Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a case having an operation surface or a display surface for a telephone or the like.

In recent years, due to housing circumstances, it has become common for telephones to be used not only on desks, but also wall-mounted.
A telephone that can be used both on a desk and on a wall is desired. In this case, when using the phone on a desk, considering operability, etc., it is recommended that at least a part of the operation surface (frequently used parts such as dials) be tilted at an angle of 10° to 30° with respect to the bottom of the phone case. Therefore, when it is wall-mounted, it is desirable that the operating surface be approximately parallel to the bottom surface (wall) of the case. Therefore, in the past, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the case a was tilted at an angle of 10° to 30°, and when used on a tabletop, the operating part b was given an appropriate angle. When in use, a wall hanging fitting c having an inclination corresponding to the inclination of the case a was used. However, since it is necessary to use such special metal fittings when hanging on a wall, it is not only uneconomical, but also the distance X from the wall to the operation surface Y becomes larger by the amount of the metal fittings, although the operation part becomes parallel to the wall. Therefore, it required extra space in front of the wall and had the disadvantage that it did not look good.

The present invention was devised in view of the above drawbacks. For example, it is possible to change the angle of a part of the panel that has the operation part, so that it can be used both on a tabletop and when mounted on a wall. This is the purpose.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the telephone case of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. First, FIG. 3 shows the telephone when it is used on a desk, where 1 is an upper case, 2 is a lower case, 3 is a handset, and 4 is an operating panel at an appropriate angle. FIG. 4 shows the device when it is mounted on a wall, and in particular, the angle of the operating panel 4 has been adjusted so that it is parallel to the wall surface by means detailed in FIGS. 5 and 6. Next, to explain in more detail with reference to the drawings from FIG. An operating panel 4 is pivoted at the end of the section. 6 is a concave bearing provided at the end of the upper case 1, into which the pivot 5 is inserted. Reference numeral 7 denotes a stop boss, and the shaft plate 8 is screwed with a screw 9 so that the operating panel 4 can pivot. Reference numeral 10 denotes a leg section provided on the inclined lower part of the operating panel 4, and has a key section 11 at the end thereof. 12 is leg 1
A slide member 14, which is a guide portion provided at a position near 0 and has a lock portion 13 that engages with a lock portion 11, can slide in the left-right direction in the drawing. Reference numeral 15 denotes a long hole provided in the lower case, which regulates the amount by which the slide member 14 slides. 1
A fixing screw 6 is screwed into the slide member 14 through the elongated hole 15 to fix the slide member in a predetermined position. FIG. 6 is also similar to FIG. 5, and shows the state of the operating panel 4 when it is mounted on a wall, with the legs 12 placed on the head of the slide member 14 and the key portion 11 attached to the upper case 1. It is fixed to the end of the opening to eliminate the slope.

Next, to explain the angle adjustment when using the telephone in the state shown in Fig. 5 in a wall-mounted state, first loosen the fixing screw 16, move the slide member 14 to the left in the drawing, and then connect the lock part 11 with the lock part 11. Disengage the lock part 13, lift the operation panel 4 until the lock part 11 is locked to the upper case 1, return the slide member 14 to its original position, and
is placed on the head of the slide member 14, the tilt of the operating panel 4 is eliminated, and the slide member 14 is fixed with fixing screws 16.

The case is then fixed to a predetermined position on the wall by an appropriate method, but this point is not the main focus of the present invention and will therefore be omitted.

In addition, when using the telephone in the state shown in FIG. 6 on a tabletop, loosen the fixing screw 16, engage the lock part 11 and key part 13 as shown in FIG. 5, and then tighten the fixing screw 16 again. If fixed, the operation panel 4 can be tilted.

In this embodiment, the operating section that generally requires angle adjustment has been described, but if it is desired to adjust the angle of the display section as well, this can be achieved by incorporating the display section into the operating section panel.

As described above, according to the present invention, the inclination of the panel having the operation section can be adjusted and fixed to an optimal state depending on when the panel is used on a table or when used on a wall, which is extremely advantageous in practice. According to the present invention, a slide member provided on the bottom of the case is used to adjust and fix the inclination of the panel, and when the panel is closed, it is engaged by the key part, and when the panel is opened, it is engaged by the legs. The legs are fixed by contact between the leg and the slide member, and in both cases, the direction of the force applied from the panel side to the slide member is perpendicular to each other, and the panel The slide member slides by the force applied to the leg from the side, and has the advantage that it is always firmly fixed in a stable state without disengaging or coming out of contact. In addition, according to the present invention, the sliding member is provided inside the bottom surface, and the fixing screw for fixing it is provided so as to protrude from the bottom surface, which has the advantage that there is no need to open the case each time when sliding the sliding member. has.
