Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a wall-hanging/desktop type electronic device equipped with a holding mechanism for holding an electronic device such as a small word processor or a personal computer.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, electronic devices such as calculators, word processors, and personal computers have become smaller due to the integration of semiconductor chips that constitute built-in microprocessors and memories.

For example, FIG. 5 is an external view of a conventional wall-mounted electronic device.

The wall-mounted electronic device in Fig. 5 is a thin electronic device body (1) with a built-in micro-proceeding device and a display section (2) on the front side.
) and a keyboard (3).

For example, a protrusion such as a wood screw is fixed to a vertical surface (4) such as a wall or a pillar shown in the figure, and a claw part (not shown) provided on the electronic device main body (1) is engaged with the wood screw. The main body is held in a removable manner.

Further, FIG. 6 is an external view of a conventional desk-top electronic device.

The tabletop electronic device shown in Figure 6 is a tabletop such as a desk or table (5
) is placed on top of the main body of the electronic device (1), which is a comfortable horizontal type with a sufficiently wide base area, and a microprocessor is built inside this main body. An input section (3) such as the following is provided.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As described above, the conventional wall-mounted electronic device shown in FIG. 5 has a thin main body for wall-mounting, so the bottom area is narrow. For this reason, for example, the table (5) shown in FIG.
If you try to use it upright, it will be unstable and will easily fall back and forth, causing damage or malfunction. As described above, there is a problem in that wall-mounted electronic devices are difficult to use on a tabletop.

In addition, the tabletop electronic device shown in Fig. 6 has a sufficient bottom area to improve stability on the table (5), and the display (5) is placed at the most convenient position when placed on the table. 2) and an input section (3) are provided. Therefore, there is a problem in that it takes up a large space on the table (5) during use.

Furthermore, although this desk-top electronic device can be mounted on a wall like the above-mentioned wall-mounted electronic device, it is possible to secure tabletop space, but because the bottom area is large, the main body protrudes from the wall and looks unsightly. There was also the problem of it getting in the way.

In this way, conventional wall-mounted electronic devices are designed exclusively for wall-mounting.
In addition, tabletop electronic devices could only be used on a tabletop.

This invention was made with the aim of solving the above problems, and it is possible to use electronic equipment by hanging it on a wall.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wall-hanging/desktop type electronic device that can be used stably even on a tabletop.

[Means to solve the problem]

A wall-hanging/desktop type electronic device according to the present invention includes a thin electronic device body that includes a microprocessor therein and has a display section and an input section on the front surface, and the electronic device body is detachably held on a wall. It has a wall hanging means, and a stand means that can be detachably attached to or stored in the electronic device main body for holding the electronic device main body upright against a tabletop surface, and the electronic device main body can be hung on the wall or in a stand state. Characterized by its use.

[Effect]

The wall-hanging/desktop-type electronic device of the present invention has a thin electronic device main body, has a display section and an input section on the front side, and has a wall-hanging means, so that it feels strange when hung on the wall. Can be used without.

Furthermore, since the wall-mounted/tabletop type electronic device can hold the thin electronic device upright against the tabletop using a stand, it can be operated while facing the front of the main body where the display section and input section are located. It has good operability and can be operated safely without the main body falling over.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a wall-mounted/desktop type electronic device to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIRST EMBODIMENT FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front perspective view when the stand shown in FIG. 1 is attached.

The wall-mounted/desktop type electronic device of this embodiment includes an electronic device main body,
It has wall hanging means and stand means.

The electronic device main body is an electronic device main body (1) shown in FIG.
It is equipped with a microprocessor that performs data processing and calculations, and a memory that stores the processed data and calculation results. As shown in Fig. 2, on the front of the main body of the electronic device (1), there is a display section (2) and an input section (3) for performing keyboard input.
are arranged, and the thickness of the main body is made thin.

The wall hanging means is used to hang and hold the electronic device main body (1) on a wall or the like, and here, it engages with a metal fitting (for example, a hook) fixed to the wall or the like in advance to hold the main body. This is a groove fitting (6) provided on the back of the main body in FIG.

The stand means includes a horizontal plate (7a) placed on a tabletop surface when the electronic device main body (1) is used on a tabletop;
It consists of a stand (7) consisting of a vertical plate (7b) extending upward from here, and a guide groove (8) formed on the electronic device main body (1) side that fits into the vertical plate (7b). There is.
