この特許文献１に記載された携帯機器は、スライドカバーとロックプレートとを重ね合わせて固着したスライドケースを第２筐体の下面に取り付けると共に、スライドケース内に摺動可能に収装したスライダーを第１筐体の上面に取り付けることで、第２筐体を第１筐体に対してスライドさせることができるという構成のものであった。このような構成であると、第１筐体と第２筐体との相対的操作、即ち、スライド操作は全て手動で行わなくてはならず、操作性の点で難点があった。このため、本出願人は先に、半自動でスライド操作を行える携帯機器を提案した。   In the portable device described in Patent Document 1, a slide case in which a slide cover and a lock plate are overlapped and fixed is attached to the lower surface of the second housing, and a slider slidably accommodated in the slide case is provided. The second casing can be slid with respect to the first casing by being attached to the upper surface of the first casing. With such a configuration, the relative operation between the first housing and the second housing, that is, the sliding operation must be performed manually, which is difficult in terms of operability. For this reason, the present applicant has previously proposed a portable device capable of semi-automatic slide operation.

この携帯機器は、例えば、第１筐体の上面に取り付けられるベース部材と、このベース部材に摺動可能に係合されたスライダーと、ベース部材とスライダーとの間に設けられ、スライダーをベース部材に対する所定の摺動位置から閉成方向及び又は開成方向へ摺動付勢させる付勢手段とで構成されており、スライダーがベース部材に対する所定の摺動位置から閉成方向又は開成方向へ摺動付勢されるので、第１筐体と第２筐体とを所定の位置から自動的に開閉できるものである。しかし、第１筐体に対して第２筐体が長手方向に側面視直線状つまり平行にスライド移動して開成状態となると、使用し難く使い勝手が悪いことがあった。すなわち、開成状態時、第１筐体と第２筐体とが略平行に位置されているために、例えば、第１筐体を机等の上に置いた場合には、第２筐体のディスプレイに表示された画像が見にくく、使い勝手が悪かった。   The portable device is provided, for example, between a base member attached to the upper surface of the first housing, a slider slidably engaged with the base member, and the base member and the slider. And a biasing means for slidably biasing from a predetermined sliding position to the closing direction and / or the opening direction, and the slider slides from the predetermined sliding position relative to the base member to the closing direction or the opening direction. Since it is biased, the first housing and the second housing can be automatically opened and closed from a predetermined position. However, when the second casing is slid in the longitudinal direction in a straight line shape, that is, parallel to the first casing to be in the open state, it may be difficult to use and unusable. That is, since the first housing and the second housing are positioned substantially in parallel in the opened state, for example, when the first housing is placed on a desk or the like, the second housing It was difficult to see the image displayed on the display, and the usability was bad.

本発明は、前記課題を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的は、使い勝手が向上する携帯機器を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a portable device with improved usability.

Further, when the slider member 8 is slid with respect to the base member 7 so as to change from the closed state to the open state, the urging force applied to the distal end portion of the swivel arm 91 in the middle of the slide, for example, in the neutral state turns. It may act in the direction of the pivot axis of the arm 91. In this neutral state, the biasing force of the spiral spring 92 does not act on the slider member 8. From this state, the slider member 8 moves slightly toward the open state. Then, the free end portion of the turning arm 91 is positioned on the near side of the turning axis of the turning arm 91, and the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are configured to be biased so as to be in an open state. ing.

The rotation hole 12c is formed with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the rotation support portion 11c. The bracket 12 is rotatably supported around the rotation support portion 11c of the shaft 11 through the rotation hole 12c of the rotation portion 12b. Washers 15 and 16 are provided on the rotation support portions 11c before and after the rotation portion 12b of the bracket 12, respectively. That is, a washer 15 is provided between the base portion 11a of the shaft 11 and the rotating portion 12b of the bracket 12, and between the rotating portion 12b of the bracket 12 and a disc spring 13 to be described later. A washer 16 is provided at the tip of the rotation support portion 11c that is the outside of the spring 13 (the side opposite to the washer 15). The through holes 15a and 16a of these washers 15 and 16 are formed in a shape slightly larger than the shape of the rotation support portion 11c, and the washers 15 and 16 are movable in the axial direction of the rotation support portion 11c. However, it is provided so that it cannot rotate. The distal end portion of the rotation support portion 11c protrudes from the washer 16, the protruding portion is caulked, and the bracket 12 is rotatably supported by the shaft 11.

