Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable electronic device in which an electronic device having a keyboard is housed in a portable case.

(b) Background of the Technology Portable electronic devices are used as one of the terminal devices in, for example, banking systems and POS systems. This device houses electronic equipment for registering and processing transaction data, including a transaction input device such as a keyboard, in a single portable case, allowing an operator (staff) to perform transaction operations from any location. It is something to do.

(c) Prior art and problems Conventional portable electronic devices are shown in Figure 1a,
As shown in b, electronic devices including a keyboard 6, a printer 7, etc. are housed in the present case 5 having a cover 4. Additionally, for portability, the case 5 is generally provided with a handle 3 that is rotatably attached, and the cover 4 is attached to the case 5 via a locking fitting 2 so that it can be opened and closed. ing. However, as shown in FIG. 1B, the installation space for the electronic devices contained therein is naturally controlled due to the miniaturization of the case and the like. Especially regarding the keyboard 6, it is difficult to secure a hand rest space necessary for operating the keyboard.

(d) Purpose of the invention The purpose of the invention is to provide a portable electronic device that can secure a hand rest for the keyboard without increasing the size of the device, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional device. It is in.

(e) Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above object, the invention is constructed so that the handle part of the case and the hand rest part serve both purposes. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail using examples.

(f) Embodiment of the invention Figures 2 to 4 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the invention. In the figures, common parts are given the same reference numerals; 10 is a portable electronic device; 11 is a portable electronic device;
12 is the hand rest, 12 is the cover lock part, 13 is the cover, 14 is the case, 15 is the keyboard,
16 is a printer, and 17 is a rubber foot.

That is, in this embodiment, the case 14 and the hand rest 11 are integrally formed, and the handle portion 19 is formed on the hand rest 11. Further, the keyboard 15 to be housed is incorporated into the case 14 so that its operation surface (key top surface and key cover surface) is substantially on the same plane as the hand rest 11. Further, the lock portion 12 between the case 14 and the cover 13 is provided on the side surface of the case as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the cover 13 is removed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the operating surface of the keyboard 15 and the base surface of the hand rest 11 are inclined so as to gradually become lower toward the front of the device (toward the right side in the figure). Therefore, as shown in the figure, the operator can place his hands on the hand rest 11 and operate the keyboard 15 in a more natural manner.

As described above, in this embodiment, by using both the hand rest and the handle of the case, it is possible to improve the operability of the keyboard with a very simple shape.

(g) Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, the hand rest, which is an important element for improving the operability of the keyboard, can be secured without increasing the size of the device.
You can expect practical effects.
