  Embodiments of the present invention that are considered suitable (how to carry out the invention) will be briefly described with reference to the drawings, illustrating the operation of the present invention.

  The present invention is a slide device in which a first member 1 and a second member 2 are connected in an overlapping manner so as to be slidable in the overlapping surface direction via a slide guide mechanism. Further, one end of the elastic part 4 is connected to the first member 1 or the second member 2 and the other end is connected to the second member 2 or the first member 1. It is comprised so that an elastic force may be produced in the direction to do.

  Therefore, the elastic force of the elastic part 4 is applied between the first member 1 and the second member 2. Of the elastic force of the elastic part 4, the first member 1 and the second member 2 A component in the sliding direction acts as a sliding movement biasing force between the first member 1 and the second member 2.

At the same time, the elastic force of the elastic part 4 also has a component in the left-right direction orthogonal to the sliding movement direction of the second member 2 relative to the first member 1. For example, one end of the elastic part 4 is positioned in the first member 1. In the configuration in which the other end is connected to the second member 2 in a positioning state, the left and right direction of the second member 2 with respect to the first member 1 is determined by the horizontal component of the elastic force of the elastic portion 4. The urging force is generated, and when the slide is moved, the left and right sides are shifted to cause extra slide resistance, and smooth operability may be impaired. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a lateral biasing force from being generated and to cause the above-described deviation, thereby realizing a smooth operation feeling.

  That is, in the present invention, the fixed connection end 4a at one end of the elastic portion 4 is connected to the first member 1 or the second member 2 in a positioned state, but the movable connection end 4b at the other end is connected to the second member 2 or the second member 2. It is connected to the one member 1 movably in the left-right direction without being connected to the positioning state. Specifically, the movable member 5 is provided by providing the movable member 5 movable in the left-right direction on the second member 2 or the first member 1, and connecting the movable connecting end 4 b of the elastic portion 4 to the movable member 5. The movable connecting end 4b of the elastic portion 4 is connected to the second member 2 or the first member 1 so as to be movable in the left-right direction.

Further, the first member 1 or the second member 2 that connects the fixed connection end 4a of the elastic portion 4 is provided with a guide portion 6 such as a guide long hole or a guide convex portion having a length in the sliding movement direction, A movable contact portion 5 a that contacts the guide edge portion 6 a of the guide portion 6 is provided on the movable member 5.

More specifically, for example, as described below in Example, the guide portion 6, the sliding direction and a guide long hole 6 having a length, the guide portion 6 of the hole edge portion 6a of the guide slot 6 configuration of the guide edge portions 6a, such that the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 provided movably in the lateral direction perpendicular to the sliding direction is pressed against the hole edge portion 6a of the guide slot 6 To do.

Therefore, the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 is guided by the guide edge portion 6a of the guide portion 6 (for example, the guide long hole 6) due to the left-right direction component orthogonal to the slide movement direction of the elastic force of the elastic portion 4 described above. (For example, the hole edge 6a) is elastically urged to come into pressure contact. That is, for example, the case where the fixed connecting portion 4a of the elastic portion 4 is connected to the first member 1 and the movable connecting portion 4b is connected to the second member 2 will be described as an example. The fixed connecting end of the first member 1 and the elastic portion 4 In contrast to the biasing force in the left-right direction that acts on the connecting portion with the portion 4a, the biasing force in the opposite direction to the left and right acts on the guide edge 6a of the guide portion 6 of the first member 1 instead of the second member 2. The opposite urging forces will be offset or reduced.

  Therefore, as in the prior art, the sliding movement biasing force can be generated satisfactorily by the elastic force of the elastic portion 4, and the lateral biasing force is generated in the second member 2 relative to the first member 1 during the sliding movement. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operability from being deteriorated due to the left and right deviations, and it is possible to easily design and implement the structure of the slide device having a smooth and good operational feeling.

