Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a touch pen take-out structure for easily taking out a touch pen used in a palmtop computer having a touch panel from a storage unit.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Along with the recent trend toward smaller and lighter computers, palmtop type computers, which are said to be palm-sized, are becoming popular.

Among them, a palmtop type computer having a touch panel has a structure in which a pen is connected to a case by a cord and is taken out from a storage portion by hand. There is also a pen that is housed inside a case and is pushed out by the force of a spring by pressing a button.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the former structure, the pen cannot be quickly taken out when inputting into the computer, and in the latter structure, the thickness of the case of the computer is increased, and in order to maintain its thinness. Had to make the pen thinner and smaller. To be a pen that is easy to hold, it must have a certain thickness and length.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. While keeping the thin case of the palmtop type computer, which is the original feature of the palmtop type computer, it is possible to easily store a touch pen of a size that is easy to hold and to take it out with one touch. It provides a structure for taking out a touch pen.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and in a case having a touch panel, the size of the storage part is such that the touch pen can be loosely fitted, and the size of the take-out opening part is the length of the touch pen. In a touch-pen take-out structure of a palmtop computer provided with a touch pen storage section having a recess at the end, which is slightly shorter than the above, a pen holder that slides the storage section end in the length direction, and the pen holder A locking claw that is in motion, a locking part that locks the locking claw, a support shaft for rotating the storage part in the touch pen removal direction, and a support claw and the support shaft. When the touch pen is inserted into the storage part and pushed into the opening part, it is pushed by the outer peripheral surface of the touch pen and is temporarily pushed. At the same time when the touch pen is retracted and stored in the storage portion, the locking claw is pressed by the locking part, and when the pen holder is slid, the locking claw is disengaged from the locking part. Provided is a touch pen take-out structure for a palmtop computer in which the pen holder is pushed up by the urging force of an elastic member.

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of a palmtop computer using a touch pen take-out structure according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a palm top computer showing a state where a pen is taken out by the touch pen take-out structure according to the present invention. FIG. 3 to FIG. 7 are views showing a structure for taking out the touch pen according to the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a view showing a structure of a locking claw of a pen holder. In FIG. 1, a touch panel 8 is arranged at a substantially central portion of a thin case 1, and a touch pen storage portion 9 is provided next to the touch panel 8. The K / B leaf 11 connected by the binder 10 is provided, the CPU constituting the main body is housed in the thin case 1, and the key data input from the K / B leaf 11 passes through the binder 10. Sent to the main body. When the pen holder 7 of the touch pen storage portion 9 shown in FIG. 1 is pulled downward, the touch pen storage portion 9 in which the touch pen 2 is stored tilts toward you as shown in FIG. Can be easily taken out.

In the touch pen storage portion 9 of FIGS. 3 to 7, FIG. 3 is a view in which the touch pen 2 is stored, and FIG. 4 is a view in which the touch pen 2 is moved in the same manner by moving the pen holder 7 downward. FIG. 6 is a view showing that the touch pen 2 is detached from the case 1, FIG. 5 is a view showing that the touch pen 2 is detached from the case 1 and is inclined toward the front of the case 1, and FIG. 6 is a view showing that the touch pen 2 is pushed and stored in the touch pen storage portion 9. 7 is a view in which the touch pen 2 is stored in the touch pen storage portion 9. FIG.

When the pen holder 7 in which the touch pen 2 is stored is moved downward, the touch pen storage portion 9 in FIGS. 3 to 7 keeps the locking claw 4 interlocking with the pen holder 7 and the pen holder 7 at all times. It is composed of a spring 6 that applies a force in the take-out direction and a support shaft 5 that supports the spring 6, and FIGS. 8A to 8E show the locking claw 4 and the locking claw 4. FIGS. 8A and 8B are diagrams when locked and released by the locking portion 12, where the state of FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. 8A, the state of FIG. 4 is shown in FIG. 8B, and the state of FIG. 8 (c), the state of FIG. 6 corresponds to FIG. 8 (d), and the state of FIG. 7 corresponds to FIG. 8 (e). The operation will be described based on FIGS. 3 to 8. FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the touch pen 2 is stored in the pen holder 7. At this time, the locking claw 4 is locked by the locking portion 12 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, when the pen holder 7 is moved downward to take out the touch pen 2, the touch pen 2 is separated from the case 1, and the locking claw 4 is engaged as shown in FIG. When the pen holder 7 is disengaged from the stopper 12, the engaging portion 12 of the pen holder 7 starts moving upward. FIG. 5 shows the state in which the pen holder 7 has been moved upward, and as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the locking claw 4 is brought into contact with the substantially triangular notch of the locking portion 12 and Lifting 7 upwards. FIG. 6 is a diagram when the pen holder 7 is housed in the touch pen housing section 9 while pushing down the pen holder 7 from above. As shown in FIG. 7 shows a state in which the pen holder 7 is removed from the substantially triangular notch portion, and FIG. 7 shows a state in which the pen holder 7 is stored in the touch pen storage portion 9 as shown in FIG.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the case having the touch panel, the size of the storage part is such that the touch pen can be loosely fitted, and the size of the take-out opening part is smaller than the length of the touch pen. In a touch-pen take-out structure of a palmtop computer in which a touch pen storage portion having a recessed portion at the end is provided in the end, a pen holder that slides the storage portion end in the length direction, and a locking claw that interlocks with the pen holder. A locking part that is locked to the locking claw, a support shaft for rotating the storage part in the touch pen removal direction, and a touch pen removal direction that is locked by the locking claw and the support shaft. Since it is composed of the elastic member biased to, the following effects are obtained.

(1) Since the pen holder take-out direction and the locked direction are orthogonal to each other, the pen holder is strong against an impact.

(2) When the pen holder is taken out, the pen holder is slid downward with a finger, and when the finger is released, the touch pen is brought into a position where it can be easily taken out together with the pen holder due to the spring. (3) When storing the touch pen, you only have to insert the touch pen into the pen holder and push the upper part, so the operation is easy.
