20090007383 | SLIDE HINGE MODULE AND SLIDE TYPE EQUIPMENT UTILIZING THE SAME - A slide hinge module of a slide-type device, which includes: a hinge assembly, in which a connecting member having a locking part and a guide member having a guide part are foldably assembled with each other, and elastic force is exerted to the hinge assembly in a direction where the connecting member and the guide member are unfolded from each other by an elastic member; a slide member assembled with the guide part so as to slide, the slide member having one end at which a swing operating part is formed; and a swing member including a locking jaw which is rotatably installed at the guide member and is locked in the locking part or is released from the locking part according to a rotational angle, the swing member including a swing-trigger part, which is locked in the swing operating part according to a movement position of the slide member and is rotated so as to allow the locking jaw to be released from the locking part, or is released from the swing operating part and is rotated in an inverse direction so as to allow the locking jaw to be locked in the locking part. While the slide member slides along the guide part, the locking jaw catches torque of a hinge spring so that large amounts of frictional force due to the hinge spring aren't generated between the guide member and slid member. Therefore, the slide member can smoothly slide. | 01-08-2009 |
20090029748 | SLIDING MECHANISM APPARATUS AND APPLIANCE INTEGRATED WITH THE SAME - Disclosed is a sliding mechanism apparatus used for slidably opening and closing a slider-type cellular phone. A guide member and a slider member are engaged with each other so as to enable to slide relative to each other. The end of one arm of a first torsion spring is connected to the slider member near the left edge thereof. The end of the other arm thereof is coupled to the right half area of the guide member. The end of one arm of a second torsion spring is connected to the slider member near the right edge thereof. The end of the other arm thereof is coupled to the left half area of the guide member. From the expanded original state of the first and second torsion springs, if an external force is exerted on the slider member or the guide member, the torsion springs are compressed into an acute angle and then spread again by means of the elastic force thereof. In this way, the slider member can move to the lowermost position or the lowermost position. In the first and second torsion springs, the distance between the ends of two arms is larger than at least half of the width of the slider member. Therefore, the first and second torsion springs can maximally utilize the width of the guide member while turning, thereby extending the maximum travel distance of the slider member. | 01-29-2009 |

20090036181 | COMBINED MECHANISM FOR SLIDING MOVEMENT AND ROTATING MOVEMENT AND A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE EMPLOYING THE SAME - Disclosed is a combined sliding and rotation mechanism adapted to a device. When the sliding housing enters into a sliding operation mode from a closed condition, the constraint tip of the base swing link escapes from the constraint recess of the sliding housing, and the guide protrusion of the base swing link simultaneously moves from a boundary point between the horizontal recess and the slanted recess of the rotation guide recess to a terminal point of the horizontal recess so that the sliding housing is constrained and prevented from rotating. In addition, when the sliding housing enters into a rotation operation mode from the closed condition, the pad of the hinge base slides from a lower end of the rotation sliding opening to an upper end of the rotation sliding opening, the guide protrusion of the base swing link simultaneously slides from a lower end of the slanted recess to an upper end of the slanted recess and allows the sliding housing to rotate relative to the main housing, and the constraint tip of the base swing link remains inserted into the constraint recess of the sliding housing during the rotation process so that the sliding housing is not allowed to slide in the longitudinal direction of the main housing. | 02-05-2009 |

Particularly, the sliding structure is applied to the coupling between the support and sliding members, and the pivot structure is applied to the sliding and pivot members to pivotably couple them to each other. The link connects the support and sliding members so that, as the pivot member pivots relative to the sliding member by means of the user's pivot force, the sliding member slides to the desired direction and distance from the support member while interlocking with the pivot movement. As a result, the pivot member slides while interlocking with the pivot movement. | 06-03-2010 |
