A folding portable terminal wherein a first housing (3) thereof which has a first display section (2) and a second housing (5) thereof which has a second display device (4) are connected to each other so that, in the process of opening and closing the first housing (3) and the second housing (5), the first and second housings (3, 5) can be opened and closed relative to each other in a folding manner about a hinge section (6). When the first housing (3) and the second housing (5) are opened and closed relative to each other on the hinge section (6), a front surface-side corner of a first affixed plate (7) (front surface-side corner of the first display device (2)) and a front surface-side corner of a second affixed plate (8) (front surface-side corner of the second display device (4)) are, in a side view, moved in a rectilinear path relative to the hinge section (6) with the front surface-side corners in contact with each other. As a result, the opening and closing operation can be performed smoothly with the front surfaces of the display devices made to continue with each other.

A tool for dragging wooden shipping pallets along the ground comprises a wheel-mounted base member that has an elongated handle attached to it. The base member supports a pair of jaw members that is pivotally joined to one another along with a pair of linkages pivotally joined at one end to the base member and at the other ends to the end portions of the jaw members. A tension spring is connected between the pivot points where the linkages join to the end portions of the jaw members to normally urge the jaws to be closed relative to one another. A cable or cord attaches at one end of the pivot joint between the two jaw members and extends along the length of the handle to a pull knob. Tension on the cable or cord acts against the force of the spring to open the jaw members.

To provide, in a portable terminal such as a cellular phone, especially of a foldable type, a hinge for portable terminal that not only has both functions of allowing a second casing having a display portion to open/close relative to a first casing having a keyboard portion and allowing the second casing to turn relative to the first casing in a direction perpendicular to the opening/closing direction, but also is capable of preventing external leakage of a lubricating oil and is formed to be as compact as possible so that a mounting space can be saved. The hinge for portable terminal is a hinge coupling a first casing having a keyboard portion and a second casing having a display portion to each other, including: a rotary hinge part to which the first casing is coupled to be turnable relative to the second casing; and an opening/closing hinge part to which the second casing is coupled to be openable/closable relative to the first casing, wherein: the rotary hinge part has a fixed member attached to the first casing and a rotary member attached to the fixed member with a turn thereof being controlled via a first cam mechanism; the opening/closing hinge part is provided in the rotary member and has an opening/closing member which is rotatably mounted with a rotation thereof being controlled to be in a perpendicular direction to a direction of the turn of the rotary hinge part via a second cam mechanism and to which an end portion of the second casing is coupled; and the rotary hinge part operates from an instant when the opening/closing hinge part reaches a predetermined angle.

A tool case has a body, at least one baffle and a positioning device. The body has a recess with a bottom and multiple cavities defined in the bottom of the recess to hold tools. The at least one baffle is pivotally attached to the body with a pivot pin, is selectively received in the recess and covers the cavities in the body. The positioning device is mounted in the inner surface of the cavity to hold the at least one baffle closed relative to the body. Accordingly, the tools can be held in the cavities by the at least one baffle, and forming a positioning device in each cavity is unnecessary. Consequently, removing the tools from the cavities is easy and convenient.
