限らずあらゆる携帯型電子機器に適用可能であることは言うまでもない。
このように、本発明は様々な変形が可能である。 In addition, the said embodiment is an example of suitable implementation of this invention, and this invention is not limited to this.
For example, in the above embodiment, the folding type mobile phone terminal has been described as an example, but other types such as a slide type and a straight type may be used.
Needless to say, the shape and size of the decorative panel and ribs are not limited to those illustrated.
Furthermore, it goes without saying that the present invention is applicable not only to mobile phone terminals but also to all portable electronic devices.
As described above, the present invention can be variously modified.
