CABLE STORAGE STRUCTURE OF SLIDE COMPONENTS, SLIDE UNIT, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND CABLE STORAGE METHOD
Publication number: 20110308852Abstract: A slide groove (27) is formed between opposed surfaces of an operation component case (11) and a display component case (12) coupled to each other so as to be slidable relative to each other. The slide groove (27) extends in single-layer space parallel to the opposed surfaces and is capable of storing a bundle of ultrafine coaxial cables (33). The slide groove extends portions of the ultrafine coaxial cables that have been drawn from cable holes (24, 28) opened in the opposed surfaces along the same sliding direction and stores the ultrafine coaxial cables in a state in which the ultrafine coaxial cables are curved in a plane direction between the opposed surfaces. The cable holes are opened at positions separated in the sliding direction at the beginning of sliding and at the end of sliding.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Inventor: Fumiyuki Kobayashi
