以下、図を参照して本発明を実施するための形態を詳細に説明する。
(実施形態1)
図1から図4は本発明を適用した電子機器の一実施形態の構成としてカメラを示すもので、本体1の背面に開閉部材として表示部である液晶モニタ2がスライド式ヒンジ機構3を介して備えられる。このスライド式ヒンジ機構3により液晶モニタ2は、図2及び図3に示すように、本体1上に垂直に起立したチルトアップ状態となって、撮影者が自分撮りすることができる。
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(Embodiment 1)
1 to 4 show a camera as a configuration of an embodiment of an electronic apparatus to which the present invention is applied. A liquid crystal monitor 2 as a display unit is provided on the back of a main body 1 as an opening / closing member via a sliding hinge mechanism 3. Provided. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the slide type hinge mechanism 3 allows the liquid crystal monitor 2 to be in a tilt-up state in which the liquid crystal monitor 2 stands vertically on the main body 1, and the photographer can take a picture.

スライド式ヒンジ機構3は、ヒンジプレート4にスライドプレート5をスライド自在に重ねて合体したスライド構造となっている。
ヒンジプレート4は、その一端に左右一対をなす板金製の回動軸による第1ヒンジ軸4aを備え、その第1ヒンジ軸4aが本体1の背面上部に回転自在に結合されている。
The slide type hinge mechanism 3 has a slide structure in which a slide plate 5 is slidably overlapped with a hinge plate 4 and combined.
The hinge plate 4 includes a first hinge shaft 4 a that is a pair of left and right sheet metal pivots at one end thereof, and the first hinge shaft 4 a is rotatably coupled to the upper back of the main body 1.

なお、図示例において、板金製の第1ヒンジ軸4aの一部が本体1背面側に出っ張っているのは、本体1の上面に逃げの切欠きを形成する必要をなくすためや、液晶モニタ2を上方へ垂直に立てるためなどである。また、板金製の第1ヒンジ軸4aの幅が広いのは、必要な強度を確保するためである。   In the illustrated example, a part of the first hinge shaft 4a made of sheet metal protrudes to the back side of the main body 1 in order to eliminate the need to form a relief notch on the upper surface of the main body 1 or the liquid crystal monitor 2 To stand vertically upward. Moreover, the reason why the width of the first hinge shaft 4a made of sheet metal is wide is to ensure the necessary strength.

そして、スライドプレート5は、図5及び図6に示すように、その他端に左右一対をなす板金製の回動軸による第2ヒンジ軸5aを備え、その第2ヒンジ軸5aが液晶モニタ2の背面一端に回転自在に結合されている。   As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the slide plate 5 includes a second hinge shaft 5 a with a pair of left and right sheet metal rotation shafts at the other end, and the second hinge shaft 5 a is the liquid crystal monitor 2. It is rotatably coupled to one end of the back surface.

このスライド式ヒンジ機構3により液晶モニタ2は、図1及び図4のように本体1の背面に収まった状態から、図2及び図3のように第1ヒンジ軸4aを中心に背面のスライドプレート5とともに概ね180°回動して本体1上に垂直に起立したチルトアップ状態や、図5のように本体1背面から画面が下向きに配置された状態や、図6のように本体1背面上方から画面が上向きに配置された状態となる。
このように、画面が所望の位置に向けて配置された状態が得られるため、通常撮影の他に、自分撮りやハイアングル・ローアングル撮影することが容易に行えるようになる。
With this slide type hinge mechanism 3, the liquid crystal monitor 2 is placed on the back surface of the main body 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, and the slide plate on the back surface around the first hinge shaft 4a as shown in FIGS. 5 is tilted up by approximately 180 ° and vertically upright on the main body 1, a state in which the screen is arranged downward from the back of the main body 1 as shown in FIG. 5, and an upper back of the main body 1 as shown in FIG. 6. The screen is placed upward.
In this way, since the screen is arranged in a desired position, it is possible to easily perform self-taking and high-angle / low-angle photography in addition to normal photography.

次に、図7は図4の要部の拡大透視図で、図8はその開閉検出スイッチ部分の横断平面図である。図中、6は開閉検出スイッチ、7は押し子、8は回転軸である。   7 is an enlarged perspective view of the main part of FIG. 4, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional plan view of the open / close detection switch portion. In the figure, 6 is an open / close detection switch, 7 is a pusher, and 8 is a rotating shaft.

