This car phone is usually installed on the lid of a console box located next to the driver's seat so that the driver, the passenger seat, or the rear seat passenger can easily make a call, and the phone is always exposed. It has become. [0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When a telephone is fixed directly on the console box cover plate as in the past, it is always visible not only from inside the car but also from outside the car, which poses a risk of theft and also causes the phone to protrude. It becomes a problem and spoils the beauty of the area around the console box. [0004]An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by making a car phone protrude outside the box only when in use and storing it in a console box or the like when not in use. [0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object. The gist is that an elevating platform is attached, a car telephone is installed on the elevating platform, the telephone is stored in a box when not in use, and it is made to protrude outside the box when in use. [0006] [Function] A lifting platform is stored in a required box such as a console box via a link-type lifting mechanism supported on a base, and the main body of a car telephone is fixed on this lifting platform. . Therefore, when the cover plate of the console box is opened, the telephone body housed within the box is lifted. Since the telephone main body is fixed to the lifting platform via a link-type lifting mechanism, the lifting platform rises together with the telephone, and the telephone protrudes outside the box until it reaches a fixed position. You can make phone calls in this state. [0007] Furthermore, in order to store the phone in the box after use, the link type lifting platform is lowered by closing the lid or pushing down the phone, and the phone is stored in the box. A screw rod is locked to the free end side of the link-type lifting mechanism of the lifting platform on which the telephone is attached, and when this rod is driven by a motor in either forward or reverse direction, the telephone is automatically extended or retracted. This makes it possible to neatly fit around console boxes, etc. [0008] [Example] The present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated example. FIG. 11 FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a console box or armrest (hereinafter referred to as a console box), and a lid 2 is provided on the console box 1 via a hinge so that it can be opened and closed. Reference numeral 3 denotes a base that fits snugly into the inner bottom surface of the console box 1, and is made of a desired material such as plywood 7, a synthetic resin plate, a metal plate, etc., and has a size and shape that fits inside the console box.
It shall be fixed to the inside bottom of the box by adhesion using double-sided adhesive tape or adhesive, or by screwing. Note that there is no need to force this base to be fixed if it fits tightly inside the console box. [0009] A mounting base 4 is fixed to the upper part of one end of this base 3 with screws or the like, or is formed integrally on both sides of the base 3, and a mounting base 4 is attached to the base 3 so as to cross over the base 3. One support shaft 5 disposed in the support shaft 5 is inserted and supported, and two links 6.6 of the same length are opposed to each other at both ends of the support shaft 5, and one end thereof is engaged. Also, connect another two links 7.7 to the link 6.
．． The two links 6 and 7 are disposed so as to intersect at the center in the shape of a car telephone, and the intersection of both links 6 and 7 is pivotally connected by a connecting shaft 8. Therefore, these two links 6 and 7 form a link-type lifting mechanism that is combined in the shape of a stand for a car telephone, and these are arranged as a pair on the left and right sides of the base 3. At this time, the support shaft 5 of each link type lifting mechanism installed oppositely on the left and right
．． The connecting shaft 8 is common. [0010] One end (lower side) of the link 6 is pivotally connected by a support shaft 5, and one end (lower side) of the other link 7 supports a roller 10 in a movable manner via a moving shaft 9. To ensure smooth expansion and contraction of a lifting mechanism. Further, a connecting shaft 11.12 is installed on the upper end side of the link 6.7 in order to connect the left and right link type lifting mechanisms, and one end of the lifting platform 13 is made swingable on the lower connecting shaft 11. The other end of the lifting table is supported by the other connecting shaft 12, and a stopper 14 protruding from the lower surface of the lifting table 3 can be selectively locked. Alternatively, the connecting shaft 12 is slidably supported by a locking portion 14K formed on the lower surface of the base 3 to prevent the lifting platform from floating [0
[011] Note that the main body 15 of the car telephone is firmly fixed at a predetermined position on the lifting platform 13 with screws, etc., and the handset 16 is detachably placed on this main body 15. The main body 15 and the handset 16 are connected by a cord 17. [0012] The lengths of the links 6 and 7 are such that when the link-type lifting mechanism is folded, the phone can be completely stored in the console box 1 and the lid can be closed, as shown by the chain line in FIG. When the base is lifted and the link type lifting mechanism is extended, the telephone is defined to protrude to a required height above the box for easy use. [0013] A lid 21 is provided on the console box 1 via a hinge so that it can be opened and closed freely, a guide post 22 is established on one end side of the base 3, and an automatic lifting mechanism is provided between the lid 21 and the guide post 22. Be prepared. This automatic elevating mechanism consists of a sliding body 23 that is slidably inserted into the guide column 22 and a rod 24 that has one end pivotally attached to the sliding body, and the tip of the rod 24 is fixed to the back surface of the lid 21. By adopting this mechanism, by simply opening and closing the lid 21, the rod 24 is pulled or pushed in following the opening/closing operation of the lid, and the sliding body 23, which is locked to the rod, moves up and down along the guide column 22. move. In addition, since this sliding body 23 is fixed and protruding from the lifting table 13, the vertical movement of the sliding body raises and lowers the lifting table, and the opening and closing operation of the lid automatically raises and lowers the lifting table, that is, the telephone. can. [0014] Also, as shown in FIG. 6, there is a support rod 32 at the bottom of the box 1 that supports the binion 30 driven by the motor M and protrudes from the bottom of the lifting platform 31 housed in the box.

It is also possible to replace this rack/binion with an electric cylinder to achieve the same effect. [0015] In the above embodiment, the telephone is taken out and put away manually, but this can also be done electrically. This is an example in which an electric motor and a screw rod are added to the first embodiment.A reversible electric motor 18 is provided on the base 3, and the proximal end of a screw rod 19 is connected to the main shaft of this electric motor 18. The rod 19 is rotatable,
The distal end side of the screw rod 19 is screwed into the threaded assembly 20 attached to the moving shaft 9. When the electric motor 18 is rotated in the normal direction by kneading, the link type lifting mechanism is extended and the lifting platform is raised. On the other hand, when the electric motor is reversed, the lifting platform is lowered, and the operation of raising and lowering the lifting platform, that is, the telephone, can be selectively controlled by a forward/reverse changeover switch for the motor. It is also possible to automatically operate the changeover switch in conjunction with the opening and closing of the lid of the console box to turn the electric motor on and off and to switch between forward and reverse directions. In this electrically retractable type, the ascending and descending positions of the platform can be determined in advance, and the electric circuit can be configured so that the electric motor is automatically turned off when the platform ascends or descends to a fixed position.
