DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an LCD for a telephone.
It relates to a tilt structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 5 and 6 show an LCD tilt structure (LC).
1 shows a conventional telephone equipped with a variable angle mechanism (D). The housing of the telephone includes a housing base 7 and a lid 3. The LCD unit 10 is provided on the upper side of the lid 3. The LCD unit 10 is rotatable around a shaft 11 provided on the lid 3, and can be raised from a flat state embedded in the lid 3.

On the back surface of the LCD unit 10, an inclination changing piece 2 having a plurality of saw-toothed irregularities 12 for changing the inclination angle of the LCD unit 10 is provided. The uneven portion 12 is
Z facing the back side of the housing and rotating about the shaft 13
One end of the stopper 14 of the mold enters one of the plurality of concave / convex portions 12 by the bias of the spring 15, and
The locking is performed in a state where the part 10 is inclined.

A tip 16 at the other end of the Z-shaped stopper 14
Project from the back of the housing to the outside, and
6, the tip of the stopper 14 is disengaged from the concave portion of the concave / convex portion 12 to release the locked state of the tilt of the LCD portion 10 and
The D section 10 can be rotated.

When the telephone having the above structure is placed on a floor or the like on a desk or the like, even if the LCD unit 10 is not raised, in order to tilt the LCD unit 10 side high, as shown in FIG. The base 9 is provided on the bottom surface of the housing base 7 on the LCD unit 10 side.

On the other hand, when the telephone is hung on a wall or the like, the thickness of the housing base 7 below the LCD unit 10 is large in the state of FIG. 5, so that the display surface of the LCD unit 10 faces obliquely downward. And the display becomes difficult to see. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
It was necessary to provide at the center of the bottom of the.

[0007]

Since the auxiliary base 9 is provided at the position shown in FIG. 5 and is provided at the position shown in FIG. 6, the shape of the bottom surface of the housing base at the mounting position is different.
It was necessary to prepare another member.

[0008] The present invention relates to the above-described conventional telephone LC.
It was made to solve the problems of the D-tilt structure, and its purpose was to prepare without special members,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an LCD tilt structure of a telephone capable of properly viewing the display contents of the LCD even when the telephone is placed on the floor or hung on a wall or the like.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The CD tilt structure includes a housing base of the telephone, a lid of the housing base, an LCD provided on the lid, which is rotatable about an axis and can be raised from the surface of the lid, and a back side of the LCD. And a tilt changing piece having a plurality of saw-toothed uneven portions for changing the tilt angle of the LCD; and any one of the plurality of uneven portions in the tilt changing piece moving parallel to the surface of the lid. A stopper that enters the recess. According to this configuration, since all the components for tilting the LCD are provided on the lid, the lid is rotated by 180 degrees to cover the housing base, and when the telephone is placed on the floor, it is also hung on a wall or the like. In this case, the display content of the LCD can be properly viewed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an LCD tilt structure of a telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each drawing, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the housing of the telephone comprises a housing base 7 and a lid 3. The LCD unit 10 is provided on the upper side of the lid 3. The LCD unit 10 is rotatable about a shaft 11 provided on the lid 3, and can be raised from a flat state so as to be embedded in the lid 3.

The rear surface member 1 of the LCD unit 10 is provided with an inclination changing piece 2 having a plurality of serrated irregularities 12 for changing the inclination angle of the LCD unit 10. The above uneven portion 1
2 faces the inside of the housing. A rib 22 is attached to a plate 21 constituting a part of the lid 3 provided on the back surface of the LCD unit 10 to stop the spring 8. The spring 8 urges the lock member 4 toward the inclination changing piece 2.

The lock member 4 has a concave portion 4A into which the inclination changing piece 2 is inserted, and a tapered claw portion 6 is formed at an end of the concave portion 4A on the spring 8 side. Further, a button 5 which is a convex portion is formed on the peripheral portion of the lock member 4 at a position facing the spring 8, and protrudes outside from a hole provided between the lid 3 and the housing base 7. It is configured as follows.

With the above configuration, the claw portion 6 of the lock member 4
Is urged by the spring 8 to enter any one of the concave and convex portions 12 provided on the inclination changing piece 2, and the LCD portion 10 is locked in an inclined or planar state.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, or FIG. 4, the housing base 7 has one side formed to be shallow, and the other corresponding side formed to be deep. When the telephone having the above configuration is placed on a floor or the like on a desk or the like, using the shape of the housing base 7 as described above, the cover 3 is attached to the housing base 7 as shown in FIG. LCD unit 10
Even when the display does not occur, the LCD unit 10 is tilted so as to be higher, and the display on the display surface of the LCD unit 10 can be appropriately viewed.

On the other hand, when the telephone is hung on a wall or the like, the lid 3 is rotated 180 degrees from the state shown in FIG. 3 so that the LCD unit 10 covers the shallow bottom of the housing base 7. And at the same time, press the button 5 to release the lock.
When the CD unit 10 is raised and the pressing of the button 5 is stopped at an appropriate position, the display on the display surface of the LCD unit 10 can be appropriately viewed as shown in FIG.

As described above, by simply rotating the lid 3 by 180 degrees in a plane, it can be changed to a floor-mounted type or a wall-mounted type, and a special member can be eliminated.

[0018]

As described above, the LCD tilt structure of the telephone according to the present invention comprises a housing base of the telephone, a cover of the housing base, and a cover provided on the cover, and the surface of the cover centering on an axis. LCD that can be turned up from
A tilt change piece provided with a plurality of saw-toothed uneven portions for changing the tilt angle of the LCD; and a plurality of uneven portions in the tilt change piece moving parallel to the surface of the lid. Since there is provided a stopper that enters one of the recesses, all the components for tilting the LCD are provided on the lid, and the lid is rotated 180 degrees to cover the housing base.
Even when the telephone is placed on the floor or on a wall, the contents displayed on the LCD can be properly viewed.
