  • Publication number: 20090109616
    Abstract: Disclosed is a portable electronic device bent widthwise. The portable electronic device includes: a first body bent widthwise; a second body mounted on the first body to be capable of being opened and closed, the second body being bent in the same direction as the first body; and a support member interposed between the first and second bodies so as to support the second body on the first body in such a manner that the second body can be opened and closed. The portable electronic device makes it possible to diversify the design of such a portable electronic device. In addition, the portable electronic device is convenient to grip. Furthermore, if the portable electronic device is configured in a slide-type, slippage of the thumb can be minimized when opening or closing the second body of the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20090036181
    Abstract: Disclosed is a combined sliding and rotation mechanism adapted to a device. When the sliding housing enters into a sliding operation mode from a closed condition, the constraint tip of the base swing link escapes from the constraint recess of the sliding housing, and the guide protrusion of the base swing link simultaneously moves from a boundary point between the horizontal recess and the slanted recess of the rotation guide recess to a terminal point of the horizontal recess so that the sliding housing is constrained and prevented from rotating.

  • Publication number: 20090029748
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sliding mechanism apparatus used for slidably opening and closing a slider-type cellular phone. A guide member and a slider member are engaged with each other so as to enable to slide relative to each other. The end of one arm of a first torsion spring is connected to the slider member near the left edge thereof. The end of the other arm thereof is coupled to the right half area of the guide member. The end of one arm of a second torsion spring is connected to the slider member near the right edge thereof. The end of the other arm thereof is coupled to the left half area of the guide member. From the expanded original state of the first and second torsion springs, if an external force is exerted on the slider member or the guide member, the torsion springs are compressed into an acute angle and then spread again by means of the elastic force thereof. In this way, the slider member can move to the lowermost position or the lowermost position.
