Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

0010 FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a telephone, which is an example of the communication device of the present invention.

[0011] In FIG. 1, the telephone is comprised of a handset section 1 and a telephone main body 2. As shown in FIG. electric The handset body 2 further includes a dial key section 3 and a dial key section 3, which is used for one-touch dialing, etc. It consists of a function key section 4.

0012 A plurality of function keys 5 are arranged in the function key section 4. Beside each machine, there is a display window 6 as a through hole that displays the function name of each function key 5. The opening corresponds to the function key 5, and the lower part of each display window 6 is a space. telephone book Three stages of display windows 6 are integrated into a portion of the side wall of the body 2 corresponding to the side of each display window 6. Two sheet insertion openings 7 are formed in the side wall, and each sheet insertion opening 7 is formed in the side wall. A sheet 8 as an elastic display object can be inserted into the space from the entrance 7. It has become.

[0013] The sheet 8 is made by integrating three stages of the display window 6, and as shown in FIG. When the sheet 8 is inserted into the space from the sheet insertion slot 7, each display window 6 Function names and the like are written on the display section 8a located below. Also, the sheet At one end of the sheet 8 on the opposite side from the display section 8a, the sheet 8 can be inserted into the space or the front. A gripping margin 8b is formed for gripping when pulling out from the storage space. At the same time, a small hole 8c is formed in which a retaining protrusion to be described later engages.

[0014] Next, the function key section 4 will be explained in detail.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, under the upper case 9 as a housing for the function key section 4 (see FIG. 1). A transparent member 10 having a convex portion 10a formed corresponding to each display window 6 on the surface, Each convex portion 10a is fitted into each display window 6 so as to be in close contact with each other. Furthermore, the transparent member 10 At the bottom, a sheet guide 11 as a guide member is connected to the upper case 9 by welding or the like. The sheet guide 11 also supports the transparent member 10.

[0016] A predetermined portion on the upper surface of the sheet guide 11 is provided with a guide for inserting the sheet 8. An upright surface 11a is formed along the insertion direction of the sheet 8, and the transparent member 10 and the sheet A space having a height equal to the height of the standing surface 11a is provided between the seat guide 11 and the seat guide 11. It is formed. A recess 9b is formed in the side wall of the upper case 9. The opening formed with the top surface of the sheet guide 11 serves as the sheet insertion slot 7 (see Figure 1). Ru.

[0017] Then, the function key 5 is pressed to the sheet guide 11 from below the sheet guide 11. The sheet guide 11, the transparent member 10, and the upper case 9 are inserted through holes formed therein. It is attached.

[0018] In this way, by configuring the sheet 8 to be inserted from the side of the housing, the sheet 8 can be inserted from the side of the housing. 8 can be easily attached and detached by simply sliding the seat 8 to the side. .

[0019] On the upper surface of the sheet guide 11, the area where the display section 8a of the sheet 8 is located is A plurality of protrusions 11b are provided at intervals. The height of each protrusion 11b is transparent. The transparent member 10 is lower than the height of the space formed by the member 10 and the sheet guide 11. The height is such that the sheet 8 can be inserted between the tip of the projection 11b and the tip of the projection 11b. For this reason , when the sheet 8 is inserted into the space, the display section 8a of the sheet 8 is displayed on each protrusion 11b. Since it is placed at the tip and close to the transparent member 10, the display section 8a cannot be visually recognized. In addition, the height of the space can be made uniform by using the transparent member 10 and the protrusion 1 described above. Each protrusion 11b has a point on the sheet 8 compared to the case where the gap with the tip of the protrusion 1b is the same. Because of the contact, the frictional resistance of the sheet 8 is reduced, making it easier to insert and pull the sheet 8. Cutting out becomes easier. Here, the shape of the tip of each protrusion 11b is the tip of the sheet 8. When the end and the protrusion 11b come into contact, the sheet 8 can easily escape above the protrusion 11b. It is desirable to have a hemispherical shape in order to

[0020] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the operator actually looks at the display window 6, the operator's visual Point F is usually not directly above the display window 6 but on the front side (in the direction of the arrow in the figure). this Therefore, if the display part 8a of the seat 8 is located directly below the display window 6, the upper case 9 If the thickness of the display part 8a is thick, the display part 8a may be hidden by the upper case 9 and cannot be seen. Jiru. Therefore, the positional relationship between the display section 8a of the sheet 8 and the display window 6 is such that the display section 8a is It is inserted at a position offset from the position directly below the display window 6 by a distance C in the direction opposite to the front side. be guided to This distance C depends on the thickness of the upper case 9 and the function key part 4 ( The angle of inclination (see FIG. 1) is set to the optimum value.

[0021] Next, the configuration near the sheet insertion opening will be described in detail.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 4, near the sheet insertion slot 7 on the bottom surface of the upper case 9, there is a A retaining protrusion 9a is formed, and the retaining protrusion 9a prevents the sheet 8 from being inserted. When completely inserted into the entrance 7, it fits into the small hole 8c formed in the sheet 8, This prevents the sheet 8 from being accidentally removed from the sheet insertion opening 7. No slip-off The height of the projection 9a is such that it does not interfere with the insertion of the sheet 8 and that it fits securely into the small hole 8c. It is desirable that the height is such that it fits.

[0023] In addition, the sheet 8 can be inserted into the end of the sheet guide 11 on the sheet insertion slot 7 side. In order to make it easier and to protect the gripping margin 8b of the sheet 8 from impact etc., The insertion guide 1 extends laterally except for the portion corresponding to the gripping margin 8b of the sheet 8. 1c is provided protrudingly. The protrusion amount E of the insertion guide 11c is the gripping margin 8 of the sheet 8. It is larger than the protrusion amount D of b, and the upper surface of the insertion guide 11c and the sheet The upper surface of the guide 11 is on a plane.

[0024] When inserting the sheet 8 into the function key section 4 configured as described above, the sheet insertion Align the display section 8a of the entrance 7 and the sheet 8, and insert the display section 8a into the insertion guide. Insert it while placing it on 11c. As sheet 8 is inserted, sheet 8a is lifted and inserted toward the transparent member 10 side by the protrusion 11b, and the sheet 8 is completed. When fully inserted, the small hole 8c will automatically come out because the sheet 8 has elasticity. It fits into the stop projection 9a and prevents the sheet 8 from coming off.

[0025] On the other hand, when pulling out the sheet 8, push the sheet 8 downward to prevent it from coming out. The female protrusion 9a comes off from the small hole 8c and can be easily pulled out as is.

[0026] In the embodiment described above, the shape of the sheet 8 is such that three stages of display windows are integrated. However, it is not limited to this, but it can be any number of stages as necessary. be able to.
