  • Slide/rotation attachment unit and electronic device using the same
    Patent number: 8320111
    Abstract: In a slide/rotation attachment unit (100) having a base plate (1) with first and second axis pins (10, 10a) being spaced from each other at a predetermined distance and a movable plate (2) with first and second hook-shaped portions (20, 20a) that can engage with the first and second axis pins, respectively, the base plate and the movable plate are joined together so that the base plate and the movable plate are rotatable relative to each other. When the movable plate rotates in one direction, the first hook-shaped portion is brought into engagement with the first axis pin, and the second hook-shaped portion is disengaged from the second axis pin. When the movable plate rotates in another direction, the second hook-shaped portion is brought into engagement with the second axis pin, and the first hook-shaped portion is disengaged from the first axis pin.
