4).

In this embodiment, the input display section (1) and the leg section (34) are integrally formed. Separately formed input display section (1)
It is also possible to have a configuration in which the legs (34) are fixed.

The legs (34) have a rotating mechanism (5) relative to the device body (20).

6) are provided. A cover (37) is provided outside the opening (36) and is detachable from the housing (21). Inside the housing (21) is a storage medium (35).
A connector (38) is provided for the purpose.

In addition, on the front of the housing (21) are a communication terminal (40), a keyboard terminal (41), a remote control keyboard (full keyboard (FKB) (48)) and a numeric keyboard (TEN KEY) as shown in Figure 9. ) (consisting of 49>), a light receiving unit (42) for receiving wireless signals from a barcode reader terminal (43), and an IC card reader/writer (44) are provided on the side of the housing. A terminal (45), an external connection terminal (46), and a telephone line terminal (47) are provided.Furthermore, at the bottom right of the input display section 1), a wireless signal from the remote control keyboard is connected when the keyboard is mounted on a wall. A light receiving section (42') for receiving light is provided.

Here, the rotation mechanism (50) will be explained with reference to FIG. 10.

The legs (34) are connected to the leg body (60) and the locking parts (61) (6
2), the leg body (60) and the locking part (61H6
2) moves with one weight. The shaft <63) has a shaft body (64),
It consists of a head (65) and (66).

The head (65>) is fixed to the device body (20) via a spacer (67), and the shaft (63) is fixed to the device body (20).
It is impossible to move with respect to In addition, the head (66) has legs (
34), and the shaft body (64) is rotatably inserted into the locking portion (61).

A coil spring (68) with one end free and the other end fixed to the locking part (61>) is wound around the shaft body (64) and the head (66). A locking force is applied to the stop portion (61), that is, the leg portion (34), thereby preventing rotation of the leg portion (34).

With such a configuration, the legs (34)
does not rotate, but if a greater load (load in the same direction as the winding direction) is applied to the leg (34), the coil spring (68)
The diameter of the coil shrinks, and the shaft body inside the fill spring (68)
64) and the head (66) are firmly pressed together, thereby stopping the rotation of the legs (34) and locking them.

Therefore, the legs (34) are stopped at a constant angle with respect to the device body (20), and when the load in the same direction is further increased, the second load force is caused by the fill spring (68) moving towards the shaft body (64). ) and the head (66), and the leg (34) rotates in the direction of the load, overcoming the pressure and friction force applied to the head (66).

In addition, the rotation range β of the rotation mechanism (50) is set using the handset (
16) The upper surface is set between a substantially vertical direction and a substantially horizontal direction (see FIG. 4). This allows you to use the handset (
16) can be prevented from falling.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the handset (16) is hung on the protrusion (90) of a hook hook (91) integrally formed with the casing (2) of the input display section (1). There is. In order to improve the operability of the handset (16), that is, to increase the ease of attaching and detaching the handset (16), the convex portion (
90), but even if the convex part (90) is removed, setting the rotation range of the input display part (1) to β described above makes it easier to set the handset. (16) can be prevented from falling.

The holding force of the rotation mechanism as described above will be explained below assuming that it is destroyed by the operating force of F2 and requires a holding force that resists the operating force of Fl at the position B in FIG.

Now, enter the operating force of Fl at any position a11 on the display section (1).
22>, the moment at each position of A and B is MA-Fiffiz Ms=F+ 2+Gj! +, and for the same operating force, MA<Me.

From the above, the input display section (1) is at least FIN
A holding force K corresponding to the moment of 2 +Gl+ is required, and K>F
The relationship I92+Gj2+ is required.

In addition, this input display section (1) can be displayed at any position (12,)
It is destroyed by the operating force of F2 applied to . Therefore, at the position of A, the relationship K < F 2 is required.

i.e. FI f! The relationship 2+GI2+<K<F2123 is required. However, Ri2 is the fulcrum and the input display (
1> is the distance between the top end, and 13 is the distance between the fulcrum and the bottom end of the input display section (1).

