Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize the sure holding and the supporting with free dismounting of a handset by arranging connecting means at positions where they are neighbored to and link with each other when the handset is placed on a supporting board and where they are separated and linkage is released when the handset is placed in a reverse direction, respectively. CONSTITUTION:When the handset 20 is loaded on the supporting board 30 by positioning a projecting pert 22 at a reception side at a rightward side, an engaging projecting part 31 is fitted in an engaging recessed part 24 as a connecting means, and also, an iron plate 25 as the connecting means and a permanent magnet 32 occupy a position where they confront with each other and neighbored. When the handset 20 is placed in the reverse direction, no engaging recessed part 24 fits in the engaging projecting part 31, and also, the iron plate 25 is separated from the permanent magnet 32, thereby, no magnetic linkage is performed. In such a way, it is possible to surely hold the handset 20 on the supporting board 30 corresponding to an activity mode, or to place the handset 20 on the supporting board 30 in such a way that it can be dismounted freely.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Objective of the Invention) (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to electronic equipment, and more particularly to a JI4 structure for holding a handset.

(Prior Art) FIG. 3 shows a laptop-type word processor as an example of electronic equipment.

This equipment [A] connects the keyboard section B to the display section CT:
It can be easily carried by covering it and pulling out the carrying handle D.

This device A also has a communication option unit C, which is equipped with a handset E and a support stand F for supporting the handset E, as an option for adding a communication function to the side of the keyboard section B. It is installed. This unit G is equipped with a holding member H for preventing the handset E from falling off the support base F when carrying the device A, and this holding member H is used to hold the device A on a desk.
It can be removed and the handset E can be used freely when it is used in a different manner.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above configuration, the presser member 1 must be attached or removed each time the device ff1A is carried or placed on a desk and its mode changes. The work had become complicated.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention makes it possible to reliably hold a handset on a support stand or to removably place a handset on a support stand in response to changes in usage without requiring any complicated work. The purpose is to provide electronic equipment.

(Structure of the Invention) (Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in the present invention, the handset and the support stand are close to each other and cooperate with each other when the handset is placed in the R position on the support stand, and are mutually connected when the handset is placed upside down. Locking means were provided at separate positions where the connection was broken.

(Function) By changing the orientation of the HW of the handset with respect to the support base, the handset can be reliably held or removably supported.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example in which the present invention is applied to a laptop-type word processor device equipped with an optional unit for computer use.

This word processor device 1 includes a keyboard section 2 having a group of input keys, and a display section 3 tiltably supported by the keyboard section 2. Furthermore, the keyboard section 2 has an operator side edge 2a. A carrying handle 4 is disposed so as to be freely retractable. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the device 1 becomes portable by opening the display section 3 and pulling out the carrying handle 4, so that the operator can easily carry the device 1 in his/her hand. I can do it. Further, the device 1 is put into use by storing the carrying handle 4, placing the keyboard section 2 on the desk, and opening and raising the display section 3.

A communication option unit 10 is provided on the housing side wall 2a of the keyboard section 2 in the g position 1. This unit 10 is composed of a handset 20 and a support stand 30 that supports the handset 20, and the support stand 30 is mounted so as to protrude from the side wall 2a of the housing.

The handset 20 is composed of a grip part 21, and a receiver-side protrusion 22 and a transmitter-side protrusion 23 provided at both ends thereof, and the receiver-side protrusion 22 has an engaging member as a locking means. A recess 24 is formed. Furthermore, an iron plate 25 which is a magnetic material is disposed on the gripping portion 21 as a first means for engaging.

An engagement convex portion 31 as an engagement means is provided on the right side of the support base 20 in FIG. is installed protrudingly. In addition, the support stand 30
A permanent magnet 32 serving as a 1V-stage is disposed on the top wall 30a.

Now, as shown in FIG. 1(a), when the handset 20 is mounted on the support base 30 with the receiver-side convex portion 22 positioned on the right side in the figure, the engaging convex portion is inserted into the engaging concave portion 24 as a locking means. 31
At the same time, the iron plate 25 serving as the locking means and the permanent magnet 32 are located in positions facing and close to each other. In this way, the engaging concave portion 24 and the engaging convex portion 31 are mechanically linked, and the iron plate 25 and the permanent magnet 32 are magnetically linked, so that the handset 20 is securely held on the support base 30, and in this state, Even if the device 1 is carried around, the handset 20 will not easily fall off.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1(b), the handset 20 is placed on the support stand 30 with the transmitting side convex portion 23 positioned to the right in the figure, that is, the handset 20 is placed in the state shown in FIG. 1(a). When placed upside down, the engaging concave portion 24 is located on the left side in the figure, and is separated from the engaging convex portion 31 located on the side of the support base 30 by a large distance, and cannot engage with each other. 25 is located in the upper area of the support base 30, and is separated from the permanent magnet 32 located on the left side of the support base top wall 30a, and is not magnetically linked with the permanent magnet 32. Therefore, in this state, the device 1 In this usage mode, the handset 20 can be placed on and removed from the support stand 30 freely without any hindrance.

In this example, the handset is provided with an engaging recess and a steel plate,
Although the engaging convex portion and the permanent magnet are provided on the support base, it goes without saying that this arrangement may be reversed, and the engaging means may be a combination of the four portions and the convex portion, or a combination of the magnet and the magnetic material. It goes without saying that configurations other than the combination of can also be adopted as appropriate. Furthermore, as long as the handset can be held securely on the support base, it is of course possible to sufficiently achieve the object of the present invention by providing only one pair of engagement means consisting of a combination of a magnet and a magnetic material, for example. It is.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the present defense is not limited to word processor devices, but can be effectively applied to various electronic devices equipped with handsets.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above in detail, according to the electronic device according to the present invention, the handset and the support stand are close to each other and interact with each other when the hand is placed on the support stand, while the handset is placed upside down. By disposing locking means at the positions where the handset is separated from each other and the connection is broken when the handset is pressed, and by changing the direction in which the handset is attached to the support base, the handset can be securely held or removably supported. Since the handset is adapted to be sipped, the handset can be reliably held on the support stand or can be removably placed on the support stand in response to changes in usage.