すなわち、図4、図7及び図8に示すように、本体1背面の液晶モニタ2が当接する箇所で、平行する第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5a間の略中央位置に、開閉検出スイッチ6と、その開閉検出スイッチ6をON/OFF動作させる回転レバーによる押し子7が配置されている。   That is, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the opening / closing detection is performed at a substantially central position between the parallel first hinge shaft 4a and second hinge shaft 5a at the position where the liquid crystal monitor 2 on the back of the main body 1 contacts. A switch 6 and a pusher 7 using a rotary lever for turning the open / close detection switch 6 on and off are arranged.

開閉検出スイッチ6は、図9にも拡大して示すように、本体1背面に対する液晶モニタ2の第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5a回りの各々の開閉動作を単一の可動検出子6aでそれぞれ検出するものである。
この可動検出子6aは、図9に矢印で示したように、第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5aと直交する軸線回りに回動動作する。
As shown in FIG. 9 in an enlarged manner, the open / close detection switch 6 performs a single movable detector 6a for each open / close operation around the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 5a of the liquid crystal monitor 2 with respect to the back surface of the main body 1. Are detected respectively.
The movable detector 6a rotates about an axis orthogonal to the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 5a, as indicated by arrows in FIG.

押し子7は、図8に示すように、回転軸8と一体に回動するレバー状のもので、図示しないばねによって常に反時計周り方向に付勢されている。
この押し子7は、その一端部7aが液晶モニタ2の外装ケースと当接可能となっていて、他端部7bが開閉検出スイッチ6の可動検出子6aと当接可能となっている。
なお、回転軸8は、第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5aと直交配置されている。
As shown in FIG. 8, the pusher 7 is a lever-like member that rotates integrally with the rotary shaft 8, and is always urged counterclockwise by a spring (not shown).
One end 7 a of the pusher 7 can be brought into contact with the outer case of the liquid crystal monitor 2, and the other end 7 b can be brought into contact with the movable detector 6 a of the open / close detection switch 6.
The rotating shaft 8 is disposed orthogonally to the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 5a.

図8において、押し子7は、回転軸8を中心にばねによる反時計周り方向の付勢力が加わるが、押し子7の一端部7aが液晶モニタ2の外装ケースと当接するため、図示位置にて止まる。
このとき、押し子7の他端部7bは、開閉検出スイッチ6の可動検出子6aをON開始位置よりも深く(検出される側へ)押し込んでいるため、開閉検出信号はONとなる。
In FIG. 8, the pusher 7 is applied with a counterclockwise urging force by a spring around the rotation shaft 8, but one end portion 7 a of the pusher 7 comes into contact with the exterior case of the liquid crystal monitor 2. Stop.
At this time, since the other end portion 7b of the pusher 7 pushes the movable detector 6a of the open / close detection switch 6 deeper than the ON start position (to the detected side), the open / close detection signal is turned ON.

ここで、実施形態の仕様では、開閉検出信号ONのとき、カメラ電源OFFで、開閉検出信号OFFのとき、カメラ電源ONとしているため、本体1背面に液晶モニタ2が重なって閉じている初期状態では開閉検出信号ON(カメラ電源OFF)となっている。   Here, in the specification of the embodiment, when the open / close detection signal is ON, the camera power is OFF, and when the open / close detection signal is OFF, the camera power is ON, so that the liquid crystal monitor 2 is overlapped and closed on the back of the main body 1. Is an open / close detection signal ON (camera power supply OFF).

次に、図10は液晶モニタ2が本体1背面に対し上側の第1ヒンジ軸4aを中心に反時計周り方向に回動して下側を開いた状態を示している。この状態において、カメラ電源ONで液晶モニタ2に画像が映し出される。   Next, FIG. 10 shows a state in which the liquid crystal monitor 2 is rotated counterclockwise about the first hinge shaft 4a on the upper side with respect to the back surface of the main body 1 to open the lower side. In this state, an image is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 2 when the camera power is turned on.

また、図11は液晶モニタ2が本体1背面に対し下側の第2ヒンジ軸5aを中心に時計周り方向に回動して上側を開いた状態を示している。この状態においても、カメラ電源ONで液晶モニタ2に画像が映し出される。   FIG. 11 shows a state in which the liquid crystal monitor 2 is rotated clockwise around the second hinge shaft 5a on the lower side with respect to the back surface of the main body 1 to open the upper side. Even in this state, an image is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 2 when the camera power is turned on.

