FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the coupling ring member 11 and the engaging portion 29 are engaged.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the storage member 1, the member main body 10 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with the vertically long first case body 2 and the vertically long second case body 3 as main components. A storage space for storing the communication device 101 is formed inside the member main body 10. That is, when the first case body 2 and the second case body 3 are in the closed state, a storage space having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape corresponding to the outer shape of the communication device 101 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape is formed. And the communication apparatus 101 is accommodated in this accommodation space (refer FIG. 3).

  In the description of the storage member 1, when the first case body 2 and the second case body 3 are closed, the side opposite to the hinge part 4 in the longitudinal direction of the member body 10 is referred to as “front side”, and the hinge part 4 side. Is called “rear side”. The first case body 2 side is referred to as “lower side”, and the second case body 3 side is referred to as “upper side”. Further, the “left side” and the “right side” are also determined based on the front side, the rear side, the lower side, and the upper side.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the first case body 2 includes a bottom plate portion 51, a left wall portion 52, a right wall portion 53, a rear wall portion 54, and a top plate portion 55. The bottom plate portion 51 is located below the first case body 2 and forms substantially the entire area of the bottom portion of the first case body 2. The left side wall portion 52 extends from the left end edge of the bottom plate portion 51 so as to rise upward. The right wall 53 extends from the right edge of the bottom plate portion 51 so as to rise upward. The rear wall portion 54 extends from the rear end edge of the bottom plate portion 51 so as to rise upward. The top plate portion 55 is located only in the rear region on the upper side of the first case body 2. The top plate part 55 is continuous with the left side wall part 52, the right side wall part 53 and the rear wall part 54.

  The second case body 3 includes a top plate part 61, a left side wall part 62, a right side wall part 63, and a front wall part 64. The top plate portion 61 is located on the upper side of the second case body 3 and forms substantially the entire area of the top portion of the second case body 3. The top plate portion 61 includes a rear top plate portion 61A that forms a rear portion thereof, and a front top plate portion 61B that forms a front portion thereof. The front top plate portion 61B swells above the rear top plate portion 61A. The bulge of the front top plate portion 61B is provided corresponding to the bulge portion 111D of the device main body 111, and therefore the storage space formed in the member main body 10 substantially matches the outer shape of the communication device 101. .

The left side wall portion 62 extends from the left end edge of the top plate portion 61 so as to hang downward. The right wall 63 extends from the right edge of the top plate 61 so as to hang downward. The front wall portion 64 extends so as to hang downward from the front edge of the top plate portion 61.
The top plate portion 61 does not exist in the rear region on the upper side of the second case body 3 (hereinafter also referred to as “relief portion 65”). The escape portion 65 has substantially the same size as the top plate portion 55 of the first case body 2. As shown in FIG. 12B, when the first case body 2 and the second case body 3 are closed, the top plate portion 55 of the first case body 2 is positioned in the escape portion 65, and the first case The top plate portion 55 of the body 2 and the rear top plate portion 61A of the top plate portion 61 of the second case body 3 are flush with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the hinge part 4 includes a hinge shaft part 41, a hinge hole part 42, a first notch part 43, and a second notch part 44. The hinge shaft portion 41 is a shaft portion that protrudes inward from the inside (right side) of the left side wall portion 62 of the second case body 3. The hinge hole 42 is a hole that penetrates both the left side wall 52 of the first case body 2 and the first connection conductor 25 (described later). The first notch portion 43 is provided on the outer side (left side) of the left side wall portion 52 of the first case body 2. The first notch portion 43 extends in an arc shape around the hinge hole portion 42. The second notch portion 44 is provided on the inner side (right side) of the left side wall portion 62 of the second case body 3. The second notch portion 44 extends in an arc shape around the hinge shaft portion 41. Due to the engagement between the first notch portion 43 and the second notch portion 44, the second case body 3 can be maintained in an open state at a predetermined angle with respect to the first case body 2. Thereby, it becomes easy to make the storage member 1 stand on a table etc. in the state which opened the 2nd case body 3 with respect to the 1st case body 2 at a predetermined angle.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the member main body 10 is provided with a storage-side antenna 21 as a second antenna element. The storage-side antenna 21 includes a crank-shaped crank portion 22 that is repeatedly bent, a second connection conductor 23 connected to an end of the crank portion 22, a first connection conductor 25 connected to the second connection conductor 23, Have The crank portion 22 has a first resonance frequency, like the main antenna 112. The crank portion 22 is mainly disposed on the inner side (lower side) of the front top plate portion 61B of the second case body 3. The second connection conductor 23 is disposed on the inner side (right side) of the left side wall portion 62 of the second case body 3. The first connection conductor 25 is disposed on the outer side (left side) of the left side wall portion 52 of the first case body 2. That is, in the present embodiment, the storage-side antenna 21 is disposed across the first case body 2 and the second case body 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the front end portion of the left side wall portion 52 of the second case body 3 is bent so as to extend upward. An engagement hole 27 is formed in the bent portion. The connection ring member 11 is a ring-shaped member made of a conductive metal, and is fitted so as to cover the inner surface of the engagement hole portion 27, thereby being fixed to the second case body 3.

