Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a data input/output device for a CRT device with a keyboard, such as an office computer (office computer) or a personal computer (personal computer), which is widely used as an input/output device in information processing equipment.

Conventionally, the data input/output device of this type of CRT device with a keyboard has been constructed such that the housing of the keyboard section 1 and the display section of the CRT or other device 2 are integrated as shown in Fig. 1, or as shown in Fig. 2. It was standard for the keyboard section 1 and the CRT device 2 of the display section to be separated and connected by a cable such as a curl cord. Therefore, as shown in the side view of FIG. 1, a dedicated desk 3 is required, and the space on a normally used desk is taken up by the keyboard and CRT device. In recent years, office automation (OA) has been called for increasing production efficiency in administrative departments, particularly in the rationalization of production departments, but the area occupied by information input/output devices is becoming an important issue for floor planning in administrative departments. Furthermore, the question of whether the device can be made smaller has become a big problem.

The present invention has been developed by focusing on the above-mentioned conventional situation, and therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to create a new data input/output device that makes it possible to significantly reduce the mounting space of a CRT device with a keyboard device. The purpose is to donate money.

In order to achieve the above object, the data input/output device according to the present invention is an information processing input/output device equipped with a keyboard device and a CRT display device, in which a groove is formed in the longitudinal direction, and a groove is formed along the groove. a metal fitting for removably connecting the keyboard device and CRT display device, the metal fitting having a plurality of fixing holes communicating with the plurality of fixing holes, one end of which slides along the groove of the metal fitting; a connecting rod that is latched and fixed to one of the fixing holes and whose other end is rotatably connected to the keyboard device;
The keyboard device is fixed to the CRT display device at an arbitrary angle by selectively locking one end of the connecting rod with any one of the plurality of fixing holes.

That is, in the present invention, the keyboard device has a structure that can be fixed as a lid on the front surface of the CRT device in the display section when not in use, and can also be removed. During normal use, the lid is unlocked and the angle of the keyboard surface can be adjusted in stages using the connection fittings and connecting rods at both ends of the CRT device in the display section and the keyboard, so that the inclination angle of the keyboard surface can be fixed at any desired angle. The features of the present invention are that the mounting space for the device can be reduced to approximately half, and the inclination angle of the keyboard surface can be set to any angle that is convenient for the operator.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the keyboard device according to the present invention in an open and fixed state, Figure 4 is a side view showing the keyboard device in close contact with the screen of a CRT display and not in use, and Figure 5 is a connection. It is a figure which shows one Example of a metal fitting.

In FIG. 3, the keyboard device 1 is shown in a state in which it is used for data input, and is shown in a state where it is fixed to the CRT display device 2 by a connecting fitting 5 and a connecting rod 6 at an angle that is easy to operate. Furthermore, by changing the position of the fixing hole 8 inside the connecting fitting 5, it is possible to arbitrarily change the angle of inclination of the surface of the keyboard device 1.

In FIG. 4, the sliding groove 7 inside the connecting fitting 5 is
A state in which the keyboard device 1 is fixed to the display section of the CRT display device 2 by moving the connecting rod 6 along the arrow is shown. By adopting the state shown in FIG. 4 according to the present invention, the keyboard device 1
It can also be used as a lid when not in use, further reducing mounting space.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the internal structure of the connecting fitting 5, in which the sliding groove 7 is provided with two or more fixing holes 8, and one of the main fixing holes 8 is connected to the tip of the connecting rod 6. The keyboard device 1 can be fixed in any position by being engaged with the keyboard device 1.

Furthermore, by removing the connecting fittings 5, the keyboard device 1 can be used separately from the CRT display device 2.

This invention integrates the keyboard device and CRT display device by using connecting fittings, etc. When not in use, the keyboard device doubles as a lid, and when in use, the keyboard surface can be tilted to any angle that is easy to operate. It has great characteristics.

Incidentally, the internal shape of the connecting fitting is shown as one embodiment only, and it goes without saying that any shape or structure can be adopted in terms of design.

As explained above, the present invention has sliding arms at both ends of the keyboard device and the CRT device of the display section,
By adopting a configuration in which an arbitrary keyboard surface inclination angle can be set, it is possible to reduce the mounting space. Therefore, there is no need for a dedicated desk for the device, and an ordinary office desk can be used.

Even if the device employing the present invention is installed on a normal office desk, the installation space is halved, so normal office work can be carried out, and the device only needs to be opened and set up when in use.

Furthermore, since the inclination angle of the keyboard surface can be set arbitrarily, data can be entered at an angle that is convenient for the operator.
