[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable telephone in which a microphone and an earphone connected to a telephone main body by a cord can be separated from the telephone main body. It is characterized in that it is provided with concave portions 27 and 28 each capable of storing the earphone 26. The invention according to claim 2 is the microphone 2
5 and the earphone 26 are characterized in that they can be used either in a state housed in the main body or in a state separated from the telephone main body 20. The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the microphone 25
The recesses 27 and 28 for housing the earphones 26 include a recess 27 for housing the microphone 25 in a portion facing the mouth and a recess 28 for housing the earphone 26 in a portion facing the ears when the telephone body 20 is normally used. Each is characterized by being formed.

[0007] By adopting this configuration, when the telephone is used, the telephone main body can be used while being held in a pocket, a belt or the like, so that hands-free operation is possible. When not in use, the microphone and the earphone are stored in recesses provided in the telephone main body. can do.

[0008]

1 and 2 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a microphone and earphones are taken out of a housing recess of a telephone body.
FIG. 2A is a diagram showing a state in which a microphone and an earphone are housed in a housing recess of the telephone body, FIG. 2A is a front view, and FIG.
Is a side view.

In this embodiment, a telephone body 20 is provided with a dial button 21, a liquid crystal display 22, and an antenna 23, and a wireless device and a battery for power supply are built in the telephone body. Further, a cord 24 connected to a transmission circuit and a reception circuit inside the telephone body is pulled out from a lower part of the telephone body, and a microphone 25 and an earphone 26 are connected to the cord 24. Further, a recess 27 is formed in the lower part of the front surface of the telephone body 20 so that the microphone 25 can be used in a usable state, and at the same time, a cord 27 between the telephone body 20 and the microphone 25 can be accommodated. A concave portion 28 that can be accommodated in a state is formed. An earphone 26 and a microphone 2 are provided on the side of the telephone body 20.
A groove 29 capable of accommodating the cord 24 therebetween is formed.

The length of the cord 24 between the earphone 26 and the microphone 25 is such that the microphone 25 is near the mouth when the earphone 26 is worn on the ear, and the length of the cord 24 between the microphone 25 and the telephone body 20 is set. Preferably, the length is such that the telephone body 20 can be worn on a belt when the earphone 26 is worn on the ear.

The mobile phone of the present embodiment thus configured can be used with the earphone 26 attached to the ear and the phone body 20 held in a belt or pocket.
In this case, both hands are free and hands-free operation can be realized. When not in use, as shown in FIG. 2, the cord 24 between the microphone 25 and the telephone body 20 and the microphone 25 are accommodated in a concave portion 27 formed at the lower part of the telephone body 20, and the earphone 26 is located at the upper part of the telephone body 20.
