Abstract
A portable radio apparatus includes a housing, a receiver unit, a transmitter unit, and a hinge member. The housing has a longitudinally elongated, thin, rectangular parallelepiped shape. The receiver unit is arranged on one surface side of an upper portion of the housing to be located inside the housing. The transmitter unit is arranged on the same surface side of a lower portion of the housing as that of the receiver unit to be located outside the housing. The hinge member pivotally supports an upper end portion of the transmitter unit with respect to the housing. When the transmitter unit is pivoted through a predetermined angle, a lower end portion of the transmitter unit is unfolded to form a mount gap between the lower end portion and the housing.
Claims18
A portable radio apparatus comprising:
- a housing having a longitudinally elongated, thin, rectangular parallelepiped shape;
- a receiver unit arranged on one side surface of an upper portion of said housing located inside said housing;
- a transmitter unit arranged on the same side surface of a lower portion of said housing as that of said receiver unit located outside said housing;
- and
- a hinge member for pivotally supporting an upper end portion of said transmitter unit with respect to said housing,
- wherein when said transmitter unit is pivoted up to a predetermined angle, a lower end portion of said transmitter unit is unfolded to form a mount gap between the lower end portion and said housing,
- wherein said hinge member has a predetermined frictional force for holding said transmitter unit still at a halfway position in a process of pivoting said transmitter unit, a pivot angle of said transmitter unit with respect to said housing is arbitrarily set by said hinge member having the predetermined frictional force,
- wherein said transmitter unit has a thick plate shape shape, and a stepped portion is formed on one side surface of said housing to store said transmitter unit such that one surface of said housing and a surface of said transmitter unit constitute the same plane.
A mount structure for a portable radio apparatus comprising:
- a portable radio apparatus including a housing having a longitudinally elongated, thin, rectangular parallelepiped shape;
- a receiver unit arranged on one side surface of an upper portion of said housing located inside said housing;
- a transmitter unit arranged on the same side surface of a lower portion of said housing as that of said receiver unit located outside said housing;
- a hinge member for pivotally supporting an upper end portion of said transmitter unit with respect to said housing;
- and
- a mount member supported on a fixing base, said mount member being fitted in a gap between a lower end portion of said transmitter unit and said housing, which is formed when said transmitter unit is pivoted through a predetermined angle, for allowing mounting of said portable radio apparatus on said mount member,
- wherein said hinge member has a predetermined frictional force for holding said transmitter unit still at a halfway position in a process of pivoting said transmitter unit, a pivot angle of said transmitter unit with respect to said housing is arbitrarily set by said hinge member having the predetermined frictional force,
- wherein said transmitter unit has a thick plate shape shape, and a stepped portion is formed on one side surface of said housing to store said transmitter unit such that one surface of said housing and a surface of said transmitter unit constitute the same plane.
A portable radio apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a receiver unit arranged on one side surface of an upper portion of said housing located inside said housing;
- a transmitter unit arranged on the same side surface of a lower portion of said housing as that of said receiver unit located outside said housing;
- and
- a hinge member for pivotally supporting an upper end portion of said transmitter unit with respect to said housing,
- wherein when said transmitter unit is pivoted to a predetermined angle, a lower end portion of said transmitter unit is unfolded to form a mount gap between the lower end portion and said housing,
- wherein said hinge member has a predetermined frictional force for holding said transmitter unit at a halfway position in a process of pivoting said transmitter unit, and a pivot angle of said transmitter unit with respect to said housing is arbitrarily set by said hinge member having the predetermined frictional force,
- wherein a stepped portion is formed on one side surface of said housing to store said transmitter unit such that one surface of said housing and a surface of said transmitter unit constitute the same plane.