回動手段６には、ブラケット１２の回動部１２ｂをシャフト１１の基部１１ａに押し付けて（実際にはワッシャー１５を介して押し付けて）フリクションを発生させるフリクション部材が設けられていることが好ましい。フリクション部材としては、特に限定されず、例えば、皿バネ１３等であることが好ましい。皿バネ１３は、例えば、ブラケット１２の回動部１２ｂと先端部側のワッシャー１６との間、実際にはワッシャー１５とワッシャー１６との間の回動支持部１１ｃの軸周りに設けられていることが好ましい。これにより、ブラケット１２の回動部１２ｂがシャフト１１の基部１１ａに押し付けられてフリクションが発生し、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３を回転させて起き上がらせ、その回転を止めたとき、任意の位置の起き上がり角度で第２筐体３が停止するようになっている。 The rotating means 6 is preferably provided with a friction member that generates friction by pressing the rotating portion 12b of the bracket 12 against the base portion 11a of the shaft 11 (actually pressing it through the washer 15). The friction member is not particularly limited, and is preferably a disc spring 13 or the like, for example. The disc spring 13 is provided, for example, between the rotating portion 12b of the bracket 12 and the washer 16 on the distal end side, and actually around the axis of the rotating support portion 11c between the washer 15 and the washer 16. It is preferable. As a result, the rotating portion 12b of the bracket 12 is pressed against the base portion 11a of the shaft 11, and friction is generated. The second housing 3 is rotated with respect to the first housing 2 to rise, and the rotation is stopped. At this time, the second housing 3 stops at a rising angle at an arbitrary position .

また、第１筐体２及び第２筐体３のいずれか一方の筐体、例えば、第２筐体３に、第１筐体２及び第２筐体３のいずれか他方の筐体、例えば、第１筐体２に係合して第１筐体２に対する第２筐体３の回動を規制する規制部が設けられていることが好ましい。規制部としては、特に限定されず、例えば、第２筐体３の下面であって手前側の端部近傍に下方に突出する凸部３５等であってもよい。凸部３５は、閉成状態及び閉成状態から開成状態の直前までの間で第１筐体２の上面に接触して第１筐体２に対する第２筐体３の回動が規制されるように形成されている。   Further, one of the first housing 2 and the second housing 3, for example, the second housing 3, and the other housing of the first housing 2 and the second housing 3, for example, It is preferable that a restricting portion that engages with the first housing 2 and restricts the rotation of the second housing 3 with respect to the first housing 2 is provided. The restricting portion is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a convex portion 35 that protrudes downward near the end on the near side on the lower surface of the second housing 3. The convex portion 35 is in contact with the upper surface of the first housing 2 between the closed state and the closed state until immediately before the open state, and the rotation of the second housing 3 with respect to the first housing 2 is restricted. It is formed as follows.

