Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the structure of a small-sized electronic computer used as an office computer or the like.

Particularly when used as an office computer, it is required to minimize wasted space and to have excellent operability.

In general, an electronic computer includes an arithmetic unit, a storage device, a control device,
It has an input device and an output device.

The storage devices include a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device 1 (also called an external storage device).

), and file storage is performed by an auxiliary storage device.

This auxiliary storage device includes magnetic tape, magnetic drum,
Although there are magnetic disks, floppy disks are increasingly used in small electronic computers due to economic efficiency and ease of use.

The present invention relates to a structure for storing a floppy disk as the above-mentioned auxiliary storage device and a structure for attaching and detaching the same.

Generally, small electronic computers such as office computers require space for a floppy disk as an auxiliary storage device.

One type includes a separate floppy drive containing a floppy disk and is used alongside the computer itself.

In this case, the overall volume of the device increases, and it is difficult to operate the input device or view the output device while attaching a floppy disk.

1. There is also a type in which a floppy disk is attached to the side of the display device, but in this case as well, the space for the floppy drive becomes large, making the entire device larger.

The object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to obtain a small-sized electronic computer with excellent operability.

This invention locates the floppy drive between the keyboard as an input device and the display device as an output device, thereby reducing wasted space and allowing keyboard operations, checking the display device, and loading and unloading of the floppy disk in the same location. The objective of this book is achieved by allowing both students to face the same direction.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an example of an electronic computer according to the present invention.

A keyboard 11 is provided as an input device, a character disk player 12 is provided as an output device, and an arithmetic device, main storage device, and control device are also implemented although not shown in the figure.

Furthermore, although a printer is generally connected and used as an output device, it is not necessary for the explanation of the present invention and will therefore be omitted.

The floppy drive 13 is arranged between the keyboard 11 and the front of the character display 12.

A floppy disk stored in the floppy drive 13 has a part of the surface on which the keyboard 11 is provided open so that it can be attached or removed.

This opening/closing is performed by the lid 14, and the lid 14 is opened when a floppy disk is attached or removed, and normally the lid 14 is closed and the button is pressed.

FIG. 2 is a partial plan view of an example of an electronic computer according to the present invention, showing a portion that accommodates a floppy disk.

There is a space between the keyboard 11 and the character display 12 in which a floppy drive 13 is accommodated.

A predetermined number of floppy drives are accommodated in this space and covered with a lid 14.

The lid 14 is supported in one direction so that it can be opened and closed.
As shown in FIG. 3, a structure in which the character display 12 side is supported, the keyboard 11 side is lifted, and the keyboard 11 side is raised so as to be placed against the front of the character display 12 is preferable.

A protrusion 15 provided on the keyboard 11 side of the lid 14 can be used to hang a finger when opening and closing.

The part that accommodates the floppy drive 13 extends downward from the surface of the keyboard 11, but as shown in Figure 1, if you tilt the button toward the back, your feet will not touch the main body when operating it. Touching can be prevented.

Therefore, the floppy drive 13 is also installed at an angle with respect to the main body of the computer.

The lid 14 that accommodates the floppy drive can be used as a stand for a form 16, as shown in FIG.

At this time, the protrusion 15 serves to prevent the form 16 from shifting and falling.

Further, if the lid 14 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material, the displayed contents can be checked when the floppy disk is installed or removed by leaning it against the character disk display.

An acrylic plate or the like is suitable as the material, but glass can also be used.

According to this invention, the space between the keyboard and the character display can be used as the space to accommodate the floppy drive, and the space used in the past can also be used as a form table, eliminating wasted space and reducing the size. An electronic computer is obtained.

In addition, in terms of operability, it has the advantage that you can operate the keyboard, check the character display, and install and remove the floppy disk in one move from the same position and facing the same direction. It also becomes possible to confirm.

In addition, since an appropriate distance is placed between the operator's eyes and the character display screen, there is an advantage that confirmation is easy.