When the second member 2 is slid relative to the first member 1, the movable contact portion 5 a of the movable member 5 is elastically pressed against the guide edge 6 a of the guide portion 6 by the elastic force of the elastic portion 4. While being urged and pressed , the first member 1 and the second member 2 follow the sliding movement and move relative to each other in the guide long hole 6. On the other hand, it is possible not only to prevent a lateral biasing force from being generated in the second member 2 but also to prevent a lateral displacement, and for example, depending on the setting of the shape of the guide edge 6a of the guide portion 6, a predetermined slide It is very easy to design and realize a configuration in which a positioning holding force and a sliding movement biasing force are generated at a position.

Specifically, for example, the guide portion 6 slides between the first member 1 and the second member 2 on a part or all of the guide edge portion 6a with which the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 contacts. When the second member 2 is slid and moved relative to the first member 1, the movable member 5 is brought into a movable contact with the elastic force of the elastic portion 4. An urging force that causes the portion 5a to move from the convex portion of the guide edge portion 6a of the guide portion 6 to the concave portion is generated, and a sliding movement urging force that causes the second member 2 to slide relative to the first member 1 is generated. If it comprises, the slide movement urging | biasing force can be produced not only by the slide movement urging | biasing force by the elastic force of the elastic part 4, but also by the elastic force of this elastic part 4, and the shape of the guide edge part 6a of the guide part 6, More diverse slide movement The ability to realize the force.

Further, for example, the positioning holding force is maintained at a predetermined slide movement position where the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 is fitted into and engaged with the concave portion of the guide edge portion 6a of the guide portion 6 by the elastic force of the elastic portion 4. If constituted, it is constructed not only so that the positioning and holding force at each sliding movement end is generated by the sliding movement biasing force due to the elastic force of the elastic part 4, but also to the recess of the guide edge 6a of this guide part 6. Positioning and holding force can be generated also by the engaging force of the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5, and the positioning and holding force is generated not only at the slide movement end but also at a desired slide movement position such as a middle position of the slide movement. Thus, it is possible to realize various positioning and holding forces.

Therefore, depending on the setting of the shape of the guide edge 6a of the guide part 6, various slide movement biasing forces and positioning holding forces can be designed and realized very easily. This is an epoch-making slide device that can set various positioning and holding forces.

Various configurations such as a torsion spring that exhibits elastic force in a direction in which both ends are separated from each other (angle-expanding direction) In the present embodiment shown in the figure, a configuration composed of two torsion springs having a generally rectangular shape as a whole is employed.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the two torsion springs are used as a slide guide portion forming plate 11 as the lower first member 1 and a slide portion forming plate as the upper second member 2. Arranged in the interstitial space with twelve.

  One end of each of the two torsion springs is connected to the second member 2 in a positioning state. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the connecting shaft pin 13 fixed to a position in the vicinity of one of the left and right edges (slide portion 2 </ b> A) of the slide portion forming plate 12 of the second member 2 is attached to the connecting shaft pin 13.

The other end of the elastic member 4 is pivotally connected to each other, and the movable connecting end 4b of the other end of the elastic portion 4 is pivotally connected to the first member 1 so as to be movable left and right.

  The movable member 5 is formed with a left and right guide elongated hole 7 having a length in the left and right direction orthogonal to the slide movement direction in the central plate-like portion of the first member 1 (slide guide portion forming plate 11). The guide 7 is in contact with the hole edge portion 7 a of the hole 7 and is movably provided in the left-right direction with respect to the first member 1 along the length direction of the left-right guide long hole 7. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the movable member 5 is formed in a plate shape, and the upper and lower plate edges thereof are stepped portions 16 that contact the upper and lower hole edges 7 a of the left and right guide elongated holes 7.

For example, the length in the sliding direction of the first member 1 and the second member 2 is set on the central plate-like portion of the slide portion forming plate 12 as the second member 2. A guide convex portion formed by forming a convex line having a guide line can be variously adopted as the guide portion 6. However, in the present embodiment illustrated, in the present embodiment, the guide portion 6 is guided to the second member 2 as a guide portion 6. A long hole 6 is formed, and a hole edge 6a of the guide long hole 6 is configured as a guide edge 6a.

