Description

Regula-Werk King & Bauser GmbH, 7263 Bad Liebenzeil dictation machine - computer - combination

The invention relates to a dictation machine-computer combination in which a cassette recorder and a pocket calculator are housed in a common housing.

Such devices are commercially available, but only as table-top devices in the size of a conventional cassette recorder using commercially available standard cassettes.

The object of the invention is to provide such a device combination to develop further that all necessary components and operating parts are combined in a small space, so that such a device can be stored in the wallet if necessary.

The invention solves this problem in that the components of both components (Cassette device, computer) are housed in two half-shells and that the two half-shells have the same width and length and can be connected to one another in such a way that a closed housing is formed.

Through this half-shell construction it can be achieved that when used of so-called mini-cassettes, the entire device combination only has credit card format, a further reduction appears hardly possible anymore.

The half-shell concept also offers easy access to the Inside the device, especially for changing the cassette or

Battery. In addition, the half-shell structure enables a two-part guide Arrangement of the structural components or operating components, these can be arranged in their positioning so that a half-shell possibly protruding parts in a corresponding cavity of the other half-shell protrude so that there is a tight packing of the structural components in the housing.

Further exemplary embodiments can be found in the subclaims.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention will now be based on drawings explained in more detail. Show it:

Combination,

Fig. 2 is a side view and

3 shows a view from below of the device according to the invention.

The figures show the device in its original size, i.e. on a scale of 1: 1. In the exemplary embodiment, the two housing half-shells 10 and 11 are with regard to their external shape, in particular their depth, executed identically. It is of course also possible to have different construction depths join together.

The upper half-shell 10 essentially serves to operate the device combination and for this purpose has a field of control keys 18 for operating the computer and openings for a loudspeaker 14 and a microphone 13.

In addition, a display field 15 is provided, which with appropriate wiring can be used with the tape recorder drive at the same time as the tape length display.

Another control element 17 is located on the side of the lower one Half-shell 11. This control element is essentially intended to control the drive functions of the cassette recorder. Through

This control element could be designed as a more complex electronic circuit also integrate into the keypad of the control buttons 18.

The two half-shells 10 and 11 are on their front side over a

Hinge 12 connected to one another like a case. By opening the housing all components are thus easily accessible, in particular the cassette and the battery can be easily replaced.

To check the cassette recorder and, if necessary, to estimate the available A viewing window 16 is provided in the lower half-shell 11 in a manner known per se.

It should be noted that the position shown of the operating elements and in particular the loudspeaker 14 and the microphone 13, of course, on the arrangement of the components within the two Half-shells can depend. Inevitably, the placement of the controls must due to the compactness of the combination according to the invention special consideration for the accommodation of the structural components in the take both half-shells, for example, on the relative assignment of the cassette with the drive and the battery as well as the motor and the Tonbzw. Erase head. A placement in which the mini-cassette is attached under the viewing window 16 has proven to be particularly advantageous and the battery (commercially available 9 volt battery) on the hinge plate term front edge is parallel to the hinge 12. Then there is sufficient leeway for the motor in the area of the control switch 17 Sound head, the erase head and the loudspeaker 14.
