Two way sliding apparatus

Abstract

The present invention relates to a two way sliding device for a potable terminal in which a cover is slid with respect to a main body. The two way sliding device comprises a flat plate- shaped stationary stage fixed to the main body, the stationary stage having X-axial moving guide portions formed at upper and lower sides thereof in the vertical direction; an X-axis moving stage having X-axis sliding portions provided at upper and lower sides thereof in the horizontal direction to be coupled with the X-axial moving guide portions and moved in the horizontal direction, the X-axis moving stage having Y-axial moving guide portions provided at both lateral sides thereof in the vertical direction, the X-axis moving stage having an opening formed at a center thereof; a Y-axis moving stage fixed to the cover, the Y-axis moving stage having Y-axis sliding portions formed at both lateral sides thereof to be coupled with the Y-axial moving guide portion and moved within the opening in the vertical direction; and an elastic member having an end coupled with the stationary stage and the other end coupled with the Y-axis moving stage, thereby being rotated 360 degrees within a range of the opening when the slide of the X-axis moving stage in the horizontal direction and the slide of the Y-axis moving stage in the vertical direction cooperate with each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a two-way sliding device for a portable terminal, which is thin and light and enables a cover to slide freely in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. Background technique [0002] Generally, a portable information device (hereinafter referred to as a "terminal") such as a cellular phone, an electronic dictionary, a notebook computer, a portable multimedia player (PMP), etc. is a device for wireless communication such as a call or data transmission. In the terminal, a cover provided with a display liquid crystal is coupled to a main body provided with a keypad so as to be openable and closeable. [0003] Terminals may be classified into bar-type terminals, flip-type terminals, folder-type terminals, slide-type terminals, etc., according to an appearance or an opening / closing structure of a cover relative to a main body. [0004] Among the above-mentioned var...

Problems solved by technology

However, this sliding device must have a three-stage platform structure, and at least two elastic members are required to allow each platform to slide

[0007] Therefore, this sliding device must be designed to be 1.5 times to 3 times thicker than the general sliding device, so that the overall thickness of the terminal increases, and because of the uneven movement caused by the increase in the vertical displacement difference between the platforms , so the durability of the terminal decreases

Furthermore, a disadvantage of this type of terminal is that in order for the slide to move in the lateral direction, the slide must be slid in either direction (usually upwards)
