The restricting portion is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a protruding portion 35 that protrudes downward near the front end as a lower surface of the second frame 3. The protruding portion 35 contacts the upper surface of the first frame body 2 from the closed state and the closed state to just before the open state so that the rotation of the second frame body 3 with respect to the first frame body 2 is restricted. Formed.

Moreover, it is preferable that the rotation allowance part 25 is provided in the upper surface of the 1st frame 2. The rotation allowable portion permits the rotation of the first frame body 2 and the second frame body 3 when the first frame body 2 and the second frame body 3 slide to each other from the closed state to the open state. When the second frame 3 with respect to the first frame 2 becomes a predetermined angle, for example, a rotational angle of 40 degrees, the rotation is stopped. The rotation allowable part 25 is formed in the groove shape at the upper surface of the 1st frame 2, for example. That is, when the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 slide to each other and are in the slide open state, the turning allowable portion 25 of the groove shape is positioned at the position where the protrusion 35 of the second frame 3 contacts. It is preferable to install a and to enable the second frame 3 to rotate. Moreover, it is preferable that the rotation allowance part 25 has a stopper part (not shown) which makes the rotation stop when the 2nd frame 3 becomes 40 degree of rotation angle with respect to the 1st frame 2. Do. Accordingly, when the first frame body 2 and the second frame body 3 slide to each other from the closed state and open, the second frame body 3 with respect to the first frame body 2 with the shaft 11 as the axis. When the rotation angle is 40 degrees by rotating, the rotation is stopped and is configured to be in an open rotation state.

Next, the operation of the mobile device according to the present invention will be described.

In a normal state in which the portable device 1 is not used, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 are in a closed state where they overlap each other. At that time, the free end of the swinging arm 91 is pressed toward the opposite side (front side) of the slider member 8 by the action force of the spring spring 92 so that the slide member 73 slides in the grooves 81. In contact with the closed end of the base member 7 and the slider member 8 is bound and stopped, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 is maintained in a closed state overlapping each other. Moreover, in order to maintain the closed state more reliably, you may provide the lock mechanism.

When the portable device 1 is used, for example, a force is applied to the second frame body 3 so that the second frame body 3 slides with respect to the first frame body 2 to be in an open state. That is, the second frame 3 is slid by applying a force to the first frame 2 in the opening direction. Then, the pivot arm 91 pivots the shaft 11. At that time, the spring-loaded spring 92 acts as a sliding force, and the spring-loaded spring 92 receives a load and extends in the circumferential direction against the action force, that is, the elastic force.

Then, in the neutral state (see Fig. 8), if the action force applied to the free end of the swinging arm 91 by the spring spring 92 acts in the direction of the shaft 11, the slide member 73 in the slide direction. There is no action. That is, the slide force becomes zero. After passing through the neutral state, the position of the axis of the swinging arm 91 (center of the shaft 11) and its free end are relatively reversed, and the winding spring 92 is made around the shaft 11. Since the free end of the turning arm 91 is pressed in the direction away from the shaft 11, the 2nd frame 3 automatically slides with respect to the 1st frame 2 in an opening direction, and it will be in an open state. Moreover, when it is in an open state, it is preferable to provide a slide control part in the 1st frame 2 and the 2nd frame 3 so that the slide of the 1st frame 2 and the 2nd frame 3 may stop.

Even in the open state, the free end of the swing arm 91 is pressed in front of the slider member 8 by the action force of the spring spring 92, so that the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 are opened. Will remain in the state. Thereby, since the keyboard provided in the upper surface of the 1st frame 2 is exposed, keyboard operation becomes possible. Moreover, in order to maintain the open state more reliably, you may provide a lock mechanism. As a result, the slide operation can be performed semi-automatically when the slide is moved from the closed state to the open state.

At that time, when the display 31 of the second frame 3 is hard to see, the second frame 3 is rotated relative to the first frame 2. That is, in the open state, since the protruding portion 35 of the second frame body 3 is positioned above the rotation allowable portion 25, the second frame body 3 can be rotated with respect to the first frame body 2, so that The second frame 3 can be rotated about the first frame 2 by rotating the shaft 11 about the axis, and the rotation can be rotated until the rotation angle becomes 40 degrees. When the rotation is stopped during the rotation, the rotational portion 12 'of the bracket 12 is pressed by the base spring 11 to the base portion 11a of the shaft 11 so that the friction occurs. The second frame 3 with respect to) is held at the position where the rotation has been stopped. As a result, since the angle of the display 31 can be changed to an arbitrary angle, since keyboard operation etc. can be performed in the state which is easy to see the image displayed on the display 31, the convenience of use improves.

When returning to the closed state after use, after rotating the 2nd frame 3 with respect to the 1st frame 2, and returning to an open state, the 2nd frame 3 is opened with respect to the 1st frame 2 When it slides from the state into the closed state, the spring spring 92 extends in the circumferential direction against the force. After passing the neutral state, if the axial point of the swinging arm 91 and the position of the free end thereof are relatively reversed, the second frame 3 is formed by the action of the spring spring 92 around the shaft 11. And the first frame body 2 is pressed in the closing direction. As a result, the second frame body 3 automatically slides in the closing direction with respect to the first frame body 2, and the slide member 73 comes into contact with the closed end of the slide groove portion 81 in a closed state. As a result, the slide operation can be performed semi-automatically when the slide is moved from the open state to the closed state.

Therefore, since the portable device 1 according to the present invention can be opened and closed automatically and can change the angle of the second frame body 3 with respect to the first frame body 2, it is easy to use. will be.

In addition, by using the swinging arm 91, the spring spring 92, the counter spring 13, and the like, the slide operation is performed semi-automatically and the pivoting operation is performed, thereby reducing the number of parts and reducing the cost and miniaturization. You can do it. In addition, various slide motions can be set by changing the elasticity characteristics of the spring spring 92 and the position and length of the swing arm 91. For example, by increasing the force of the force acting means 9 in the closed state and the open state, the force for maintaining the closed state and the open state can be increased, and the closed state and the open state can be reliably maintained. Will be.

As described above, the portable apparatus according to the present invention is provided with the semi-automatic means and the rotating means, so that the second frame body is automatically opened and closed from a predetermined position with respect to the first frame body, so that the first frame body and the second frame body are opened. It is possible to slide automatically semi-automatically, and when the second frame is rotated with respect to the first frame when it is in an open state, the angle of the second frame with respect to the first frame can be changed. This improves and is particularly suitable for use in portable terminals.
