  • Patent number: 10704576
    Abstract: A module attachment device includes: a first module that includes a first casing and a first moving member, the first moving member being configured such that when a first end is pushed, a second end protrudes from the first casing; and a second module that is engaged with a mounting surface, and includes a second moving member that is disposed at a position where the second moving member is capable of pushing the first end of the first moving member, wherein in response to the first end of the first moving member being pushed by the second moving member, the second end of the first moving member protruding from the first casing comes into engagement with the mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 10616389
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a handset and a cradle that removably holds the handset. In the cradle, the storage section is disposed in the main body, includes a recess formed from a bottom surface, two side surfaces extending along a longitudinal direction, and two end surfaces extending along a lateral direction that crosses the longitudinal direction, and can accommodate the entire length of the handset. The cord insertion portion is open at a first end surface of the two end surfaces. A cord of the electronic terminal passes through the cord insertion portion. The push-up member is disposed so as to retractably project from the bottom surface of the storage section, and abuts against the handset stored in the storage portion. The handset is stored in the storage section so as to form a space between the handset and the bottom surface of the storage section, and can pivot to the first end surface side due to the push-up member projecting.

  • Publication number: 20020003875
    Abstract: The present invention features a modular assembly for a handset, including a handset housing having a cord reel receptacle. A modular cord reel has a reel housing and a retractable cord adapted for connection to the handset. The cord reel is installed in and removable from the receptacle in the handset housing. At least one fastener removably secures the cord reel to the receptacle. Preferably the fastener is captively held in the cord reel housing to minimize dropping and loss of the fasteners.
