DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional cordless telephone set, the vertical type cordless telephone set has a large end portion because it forms a flat portion 11 for vertical placement (see FIG. 5). ), Therefore, the ease of holding is significantly reduced when used in a horizontal state.

In addition, since the horizontal type cordless telephone is easy to hold in a horizontal state, it is not possible to provide a flat portion that enlarges the end portion, and therefore, the vertical type cannot be used.

Further, the horizontal type cordless telephone has a problem that the operating state of the telephone cannot be seen because the operation surface 1 is on the lower side.

Further, some users have demanded that even a vertically-installed cordless telephone be placed in a horizontal position when it is desired to be placed on the desk 13 or the like in a particularly stable state.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an excellent cordless telephone capable of selecting both vertical and horizontal states with a single cordless telephone. It is a thing.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a holding means for holding a battery in a battery storage recess at the end of a cordless telephone, and a rotatable cover covering the battery storage recess. The battery lid is provided with a stopper that can change the rotation angle of the battery lid to increase the thickness of the end portion of the cordless telephone so that it can be placed vertically or can be locked at a smaller angle.

Action The present invention has the following actions due to the above configuration. That is, by changing the rotation angle of the battery lid by using the stopper of the battery lid and increasing the rotation angle, the thickness of the end portion of the cordless telephone can be expanded and the cordless telephone can be placed horizontally. Further, if the angle is made smaller, the thickness of the end portion can be made smaller, so that it can be placed in a horizontal position for easy holding.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a view showing the cordless telephone of this embodiment in a horizontally placed state and a vertically placed state, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the vicinity of a telephone cover for making the state of FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the operation of the battery lid of FIG.

In the case of the cordless telephone, the operation surface 1 is formed on the lower case 3 and the upper case 5 is provided on the opposite side.
The upper case 5 also integrally forms a bottom portion 23 inside the battery housing recess 21. The battery 9 is held on the bottom portion 23.
Retaining is performed by battery fixing ribs 25 and 27 provided on both side walls of the bottom. One of these battery fixing ribs 2
Numeral 7 is provided at an end portion which is continuous with the bottom portion 23, which has elasticity so that the battery 9 can be attached and detached. Further, a hole 29 for rotating the battery lid is provided in the upper portion of the bottom portion 23.
A projection 31 for rotating the battery lid, which is provided on the battery lid 7, is fitted into the hole 29.

A U-shaped groove 33 is formed on the end surface of the battery lid 7.
The lower case 3 is provided with a slide claw 37 for fixing the battery lid, the slide claw 37 having a protrusion 35 that fits into the U-shaped groove 33. That is, the lower case 3 is the bottom of the battery housing recess 21.
The upper case 5 integrally forming 23 is carried so as to wrap a part of the lower end thereof, and the left and right side walls of the bottom 23 are formed. The slide claw 37 is provided on the side wall at the end of the lower case 3.
However, it is provided so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. By this slide, the projection 35 of the slide claw 37 is formed into the U-shaped groove 33.
You can move along.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below.

First, when the battery 9 is housed in the battery housing recess 21 according to FIG. 2, the tip of the battery 9 is made to go under the one battery fixing rib 25, and the other battery fixing rib 27 is elastically retracted. Then, it is held by these two battery fixing ribs 25 and 27 while being pushed in. Next, the fixing projection 31 of the battery lid 7 is fitted into the hole 29 provided on the battery housing recess 21 side to make the battery lid 7 rotatable. The end surface of the battery lid 7 also has a certain elasticity, whereby the projection 35 of the side claw 37 on the lower case 3 side is inserted into the groove 33 of this end surface. When the slide claw 37 is moved to the right side in the drawing in this inserted state and the battery lid 7 is slightly lifted, the protrusion 35 enters into the lower side of the U-shaped groove 33, so that the rotation angle of the battery lid 7 is increased. It can be fixed in the state (Fig. 4). As a result, the thickness of the end of the cordless telephone is expanded as shown in FIG. 7, and the cordless telephone can be placed vertically as shown in FIG. 1 (B). Further, by moving the slide claw 37 to the right side in the figure again and pushing down the battery lid 7, the turning angle is made smaller this time (Fig. 3), the thickness of the end of the cordless telephone is narrowed, and it is easy to hold. It can be placed in a horizontal position (FIG. 1 (B)).

In addition, in the above embodiment, the battery 9 is placed in the battery storage recess 21.
As a holding means for holding the two battery fixing ribs 25, 27
However, various other holding means may be used in other embodiments. For example, a spring is used to press and hold the battery.

Further, in the above embodiments, the rotatable battery lid 7 provided with the rotation protrusion 31 has been described, but in other embodiments, a rotation hole may be provided. In this case, a rotation projection is provided on the battery storage recess 21 side. In addition, any structure that can rotate can be adopted.

Further, although the slide claw 37 and the groove 33 are used as the stoppers for locking the rotary lid at the two rotary angles, the present invention is not limited to these in other embodiments, and various other methods can be considered. For example, the battery lid 7 and the lower case 3 are provided with two projections having two smooth curves arranged side by side in the rotation direction and a fitting recess having a smooth curve into which the projections fit. As a result, by forcibly rotating the battery cover 7 with a finger, the elasticity of the battery cover 7 or the lower case 3 causes the protrusions to be mixed in the fitting recesses, or to be removed and mixed with other protrusions. The rotation angle of the stage can be obtained. It is also possible to have one projection and two fitting recesses.
Further, the protrusion may be biased in the protruding direction by a spring.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is apparent from the above-described embodiment, the present invention is such that the rotation angle of the battery lid at the end of the cordless telephone can be changed in two steps, and has the following effects.

(1) One cordless telephone can be used either vertically or horizontally.

(2) For this reason, even if the operation surface is a cordless telephone which is provided on a surface that is hidden when it is placed horizontally, the operation surface can be easily viewed by placing it vertically, and it is in use. Can be easily confirmed.

(3) When moving with a cordless telephone, the portability can be improved by setting the rotation angle of the battery lid to a small angle.