  The guide slot 6 has a length in the slide direction (front-rear direction) between the first member 1 and the second member 2 in the central plate-like portion of the slide portion forming plate 12 as the second member 2. It is formed in a hole shape. Further, the guide long hole 6 is configured so that a part or all of the hole edge portion 6a with which the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 contacts is orthogonal to the sliding movement direction of the first member 1 and the second member 2. When the second member 2 is slid and moved relative to the first member 1, the movable contact portion 5 a of the movable member 5 is moved by the elastic force of the elastic portion 4. The sliding movement biasing force between the first member 1 and the second member 2 is generated by the biasing force to move from the convex portion of the hole edge 6a of the guide long hole 6 to the concave portion, or the elasticity of the elastic portion 4 The movable holding portion 5a of the movable member 5 is configured to generate a positioning holding force at a predetermined slide movement position where the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 is fitted into and engaged with the concave portion of the hole edge 6a of the guide long hole 6.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the second member 2 is set to a predetermined slide movement intermediate position between the front and rear slide movement end positions with respect to the first member 1, Positioning engagement recesses 8 for engaging and engaging the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 are provided in the hole edge portion 6a of the guide long hole 6 so that a positioning holding force is generated at the predetermined halfway position of the slide movement. It is composed.

  Specifically, a long slot-shaped guide slot 6 that is substantially parallel to the sliding direction is formed in the second member 2, and as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. Is slid from one slide movement end to the opposite slide movement end, so that the roller body 17 as the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 is moved from one end of the guide long hole 6 to the other end. The shape of the guide slot 6 is set so as to move relative to each other, and the positioning engagement recess 8 is formed at a predetermined midway position between both ends of the guide slot 6.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 5 (a), the positioning engagement recess 8 is formed at the position where the second member 2 is provided with respect to the main body of the mobile phone on which the first member 1 is provided. When the closed position (initial position) before the start of the slide where the overlapping portion of the mobile phone overlaps, the movable contact portion 5a of the movable member 5 is exactly positioned and engaged with the positioning engagement recess 8 to maintain the positioning. Set the position where force will be generated.

  FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show operation explanatory views when the front slide is opened (FIG. 4) and when the rear slide is opened (FIG. 5), which shows the sliding operation of the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, when the second member 2 is slid from one slide movement end to the other slide movement end with respect to the first member 1, the second member 2 is moved relative to the second member 2 until it is slid by a predetermined length. Thus, the slide movement biasing force in the return direction is generated, and the slide movement biasing force in the forward direction is generated with respect to the second member 2 when the slide movement is performed for a predetermined length.

  That is, when the second member 2 is slid with respect to the first member 1, the fixed connection end 4 a and the movable connection end 4 b of the elastic portion 4 are juxtaposed in the left-right direction perpendicular to the slide direction, and the slide movement direction This is a configuration in which the sliding movement biasing force is opposite in the forward and reverse directions with the slide position (the slide position in FIG. 4B) where the biasing force in the (front-rear direction) is not generated as a boundary.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 5 (a), at the closed position (initial position) before starting the slide where the overlapping portion is overlapped with the main body portion, the movable member 5 is moved by the elastic force of the elastic portion 4. The contact portion 5a (the roller body 17) is positioned and engaged with the engaging recess 8 of the hole edge 6a of the guide long hole 6 to generate a positioning holding force.

  As shown in FIG. 4, for example, the overlapping portion is pushed forward from the closed position (initial position) with the thumb of one hand holding the main body, and the movable contact portion is resisted against the elastic force of the elastic portion 4. By removing 5a from the engaging recess 8, the overlapping portion moves forward and slides.

  At this time, until the overlapping portion moves forward and slides to the sliding position shown in FIG. 4B, a sliding movement biasing force in the return direction is generated. A sliding movement urging force in the forward direction is generated, and the overlapping portion moves forward and slides to the forward movement side sliding movement end portion shown in FIG. 4C by a light pushing operation force or automatically.

