Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a telephone housing in which a volume knob for adjusting the volume by sliding is installed on the top cover. Regarding the removal structure.

[Technical background of the invention]

FIG. 1 shows a conventional telephone set. Conventionally, an operation panel 2 is placed on the top cover 1 that constitutes the housing.
There is a telephone set in which the operation panel 2 of a different color can be replaced as desired.
In such a telephone, in order to make the operation panel 2 removable from the upper cover 1, steps are provided on three sides around the hole in the cover 1 that is closed by the operation panel 2. The three sides of the fitted operation panel 2 are supported, and the end surface 2a of the other side is brought into contact with the end surface 1a of the cover 1 as shown in FIG. The structure was such that the operation panel 2 was opened by prying open the joint 3 with the edge 1b.

The telephone has a volume knob 6 protruding from the opening 5 of the operation panel 2 as a volume control device 4 for adjusting the volume, and by moving the volume knob from side to side, the volume can be adjusted to an appropriate level. There is something like this.

[Problems with background technology]

However, with such a structure of the case, it is very difficult to open and close the operation panel 2, and it is necessary to match the end surface of the upper cover 1 with one end surface of the operation panel 2, which makes the overall design and the operation panel 2 The disadvantage was that the structure was subject to various restrictions.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a telephone that allows the operation panel to be easily removed when maintenance or inspection or replacement of the operation panel is required, and that provides flexibility in the setting position of the operation panel relative to the cover. The purpose is to provide a housing.

[Summary of the invention] In the present invention, by providing a recess for accommodating the volume knob along the periphery of the operation panel, a part of the end surface of the operation panel is exposed in the recess, and a finger is inserted into the recess and the operation panel is pressed with the finger. The above objective is achieved by making it possible to raise the

[Example of idea]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. FIG. 2 is an external view of the telephone of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the same with the operation panel lifted up.

The casing of this telephone is formed by a lower cover 11 and an upper cover 12. The upper cover 12 has a printed wiring board 14 on which a key switch 13 is mounted.
is stored. Further, a rectangular hole 15 is formed in the upper cover 12 at a position corresponding to the printed wiring board 14, and a step portion 16 is formed around the periphery of this hole. The operation panel 17 is fitted into the hole 15 and supported by the upper cover 11 by the stepped portion 16 .

The operation panel 17 has four claws 18 on its side edges.
is provided, and this claw is guided into and engaged with the recess 19 of the upper cover 12 to tightly fix the operation panel 17 to the upper cover 12. In this example, the recesses 19 are provided at four locations on opposing surfaces of the wall forming the hole 15 of the upper cover 12.

Therefore, in this telephone, the operation panel 17
The operation buttons 20 disposed on each operate in conjunction with the corresponding key switch 13, and by operating the button 20, the key switch 13 can be operated. On the other hand, in this telephone, a recess 21 is formed at the front edge of the hole 15 of the upper cover 12.
A volume knob 22 is accommodated in this recess. Therefore, the volume knob 22 is surrounded by three walls formed by the upper cover 12 and one wall formed by the operation panel 17, and is moved in the left-right direction along the side of the operation panel 17 within these walls.

When removing the operation panel 17 of the telephone according to the above embodiment, move the volume knob 22 to the edge of the recess 21, secure enough space for inserting your fingertip into the recess, insert your fingertip there and lift the end surface 17a of the operation panel 17. As a result, the operation panel 17 is removed from the upper cover 12. In this case, if a step 23 is formed on the end surface 17a of the operation panel 17, a finger can be placed on the step, and the operation panel 17 can be removed more easily.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the telephone casing according to the present invention, a recess for accommodating the volume knob is formed in contact with a part of the peripheral surface of the operation panel in the upper cover, so that the moving path of the volume knob can be adjusted from the operation panel. This is used as a space to insert your finger for removal, making it easier to remove the operation panel.
The degree of freedom in design also increases.
