In the above-mentioned conventional technique, special members such as the retaining member F and the screw G are required, and the assembling work is complicated, and moreover, the movement is prevented after the elevation angle is set. In order to allow sliding while maintaining a proper friction state, it is important to tighten the retaining member F with the screw G, and it is necessary to finely adjust the tightening degree of the screw G.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting an elevation angle varying member in an information processing terminal which can be assembled by a simple work under a simple structure in which a mounting structure using screws is abolished. .

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms a slit in a sliding bearing and an insertion hole in the slit end, while the elevation angle varying member has the above-mentioned structure. Sliding state in which a hook-shaped locking piece that can pass through the insertion hole is engaged so that the slider can slide in the slit and the locking piece passes through the insertion hole. In addition, a stopper is provided to prevent the locking piece from matching the insertion hole, or a slit is formed in the sliding bearing, while a hook-shaped locking piece is provided at the tip of the variable elevation angle member. An elastic arm slider protruding from the slit is engaged so as to be slidable in the slit, so that the locked state is always maintained after the locking piece engages with the slit. It is a feature.

[0006]

[Operation] The variable elevation angle member such as the display unit or the keyboard is
It can be used in an optimal angular relationship for the user by changing the elevation angle while sliding along an arcuate trajectory.
In the normal use state of the elevation angle varying member, the stopper is maintained in the state of being locked to the slit by the stopper or the elasticity of the slider.

A variable elevation angle member 4 as a display portion of a corresponding arcuate section is slidably provided on the arcuate surface in an obliquely forward direction, and a handset 5 is installed on one side portion of the body case 1. At the same time, other necessary electrical components (not shown) are provided inside the body case 1, so that the elevation angle varying member 4 can be slid on the arcuate surface during use to be adjusted to an optimum angular relationship. Computer of service provider company via telephone line Connect, adopt banking, shopping, reservation, a query of various information, a type phone with a information processing functions can be performed automatically and remotely.

As a special configuration of the present invention for the information processing terminal of the above type, for example, as shown in detail in FIGS.
6 and the slits 6, 6 are provided with wide insertion holes 7, 7 at the rear end portions thereof, and the elevation angle varying member 4 is provided with a hook-shaped engagement member that can pass through the insertion hole 7. The sliders 9 and 9 are provided with the stoppers 8 projecting laterally from the tip side, and after inserting the sliders 9 and 9 from the insertion holes 7 and 7, the slits 6 and 6 are formed.
A stopper 10 is provided to prevent the locking piece 8 from facing the insertion hole 7 in a sliding state in which the locking piece 8 is slidably engaged with the locking piece 8 and has passed through the insertion hole 7.

As the stopper 10, for example, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, a cutout hole 11 is formed in a part of the wall of the sliding support portion 3 near the front end, and a hidden cover 12 continuous with the curved surface of the slide support portion 3 is formed in the cutout hole 11 as a base portion. In addition to being pivotally stopped by the hinge 13 and supported by the receiving step 14 at the portion near the tip, it is provided so as to be rotatable only outward, and the hidden cover 12 has a hook-like shape that restricts the sliding of the elevation angle varying member 4. The stopper 10 is arranged at a position concealed by the variable elevation angle member 4 while protruding upward, the cover wall near the stopper 10 is formed thin, and the thin portion is bent downward. Only in this case, the stopper 10 can be moved backward so that the blocking by the stopper 10 can be released. On the other hand, the elevation variable member 4 is provided with a hook 15 for engaging with the stopper 10. Hidden RO fitted with a bar 12 on the inside
It is used for attachment and detachment of an important member such as M and prevents the locking piece 8 of the slider 9 from matching with the insertion hole 7.

As the stopper 10, an elastic arm may be provided in an extended state inside the insertion hole 7 as shown in FIG. 6 without using a hidden cover.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, slits 6 and 6 are formed in the sliding bearing 3 without providing the wide insertion holes 7 and 7, while the elevation angle changing member 4 is projected laterally. The hook-shaped locking piece 8 in the installed state can engage and slide the elastic arm sliders 9, 9 formed at the tips while bending the elastic arm sliders 9, 9 against the elasticity thereof. Thus, after the engaging piece 8 is engaged with the slit 6, the elastic state of the slider 9 maintains the locked state at all times, and in order to supplement the mechanical strength of the sliders 9 and 9. A slit 16 different from the slits 6 and 6 is provided on the sliding support portion 3, and a projection 17 that slides on the slit 16 is provided on the elevation angle varying member 4, and the slit 16 and the projection 17 are provided. Is to prevent left-right movement. Masui.
