Im Bereich dieses Überstandes 3, der beim Autoradio allgemein als Kappe bezeichnet wird, liegt auf beiden Seiten des Gehäuses in der Nähe der oberen Gehäusekante 4 ein Gelenklager 5 für einen um rund 270° schwenkbaren Gelenkarm 6. Der Gelenkarm 6 trägt am freien Ende ein weiteres Lager 7. Zwischen den beiden Lagern 7 ist ein Display 8 gelagert, das in diesen Lagern 7 um etwa 90° schwenkbar ist. Die Sichtfläche 9 des Displays steht aufgerichtet über der vom Fahrzeug her zugänglichen Kappe 3 des Gerätes, in der die Bedienungs­ elemente für Autoradio-Funktionen bzw. andere Informationsübermittlungs­ funktionen des Gerätes angeordnet sind, die während der Fahrt bedient werden sollen.In the car radio DIN cutout in a dashboard of a motor vehicle or in a functionally identical cutout in a console 1 , a housing 2 of a communication device is inserted, but which protrudes from the console 1 at a certain depth. In the area of this protrusion 3 , which is generally referred to as a cap on the car radio, there is an articulated bearing 5 on both sides of the housing in the vicinity of the upper housing edge 4 for an articulated arm 6 which can be pivoted about 270 °. The articulated arm 6 carries another bearing 7 at the free end. A display 8 is mounted between the two bearings 7 and can be pivoted in these bearings 7 by approximately 90 °. The visible surface 9 of the display stands erect above the cap 3 of the device accessible from the vehicle, in which the operating elements for car radio functions or other information transmission functions of the device are arranged, which are to be operated while driving.

In der Kappe 3 kann auch der Handapparat eines Autotelefons integriert sein, wie aus anderen Veröffentlichungen bekannt ist. In der Kappe 3 kann ebenfalls ein IR-Sender und Empfänger integriert sein.The handset of a car telephone can also be integrated in the cap 3 , as is known from other publications. An IR transmitter and receiver can also be integrated in the cap 3 .

An der der Kappe 3 gegenüberliegenden Gehäuseseite sind die erforderli­ chen, an sich bekannten Anschlüsse 10 für das Bordnetz, eine Ladeeinrich­ tung für die im Gerät befindlichen Akkus, Lautsprecher bzw. nachgeschalte­ te Verstärker und die Autoantenne vorgesehen.On the opposite side of the cap 3 , the housing is provided with the known, known connections 10 for the vehicle electrical system, a charging device for the batteries, loudspeakers or downstream amplifiers in the device and the car antenna.

Dazu können Verbindungselemente für vorzugsweise serielle Schnittstellen mit sonstigen Systemen im Kfz treten, die vorzugsweise im ausgebauten Zustand für die Verbindung zum Drucker usw. dienen.For this purpose, connecting elements for preferably serial interfaces can be used connect with other systems in the vehicle, preferably in the expanded State for connection to printer etc.

Auf der Sichtfläche 9 des Displays werden die Daten des eingestellten Rundfunkempfängers, gegebenenfalls auch - im Fall der eben erwähnten Kombination - die gewählte Rufnummer bzw. die Nummern eines Telefonbuchaus­ zuges dargestellt. Die Stromversorgung des Displays und der Datentransport vom Gerätegehäuse zum Display erfolgt in bekannter Weise über Kontakte in den Lagern 7 und 5. On the visible surface 9 of the display, the data of the set radio receiver, possibly also - in the case of the combination just mentioned - the dialed number or the numbers of a telephone book are shown. The power supply to the display and the data transport from the device housing to the display takes place in a known manner via contacts in the bearings 7 and 5 .

Das Gerät ist - vergleichbar mit einem "Quickout"-AR - leicht entnehm- und einbaubar ausgelegt.The device is - comparable to a "Quickout" AR - easy to remove and designed for installation.

An der Unterseite des Gehäuses wird bei dem Herausziehen des Gerätes die Tastatur 11 eines Notebook-Computers freigegeben. Soll das Gerät aus dem Fahrzeug mitgenommen werden, dann wird das Display mit Hilfe der Gelenkar­ me über die Tastatur gedeckt, wie es bei dem Nichtgebrauch der Notebook- Computer üblich ist. Der Fahrer kann aber auch mit Hilfe der in dem aus der Halterung heraus gezogenen Gerät zugänglichen Notebook-Funktionen beliebige Aufzeichnungen festhalten und selten vorkommende Einstellungen des AR vornehmen. Dazu ist das Display in die in der Fig. 2 dargestellten mittleren Lage B zu schwenken. Hierbei ist die Sichtfläche des Displays der Notebook-Tastatur zugewandt. In diesem Zustand ist es möglich, Musik über Kopfhörer wiederzugeben.The keyboard 11 of a notebook computer is released on the underside of the housing when the device is pulled out.