次に、図12は図10及び図11の状態での開閉検出スイッチ6及び押し子7を説明するための図である。   Next, FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the open / close detection switch 6 and the pusher 7 in the state of FIGS. 10 and 11.

前述した図8と同様、図12に示すように、押し子7は回転軸8を中心に反時計周り方向に常時バネ付勢力が加わるが、初期状態に対し液晶モニタ2の回動状態では、液晶モニタ2の外装ケースが押し子7の一端部7aの初期位置に対して、より遠くに逃げた位置となるため、押し子7の一端部7aは初期位置からさらに反時計回りに回転し、本体1の内部と当接する図示位置で止まる。
このとき、押し子7の他端部7bは、開閉検出スイッチ6の可動検出子6aのON開始位置より離れる側(検出されない側)の位置となる。
Similar to FIG. 8 described above, as shown in FIG. 12, the pusher 7 is constantly subjected to a spring biasing force in the counterclockwise direction around the rotation shaft 8, but in the rotation state of the liquid crystal monitor 2 with respect to the initial state, Since the outer case of the liquid crystal monitor 2 is located farther away from the initial position of the one end 7a of the pusher 7, the one end 7a of the pusher 7 further rotates counterclockwise from the initial position, It stops at the illustrated position where it contacts the inside of the main body 1.
At this time, the other end 7b of the pusher 7 is located on the side away from the ON start position of the movable detector 6a of the open / close detection switch 6 (the side not detected).

このように、液晶モニタ2の回動と連動しながら押し子7が回転する過程において、押し子7の他端部7bと接する開閉検出スイッチ6の可動検出子6aは、「検出される側」から「ON開始位置(検出開始のポイント)」を通過し、「検出されない側」へ移動していくことで、その過程にて開閉検出信号がONからOFFへ切り替わる。従って、カメラ電源はOFFからONに切り替わる。   In this manner, in the process in which the pusher 7 rotates while interlocking with the rotation of the liquid crystal monitor 2, the movable detector 6a of the open / close detection switch 6 in contact with the other end 7b of the pusher 7 is "detected side". Passes through the “ON start position (detection start point)” and moves to the “not detected side”, so that the open / close detection signal is switched from ON to OFF in the process. Accordingly, the camera power supply is switched from OFF to ON.

なお、以上の仕様の液晶モニタ2の開閉検出によるカメラ電源ON/OFF仕様以外にも、液晶モニタ2の開閉動作と連動して検出される全ての仕様に応用可能である。
また、開閉検出スイッチ6のON/OFFは逆であってもよい。
In addition to the camera power ON / OFF specification based on the opening / closing detection of the liquid crystal monitor 2 having the above specifications, the present invention can be applied to all specifications detected in conjunction with the opening / closing operation of the liquid crystal monitor 2.
Further, ON / OFF of the open / close detection switch 6 may be reversed.

以上の通り、本体1には、第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5aにて上部または下部が開閉動作する液晶モニタ2に対し、その上部または下部の開閉動作の何れとも連動できる位置に一箇所のみの開閉検出スイッチ6及び回転式の押し子7による動作機構を設けることで、液晶モニタ2の上部または下部の開閉動作を単一の開閉検出スイッチ6で検出するため、部品点数の削減、構造の簡素化、及びコストダウンすることができる。   As described above, the main body 1 is located at a position that can be interlocked with either the upper or lower opening / closing operation of the liquid crystal monitor 2 whose upper or lower opening / closing operation is performed on the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 5a. Since an opening / closing detection switch 6 and a rotary pusher 7 are provided to detect the opening / closing operation of the upper or lower part of the liquid crystal monitor 2 with a single opening / closing detection switch 6, the number of parts can be reduced. The structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

また、押し子7を省略して液晶モニタ2で開閉検出スイッチ6の可動検出子6aを直接押す構造(開閉検出スイッチ6の天地を逆にして液晶モニタ2寄りに配置する)であっても構わないが、押し子7を設けて、その一端部7a及び他端部7bの形状と長さを最適化することにより、開閉検出スイッチ6の可動検出子6aを直接押す使い方よりも検出/非検出ストロークが増え、誤動作しにくいといった利点も得られる。   Alternatively, the pusher 7 may be omitted, and the movable detector 6a of the open / close detection switch 6 may be directly pressed by the liquid crystal monitor 2 (the open / close detection switch 6 is reversed and arranged close to the liquid crystal monitor 2). However, by providing the pusher 7 and optimizing the shape and length of the one end portion 7a and the other end portion 7b, the detection / non-detection is detected rather than the method of directly pressing the movable detector 6a of the open / close detection switch 6. The advantage is that the stroke increases and malfunctions are less likely to occur.

