A mobile device includes a trigger having a rod-like body fixed at one end. A housing has a first hole into which the body is inserted. A sensor detects that the trigger has been operated in the direction in which the body is pulled from the hole. A buzzer is activated in response to the sensor's having detected the operation of the trigger. A second hole is formed in a firmly fitted member. The body is inserted in the second hole so as to be freely slid forward or backward against the hole. The fitted member is fitted firmly in the entrance portion of the first hole; and a sealing member contacts the internal wall of the first hole and the body.
1. A mobile device comprising:
a trigger having a rod-like body fixed at one end;
a housing having a first hole into which the rod-like body is inserted, the first hole being taperingly formed such that an entrance portion of the hole is larger in diameter than the rod-like body and a step is formed at a predetermined place between both ends of the hole;
a sensor for detecting that the trigger has been operated in the direction in which the rod-like body is pulled from the hole;
a buzzer activated in response to the sensor's having detected the operation of the trigger;
a firmly fitted member in which a second hole is formed so that the rod-like body is inserted in the second hole so as to be freely slid forward or backward against the second hole, the firmly fitted member being firmly fitted in the entrance portion of the first hole; and
a sealing member disposed between the step and the firmly fitted member in the first hole so as to be in contact with the internal wall of the first hole and the rod-like body.
2. The mobile device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has a stopper with which the trigger comes into contact when the rod-like body is operated by a predetermined stroke in the direction in which the rod-like body is pulled from the first hole.
3. The mobile device according to claim 2 , wherein the sensor is a switch released from the action of the rod-like body before the trigger being operated comes into contact with the stopper.
4. The mobile device according to claim 2 , wherein the trigger also has projections, and the housing has:
first recesses for receiving the corresponding projections when the rod-like body is in a first position where the rod-like body has been inserted deepest in the first hole;
second recesses for receiving the projections when the trigger is pulled to a second position where the trigger has come into contact with the stopper; and
walls formed between the corresponding first recesses and corresponding second recesses so that the projections move over the walls.
5. The mobile device according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a mobile phone that has a radio communication function.
6. A method of activating an alarm device in a mobile device comprising:
fixing a rod-like body at one end of a trigger;
forming a first hole taperingly in a housing such that an entrance portion of the hole is larger in diameter than the rod-like body;
forming a step at a predetermined place between both ends of the hole;
inserting the rod-like body into the first hole in the housing,
detecting that the trigger has been operated in the direction in which the rod-like body is pulled from the hole;
activating the alarm device in response to detecting the operation of the trigger;
forming a second hole in a firmly fitted member;
inserting the rod-like body in the second hole so as to be freely slid forward or backward against the second hole;
fitting the firmly fitted member in the entrance portion of the first hole; and
disposing a sealing member between the step and the firmly fitted member in the first hole so as to be in contact with the internal wall of the first hole and the rod-like body.
