Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a small wireless telephone that can be folded when being carried.

[Prior Art] FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) show a conventional portable foldable wireless telephone, and FIG. 3 (a) is a perspective view during use thereof.
FIG. 3 (b) is a perspective view at the time of folding, and in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), 1B is a radio telephone, and this radio telephone 1B is the first casing provided with the speaker section. A body (hereinafter abbreviated as a speaker unit 1a) and a second housing provided with a microphone unit (hereinafter abbreviated as a microphone unit 1b) are rotatably connected to each other by a hinge unit 2. Therefore, the hinge portion is configured to be foldable. Also,
1c is a grip portion (thin-walled portion) that the user grips at the time of use, 3 is a push button switch such as a numeric keypad provided inside the speaker portion 1a and the microphone portion 1b when folding, and 4 is a wireless telephone 1B
This is a gap formed between the speaker unit 1a and the microphone unit 1b when folded.

Such a radio telephone 1B is used by rotating the speaker portion 1a and the microphone portion 1b around the hinge portion 2 to open them and operating the push button switch 3 as shown in FIG. 3 (a). To be done. Also, when carrying the speaker unit, as shown in FIG.
Also, the microphone 1b is rotated to fold the wireless telephone 1B.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In a conventional portable foldable wireless telephone, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), a grip portion 1c for a user is thinly formed in a speaker portion 1a and a microphone portion 1b. Therefore, there is a problem that the user's finger easily touches the push button switch 3 during use, which causes an erroneous operation, leading to a place other than the destination. In addition, when folded when being carried, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), since the gap 4 is open, the user's finger or the like enters through the gap 4 even when carrying the push button switch 3
There is also a risk of touching and causing an erroneous operation even while carrying.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a portable foldable wireless telephone which prevents an erroneous operation during use or carrying and is easy to hold and use. .

[Means for Solving the Problem] The portable folding radio telephone according to the present invention is provided with a push button switch protection member in which the outer peripheral side end of the thin portion where the push button switch is arranged is higher than the thin portion. It is a thing.

[Operation] In the portable foldable wireless telephone according to the present invention, the push button switch protection member can prevent the user's finger from touching the push button switch unnecessarily during use, and the push button switch protection member can be protected from a finger. It makes it easier to hold. Further, when carrying, the gap between the speaker part and the microphone part can be reduced or eliminated by the push button switch protection member, and it is possible to prevent the finger from unnecessarily touching the push button switch when carrying.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First
In FIGS. 1A and 1B, reference numeral 1 denotes a wireless telephone according to the present embodiment, and the wireless telephone 1 is also capable of rotating a speaker portion 1a and a microphone portion 1b by a hinge portion 2 as in the conventional one. The hinge portion 2 is configured to be foldable by connecting to the. Further, 1c is a grip portion that a user grips during use, and 3 is a push-button switch such as a numeric keypad provided on an inner portion of the speaker portion 1a and the microphone portion 1b when folded.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a push button switch protection member in which the outer peripheral side end of the thin portion 1c in which the push button switch 3 is arranged is made higher than this thin portion, 6 denotes the push button switch protection member 5 and the microphone portion 1b when the wireless telephone 1 is folded. It is a gap formed between.

Next, the operation of the wireless telephone 1 of this embodiment will be described. Basically, like the conventional wireless telephone 1B, the first
As shown in FIG. 3A, the speaker unit 1a is provided around the hinge unit 2.
It is used by rotating and opening the microphone part 1b and operating the push button switch 3. When carrying, the wireless telephone 1 is folded by rotating the speaker portion 1a and the microphone portion 1b around the hinge portion 2 as shown in FIG. 1 (b).

By the way, in the wireless telephone 1 of the present embodiment, when the user grips and tightens the grip portion 1c during use, the finger touches the push button switch protection member 5, so that it is possible to prevent the push button switch 3 from being unnecessarily touched, and an erroneous operation is performed. And the wireless telephone 1 is easy to hold and use.

Further, when the wireless telephone 1 is folded while being carried, the gap 6 between the speaker portion 1a and the microphone portion 1b is made smaller by the push button switch protection member 5 than the conventional gap 5 [see FIG. 3 (b)]. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operator from accidentally touching the push button switch 3 with his / her finger even when carrying the push button switch 3.

In the above embodiment, the speaker unit 1a and the microphone unit 1b are
Wireless phone 1 with push button switch 3 on any of
However, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the push button switch 3 is provided only in the speaker section 1a,
Also in the wireless telephone 1A having no push button switch 3 in the microphone portion 1b, push button switches are provided on both sides of the arrangement portion of the push button switch 3 of the speaker portion 1a and in the vicinity of the grip portion 1c as in the above embodiment. By forming and arranging the protective member 7, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained, and in this case, as shown in FIG.
Since 1b will be stored in the space between the push button switch protection members 7 and 7, it will be possible to carry it in an extremely compact form, and there will be no gap between the speaker unit 1a and the microphone unit 1b. No erroneous operation when carrying.

In the above embodiment, the push button switch protection member 5,
Although the case where 7 is formed to the minimum necessary amount is shown, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), even if the push button switch protection member 5A is formed so as to protrude somewhat from the speaker portion 1a surface. Good.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, since the push button switch protection members are formed and arranged on both sides in the vicinity of the grip portion in the push button switch arrangement portion of the speaker portion or the microphone portion, the fingers are pushed. Since the button switch protection member is provided, it is easy to hold and use, and it is possible to prevent the finger from unnecessarily touching the push button switch, and it is possible to reliably prevent an erroneous operation from occurring.