以上、実施形態の液晶モニタ2の開閉検出装置によれば、平行配置した第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5a回りに各々開閉動作する液晶モニタ2の各々の開閉動作を、本体1の第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5a間の略中央位置に設けた単一の開閉検出スイッチ6によりそれぞれ検出できるため、部品点数の削減、構造の簡素化、及びコストダウンすることができる。   As described above, according to the open / close detection device for the liquid crystal monitor 2 of the embodiment, the open / close operation of the liquid crystal monitor 2 that opens and closes around the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 5a that are arranged in parallel can be Since each can be detected by a single opening / closing detection switch 6 provided at a substantially central position between the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 5a, the number of parts can be reduced, the structure can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced.

(実施形態2)
図13は実施形態2として本体1背面に液晶モニタ2を重ねた状態を示すもので、前述した実施形態1と同様、4aは第1ヒンジ軸、5aは第2ヒンジ軸である。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 13 shows a state in which the liquid crystal monitor 2 is overlapped on the back surface of the main body 1 as the second embodiment. As in the first embodiment, 4a is a first hinge shaft and 5a is a second hinge shaft.

この第2実施形態では、本体1の背面側に開閉検出スイッチ16(全体像は不図示)を設けて、液晶モニタ2の側面に凹部2aを設けている。   In the second embodiment, an open / close detection switch 16 (not shown) is provided on the back side of the main body 1, and a recess 2 a is provided on the side surface of the liquid crystal monitor 2.

すなわち、本体1背面側には、第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5a間の略中央位置に、図14にも拡大して示すように、開閉検出スイッチ16を配置する。
この開閉検出スイッチ16は、両ヒンジ軸4a・5aと平行する軸線方向に沿って可動検出子16aが前進後退動作するもので、可動検出子16aのみが図示されている。
That is, on the back side of the main body 1, an open / close detection switch 16 is arranged at a substantially central position between the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 5a as shown in an enlarged manner in FIG.
In the open / close detection switch 16, the movable detector 16a moves forward and backward along an axial direction parallel to the hinge shafts 4a and 5a, and only the movable detector 16a is illustrated.

そして、液晶モニタ2の側面には、第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸5a間の略中央位置に、図14にも拡大して示すように、すり鉢状の凹部2aを形成する。
このすり鉢状の凹部2aには、図15に示すように、第1ヒンジ軸4a回りに液晶モニタ2が開閉動作する過程で可動検出子16aが当接して前進後退動作するが、図16に示すように、第2ヒンジ軸5a回りに液晶モニタ2が開閉動作する過程では可動検出子16aが当接しないので前進後退動作しない。
Then, on the side surface of the liquid crystal monitor 2, a mortar-shaped recess 2a is formed at a substantially central position between the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 5a as shown in an enlarged manner in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 15, the movable detector 16a abuts on the mortar-shaped recess 2a in the process of opening and closing the liquid crystal monitor 2 around the first hinge shaft 4a. Thus, in the process in which the liquid crystal monitor 2 opens and closes around the second hinge shaft 5a, the movable detector 16a does not come into contact with each other, so that the forward / backward movement does not occur.

さらに、液晶モニタ2側面で本体1背面に重なる端縁であって、凹部2aと接近する位置に、可動検出子16aが当接して前進後退動作する傾斜面2bを形成する。   Further, an inclined surface 2b is formed on the side surface of the liquid crystal monitor 2 that overlaps the back surface of the main body 1 and moves forward and backward when the movable detector 16a comes into contact with the recess 2a.

次に、図15は液晶モニタ2の下部開放動作時を示すもので、図示のように、第1ヒンジ軸4a回りに液晶モニタ2の下部が開放動作する過程において、可動検出子16aが液晶モニタ2の側面に当接して押されたON状態からすり鉢状の凹部2aに沿って前進動作して一旦OFF状態となり、続いてすり鉢状の凹部2aに沿って後退動作して再びON状態となって続く傾斜面2bに沿って前進動作してOFF状態となる。   Next, FIG. 15 shows the time when the lower part of the liquid crystal monitor 2 is opened. As shown in the figure, in the process of opening the lower part of the liquid crystal monitor 2 around the first hinge shaft 4a, the movable detector 16a is moved to the liquid crystal monitor. 2 from the ON state pressed against the side surface of 2 and moving forward along the mortar-shaped recess 2a to temporarily turn OFF, and then retreating along the mortar-shaped recess 2a to turn ON again. It moves forward along the following inclined surface 2b and becomes OFF state.

