DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a telephone device in which the telephone stand moves when a call arrives, thereby visually informing the user of the arrival of a call.

[Conventional technology]

In general, a telephone set has a notification system in which when a call is received, a ring tone sounds or a lamp lights up at the same time as the ring tone.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the above call notification system, when many telephones are lined up in a room, it is often difficult to determine which telephone is calling.

This invention is said to make it possible to see at a glance which phone is calling among a large number of telephones. The purpose is to provide telephone equipment.

[Means for solving problems]

In this invention, a telephone 1 and a telephone stand 2 on which it is placed are provided.
In a telephone device consisting of
All or part of the system is designed to move automatically.

Here, the telephone 1 refers to both a separate telephone in which a handset 1a and a telephone main body 1b are separate, and an integrated telephone in which a handset 1a and a telephone main body 1b are integrated.

The term "telephone stand 2" is used to include not only a stand type on which the telephone 1 is simply placed, but also a storage type in which the telephone 1 is housed.

[゛effect]

In such a case, the whole or part of the telephone base 2 will move due to the incoming call, so if a large number of telephones 1 are lined up on each telephone base 2, or together with other desk-mounted telephones, etc. Even when the telephones are arranged side by side, it is possible to easily find the telephone 1 that received one call.

[Embodiment 1] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2. This embodiment exemplifies a telephone stand of a telephone storage type, and a part (lid) of the telephone stand is movable.

In the figure, 1 is a separate type telephone in which a handset 1a and a telephone main body 1b are separate, and 2 is a telephone stand of a telephone storage type.

A telephone storage type telephone stand 2 consists of a box-shaped stand body 3 in which a telephone 1 is housed, and a lid 4 that covers the telephone l on the one body 3.

The cover 4 of the telephone base 2 is completely closed as shown in FIG. 2 when the telephone 1 is not in use, and when the phone receives a ring tone or the lock release operation button 5 provided on the outer surface of the base body 3 is pressed. When is pressed, the lid 4 is automatically opened as shown in FIG. 1 by the lid opening driving device 6 as described later.

To explain the lid opening drive device 6, the lid 4 is pivotally attached to the base body 3 about a shaft 7 so as to be rotatable in opening and closing, and is provided with a hard-open biasing mechanism 8 and a hard-locking mechanism 9.

The lid lock mechanism 9 includes a lock lever 10 and a telephone main body 1b.
The solenoid 11 is connected to an electric circuit built in the lock release operation solenoid 11 and is activated by an incoming call signal or by pressing the lock release operation button 5. The lock lever 10 is pivotally attached to the stand main body 3 so as to be able to swing around a lever shaft 12, and has a pawl 13 at one end above the lever shaft 12, and this pawl 13 can be freely engaged with and detached from the recess 4a of the lid 4. The other end is pivotally connected to the movable rod 14 of the solenoid 11.

The lid opening biasing mechanism 8 has a spring 15 applied to the shaft 7 of the M4, and the force of the spring 15 constantly biases the M4 to rotate in the opening direction.

When 9 calls are received in the above configuration, the signal causes the I-id 11 to operate and retract the movable rod 14, which causes the lock lever 10 to swing around the lever shaft 12 and the claw 13 to move from the recess 4a of the lid 4. It comes off. Accordingly, the cover 4 is automatically opened by the spring 15, and the handset 1a can be taken out.

When transmitting, when the unlock operation button 5 is pressed, the solenoid 11 is activated, and the lid 4 is opened in the same manner as described above, allowing the handset 1a to be taken out.

After use, it is only necessary to close the lid 4 against the force of the spring 15, and by this closing, the claw 13 of the lock lever 10 is inserted into the M4 recess 4.
a to maintain the closed state.

According to the above configuration, the cover 4 of the telephone base 2 moves to open in response to an incoming call signal, so when a large number of telephones l are housed in each telephone base 2 in the same place, or when they are arranged together with other telephones, Even if the telephone 1 has received 9 calls, it can be easily selected by moving the cover 4. Also, if you receive a call while you are away, you can tell by opening M4.

Further, in this embodiment, since the entire telephone set 1 is housed in the telephone base 2, there is no possibility that it will collect dust when not in use, or that the handset 1a will be detached due to external force.

In this embodiment, a sound detector for detecting a ringing sound may be attached to the inner surface of 1M4 to operate the lid opening drive device 6.
