Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a radio with a calculator that displays at least a radio function and a calculator function on a polyhedron in one electronic display section.

Recently, various tape recorders and radios have been developed that have multiple functions, such as a clock and a calculator, but each of these uses a single display section to display each function.

For example, the tape counter of a tape recorder is displayed on the liquid crystal display of a calculator as necessary.

However, most of these multifunctional tape recorders are compact for portability, so one side is equipped with a cassette loading section and a speaker, and the other side is equipped with a calculator. I try to arrange several keys.

For this reason, in most cases a display section is provided on the calculator side, and therefore, when looking at the counter of a tape recorder, one has to turn it over, which is extremely inconvenient. On the other hand, if a display section was provided on the tape recorder side, the calculator function would be lost, which would be inconvenient.

This invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and provides a radio with a calculator that is extremely convenient to use, in which one electronic display section is configured to be rotatable, so that the display section can be oriented toward the required function. aim at something.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. For example, a speaker 2, which is one of the radio functions, is disposed on the front side of the radio main body 1, and an electric circuit, which serves as the radio function, is housed inside the main body. A frequency dial 3 is provided on one side of the radio body 1, and a volume knob 4 is provided on the other side.

On the other hand, on the back side of the radio body 1, that is, on the calculator function side, a number key 5 is provided, and a main switch 6 is provided above it.

On the upper side of the radio main body 1 formed in this manner, an electronic display section 9 consisting of an LED, liquid crystal, etc. for displaying count values for the calculator function and frequencies for the radio function is rotatably provided.

The display signal to the display surface 10 of the display section 9 is supplied from the radio main body side via a pivot shaft (not shown) of the display section 9, and the display signal is supplied from the radio main body side via a pivot shaft (not shown) of the display section 9. Depending on the function (when facing each function), the selector switch 11 is set to the radio function side 12 or the calculator function side 1.
It will automatically switch to 3.

The display unit 9 can be simply and easily positioned by a click mechanism (not shown) or the like.

Reference numeral 14 is a battery storage lid, and this battery power is applied to both the calculator function and the radio function via the main switch 6, and the power to the radio function is applied via the volume knob 4 and the switch. You may use something that also serves as both.
15 is an earphone jack.

When using a radio with a calculator configured in this way, first, when using the calculator function, the display section 9
When the main switch 6 is turned on and the main switch 6 is turned on toward the calculator, power is applied to the display surface 10 of the display section 9 and the counted value according to the calculation is displayed.

On the other hand, when using the radio function, the display section 9 is rotated 180 degrees to face the speaker 2, and the frequency dial 3 is operated to display a predetermined frequency on the display screen.

However, in this device, which has a radio function on one side and a calculator function on the other side, the display section for these functions is configured with a rotatable common display section, and this display section can be positioned on the side facing the desired function. When the function is displayed, the contents of the corresponding function can be displayed.

Therefore, simply by rotating the display unit and pointing it toward the desired function, you can obtain the display corresponding to that function, which allows accurate operation without causing confusion in the operation of each function, and is easy to handle. It is simple and extremely convenient to use.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the main body and the display section may be connected mechanically and electrically, and the shape and other various changes may be made. The point is that each function of a multifunctional radio can be displayed on a single display, and for this purpose, the display can be made rotatable and adjusted to the required functions.

As detailed above, according to this invention, when multi-function displays are displayed on one display section, by providing the display section in a rotatable manner, the display section can be used to face the function to be used. This makes it extremely convenient to use.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A speaker as a radio function arranged on one side of the polyhedron, a number key as a calculator function arranged on the other side of the polyhedron, and a number key arranged rotatably on the polyhedron and located on the side on the speaker side. It is equipped with a display section that switches the display function according to the rotation, so that when it is located on the side of the numeric key, it displays the frequency of the radio function, and when it is located on the side of the numeric key, it displays the counted value as a calculator function. Features a radio with a calculator.