  On the inner side (right side) of the left side wall portion 62 of the second case body 3, an engaging portion 29 protruding inward is formed. The engaging portion 29 engages with the connecting ring member 11 in a state where the member main body 10 is closed. When the engaging portion 29 engages with the connecting ring member 11, the closed state of the first case body 2 and the second case body 3 is maintained. Therefore, the closed state of the member main body 10 is stable, and the communication device 101 can be reliably stored in the member main body 10.

  Further, when the crank portion 22 is disposed on the front side of the second case body 3 and the member case 10 is opened by rotating the second case body 3 around the hinge portion 4, the crank portion 22 is It is located at a position away from the connecting ring member 11 on the first case body 2 side. Thereby, as will be described later, the crank portion 22 is separated from the communication device 101 connected via the connection ring member 11, and the influence of noise from the PC 151 connected to the communication device 101 is reduced.

  The second connection conductor 23 extends linearly from the end portion of the crank portion 22 to the rear end portion of the left side wall portion 62 along the longitudinal direction of the second case body 3. The first connection conductor 25 extends linearly from the rear end portion of the left side wall portion 52 to the connection ring member 11 along the longitudinal direction of the first case body 2. The second connection conductor 23 and the first connection conductor 25 are electrically connected at the hinge portion 4. The first connection conductor 25 is electrically connected to the coupling ring member 11. Therefore, the crank portion 22 and the coupling ring member 11 are electrically connected via the second connection conductor 23 and the first connection conductor 25. As shown in FIG. 13, the front end side of the first connection conductor 25 and the left side wall portion 52 of the first case body 2 are fastened together by the connecting ring member 11.

  Next, connection and release of the main antenna 112 on the communication device 101 side and the storage-side antenna 21 on the storage member 1 side will be described. FIG. 14 is a partial perspective view showing a state in which the communication device 101 and the storage member 1 are connected. FIG. 15 is a partial cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the communication device 101 and the storage member 1 are connected. FIG. 16 is a partial perspective view showing a state in which the storage member 1 is removed from the communication device 101.

The communication device 101 stored in the storage member 1 is used after being taken out of the storage member 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the protrusion 140 formed on the antenna base 113 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. The length in the axial direction of the protruding portion 140 is substantially the same as the length in the axial direction of the hole portion of the connecting ring member 11. An external terminal portion 147 of the connection terminal 141 is exposed at the protruding portion 140 (see FIG. 9). As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the protruding portion 140 having such a configuration is fitted into the connecting ring member 11. Thereby, the external terminal part 147 contacts the inner surface of the connection ring member 11, and the external terminal part 147 and the connection ring member 11 are electrically connected. As a result, the main antenna 112 on the communication device 101 side and the storage-side antenna 21 on the storage member 1 side are electrically connected via the external terminal portion 147 and the connecting ring member 11.
In addition, when overload etc. are added to the protrusion part 140 of the connected state, and the connection ring member 11, in order to suppress damage to both, it is preferable that the protrusion part 140 has a softness | flexibility and elasticity.

  When the storage-side antenna 21 is electrically connected to the main antenna 112, the storage-side antenna 21 functions as an external antenna of the communication device 101 when the member body 10 is in the open state. For this reason, it is possible to maintain the antenna characteristics. In particular, when the member body 10 is in the open state, the crank portion 22 of the storage-side antenna 21 is located away from the PC 151, so that the influence of noise of the PC 151 is reduced. The communication function of the communication device 101 is stabilized.

