Preferably, the second protrusion is formed in an axial shape.

The tooth portion has a tooth formed to adjust the angle between the housing and the support.

An end portion of the gear portion is provided with a stopper for fixing the angle adjusting member so that the housing and the support are in parallel for wall mounting.

Preferably, the support is further formed with a fixing part for wall-mounting.

In addition, the fixing portion is a groove formed in the bottom surface of the support.

The present invention is designed to be implemented as a single structure without having to purchase a separate additional parts for the various angle adjustment and wall mounting wall of the terminal, reducing the number of parts, the user has to buy separate parts to assemble and disassemble The convenience can be increased by reducing. Furthermore, the present invention has an advantage that the angle of view can be variously adjusted to the viewing angle of the terminal that can meet the needs of the user according to the user's selection in the range of 40 ° ~ 80 °.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

3 is an exploded view illustrating each component of the terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The terminal 200 includes a housing 201 composed of a terminal base 210 and a terminal front part 212, and a support 218 rotatably supporting the housing 201. The housing 201 is, for example, a housing for a general telephone or a keypad, and a display panel for displaying a call state or other information, a button for inputting a telephone number, and the like are disposed on the front portion 212 of the housing. The support 218 is of a size and shape that can be supported such that the housing 201 can be kept in an inclined state, for example, a rectangular frame or flat plate. On one side of the support 3 is formed a toothed portion 220 to which the tab 234 of the angle adjustment member 216 is engaged. To adjust the angle between the support 218 and the terminal base 210, the terminal 200 includes a pressing member 214, an angle adjusting member 216, and a spring member 222. In addition, the terminal base 210 and the support 218 is rotatably connected by a hinge (224).

FIG. 4A is a perspective coupling diagram of the terminal 200 showing a state in which the components shown in FIG. 3 are combined. A second opening 242 is formed below the terminal base 210, and the support 218 is inserted into the second opening 242. The pressing member 214 and the angle adjusting member 216 are rotatably mounted on the terminal base 210, respectively. The pressing member 214 is formed of a L-shaped plate-like member, a button portion 244 is formed at one end of the L-shaped upper end 214 ', and a plurality of first protrusions 226 at the L-shaped side portion 214 ". The first protrusion 226 is rotatably inserted into the first accommodating portion formed on the terminal base 210. Preferably, the first protrusion 226 is formed in an axial shape. An end of the side 214 ″ contacts the top surface of the angle adjusting member 216. The angle adjustment member 216 has a tab 234 at one end thereof, and a second protrusion 228 is formed on the side thereof. The second protrusion 228 is rotatably inserted into the second receiving portion 232 formed on the terminal base 210. Preferably, the second protrusion 228 is formed in an axial shape. The tab 234 is engaged with the gear 220 formed on one side of the support 218 to allow the terminal base 210 to be fixed in an inclined state.

4B is a perspective view of FIG. 4A viewed from the rear. The button portion 244 of the pressing member 214 is exposed to the outside of the housing 201 through the first opening 240 of the housing base 210.

5 is a perspective cross-sectional view of the terminal 200 taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 4A. 5 illustrates a state in which the tab 234 and the gear 220 are engaged with each other. The toothed part 220 is provided with teeth in a direction and a size that can prevent the magnetic force of the tab 234 from falling down, so that the terminal body 201 supports the support 218 while the tab 234 is engaged with the toothed part 220. It can be firmly fixed in an inclined state. In addition, a spring member 222 is provided on the terminal base 210 to elastically support the angle adjusting member 216 so that the tab 234 at one end thereof is engaged with the gear 220. The spring member 220 is preferably a wedge shaped plate spring.

Figure 6 is a side cross-sectional view showing in time series the operating principle of the terminal 200 according to the present invention to reduce the angle. FIG. 6A is a side cross-sectional view showing a state where an angle between the terminal base 210 and the support 218 is 80 °. When the angle adjustment is necessary, the user presses the button portion 244 of the pressing member 214 exposed to the rear of the terminal base 210 into the housing 201 as shown in FIG. The pressing member 214 on which the button portion 244 is pressed is rotated in a counterclockwise direction (relative to the direction of looking at (b) of FIG. 6) of the first protrusion 226 accommodated in the first receiving portion 230. One end of the side portion 214 ″ of the pressing member 214 presses the upper surface of the angle adjusting member 216. The pressed angle adjusting member 216 is a second protrusion 228 accommodated in the second receiving portion 232. ) Rotates clockwise (based on the direction of looking at Fig. 6 (b)) to compress the spring member 222. At this time, the angle adjusting member 216 is the direction in which the engagement with the gear 220 is released. While rotating, the tab 234 is spaced apart from the toothed portion 220, and while the user keeps pressing the button portion 244, the user can adjust the angle of the housing 201 to reduce the angle to a desired angle. And the rotational direction of the angle adjusting member are not limited to this embodiment, Figure 6 (c) is the angle between the terminal base 210 and the support 218. A side cross-sectional view showing a state in which the degree is adjusted to 40 ° is shown.When the user releases the button portion 244 after adjusting to the desired inclination angle, the compressed spring member 222 returns to its original shape and the angle adjustment member 216 While the tab 234 is engaged with the toothed portion 220, the pressing member 214 also returns to the state exposed behind the terminal base 210. On the other hand, the toothed portion 220 lowers the magnetic force of the tab 234. That is, since the teeth are formed in the direction and size to prevent the phenomenon that the inclination angle is reduced by itself, increasing the inclination angle is achieved by pulling the housing 201. As described above, the present invention is the terminal base 210 And the angle between the support 218 can be freely changed in 5 steps by 10 ° in a range of 40 ° to 80 ° according to the user's request.

Figure 7 is a side cross-sectional view using the terminal 200 for wall mounting according to an embodiment of the present invention. If wall mounting is required, the inclination angle is lowered until the housing 201 is brought into close contact with the support 218 according to the operating principle shown in FIG. 6, and then the tab 234 is the outermost part of the toothed portion 220. It is fixed to a stopper formed at the end. Meanwhile, the terminal 200 may be mounted on a wall by using fixing parts 238 and 238 'formed on the bottom surface of the support 3. The fixing parts 238 and 238 'may be implemented by various known techniques such as grooves formed on the bottom surface.
