DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a stand for mounting a portable communication device such as S or a pager on a desk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, portable communication devices such as portable telephones, PHSs, and pagers have been widely used. Also,
Recently, the usable time has been extended due to the advancement of a battery built in a portable communication device, and it is often necessary to attach the battery to a charger and charge it once a day, or once every few days. . Therefore, the time for charging is reduced, and the time for carrying a portable communication device is increasing. However, an increasing number of people are always avoiding carrying them close to their bodies in pockets or the like in consideration of the influence of electromagnetic waves or the like. Along with this, the time for keeping the portable communication device on the desk is increasing.

On the other hand, the number of portable communication devices that display the date and time on a display even when they are not used for telephones or the like has been increasing rapidly. In addition, a type having a mail function capable of transmitting and receiving characters has appeared. Therefore, when the portable communication device is placed on a desk, if such a display can be oriented in the direction of yourself, the date and time displayed on the display can be confirmed, or the contents of the mail can be viewed. Is convenient.

However, conventionally, there has been no stand for standing such a portable communication device on a desk. Therefore, if the mobile communication device stands alone, it can be stood on the desk as it is, but when the desk shakes or the arm is caught when working on the desk, the mobile communication device is knocked down. There is an inconvenience. In this case, the portable communication device may be damaged by an impact when the portable communication device falls down.

[0005] In some cases, a charger attached to a portable communication device also serves as a stand. However, in this case, the battery is always charged, or charging and discharging are frequently repeated. If the battery is constantly charged, unnecessary power is consumed. In addition, when charging and discharging are frequently repeated, the usable time of the battery may be reduced due to a so-called battery effect, or the life of the battery itself may be shortened.

[0006] On the other hand, if the main body alone cannot stand on a desk, it must be placed with the main body down. In particular, in the case of a thin pager, it cannot be set up using only the main body. However, when the main unit is tilted down, it is not possible to read the display such as the date displayed on the display of the mobile communication device, so it is necessary to suspend work on the desk to look at the display and raise the main unit to view the display. There was an inconvenience that it had to be done.

Further, in the case of a mobile phone having a thin shape, it is conceivable to use a conventional pen stand. However, the liquid crystal display unit is hidden or the stand should be originally set on the pen stand. There was a disadvantage that writing instruments and the like could not be set up.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to improve a stand for holding a portable communication device.

In addition, above the bottom holding member,
It is preferable to provide a locking member that protrudes from the front surface of the back holding member and locks the front and side surfaces of the portable communication device.
According to this, even if the mobile communication device stands on the mobile communication device stand of the present invention and the mobile communication device is likely to fall forward or sideways, the mobile communication device can be held by the locking member. Since the mobile communication device is locked, the portable communication device is less likely to fall.

It is preferable that the locking member is formed of two members, and each member is formed so as to be movable in the left-right direction. According to this, the position of the locking member can be adjusted in accordance with the width of the portable communication device, so that the portable communication device can be held more stably.

Preferably, the back holding member is a pen stand. Usually, a pen stand or the like is placed on the desk, but if the portable communication device stand of the present invention in which the back holding member is a pen stand is replaced with a conventional pen stand and placed on the desk, the space on the desk is sacrificed. A portable communication device can be placed on a desk without having to do so. Further, when the locking member is formed of two members and each member is formed to be movable in the left-right direction, the position for holding the portable communication device can be shifted in the left-right direction with respect to the back holding member. Therefore, it is possible to hold the portable communication device at a position where the pen or the like can easily be set on the pen stand or the pen or the like can be easily removed.
