  • Publication number: 20100184490
    Abstract: A portable terminal in which, even when an impact caused by dropping or the like acts on an engaging portion of a second rotating member, it is possible to prevent a lock pin for fixing the second rotating member, and an engaging portion from being broken is provided. A second housing portion 56 in which a magnet 63 of a second engaging portion 46 is disposed attracts an engaging pin 45 formed by a magnetic material, by a magnetic force to project the engaging pin 45 from the surface 11A of a first case 11, and a second case 12 is caused to rotate about a second rotating axis 32, whereby a second projecting portion 52 is housed in the second housing portion 56 and the engaging pin 45 is locked. The second projecting portion 52 is rotatable about the axis of a first projecting portion 51.