  Then, the overlapped portion is positioned, held, and biased to the front opening position by the sliding movement biasing force in the forward advance direction.

  Further, in this embodiment, the overlapping portion can be opened and moved not only forward but also backward from the closed position (initial position) with respect to the main body, and as shown in FIG. 5, for example, one hand holding the main body The overlapped portion is pulled backward from the closed position (predetermined position) with the thumb of the head, and the overlapped portion is removed from the engaging recess 8 against the elastic force of the elastic portion 4 to remove the overlapped portion. Open slide backward movement.

  In the slide movement range of FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the sliding force for the sliding movement in the advancing direction is generated toward the rear opening side by the elastic force of the elastic portion 4, and therefore the movable contact portion 5a. Is removed from the engaging recess 8, and thereafter, the overlapping portion slides back and opens to the slide opening end on the rear opening side illustrated in FIG. 5B by a light pulling operation force or automatically. Become.

  Then, the overlapping portion is positioned and biased to the rearward open position by the sliding movement biasing force in the backward advance direction.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the overlapping portion is slid forward from the closed position (initial position) to the main body in the same manner as in a normal slide type mobile phone, and the main body of course it is able to the operation portion 9 of the operable exposed state, as shown in FIG. 5, also slide open backward as well as the position of (the initial position) by the front to completely occlude the polymerization unit or exposing the rear end side of the polymerization surface of the body portion Te, and configured so as to expose the opposite front end, the lower surface of the upper surface portion and the overlapping portion of the main body portion that would be exposed by hous ride opened after this For example, a camera photographing unit or the like can be provided in the unit, and a mobile phone with higher commercial value can be realized with a novel operation feeling.

Moreover, the main body portion is obtained by the urging force in the left-right direction due to the elastic force of the elastic portion 4 and the positioning engagement between the movable contact portion 5 a of the movable member 5 and the engagement recess portion 8 of the hole edge portion 6 a of the guide long hole 6. respect fully closed position the overlapped portion (the initial position), securely before hous Ride opening (polymerization plane rear side exposed) position, the rear hous ride opening (polymerization plane front side exposed) position of each of the positions Moreover, positioning and holding can be realized satisfactorily.

  As described above, the slide device of the present embodiment simply sets the hole shape of the guide long hole 6 formed in the center plate-like portion of the second member 2 (the center portion of the slide portion forming plate 12) as described above. In this way, various positioning and holding forces and slide movement biasing forces can be designed and realized very easily, such as a configuration in which a positioning and holding force is generated at an intermediate position between the slide moving ends. That is, for example, as in another example of the present embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, the guide long hole 6 of the second member 2 is not linearly parallel to the sliding movement direction of the first member 1 and the second member 2. In addition, if the shape is bent in a substantially square shape in the length direction, the movable contact portion 5 a (roller body 17) of the movable member 5 is caused by the elastic force of the elastic portion 4 so that the edge of the guide long hole 6 is formed. It can also be configured such that a sliding movement urging force is generated between the first member 1 and the second member 2 due to the urging force to move from the convex portion of the portion 6a to the concave portion. Further, for example, as in another example of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 7, engagement recesses 18 similar to the engagement recesses 8 provided in the middle portion of the guide slot 6 in the length direction are provided at both ends of the guide slot 6. If the configuration is also provided in the portion, the second member 2 can be configured to have a stronger positioning and holding force at the slide moving end position relative to the first member 1.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the second member 2 is not displaced in the left-right direction with respect to the first member 1 and a smooth operation feeling can be realized, and the plate-like central portion of the second member 2 can be pressed. Depending on the setting of the hole shape of the guide long hole 6 to be drilled, it becomes an epoch-making slide apparatus in which slide apparatuses having various specifications according to the required slide operability and positioning holding force can be designed and realized very easily.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate.
