Patent number: 10581204Abstract: The present invention effectively prevents a short circuit from occurring between a power supply terminal and a ground electrode. A receptacle-side connector (3) includes a metal plate (mid-plate 32) and a shell part (23). An edge surface (end surface part 32a) of the metal plate, which edge surface is located at an end surface facing a first side toward an opening (23a) of the shell part (23) and which corresponds to a position of a power supply terminal (Vbus terminal 25), is shaped so as to be set back toward a second side opposite the first side.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Kohji Sawayama

Patent number: 7835775Abstract: A cellular phone includes a first case and a second case, which are connected in a foldable manner through a hinge. When the cellular phone is in a folded state, a second display unit displays an image with the side (upper side) closer to the hinge as the upper side. Accordingly, the user can hold the second case of the cellular phone in his/her hand regardless of whether the cellular phone is in a folded state or in an open state. The user can easily switch between a folded state and an open state with respect to the first case and the second case.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2008Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kohji Sawayama, Satoshi Mizuno, Yonosuke Amano, Tamaki Nakamura
