  In order to stop the sliding plate at a predetermined position, a PC plate integrally provided downward on the connector is protruded and attached to the lower side of the sliding plate, and the PC plate is attached to the USB connector provided on the side surface of the housing. A lead wire with less elasticity is connected between the PC board of the connector and the PC board of the USB connector with a margin in length.

An embodiment of a dock stand for portable electronic equipment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, the housing 38 includes a flat pedestal portion 39 and a backrest portion 40 which is inclined at an angle of about 15 from the substantially center of the pedestal portion 39 to the rear and curved inward. ing.
The pedestal portion 39 is formed with a substantially rectangular protruding window 47 in the same direction as the backrest portion 40 slightly in front of the backrest portion 40. A sliding plate 44 is provided so as to be able to advance and retract in the front-rear direction from below the pedestal portion 39 so as to face the protruding window 47. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the sliding plate 44 is formed in a flat plate shape having such a size that the inside of the pedestal portion 39 cannot be seen from the protruding window 47 even if the sliding plate 44 moves back and forth. The connector 43 is attached to the central portion 44 by a screw 52 inclined in the same direction as the backrest portion 40, and a PC plate 48 is attached to the lower portion of the connector 43 so as to protrude into the housing 38. .

On the lower surface of the pedestal portion 39, as shown in FIG. 2, two sliding protrusions 60 are provided on both sides of the protruding window 47 so as to slightly bulge in the sliding direction of the sliding plate 44, Further, projections 49 each having two screw holes are provided on both sides of the sliding protrusions 60.
Two sliding rails 50 are formed on the lower surfaces of both sides of the sliding plate 44 so as to extend in parallel in the front-rear direction perpendicular to the backrest portion 40. The sliding plate 44 is assembled so that the upper surface of the sliding plate 44 is in contact with the sliding protrusion 60. The rail groove 57 of the receiving plate 51 is fitted to the left and right sliding rails 50 of the sliding plate 44 on both sides of the sliding plate 44, and the receiving plate 51 is temporarily attached to the protruding portion 49 with a screw 53. By stopping, the sliding groove portion 56 of the sliding plate 44 is formed between the sliding protrusion 60 on the lower surface of the pedestal portion 39 and the receiving plate 51.
In this way, the sliding plate 44 on which the connector 43 is mounted can move in the front-rear direction within the range of the protruding window 47.

A USB connector 45 is attached to the rear portion of the housing 38, and a lead wire 54 with less elasticity is formed between the PC board 45 projecting inwardly of the USB connector 45 and the PC board 48 projecting below the connector 43. Thus, the connection is made with a margin in length while bending inside the housing 38.
The bottom plate portion 41 is fitted from the bottom in a state where the sliding plate 44 is supported by the receiving plates 51 on both sides and temporarily fixed by the temporary fixing screws 58. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the bottom plate portion 41 is integrally provided with a bottom plate projection 59 protruding inward so that the tip of the bottom plate projection 59 contacts the receiving plate 51 and the projection 49. Then, the bottom plate 41 is attached to the protrusion 49 with the screw 53. At this time, by adjusting the degree of tightening of the screw 53, the tip of the bottom plate projection 59 adjusts the degree of pressure contact of the contact portion between the receiving plate 51 made of synthetic resin and the projection 49, and the sliding plate 44 is a pedestal. There is no backlash between the sliding protrusion 60 of the portion 39 and the receiving plate 51, and adjustment is performed so that the sliding can be performed smoothly.
A weight (not shown) is attached inside the rear of the housing 38 for stability when the portable electronic device 16 is set as required.
A non-slip sheet 42 is attached to the bottom surface of the bottom plate portion 41 so as to cover the screws 53.

In the configuration as described above, the connector of the portable electronic device 16 is inserted into the connector 43 of the pedestal 39 while the connector 43 of the sliding plate 44 is moved as close as possible to the protruding window 47 (state of FIG. 3). Connecting. At this time, when the thickness of the portable electronic device 16 is thin, a gap is generated between the back surface of the portable electronic device 16 and the backrest portion 40, so that the portable electronic device 16 is in an unstable state. Is moved to the backrest portion 40 side while being inserted and connected to the connector 43. Since the slide rail 50 of the slide plate 44 is fitted in the groove of the receiving plate 51, the connector 43 moves while maintaining a substantially balanced state with the backrest portion 40. As shown in FIG. The moving plate 44 moves together with the connector 43, and the back surface of the portable electronic device 16 comes into contact with the backrest portion 40 and is stably set upright. The upper surface of the sliding plate 44 comes into contact with the sliding protrusion 60 of the pedestal portion 39, and the lower sliding rail 50 fits into the rail groove 57 of the receiving plate 51 and can move smoothly.
The PC board 45 of the USB connector 45 and the PC board 48 of the connector 43 are connected by a lead wire 54, but the lead wire 54 is bent or extended as the sliding plate 44 moves back and forth. However, the elasticity of the lead wire 54 is low, and the sliding plate 44 stops at the moved position because it is bent inside the housing 38 and has a sufficient length.

When the thickness of the portable electronic device 16 is thick, or as shown in FIG. 3, the cover 35 is covered on the portable electronic device 16, the connector 43 of the sliding plate 44 is moved as far as possible. In this state, the portable electronic device 16 is inserted and connected to the connector 43. At this time, even if the portable electronic device 16 is thick, if there is a gap between the back surface of the portable electronic device 16 and the backrest 40, the portable electronic device 16 is inserted into the connector 43. While being done, it is brought down and brought into close contact with the backrest 40 side. Then, the sliding plate 44 moves in the right direction together with the connector 43.
The sizes of the protruding window 47 and the sliding plate 44 are determined on the assumption that the portable electronic device 16 is thickest and thin.

  As described above, the portable electronic device 16 is set on the portable electronic device dock stand, and the portable electronic device 16 is reproduced or charged from the USB connector 45.

  In the above embodiment, the sliding rail 50 is formed on the sliding plate 44 and the rail groove 57 is formed on the receiving plate 51. Conversely, the rail groove 57 is formed on the sliding plate 44 and slides on the receiving plate 51. The rail 50 may be formed.