このように、開閉検出スイッチ16の検出信号が、その可動検出子16aの前進後退動作に基づいてON→OFF→ON→OFFとなることで、液晶モニタ2の下部が開放動作したことを自動認識することができる。
なお、下部開放状態から液晶モニタ2を閉じる場合は、傾斜面2bにガイドされて後退動作して可動検出子16aは逆の動作順序となる。
In this way, the detection signal of the open / close detection switch 16 is automatically switched from ON → OFF → ON → OFF based on the forward / backward movement of the movable detector 16a, thereby automatically recognizing that the lower part of the liquid crystal monitor 2 has been opened. can do.
When the liquid crystal monitor 2 is closed from the lower open state, the movable detector 16a is reversely operated by being guided by the inclined surface 2b and moving backward.

また、図16は液晶モニタ2の上部開放動作時を示すもので、図示のように、第2ヒンジ軸5a回りに液晶モニタ2の上部が開放動作する過程において、可動検出子16aが液晶モニタ2の側面に当接して押されたON状態のままで、途中のすり鉢状の凹部2aには当接しないので、傾斜面2bに沿って前進動作してOFF状態となる。   FIG. 16 shows the upper opening operation of the liquid crystal monitor 2. As shown in the drawing, the movable detector 16a moves the liquid crystal monitor 2 in the process of opening the upper portion of the liquid crystal monitor 2 around the second hinge shaft 5a. Since it remains in the ON state pressed against the side surface of the mortar and does not contact the mortar-shaped recess 2a in the middle, it moves forward along the inclined surface 2b and becomes the OFF state.

このように、開閉検出スイッチ16の検出信号が、その可動検出子16aの前進後退動作に基づいてON→OFFとなることで、液晶モニタ2の上部が開放動作したことを自動認識することができる。
なお、上部開放状態から液晶モニタ2を閉じる場合も、傾斜面2bにガイドされて後退動作して可動検出子16aは逆の動作順序となる。
As described above, the detection signal of the open / close detection switch 16 is switched from ON to OFF based on the forward / backward movement of the movable detector 16a, so that it is possible to automatically recognize that the upper portion of the liquid crystal monitor 2 has been opened. .
Even when the liquid crystal monitor 2 is closed from the upper open state, the movable detector 16a is reversely operated by the backward movement guided by the inclined surface 2b.

以上のように、液晶モニタ2の下部開放動作と上部開放動作の違いを自動認識することで、例えば液晶モニタ2の下部を開放動作して画面を上向きとした場合、太陽や照明の影響があるので、画面の輝度を上げるなど輝度調整等の画像自動調整に役立てることができる。   As described above, by automatically recognizing the difference between the lower opening operation and the upper opening operation of the liquid crystal monitor 2, for example, when the lower portion of the liquid crystal monitor 2 is opened and the screen faces upward, there is an influence of the sun and illumination. Therefore, it can be used for automatic image adjustment such as brightness adjustment such as increasing the brightness of the screen.

なお、凹部に代えて凸部を設けてもよい。   In addition, you may provide a convex part instead of a recessed part.

(変形例1)
図17は変形例1として開閉検出スイッチの他の配置例を示すもので、前述した実施形態1と同様、1は本体、2は液晶モニタ、3はスライド式ヒンジ機構、4はヒンジプレート、4aは第1ヒンジ軸、5はスライドプレートである。
(Modification 1)

この変形例1では、本体1の背面に開閉検出スイッチ26(全体像は不図示)を設けている。   In the first modification, an open / close detection switch 26 (the whole image is not shown) is provided on the back surface of the main body 1.

すなわち、本体1の背面の略中央位置に開閉検出スイッチ26を配置する。
この開閉検出スイッチ26は、両ヒンジ軸4a・5aと直交する軸線方向に沿って可動検出子26aが前進後退動作するもので、本体1の背面に形成された穴1aから突出する可動検出子26aのみが図示されている。
そして、ヒンジプレート4及びスライドプレート5の略中央位置に穴4b・5bをそれぞれ形成する。
That is, the open / close detection switch 26 is disposed at a substantially central position on the back surface of the main body 1.
The open / close detection switch 26 has a movable detector 26a that moves forward and backward along an axial direction orthogonal to the hinge shafts 4a and 5a. The movable detector 26a protrudes from a hole 1a formed in the back surface of the main body 1. Only is shown.
Then, holes 4b and 5b are formed at substantially the center positions of the hinge plate 4 and the slide plate 5, respectively.

