Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone set, and more particularly to a casing formed by a top surface, one side surface, a rear wall, and a bottom surface, which has dials and/or casings. or a keyboard for operation, a display means provided on the upper side thereof, a speaker and/or a hands-free operation means provided with a Qld adjustment means, and formed in the upper surface adjacent to the keyboard and the display means. The present invention relates to a telephone having a handset and a handset that are fitably received in support quadrants extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

PRIOR TECHNOLOGY In a conventional telephone of the type described above, its top surface is slightly inclined (10°) with respect to the surface on which the telephone is placed, so that the display means is tilted more steeply to enable a better view of this. It had to be provided at an angle (West German Patent Application No. 3406881). Also, as long as the explanatory label is placed on the key itself, there will be no problem with label visibility on the gentle slope of the top of the phone.
If a label is provided between the keys or next to the key, a problem arises in that the label becomes difficult to visually recognize. However, by reducing the slope of the top surface of the phone and basically lowering the height of the phone 11 casing, it became possible to lift the phone 1υ to the west with one hand, and at the same time, use the same hand to hold the handset. This has the advantage of being able to be held on the top of the phone.

German Patent No. 3,210,111 discloses an upper-middle or wall-mounted telephone in which the upper surface of the telephone carrying a board is tilted sharply towards the user. Although this provides better visibility of the key labels and display means as explained above, the disadvantage of such a telephone is that it cannot be lifted with one hand.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention It is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone that provides good visibility of key labels and display means and that can be easily lifted with one hand.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention achieves the above-mentioned object by providing a telephone, which is formed for tabletop use, and whose top surface is inclined at an angle of more than 20 degrees and less than 45 degrees with respect to the installation surface of the telephone; The walls are formed at an angle in the range of 80° to 100° with respect to the top surface, and the bottom surface is achieved by a telephone extending parallel to the top surface and the rear wall.

This telephone therefore has a housing shape with an rLJ-shaped cross section, and when installed, both leg ends of this 1-shape contact the installation surface. The spacing from the bottom surface of the telephone housing to the top surface of the handset can be selected such that the telephone can be easily held in the hand, thereby allowing the telephone to be easily held in one hand.

The top surface of the phone is tilted more towards the user, making the key labels and display means easier to read.

In one variant of the invention, the space between the top and bottom surfaces accommodates the electrical and electronic components N1 comprising the basic equipment of the telephone, while the space between the rear wall and the bottom surface accommodates the Other equipment can be installed through corresponding openings inside.

In some special configurations of the telephone housing, the rear wall of the telephone may be provided with four gripping sections for lifting the telephone. In such a case, the space for the other equipment listed above will be left blank. The telephone according to the invention can thus be easily adapted to various uses.

In yet another modification of the invention, a belly is formed on a portion of the bottom surface of the phone that extends parallel to the top surface and extends to a portion of the bottom surface that extends parallel to the rear wall. This abdomen is narrower than the width of a telephone. Corresponding to the predetermined width of the telephone, a sufficiently large abdomen can be provided on the underside, which can be used to accommodate other equipment, for example additional conductor plates.

In yet another modification of the invention, a cable introduction part is provided on the side surface of the abdomen. As a result, it is possible to introduce cables (such as connecting cords and handset connecting cords) horizontally on the underside of the telephone.

In a further variant of the invention, the dialing and operating keyboard together with the display means is formed on a carriage which tightly closes the top of the telephone, the carriage being located between a first position and a second position. can be moved freely, and in the second position, keys such as the seven-arrow key, memory dial, and glass, or display means on the underside of the carriage can be freely accessed.

As a result, the expansion of the keyboard also allows for a corresponding expansion of the Raidan screen.

In a further variant of the invention, a gear ridge is partially formed in the upper part of the rear wall. A carriage formed in this way can/can be equipped with a badge reader and/or a printing device. Further advantages result from the dependent claims.