  The release of the connection between the storage-side antenna 21 and the main antenna 112 can be easily performed by removing the protrusion 140 from the coupling ring member 11 as shown in FIG. With this removal, the communication device 101 is removed from the storage member 1, and the communication device 101 can be stored in the storage member 1.

  17A to 17C are side views for explaining the height adjustment between the communication device 101 and the storage member 1. As shown in FIG. 8, the angle of the antenna stand 113 with respect to the apparatus main body 111 can be adjusted. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the projecting portion 140 is fitted into the connecting ring member 11, and the antenna base 113 rotates around the projecting portion 140 as a rotation axis. For this reason, it is possible to adjust the height of the storage member 1 according to the thickness of the PC 151 (the height direction position of the communication device 101). 17A shows the case of the PC 151 having a small thickness, FIG. 17B shows the case of the PC 151 having an intermediate thickness, and FIG. 17C shows the case of the PC 151 having a thick thickness. A state in which the communication apparatus 101 is inserted into 152 or the like is shown.

  In many cases, the height (position) of the card slot 152 or the like varies depending on the thickness of the PC 151. Therefore, the height of the device main body 111 of the communication device 101 connected to the card slot 152 or the like is often different. On the other hand, according to the storage member 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 17, the height of the communication device 101 and the storage member 1 is increased by adjusting the rotation angle of the antenna base 113. Since it can be adjusted, it becomes easy to stably install the storage member 1 connected to the communication device 101 on the table T, for example. For this reason, the installation state of the storage member 1 is not likely to be unstable, and the antenna characteristics are easily improved.

  18A and 18B are diagrams showing a modification of the storage-side antenna. In the first modification shown in FIG. 18A, the crank portion 22A of the storage-side antenna 21A has a shape that repeatedly bends in the front-rear direction. In the second modification shown in FIG. 18B, the crank portion 22A of the storage-side antenna 21A has a shape that repeatedly bends in an oblique direction with respect to the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. The shape and arrangement of the crank portion can be changed according to the shape of the second case body 3 and the usage environment of the antenna.

According to the storage member 1 of the present embodiment having the above configuration, for example, the following effects are exhibited.
According to the present embodiment, since the storage member 1 that stores the communication device 101 functions as an external antenna, it is not necessary to use an external antenna that is separate from the communication device 101 in addition to the storage member 1. Since the communication device 101 and the storage member 1 are carried as a set (communication device set), there is no inconvenience of separately carrying the external antenna, and there is no need for a space for housing a separate external antenna. Become. Thereby, portability and storage property are improved. That is, the storage member 1 that is not used when the communication device 101 is used can be effectively utilized.

  According to this embodiment, the storage-side antenna 21 is provided in the storage member 1 that stores the communication device 101, and the storage-side antenna 21 is electrically connected to the main antenna 112 of the communication device 101 via the connecting ring member 11 or the like. Connectable. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the antenna characteristics of the communication device 101 and to expand the communicable range.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the storage-side antenna 21 of the storage member 1 is provided across the first case body 2 and the second case body 3. Therefore, adjustment of the antenna characteristics accompanying opening and closing of the first case body 2 and the second case body 3 can be easily performed.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the engaging part 29 is provided in the second case body 3, and the engaging part 29 is engaged with the connecting ring member 11 of the first case body 2, so that the first case body 2 and The closed state of the second case body 3 is maintained. The connection ring member 11 is a part whose main purpose is connection with the antenna base 113 of the communication apparatus 101, and is not particularly necessary when the communication apparatus 101 is not used. The connection ring member 11 that is not necessary when the communication device 101 is not used can be effectively used when the communication device 101 is stored. Therefore, a dedicated member for maintaining the closed state between the first case body 2 and the second case body 3 is not necessary, and the number of parts can be reduced. Further, the storage state of the communication device 101 is stabilized.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the main antenna 112 of the communication device 101 and the storage-side antenna 21 of the storage member 1 are electrically connected by fitting the protrusion 140 to the coupling ring member 11. Therefore, the main antenna 112 and the storage-side antenna 21 can be easily connected.
