Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a small portable radio device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional small portable radio devices are configured so that an ID code can be written in a built-in ROM at the time of shipment or use. As shown in FIG. 5, a write terminal 52 is arranged at the bottom of the casing 51 and covered by a battery cover 53, or as shown in FIG. A configuration is known in which a hole 63 is formed at a position adjacent to the hole 63, and a write terminal (not shown) is disposed inside the hole 63. Furthermore, a configuration is known in which a clip (not shown) is attached to the back of the housing, and this clip is attached to a belt or pocket to prevent the wireless device from falling off or being lost when carried.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, although the write terminal is an important part that requires protection, in the conventional configuration shown in FIG. This is not preferable because the terminal 52 is exposed to the outside and can be easily touched. Furthermore, in the conventional structure shown in FIG. 6, the write terminal is always exposed in the hole 63, which is undesirable because it may be affected by the external environment. On the other hand, to carry a portable radio, you must not only attach it to your belt or pocket using a clip, but also, especially when carrying a portable radio directly in your handbag or pocket without using a clip, as in the case of women. However, if the clip is fixedly attached to the housing, the clip is unnecessary and becomes an obstacle to carrying. Furthermore, in order to satisfy both of the above requirements, it is sufficient to prepare both a casing provided with a clip and a casing not provided with a clip, but this poses problems such as increased cost.

The present invention solves these conventional problems, and can protect write terminals from contact and the external environment, prevent unnecessary writing, and can be implemented in a single type of housing. It can be carried by attaching it to a belt, pocket, etc. using the clip 11, and when carried directly in a handbag, pocket, etc., the clip can be removed from the casing so that it does not get in the way. The present invention provides a portable radio device that can reduce the cost and prevent the clip from being removed inadvertently. Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable radio device in which a clip or the like can be reliably attached to the housing in a locked state.

Means for Solving the Problems The technical solution of the present invention for achieving the above object is as follows:
First, the mounting formed on the casing is a groove, the clip and replacement panel are selectively attached to the groove, and the above-mentioned mounting is provided on both sides of the groove, the clip, and the replacement panel. an engaging means that is releasably engaged with the casing, and is provided on the casing, the clip, and the replacement panel;
The locking engagement means is releasably engaged by engagement of the engagement means, and the mounting includes a memory write terminal disposed at the bottom of the groove.

Secondly, in the first technical solution, the clip and the replacement panel are provided with an unlocking protrusion on the inner surface for releasing the locking engagement means.

Thirdly, in the first or second technical solution, the clip or replacement panel selectively attached to the utility groove is rotatably and lockably attached to the housing. The battery cover is configured to be locked with a closed battery cover.

Therefore, according to the present invention, by engaging the clip with the housing by the engagement means and attaching it to the groove, the locking engagement means can be engaged and the clip can be held in the locked state. As a result, it is possible to carry it by attaching it to a belt, pocket, etc. using the above-mentioned clip.On the other hand, it is possible to attach the replacement panel to the housing by the engagement means and attach it to the utility groove instead of the above-mentioned clip. This allows the locking engagement means to be engaged and held in the locked state, thereby allowing the user to remove the obstructing lip and carry it directly in a handbag, pocket, etc. In addition, since the writing terminal is placed at the bottom of the utility groove when the clip or replacement panel is attached, the writing terminal can be hidden by attaching the clip or replacement panel to the utility groove in a locked state as described above. I can do two things.

Furthermore, when removing the clip or the replacement panel from the housing, a special unlocking tool can be engaged with the inner surface of the clip or replacement panel to disengage the locking engagement means and unlock the door.

Further, the clip or replacement panel can be attached and locked to the casing as described above, and the battery cover can be locked to the casing, and the clip or replacement panel can be locked using the battery lid.
