BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. 1 (a) and 1 (b) are perspective views showing a state of the portable telephone of the present invention when it is used and when it is not used, and FIG. 2 is an exploded configuration explanatory view showing an example of the holder of the present invention. The portable telephone 20 shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) is
An outline of a grip portion 21 gripped by a carrier during a call, and a movable portion (speaker portion) 24 pivotably supported by a rotation mechanism 22 located at a lower end of the grip portion 21 and provided with a microphone 23. It is configured. Gripping part 21
Includes a speaker 25, an operation unit 26 and a display unit 27 located below the speaker 25, an antenna 28, and a battery 2.
9 etc. are arranged. When making a call, the movable part 24 is used with the rotating mechanism 22 as the center as shown in FIG. 3A, and when not in use, the movable part 24 is folded and closed to the grip 21 side as shown in FIG. ..

The characteristic structure of this portable telephone 20 lies in that concave rails 30 are formed on both side edges of the movable portion 24. The concave rail 30 has an open end 30a on the base end side of the grip portion 21 and a terminal end 30b that terminates midway on the tip end side.

As shown in FIG. 2, a holder 35 for holding the portable telephone 20 is a clip which is pivotally supported by a pin 38 with respect to a holder main body 36 and a hole 37a of a support projection 37 on the back surface of the holder main body 36. 39, and a spring 40 for pressing the non-slip portion 39a at the tip of the clip 39 against the back surface of the clip 39. The holder main body 36 includes convex rails 43 formed by bending both side edges of a plate-shaped base portion 42 inward toward the inside,
The edge 43a of the convex rail 43 is the portable telephone 20.
The movable portion 24 can be fitted into the concave rails 30 provided on both end surfaces of the movable portion 24, and the dimensions are set so that the movable portion 24 is held with a predetermined clamping force after the fitting. Figure 3 (a) (b) and
(c) is an explanatory view showing a procedure of mounting the portable telephone 20 on the holder 35 fixed to the waist belt 45 of the wearer and a state of using the holder. The holder 35 uses the clip 39 on the back side (body side) of the belt. The slip-prevention portion 39a at the tip of the clip is inserted into the back surface of the belt or the base portion 42 of the holder.
It is pressed against the back and locked (Fig. (A)). In the state where the movable portion 24 is closed as shown in FIG. 7A, the open end 30a of the concave rail 30 is located below, so the edge 43a of the convex rail 43 fits into this open end 30a. When the mobile phone is press-fitted from above the holder as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the portable telephone can be inserted into the holder until the upper end of the edge 43a of the convex rail comes into contact with the terminal end 30b of the concave rail. Here, if the width of the recessed groove 43b of the recessed rail 43 and the wall thickness of the end edge 43a are appropriately set, the movable portion 24 can be strongly held so as not to fall off. It is also possible to provide a concave and a convex at appropriate places on the concave and convex rails to form a click mechanism so that the user can be informed of the attachment / detachment of the telephone, and this click mechanism prevents the telephone from falling off. May be.

When the portable telephone is held by the holder 35, the battery portion 29 faces outward, so that FIG.
If the grip 21 is opened as shown in FIG.
3 and the speaker 25 are opened at the same time, and transmission / reception is possible. Although the microphone 23 and the speaker 25 of the mobile phone attached to the waist belt 45 are far away from the mouth and ears of the wearer, they are not supported as long as they speak loudly. When listening to the voice from the speaker 25, there is no problem if the reception volume is set to be high. On the contrary, since it is not necessary to hold the telephone by hand and use the telephone by pressing it against the face, it is easy even during a long-term call. Further, when the movable portion 24 is opened, the display portion 27 is easy to see and the operation portion 26
Is also easy to operate. If you are unwilling to listen to others due to the contents of the conversation, you can remove it from the holder and make a conversation using the usual conversation method. As described above, if the listening volume is high, confidentiality cannot be maintained. Therefore, a switch for switching to the secret mode or a volume adjusting switch is provided, and the listening volume becomes low only when this switch is operated. To be configured.

In the above embodiment, the concave rail is provided on the telephone side and the convex rail is provided on the holder side, but this may be reversed. That is, FIGS. 4 (a), (b) and FIG. 5 are configuration explanatory views of a portable telephone and a holder according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a convex rail is provided on the telephone side and a concave rail is provided on the holder side. The configuration is different from that of the first embodiment.
The same parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the duplicated description will be omitted.

Convex rails 50 are provided at both ends of the movable portion 24 of this portable telephone, and the base portion 42 of the holder is provided.
Concave rails 51 into which the convex rails 50 can be fitted are provided on both side edges of the above, and the portable telephone is attached to the holder by slidingly fitting the convex rails 50 into the concave rails 51. Figure 3 shows the procedure for installing and using the telephone.
The same as (a), (b) and (c). From the viewpoint of workability when the movable part 24 and the holder are injection-molded, the second embodiment is advantageous because the shape is simpler.

In any of the above-mentioned embodiments, like the conventional box-shaped holder, without opening the lid of the holder, taking out the telephone, opening the movable part, and then operating it, the complicated operation procedure is not required. Since the operation can be performed simply by opening the movable portion of the mobile phone that is fixed to the belt via the holder, it is possible to provide simple operability suitable for the mobile phone. In particular, except for cases where loud calls are discouraged due to reasons such as location and for calls that require confidentiality, it is possible to make a call while holding the phone on the belt without holding the phone by hand, resulting in higher operability. It is hard to get tired even in a long-term call. Further, since the telephone can be easily attached to and detached from the holder, it is easy to take out the telephone from the holder and make a call when it is desired to hold the telephone in the hand and make a normal call. On the contrary, when the call ends, the telephone can be simply closed by moving the movable part without the complicated procedure of opening and closing the holder and then closing the lid. Can be carried compactly.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a portable telephone which comprises a holding portion having a speaker, an operating portion and the like, and a movable portion which is openably and closably connected to the holding portion. It is possible to solve the problem of deterioration in operability, which is a drawback of the conventional holder used when carrying the item while wearing it on the waist belt.
