  • Patent number: 7746323
    Abstract: A 5-direction key operating device is provided in which the structure of diaphragm contacts disposed on a printed circuit board is improved to allow five diaphragms to be disposed in a minimum space, and a single button key is enabled to operate the five diaphragms. Moreover, a 5-direction key operating device is provided in which an operation space can be reduced, and desired one of information displayed on a display section can be selected and determined by a smooth key operation without causing an erroneous operation. In each of diaphragm contacts on which diaphragms (4) that are arranged in the shape of a cross in correspondence with 5-direction keys are to be placed, a circular contact (1) which is a first contact, and strip-like contact portions (3a to 3d) which are elongated in a fan-like shape with respect to the center of the first contact (1) are disposed in a second contact (2) and in the side opposite to the side of the first contact (1).

  • Patent number: 7331724
    Abstract: A portable device includes a camera section, a camera image display, a first case having a first surface having the display therein and a second surface opposite the first surface, a second case that can be positioned over the second surface of the first case, a rotation axis section supporting the second case to the first case rotatably about an axis perpendicular to the first surface of the first case, and a camera/display operation section. The camera section has an optical axis, and the rotation axis section accommodates the camera section so that the optical axis is parallel to the rotation axis. The operation section is on the first surface of the first case opposite an image-capturing direction of the rotation axis of the rotation axis section.

  • Publication number: 20060104628
    Abstract: A portable device includes a camera section, a display capable of displaying an image captured by the camera section, a first case having a first surface having the display therein and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a second case that can be positioned over the second surface of the first case, a rotation axis section supporting the second case to the first case rotatably about a rotation axis perpendicular to the first surface of the first case, and an operation section operates at least one of the camera section and the display. The camera section has an optical axis and is capable of capturing an image of an object in an image-capturing direction parallel to the optical axis. The rotation axis section accommodates the camera section so that the optical axis is parallel to the rotation axis, and the image-capturing direction is directed from the first surface of the first case to the second surface of the first case.

  • Patent number: 6127933
    Abstract: Warning indication means of a warning LED lamp 22, etc., is disposed in the vicinity of a transmitter section 1 within a filed of view 13 of the user during conversation and if the battery remaining quantity falls below a specified value or antenna sensitivity is degraded, interfering with conversation, the warning indication means is blinked for warning the user without interfering with conversation during the conversation. The user becomes aware of the blinking warning indication means and recognizes a warning issued by a portable communication terminal 24. Based on the recognition, the user can also know more detailed warning contents by seeing an LCD section during the conversation.

  • Patent number: 5426440
    Abstract: An antenna device is withdrawable from and receivable in a body of a portable radio device. A rodlike antenna is covered with a rodlike antenna cover, and a helix antenna to which an initial elastic strain is imparted is covered with a cap. A control portion of an electrically-conductive member is movably received in a groove formed in a portion of connection between the rodlike antenna cover and the cap. The rodlike antenna cover is supported on the body of the radio device. In an extended condition of the rodlike antenna, a connection portion of the electrically-conductive member is urged against the rodlike antenna by a restoring load of the helix antenna to electrically connect the spiral antenna to the rodlike antenna. In a retracted condition of the rodlike antenna, the electrically-conductive member is caused to abut against an antenna holder to be spaced apart from the rodlike antenna, thereby interrupting an electrical connection between the helix antenna and the rodlike antenna.

  • Patent number: 5274486
    Abstract: A cover is introduced onto a holder, substantially perpendicular to the holder by guides which hold a liquid crystal display panel on the holder so that the liquid crystal display panel is displaceable only in a direction substantially perpendicular to the holder, then the cover is set on the holder with the liquid crystal display panel being interposed therebetween. The introducing end parts of stoppers projected from the cover are introduced into lock means provided to the holder so that convex parts formed by the introducing end parts are locked resiliently by the lock means. During assembly, the cover is moved only in a direction perpendicular to the display surface of the liquid crystal display panel with substantially no movement along the display surface thereof, thereby it is possible to prevent the display surface of the liquid crystal display panel from being damaged.
