Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention allows documents to be displayed on the operation surface equipped with a keyboard.
The present invention relates to an electronic device equipped with a slidable mounting table on which a slip or the like is placed.

In general, slips, documents, etc., which are input information sources for electronic devices such as computers, are placed on the keyboard of the operation surface, or placed on a desk installed next to the computer, and these input information sources are This is done by operating predetermined keys on the keyboard while looking at the screen.

Therefore, in the past, there were disadvantages in that a very large space was required to install the electronic equipment, and that it was easy to make erroneous operations when inputting information.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention provides an electronic device equipped with a mounting table on which input information sources such as slips and documents can be placed without taking up much space. In addition, in the present invention, the mounting base is movable between a position covering a group of keys that are infrequently used in the keyboard and a position protruding in the lateral direction of the operation panel that is offset from above the key group. The movement guide structure is particularly characterized by being devised so as not to adversely affect key operations, operation surfaces, etc.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an external perspective view of an electronic device according to the present invention, in which 1 is a computer main body, 2 is a CRT display device installed on the top surface of the computer main body 1, and 3 is a printer.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an operation console formed protruding from the computer main body 1 toward the front, and on the operation console 4 are provided a frequently used keyboard 5, a less frequently used keyboard 6, and an operation console 7 according to the present invention. The mounting table 7 is attached to the operation console 4 so as to be slidable laterally as shown by the dashed line.

The mounting table 7 is made of a resin material such as acrylic and has a U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. Part 8 is designed to prevent documents placed there from falling. Also, a pair of rollers 10, 10 are rotatably attached to the inside of one of the curved pieces 9 of this mounting table 7, and a pair of rotatable rollers 12 is attached to the inside of the other curved piece 11 at one end. , 12 is attached to the angle 13 having a Z-shaped cross section.
As shown in the figure, this angle 13 is attached so as to protrude from one end of the mounting table 7 by a predetermined length, so that the mounting table 7 can be pulled out from the operation table 4 as shown by the dashed line in FIG. At times, it is configured to support the curved piece 11 side of the mounting table 7.

FIG. 3 shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the mounting table 7 attached to the operation table 4. As shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes an L-shaped sliding rod that is slidably provided in the front and back directions in the figure with respect to the operation console 4, and this sliding rod 14 has one end, as shown in detail in FIG. protrudes from the operating surface of the operating table 4, and a recessed portion 15 is formed in that portion, with which a roller 10 attached to the mounting table 7 engages.

Further, rotatable rollers 16, 16 are attached to the other end of the sliding rod 14, and these rollers are connected to the rail 1, which has a U-shaped cross section and is attached to the operating table 4.
7 so as to be slidable. Therefore, the sliding rod 14 can be moved in and out of the mounting table 4 along the rail 17.

Note that both ends of the rail 17 are closed to prevent the rollers of the sliding rod 14 from coming off.

Further, in FIG. 3, reference numeral 18 indicates a rail 18 having a U-shaped cross section attached to the lower end of the front side of the operating table 4, and as shown in FIG. The rollers 12, 12 of the Z-shaped angle 13 are slidably fitted.
Both ends of this rail 18 are also closed to prevent the rollers from coming off.

Note that the roller 1 attached to the curved piece 9 side of the mounting table 7
0 and 10 are configured to move on the operating table 4, and the rollers 10 and 10 are arranged so as to face the recess 15 of the sliding rod 14.

Therefore, according to the above configuration, the mounting table 7 can be moved as shown by the solid line or the dashed-dotted line in FIG. The mounting table 7 and its sliding rod 14 protrude to the side of the operating table 4. Therefore, the mounting table 7 is supported by the sliding rod 14 and the angle 13 so as to protrude from the side of the operating table 4.

On the other hand, by pressing the mounting base 7 in the right direction in FIG. 1 from the above-mentioned state, it can be moved to a position covering the keyboard 6 of the operation console 4, which is used relatively infrequently.

As described above, according to the electronic device of the present invention, the operation panel covers a group of keys that are infrequently used in a keyboard arranged on a control panel and is located in front and behind the key group when viewed from the operating direction of the keyboard. In order to make the mounting stand movable between a position covering the key group and a position protruding from above the key group in the lateral direction of the operation console, One side of the front bent part of the writing table is extended to a position opposite to the front wall of the operating table, and a member is provided on the front wall to slide on a guide rail arranged along the wall, and the writing table is provided with a member that slides on a guide rail arranged along the wall. A plurality of rotating rollers that slide on the surface of the operating table are provided on the rear bent piece, and a plurality of rotating rollers are provided on the side wall of the operating stand corresponding to the rotating roller positions on the rear bent piece of the placing stand. The rotary roller is provided with a roller holding portion on which the rotating roller is placed when moving in a lateral direction that protrudes further, and is provided so as to be movable laterally within a predetermined length from the side wall of the operating table as the mounting table moves. The device is equipped with a sliding rod, and is configured to allow the mounting base to be movable between a position covering the key group of the operation console and a position protruding in the lateral direction of the operation console. Since the members that guide movement (guide rails, sliding rods) are not located near the keys on the operation surface, the surface on the operation surface is simple and does not interfere with the operability of key input and does not spoil the aesthetic appearance of the operation surface. In addition, since there are no guide rails or the like on the surface of the operating table, dirt and the like will not fall there and interfere with the movement of the table, so the table can be expected to move smoothly.

Since the mounting base can be moved in the lateral direction of the operation console that is directly installed on the operation console provided with the keyboard, it can be easily installed in display devices, terminal equipment that only has a keyboard, etc. Furthermore, the mounting table has highly practical features such as serving as a cover for a group of keys that are used relatively infrequently when they are not in use, thereby preventing the keys from being manipulated. The installation space for electronic equipment can be reduced, and erroneous operations when inputting information can be prevented as much as possible.

Furthermore, since the mounting table is configured so that it can be moved to a position that covers the keyboard, which is used relatively infrequently, it is highly effective in preventing erroneous operations.
