The fixed cam 154, which is provided and is pressed by the inclined pressing end 158, is provided to be moved toward the second hinge protrusion 123.

Accordingly, the operation of the slide-driven portable terminal 100 according to the present invention will be described in detail through the embodiment. Each element mentioned below should be understood with reference to the above description and accompanying drawings.

5a to 5b are simplified views showing the operating state of the fixed hinge portion.

First, the user slides the slide body 110 of the terminal 100 in one direction of the main body 120 in order to use the terminal 100.

In this case, the pivot body 130 coupled to the main body 120 may include a pivot hinge 140 provided between the first hinge protrusion 121 of the main body 120 and the first hinge groove 133 of the pivot body 130. It is a state in which the rotational force that is always rotated by the slide body 110 side by).

That is, the hinge cam 141 inserted into the hinge cam receiving groove 134 formed in the first hinge groove 133 and the hinge shaft fixed to the first hinge protrusion 121 by the first elastic member 147 ( 144 is coupled in a state rotated at a predetermined angle, the hinge cam 141 inserted into the hinge cam receiving groove 134 maintains the state pressed to the hinge shaft 144 by the second elastic member 159. .

Accordingly, the hinge shaft 144 is pressed in the direction in which the bone portion 142 formed on the hinge cam 141 and the mountain portion 146 formed on the hinge shaft 144 are engaged by the elastic force of the first elastic member 147. Rotating body 130 is coupled to exhibit a rotational force that is rotated to the slide body (110) side.

Here, when the slide body 110 moves in one direction of the main body 120, as the slide body 110 pressurizing the rotating body 130 is moved, the rotating body 130 is rotated toward the slide body 110 side. It begins to be.

In addition, as the slide body 110 is moved, the guide groove 114 formed in the lower portion of the slide body 110 is moved, and the inclined pressing surface formed in the guide groove 114 as the guide groove 114 is moved ( 115 is an inclined pressure formed on the outer circumferential surface of the fixed cam 154 of the fixed hinge portion 150 provided between the second hinge protrusion 123 of the main body 120 and the second hinge groove 135 of the rotating body 130. The stage 158 is pressed (see FIG. 5A).

Here, the fixed cam 154 to which the inclined pressing end 158 is pressed is started to move toward the second hinge protrusion 123 of the main body 120 by the inclined pressing surface 115, and the slide body 110 is moved. When the movement is a predetermined distance or more, the fixing protrusion 157 formed on the fixing cam 154 is inserted into the fixing groove 125 formed on the second hinge protrusion 123 and the rotation of the rotation body 130 is fixed (see FIG. 5B). .

Although described in detail with respect to preferred embodiments of the present invention as described above, those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims Various modifications may be made to the invention. Therefore, changes in the future embodiments of the present invention will not be able to escape the technology of the present invention.

As described above, according to the slide-driven portable terminal according to the present invention, as the user slides the slide body on the main body for a call, the pivoting part of the main body rotates while the talker provided on the rotating part rotates to the user side. There is an effect that can reduce the discomfort when the user calls.
