DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(Embodiment 1)
1 and 2 are front views showing a folded portable communication device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0020]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, a flat main body case 1 and an upper case 2 are connected so as to be openable and closable via a connecting portion 3 as a hinge mechanism, and a key operation portion is connected to the inner surface of the main body case 1. 4 and a transmitter 8, an image display unit 5 and a receiver 7 are provided on the inner surface of the upper case 2, and a folding mobile phone in which a ring tone reproduction speaker 6 is arranged in the connecting part 3 as the hinge mechanism. Type communication device.
[0021]
The connecting part as the hinge mechanism at the end of the body case 1 is a fixed part 3c, the connecting part as the hinge mechanism at the end of the upper case 2 is a movable part 3b, and the fixed part 3c and the movable part 3b are connected by a shaft 3a. Has been.
[0022]
At the time of folding opening / closing operation, the connecting portion 3 as a hinge mechanism has the fixing portion 3c and the movable portion 3b rotated about the shaft 3a to perform the folding operation by opening and closing the main body case 1 and the upper case 2, thereby fixing the connecting portion 3 The speaker 6 disposed in the section 3c can be folded and used as a portable communication device while being always exposed.
[0023]
That is, in the ringtone folding disposed reproducing speaker 6 portable communication device on the fixed portion 3c of the connecting portion 3, when opening the upper case 2 as shown in FIG. 1, the speaker 6 is an image display unit 5 side Even when the upper case 2 is closed as shown in FIG. 2, the speaker 6 is exposed on the surface from the end of the main body case 1 . Thus, when the folding operation is performed by opening and closing the upper case 2, the end of the upper case 2 is fixed after passing through the front surface of the speaker 6, so that the end of the upper case 2 is always exposed without blocking the speaker 6. and it is one in which the operation of the folding by opening and closing of the upper case 2 the relationship no Ku renewable.
[0024]
(Embodiment 2)
3 and 4 are front views showing a folded portable communication device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0025]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the present embodiment is a folding portable communication device in which a ring tone reproduction speaker 6 is arranged on the movable portion 3 b of the connecting portion 3 at the end of the upper case 2. when opening the upper case 2 as, the speaker 6 is exposed to the image display section 5 side surface, the speaker 6 is upper case 2 end even when closed the upper case 2 as shown in FIG. 4 It is exposed on the part side surface.
[0026]
Thus, when the upper case 2 is moved and the folding is opened, the speaker 6 is also moved together with the movement of the connecting portion 3 at the end of the upper case 2, so that the speaker 6 is always exposed and the upper case 2 is casing 1 end by the operation of the folding by closing is constantly exposed without closing the speaker 6, and serves as a possible play.
[0027]
Further, by placing the ring tone reproduction speaker 6 on a surface perpendicular to the surface of the image display unit 5 of the movable portion 3b which is a connecting portion on the upper case 2 side, the upper case 2 can be opened or closed at any time. also play a ring tone from the speaker 6 arranged in the vertical direction of the surface relative to the image display unit 5, and the like, in which the relationship no Ku renewable for the operation of opening and closing of the upper case 2.
[0028]
(Embodiment 3)
5 and 6 are front views showing the folded portable communication device according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
[0029]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the present embodiment, the flat main body case 1 and the upper case 2 are connected so as to be openable and closable via a connecting portion 3 as a hinge mechanism, and a key operation portion is connected to the inner surface of the main body case 1. 4 and the transmitter 8 are arranged, and the image display unit 5 and the receiver 7 are arranged on the inner surface of the upper case 2, and the ring tone reproduction speaker 10 a is vacant inside the main body case 1 or the upper case 2. This is a folded portable communication device that is installed in a space and emits sound from the sound emitting unit 9 arranged in the connecting unit 3 as a hinge mechanism via a port 10b .
[0030]
The connecting portion as the hinge mechanism at the end of the main body case 1 is the fixed portion 3c, the connecting portion as the hinge mechanism at the end of the upper case 2 is the movable portion 3b, and the fixing portion of the connecting portion as the hinge mechanism is used during the folding operation. 3c and the movable part 3b rotate about the shaft 3a to perform a folding operation by opening and closing the main body case 1 and the upper case 2, and the sound emitting part 9 of the speaker disposed on the fixed part 3c of the connecting part 3 is always exposed. at are those that can be used as a folding portable communications device, in which a relationship no Ku renewable on the operation of the folding by opening and closing.
[0031]
That is, in the folding portable communication device in which the sound emission unit 9 of the ringtone reproduction speaker is arranged in the fixed part 3c of the connecting unit 3, when the upper case 2 is closed, the sound emission unit 9 of the speaker is the main body case 1. Even when the upper case 2 is opened, the sound emitting portion 9 of the speaker is exposed on the image display portion 5 side surface.
[0032]
When the folding operation is performed by opening and closing the upper case 2, the end of the upper case 2 is fixed after passing through the front surface of the sound emitting unit 9 of the speaker, so the end of the upper case 2 blocks the sound emitting unit 9 of the speaker. it is always exposed without, in which the relationship no Ku renewable on the operation of the folding by opening and closing of the upper case 2.
