  • Patent number: 8521241
    Abstract: A sliding module for a mobile terminal is provided, comprising: a support plate having a rotating mechanism on a first end thereof; a rotating plate connected with the support plate via the rotating mechanism; a sliding plate disposed on the rotating plate and configured to slide against the rotating plate; and a restricting mechanism disposed on a second end of the support plate opposite to the first end thereof to restrict a pair of first side portions at an end of the sliding plate neighboring the second end of the support plate, wherein the rotating plate may be rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the support plate via the rotating mechanism when the first side portions slide out of the restricting mechanism. A mobile terminal comprising the same is also provided.