このように、本体1背面の略中央位置に開閉検出スイッチ26を設けても、その本体1背面の穴1aから突出する可動検出子26aが、液晶モニタ2の第1ヒンジ軸4aまたは第2ヒンジ軸5a周りの回動の際に、ヒンジプレート4及びスライドプレート5の略中央位置の穴4b・5bを通って、液晶モニタ2の背面との当接/離間に連動して前進後退動作することで、液晶モニタ2の開閉動作を検出することができる。   As described above, even if the open / close detection switch 26 is provided at the substantially central position on the back surface of the main body 1, the movable detector 26 a protruding from the hole 1 a on the back surface of the main body 1 is not connected to the first hinge shaft 4 a or the second hinge of the liquid crystal monitor 2. When rotating around the shaft 5a, the hinge plate 4 and the slide plate 5 are moved forward and backward through the holes 4b and 5b at substantially the center position in conjunction with the contact / separation with the back surface of the liquid crystal monitor 2. Thus, the opening / closing operation of the liquid crystal monitor 2 can be detected.

すなわち、スライドプレート5の一側部に沿って、第1ヒンジ軸4aと軸線が直交する第2ヒンジ軸35を介して液晶モニタ2を備えている。   That is, the liquid crystal monitor 2 is provided along one side portion of the slide plate 5 via the second hinge shaft 35 whose axis is orthogonal to the first hinge shaft 4a.

このように、実施形態1の第2ヒンジ軸5aに代えて、スライドプレート5の一側部に沿って液晶モニタ2を備えるために、第1ヒンジ軸4aと軸線が直交する第2ヒンジ軸35を設けた構成でもよい。
つまり、直交配置した第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸35回りに各々開閉動作する液晶モニタ2の各々の開閉動作を、実施形態1と同じ位置に配置した単一の開閉検出スイッチ6によりそれぞれ検出することができる。

この変形例3では、変形例2と同様、スライドプレート5の一側部に第2ヒンジ軸35を介して液晶モニタ2を回動自在に結合した構成において、本体1の背面に開閉検出スイッチ36(全体像は不図示)を設けている。   In the third modification, as in the second modification, an open / close detection switch 36 is provided on the rear surface of the main body 1 in a configuration in which the liquid crystal monitor 2 is rotatably coupled to one side portion of the slide plate 5 via the second hinge shaft 35. (The whole picture is not shown).

すなわち、変形例1と略同様に、本体1背面の略中央位置に開閉検出スイッチ36を配置する。
この開閉検出スイッチ36は、第1ヒンジ軸4aと直交して第2ヒンジ軸35と平行する軸線方向に沿って可動検出子36aが前進後退動作するもので、本体1背面の穴1aから突出する可動検出子36aのみが図示されている。
That is, in the same manner as in the first modification, the open / close detection switch 36 is disposed at a substantially central position on the back surface of the main body 1.

Only the movable detector 36a is shown.

そして、ヒンジプレート4及びスライドプレート5の略中央位置に穴4b・5bをそれぞれ形成する。   Then, holes 4b and 5b are formed at substantially the center positions of the hinge plate 4 and the slide plate 5, respectively.

このように、直交配置した第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸35回りに各々開閉動作する液晶モニタ2の各々の開閉動作をそれぞれ検出することができる。
つまり、本体1背面の略中央位置に設けた単一の開閉検出スイッチ36の可動検出子36aが、ヒンジプレート4及びスライドプレート5の略中央位置の穴4b・5bを通って、直交配置の第1ヒンジ軸4a及び第2ヒンジ軸35回りに各々開閉動作する液晶モニタ2の背面と当接して前進後退動作することで、液晶モニタ2の各々の開閉動作をそれぞれ検出することができる。
In this way, it is possible to detect each opening / closing operation of the liquid crystal monitor 2 that opens and closes around the first hinge shaft 4a and the second hinge shaft 35 arranged orthogonally.
That is, the movable detector 36a of the single open / close detection switch 36 provided at the substantially central position on the back surface of the main body 1 passes through the holes 4b and 5b at the substantially central positions of the hinge plate 4 and the slide plate 5 and is orthogonally arranged.
