Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a support mechanism integrally with a main body case by forming a projection engaging with a recessed part of the handset to have a gap with the main body and forming a rib coupled through a thin part to a rear side of the projection. CONSTITUTION:The part of the telephone set being the upper part when the telephone set main body 1 is used as a wall mount is formed to be a recessed part 4 with a receiver mounted thereon normally, and a projection 11 with a proper length for locking the handset 3 for the wall mount use and a rib 13 via a thin part 12 at the rear side of the projection 11 directed at a right angle to the rib 13 are formed integrally with the telephone set main body 1. When the telephone set is used as a desk top type, the rib 13 is kept as the shipped state. When the telephone set is used as the wall mount type, the rib 13 is folded around the thin part 12 by using a jig such as a pair of radio pliers or a nipper to be removed from the projection 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a handset holding mechanism for making a handset and receiving device, such as a telephone, in which the handset is mounted on a telephone main body, both for use on a tabletop and for hanging on a wall. Regarding.

Prior Art As shown in Fig. 5, main unit A and handset B are connected to code C.
Transmitting/receiving devices such as telephones connected by
In consideration of the user's convenience, there is a wall-mounted type (0) in which the main unit A is mounted on the wall and the handset is set and held in the main unit A in an almost vertical position, and the other is a wall-mounted type (0) in which the main unit A is placed on a tabletop. Some phones allow you to select either a tabletop type (C) in which the handset B is set in a nearly horizontal position.

By the way, when using the handset B as a wall-mounted type as shown in FIG. A
is provided with a protruding piece G, but if the projecting length of the protruding piece G is increased in order to ensure secure locking, the handset B will come into contact with the protruding piece G when used as a tabletop type. There is a problem that this causes inconvenience in use.

In order to solve this problem, the convex piece G is constructed as a separate member I from the phone main body, while the main body A is provided with a claw member F that is fixed to this member H. A device in which the length of the convex piece G can be selected has also been proposed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, since the protruding piece is constructed as a separate part from the telephone main body A, there are problems in that it may be lost and the cost may increase.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a novel handset/receiver holding mechanism that can be formed integrally with the main body of the handset/receiver.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve such problems, the present invention provides a transmitting and receiving device that can be used both as a wall-mounted type and a tabletop type, with a convex piece that engages with a recessed portion of the handset on the main body side. It is formed so as to have a space between it and the main body, and a rib part is formed on the back surface of the convex piece to be connected only through a thin part.

When used as a tabletop type, leaving the ribs in the state they were in when manufactured prevents them from engaging with the recesses of the handset, and retracting the ribs allows the body case to fit into the recesses of the handset. The convex piece enters and engages securely.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a telephone main body. On the surface of the casing, which is the upper part when placed on a tabletop, there is a telephone number input terminal. It is constructed with a recess 4.5 for receiving the key switch 2 and the handset 3, and is connected to the handset 3 by a cord 6.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a handset/receiver locking member, which is a feature of the present invention, and is formed on the upper side when the telephone main body 1 is used as a wall-hanger, at the four parts 4 that normally receive the handset.
When the wall-mounted type is used as shown in FIG. 2, the projecting piece 11 has a length suitable for locking the handset 3, and the rib part 13 is connected at right angles to the back surface of the projecting piece 11 through only the thin wall part 12. and are integrally constructed in the telephone main body 1. Note that the symbols in the figure]
4.14 indicates a guide piece.

In this example, when used as a tabletop type,
The rib portion 13 is left in the same state as when manufactured. As a result, when the handset 3 is set on the telephone main body ■, the rib portion 13 comes into contact with the tip of the handset 3a as shown in FIG. ] is prevented from engaging with the protruding piece portion 11. Thereby, the connection and disconnection between the transmitting/receiving poem 3 and the telephone main body 1 can be smoothly performed.

On the other hand, when using the same telephone 1 as a wall-mounted phone,
When the rib portion 13 is pinched and bent around the thin wall portion 12 using a tool such as radio pliers or nippers, the rib portion 13 is broken and removed from the convex piece portion 11. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the recess 9 of the handset 3 can be fitted into the convex part 11 of the telephone main body 1, so that the handset 3 can be attached to the main body 1 even when wall-mounted. It will definitely be locked.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which reference numeral 20 denotes a rib portion that is integrally connected to the back surface of the convex piece portion 21 via an extremely thin film-like connecting portion 22. At the same time as being coupled, the tip thereof, that is, the end 20 on the opposite side to the coupling part 22
a is selected to have a size that makes elastic contact with the inner surface of the guide piece 23.

According to this embodiment, when used as a tabletop type,
If the rib portion 20 is released from the guide rib, the rib portion 20 will sag downward due to its own weight (FIG. 1A). This will prevent engagement.

In addition, when the rib portion 20 is folded around the joint portion 22 and brought into elastic contact with the guide piece 23 and locked in parallel with the convex portion 21 (see Figure 1), the restriction by the rib portion 20 is released. As a result, reliable holding becomes possible.

According to this embodiment, the user can also select the length of the rib portion that suits the usage pattern at any time.

Although this embodiment has been explained using a telephone as an example, it is clear that the same effect can be achieved even when applied to a telephone type intercom.

Further, although this embodiment has been described using an example in which the transmitter/receiver is connected to the main body by a cord, it is obvious that the present invention can also be applied to a device that transmits and receives signals using electromagnetic waves or the like.

As described in the detailed description of the invention, in the present invention, a snowflake that engages with a recess of the handset is provided on the main body side of a transmitting/receiving device that can be used for both a wall-mounted type and a tabletop type, and a space is provided between the snowflake and the main body. In addition, since a rib portion is formed on the back surface of the snowflake to be connected only through a thin wall portion, the holding mechanism can be formed integrally with the main body case, and manufacturing costs can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to reliably prevent parts loss accidents.
