, a telephone line terminal (47) is provided. Kirani,
A light receiving section (42') is provided at the lower right of the input display section (1) to receive a wireless signal from a remote control keyboard when the keyboard is mounted on a wall.

Here, the rotation mechanism (50) will be explained with reference to FIG. 10.

The leg (34) is composed of the leg main body (60) and the engaging part (61) (6
2), the leg body (60) and the locking part (61) (
62) moves integrally, and the shaft 63) is composed of a shaft body (64) and heads (65) and (66).

The head (65) is fixed to the device body (20) via a spacer (67), and the shaft (63) is fixed to the device body (20).
It cannot be rotated against. In addition, the head (66) has legs (
34), and the shaft body (64) is rotatably inserted into the locking portion (61).

A coil spring (68), one end of which is free and the other end fixed to the locking portion (61), is wound around the shaft body (64) and the head (66). The coil spring (68) applies a locking force to the locking portion (61), that is, the leg portion (34),
Rotation of the legs (34) is prevented.

Due to the structure that refuses, the legs may be damaged under loads below a certain range (34)
does not rotate, but if a greater load (load in the same direction as the winding direction) is applied to the leg (34), the fill spring (68)
The diameter of the coil shrinks, and the shaft body (
64) and the head (66) are brought into firm pressure contact, thereby stopping the rotation of the legs (34) and locking.

Therefore, the legs (34) are stopped at a constant angle with respect to the device body (20), and when the load in the same direction is further increased, this load force is absorbed by the fill spring (68), which is attached to the shaft body (20).
64) and the head (66), the legs (34) rotate in the direction of the load.

In addition, the rotation range β of the rotation 1JJ mechanism (50) is set while the top surface of the handset (16) changes from a substantially vertical direction to a substantially horizontal direction (see Fig. 4). When the set (16) is placed on a desk and used, the set (16) can be prevented from falling.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the handset (16) is hung on the protrusion (90) of the hook hook (91) integrally molded with the housing (2) of the input display section <1. In order to improve the operability of the handset (16), that is, to increase the ease of attaching and detaching the handset (16), the protrusion (
90), but even if the convex part (90) is removed, by setting the rotation range of the input display part (1) to the above β, the handset (16) can be prevented from falling.

The holding force of the rotation mechanism as described above will be explained below assuming that it is destroyed by the operating force of F2 and requires a holding force that resists the operating force of Fl at the position B in FIG.

Now input the operating force of Fl at any position (p
, 2), the moment at each position of A and B is M^F122 Me-F+I! 2 +GI! +, and at the same operating force, M^<Me.

From the above, as the input display section (1), at least Flff
A holding force K corresponding to a moment of 1z+Gpl is required, and K>F
The relationship l lz +Gl+ is required.

In addition, this input display section (1) can be displayed at any position (1!5)
Since it must not be destroyed by the operating force of F2 exerted by F2, the relationship K<Fzf3 is required at position A.

In other words, the relationship Fl, +G, 1<K<F2 is required. However, 22 is the distance between the fulcrum and the top end of the input display section (1), and l is the distance between the fulcrum and the bottom end of the input display section (1).

Furthermore, when a multi-function terminal device is used on a desk, the position of the input display section (1) is generally as shown in FIG. 5
The fulcrum point 0) needs to be located approximately at the center of the device body (20).

For example, if the fulcrum is located at position (a) in FIG.
Whenever an operator touches the input display section (1) or a force in the direction of arrow KGc is applied due to some factor, the entire device moves in the direction of arrow md, and the fulcrum moves to position 1 (b).
), if a force in the direction of arrow C is applied to the input display section <1) for some reason, the entire device will move in the direction of arrow R, and in the worst case, there is a risk that the device will be damaged. .

Therefore, the fulcrum is provided approximately at the center of the device body (20) so as to have a certain degree of tolerance against forces in either direction of arrows c and e.

Next, a case where the multi-function terminal device of this embodiment is used by hanging it on a wall will be described.

When using the multi-function terminal device by hanging it on a wall, the position of the input display section (1) is as shown in FIG. In the wall-mounted state, it is desirable that the angle deviation of the input display section (1) shown in FIG. 3 is 0 degrees or more.

For example, the angle tlf! : If the angle is 0 degrees or less, the input display section (1) will face toward the floor, and the operator will have to look at or touch the display input section (1) as if looking down from below. In order to ensure that the upper surface of the housing (2) of the input display unit (1) (the side where the touch panel (5) is not exposed) is lower than the fulcrum of the rotation mechanism (50) (the side where the device body (20) (on the back side).

Therefore, in order to satisfy the above conditions, the input display section (1
) comes into contact with the top surface (
52) is located below the fulcrum.

By adopting the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) A space (51) is created due to the presence of the legs (34),
The top or front surface of the device body (20) is not occupied by the input display section (1), that is, the multifunction terminal K
The document insertion slot (23) and recording paper output slot (23) are essential for
2) Connect 'J4 to the device body (2) corresponding to the space (51).
0) It can be provided on the top surface or the front surface of the device main body (20), allowing for miniaturization of the device.

(i) The rotation mechanism (50) allows the LCD (7) to be easily viewed and easily accessible from the touch panel (5) no matter what posture the operator operates in or where the multi-function terminal device is installed. The angle of the input display section (1) can be changed to facilitate input.

(i) The mounting angle of the handset (16) can be set arbitrarily, and the rotation range of the input display section (1) can be set while the top surface of the handset (16) changes from approximately vertical to approximately horizontal. This prevents the handset (16) from falling when placed on a desk or the like.

(i) Since the fulcrum is provided approximately at the center of the device main body (20), the force tolerance until the multi-function terminal device moves can be made the same in both the arrow C direction and the arrow d direction.

(V) When the input display unit (1) is turned upside down, the top surface (52) of the device body (20) that comes into contact with it is located below the fulcrum, so the multi-function terminal device cannot be used by hanging it on a wall, etc. In this case, the angle of the input display section (1) can be set appropriately.

Next, the recording paper discharge port (22) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 6(a) and 7(b) and FIG. 7(a).

A switching attachment (switching means) (80) is provided at the recording paper outlet (22). This V-shaped switching attachment (80) has a plurality of protrusions (83) (8
3)... is provided. This protrusion (83) (83
)... in either the hole (84>(84)... or the hole (85) (85) formed in the part (82)) formed in the part (81) of the casing (21) By fitting, the switching attachment can be fixed to the device main body 20>.

For example, if it is connected to the part (81) of the recording paper ejection port (22), the ejected recording paper will be ejected in the direction of arrow g (see FIGS. 6(a) and 7(a)), and the recording paper will be ejected. When connected to the part (82) of the paper outlet (22), the recording paper that has been completely ejected can be ejected in the direction of the arrow mark (see Fig. 7).
Refer to b). Therefore, the paper ejection direction can be switched between when the multifunctional terminal device of this embodiment is used by placing it on a desk and when it is used by hanging it on a wall.

In other words, when using the recording paper on a desk, the operator can see the printing surface of the recording paper by ejecting it in the direction of the arrow g, and it is also possible to hang it on the wall. In such cases, folding of the recording paper can be prevented by discharging the recording paper in the direction of the arrow.