Furthermore, when a multi-function terminal device is used on a desk, the position of the input display section (1) is generally as shown in FIG. 4, and considering the balance of the device, the rotation mechanism ( 5
The fulcrum point 0) needs to be located approximately at the center of the device body (20).

For example, if the fulcrum is located at position (a) in FIG.
Whenever an operator touches the input display section (1) or when a force in the direction of arrow C is applied due to some factor, the entire device moves in the direction of arrow d, and when the fulcrum is at position (b), , the arrow C appears in the input display section (1) for some reason.
If a force is applied in this direction, the entire device will move in the direction of arrow f, and in the worst case, there is a risk that the device will be damaged.

Therefore, the fulcrum is provided approximately at the center of the device body (20) so as to have a certain degree of tolerance against forces in either direction of arrows c and e.

Next, a case where the multi-function terminal device of this embodiment is used by hanging it on a wall will be explained.

When using the multi-function terminal device by hanging it on a wall, the position of the input display section (1) is as shown in FIG. In the wall-mounted state, it is desirable that the angle deviation of the input display section (1) shown in FIG. 3 is 0 degrees or more.

For example, if the angle is set to 0 degrees or less, the input display section (1
) faces the floor, and the operator must look at or touch the display input section (1) as if looking down from below. In order to make the angle be more than 0 degrees,
The top surface (touch panel) of the housing (2) of the input display section (1)
5) must be set below the fulcrum of the rotation mechanism (50) (on the back side of the device body (20)).

Therefore, in order to satisfy the above conditions, the input display section (1
) comes into contact with the top surface (
52) is located below the fulcrum.

By adopting the configuration described in L, the following effects can be obtained.

b) A space (51) is created by the presence of the legs (34), and the top or front surface of the device body (20) is not completely occupied by the input display section (1). In other words, the document insertion slot (23) and the recording paper output slot (22) are essential for a multi-functional terminal device.
) etc. can be provided on the top surface of the device main body (20) or the front surface of the device main body (20) corresponding to the space (51), thereby making it possible to plan for miniaturization of the device.

(i) The rotation mechanism (50) allows the LCD (7) to be easily viewed and input from the touch panel (5) no matter what posture the operator operates in or where the multi-function terminal device is installed. The angle of the input display section (1) can be changed to make it easier.

(i) The M [angle of the handset (16) can be set arbitrarily, and the rotation range of the input display section (1) can be adjusted until the upper surface of the handset (16) changes from approximately vertical to approximately horizontal. This setting prevents the handset (16) from falling when placed on a desk or the like.

(iv) Since the fulcrum is provided approximately at the center of the device main body (20), the tolerance of force until the multi-function terminal device moves can be made the same in both the arrow C direction and the arrow d direction.

(v) R that comes into contact when the input display section (1) falls down.
Since the top surface (52) of the llffi main body (20) is located below the fulcrum, it is necessary to adjust the angle of the manual display section (1) appropriately when using the multi-function terminal device by hanging it on a wall or the like. can do.

Next, the recording paper outlet (22) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 6(a) and 7(b) and FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b).

There is a switching attachment (22) for ejecting the recording paper.
VJ change means) (80) is provided. This V-shaped switching attachment (80) has a plurality of protrusions (83
)(83)... are provided. This protrusion (83)
(83)... is either the hole (84) (84)... formed in the part (81) of the housing (21), or the hole (85) (85) formed in the part (82). By bottoming out on one side, the switching attachment can be fixed to the device main body (20).

For example, when connected to the part (81) of the recording paper ejection port (22), the recording paper that has been completely ejected will be ejected in the direction of the arrow g (see Fig. 6(a) and Fig. 7(a)). , recording paper outlet (
22), the ejected recording paper can be ejected in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 7(b)
)), thus, the paper ejection direction can be switched between when the multifunctional terminal device of this embodiment is used by being placed on a desk and when it is used by being hung on a wall.

In other words, when using the recording paper on a desk, the operator can see the print side of the recording paper by ejecting it in the direction of arrow g, and when using it by hanging it on the wall. In this case, the recording paper can be prevented from folding by discharging the recording paper in the direction of the arrow.
