Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to the structure of a dual-purpose telephone that can be used in two ways: desktop and wall-mounted.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, wall telephones and desk telephones have been constructed separately, and wall telephones have been fixedly coupled to a wall bracket.

In a typical wall-mounted telephone, a wall-mounted bracket 2 is fixed to a wall 1, and a telephone 3 is fixedly attached to the wall-mounted bracket 2, as shown in the sectional view of FIG. Handset 4
The receiver is provided with a recess that fits the hook 5 provided on the main body of the telephone 3 to prevent it from falling off from the main body of the telephone 3.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

As mentioned above, wall-mounted telephones are fixed to the wall-mounted bracket and cannot be removed at will.
Furthermore, the telephone has a special hook mechanism, making it difficult to use as a desktop type. At present, there are no desk-top/wall-mounted telephones that can be used either in a fixed wall-mounted position by the telephone user, or by removing the telephone and easily moving it to any position in the room.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a dual-purpose telephone that can be used as a normal desktop type telephone and can be optionally fixed to a wall hook.

[Means for solving problems]

The telephone of the present invention has a structure in which an opening is provided at approximately the center of the handset holder of the telephone main body and penetrates to the bottom surface, and a magnetic member is provided on the handset at a position corresponding to the opening. It can be used as a desk phone as it is, or when used as a wall hanging bracket, it has an outer shape that fits into the opening except for the elastic protrusion provided on the side, and a permanent magnet is installed inside. This is accomplished by inserting the telephone body into the bracket with the openings aligned and holding the telephone by an elastic fit.

[Effect]

When used on a wall, the wall bracket is held in place by an elastic fit in the opening of the phone body.
If you want to use it on a table, you can easily remove it by pulling the phone body forward from the wall because it is an elastic fit. In this way, the telephone can be attached to and detached from the wall bracket. Furthermore, when used on a wall, the magnetic member inside the handset is magnetized by a permanent magnet in the wall bracket, and the magnetic force prevents the handset from falling off.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A thin telephone will be described below as an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows telephone 1
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the wall hanging bracket 20. FIG.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the handset 14 is removed, and an opening 13 is provided approximately in the center of the handset holder 12 of the telephone main body 11. The opening 13 reaches the bottom of the telephone main body 11 and is a through hole. 15 is a dial button. Above handset 1
A magnetic member 14A (plate-shaped in the figure) is disposed inside 4 at the position shown in the figure. This position is the handset 14
This is the position corresponding to the opening 13 when placed on the handset holder 12. The wall hanging bracket 20 in FIG. 2 has a width M and a length L matching the opening 13, and has an elastic protrusion 21 on the side surface. A permanent magnet 23 is housed inside the magnet 23 in contact with the top side of the inner wall. The entire body is fixed by tightening screws at specific positions on the wall through the screw holes 22. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the telephone 10 inserted and fixed into a wall bracket 20 fixed to a wall.
When the handset 14 is placed on the handset holder 12 and pushed into the position where the opening 13 is aligned with the wall bracket 20, the elastic projections 21 are pressed and inserted into a fitted state. Height of wall bracket 20 N
is designed so that the base foot 17 of the telephone main body 11 just reaches the wall in the fitted state, so in this fitted state, the telephone main body 11 is firmly held by the wall bracket 20, and the handset 1
4 prevents the internal magnetic member 14A from being attracted by the permanent magnet 23 and coming off the handset holder 12.

The above description is for wall-hanging use, but when using it for tabletop use, it can be easily removed by pulling out the phone main body 11 by hand at right angles to the wall.

Since the telephone set 10 is a completely ordinary desk-top telephone and does not have a hook mechanism like a wall-mounted telephone, no particular care is required in operating the handset 14. Furthermore, by inserting the fingers of one hand into the opening 13 and enclosing the peripheral edge 12A of the opening 13 with the fingers, there is an advantage that the telephone 10 can be moved with only the fingertips of one hand.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above in detail, an opening is provided in the center of the handset cradle of the phone body that penetrates all the way to the bottom, and the wall bracket installed on the wall is shaped to fit exactly around the periphery of the opening. By providing an elastic protrusion on the wall bracket, the telephone can be easily attached to and detached from the wall bracket. Further, the permanent magnet housed inside the wall bracket and the magnetic member provided on the handset and receiver hold the handset so that it does not come off when hung on the wall. Therefore, there is no need for a special hook mechanism like a dedicated wall-mounted telephone, and there is no difference in operation from a normal desk phone. Furthermore, when used on a tabletop, it is extremely convenient to move the phone by inserting a finger into the opening, and can be moved with one hand. in this way,
Since it can be easily attached/detached and moved as a wall-mounted or desk-top telephone, the scope of use of the telephone in the room can be expanded.

Note that the magnetic member provided on the handset may be provided externally, or a board on which the handset/receiver is mounted inside may be used.
