Patent number: 9192060Abstract: The electronic device includes a first casing, a second casing, and a connecting member engaging with the first casing to allow the first casing to turn about a first axis of rotation, and engaging with the second casing to allow the second casing to turn about a second axis of rotation. When a turning angle is 0 or 360 degrees, a distance between the first and second axes of rotation equals to the sum of a half of the sum of the thicknesses of the first and second casings and a clearance between the first and second casings, and the first axis of rotation is arranged at a position shifted from the center of the first casing in a reference direction to the second casing side, by a half of a value calculated by subtracting the thickness of the first casing from the thickness of a first casing-side connecting portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Yasuhiko Kawasaki

Patent number: 9112955Abstract: The mobile terminal device of the present invention includes at least one hinge and a first enclosure and second enclosure that are openably/closably connected by way of the hinge. The distances between the center of the hinge and the non-opposing surface of each of the first enclosure and second enclosure are equal. When the first and second enclosures in a closed state are rotated by the angle formed by the two normal lines drawn from the center of the hinge to the non-opposing surface of each of the first enclosure and second enclosure, the portions at which the non-opposing surfaces intersect the hinge-side side surfaces of the first enclosure and second enclosure match. The diameter of the hinge is equal to or less than the total length of the distances between the center of the hinge and the non-opposing surface of each of the first enclosure and second enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Yasuhiko Kawasaki

Patent number: 7941196Abstract: A waterproof structure for a casing has a first casing, a second casing to be put together with the first casing, and a waterproof member formed of an elastic material to prevent water from penetrating between the first casing and the second casing. The second casing has a recess. The waterproof member has a peripheral part which, when fitted into the recess, prevents penetration of water. The peripheral part is provided at the periphery of the waterproof member, which is laid out all around space between the first casing and the second casing. A projection engages with a dent. A restriction part of the first casing, provided at a position facing the peripheral part and protruding toward the second casing, prevents the peripheral part from coming out.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2007Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Casio Hitachi Mobile Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiko Kawasaki, Takeru Baba, Toshiyuki Murakami, Shigeru Kato, Tsutomu Yamaguchi