また、第１筐体２の上面には、回動許容部２５が設けられていることが好ましい。回動許容部は、第１筐体２及び第２筐体３を閉成状態から互いにスライドさせて開成状態になったとき、第１筐体２及び第２筐体３の回転を許容すると共に、第１筐体２に対する第２筐体３が所定の角度例えば回動角度が４０°になったとき、その回転を停止するものである。回動許容部２５は、例えば、第１筐体２の上面に凹状に形成されている。すなわち、第１筐体２及び第２筐体３が互いにスライドしてスライド開成状態になったとき、第２筐体３の凸部３５が接する位置に凹状の回動許容部２５を設けて、第２筐体３が回動し得るようにすることが好ましい。また、この回動許容部２５は、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３が回動角度４０°になると、その回動が停止するようなストッパ部（図示せず）を有することが好ましい。これにより、第１筐体２及び第２筐体３が閉成状態から互いにスライドして開成状態になると、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３をシャフト１１を軸に回転させてその回動角度が４０°になると回転が停止されて開成回動状態となるように構成されている。   In addition, it is preferable that a rotation permission portion 25 is provided on the upper surface of the first housing 2. The rotation permission unit allows the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 to rotate when the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are slid from each other to the opened state. When the second housing 3 with respect to the first housing 2 reaches a predetermined angle, for example, a rotation angle of 40 °, the rotation is stopped. For example, the rotation allowing portion 25 is formed in a concave shape on the upper surface of the first housing 2. That is, when the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 slide to each other and are in the slide open state, the concave rotation allowing portion 25 is provided at a position where the convex portion 35 of the second housing 3 comes into contact, It is preferable that the second housing 3 can be rotated. Further, the rotation allowing portion 25 has a stopper portion (not shown) that stops the rotation when the second housing 3 has a rotation angle of 40 ° with respect to the first housing 2. Is preferred. As a result, when the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 slide from each other to the open state, the second housing 3 is rotated about the shaft 11 with respect to the first housing 2. When the rotation angle reaches 40 °, the rotation is stopped and the opening rotation state is established.

次に本発明に係る携帯機器の作用を説明する。   Next, the operation of the mobile device according to the present invention will be described.

携帯機器１が使用されていない通常の状態では、第１筐体２と第２筐体３が互いに重なり合った閉成状態である。このとき、渦巻きバネ９２の付勢力によって、旋回アーム９１の自由端部がスライダー部材８の向こう側（前方側）に付勢されてスライド部材７３がスライド凹部８１の閉塞端部に当接し、ベース部材７とスライダー部材８とが係止されているので、第１筐体２と第２筐体３とが互いに重なり合った閉成状態に保持されることになる。なお、この閉成状態をより確実に維持するために、ロック機構を設けるようにしてもよい。   In a normal state in which the portable device 1 is not used, the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are in a closed state where they overlap each other. At this time, the urging force of the spiral spring 92 urges the free end of the swivel arm 91 to the far side (front side) of the slider member 8, and the slide member 73 comes into contact with the closed end of the slide recess 81. Since the member 7 and the slider member 8 are locked, the first casing 2 and the second casing 3 are held in a closed state where they overlap each other. In order to maintain this closed state more reliably, a lock mechanism may be provided.

この携帯機器１を使用する場合には、例えば、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３がスライドして開成状態になるように第２筐体３に力を作用させる。すなわち、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３を開成方向に力を作用させてスライドさせる。すると、旋回アーム９１は旋回シャフト９５を軸に回動する。このとき、渦巻きバネ９２は、スライドさせるときの力が作用して渦巻きバネ９２が荷重を受けてその付勢力に抗して周方向に伸びる。 When using the portable device 1, for example, a force is applied to the second housing 3 so that the second housing 3 slides with respect to the first housing 2 to be in an open state. That is, the second casing 3 is slid by applying force to the first casing 2 in the opening direction. Then, the turning arm 91 rotates around the turning shaft 95 . At this time, the spiral spring 92 is stretched in the circumferential direction against the urging force by receiving a load due to the sliding force.

そして、中立状態になると（図８参照。）、渦巻きバネ９２による旋回アーム９１の自由端部にかかる付勢力が旋回シャフト９５の方向に作用すると、スライド部材７３にはスライド方向の付勢力がなくなる。すなわち、スライド力が０になる。この中立状態を過ぎると、旋回アーム９１の軸支点（旋回シャフト９５の中心）とその自由端部との位置が相対的に逆になり、旋回シャフト９５を中心にして渦巻きバネ９２によって旋回アーム９１の自由端部が旋回シャフト９５から離間する方向に付勢されるので、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３が開成方向に自動的にスライド移動して開成状態となる。なお、開成状態となったとき、第１筐体２及び第２筐体３のスライドが停止するように第１筐体２及び第２筐体３にスライド規制部を設けるようにすることが望ましい。 When the neutral state is reached (see FIG. 8), when the biasing force applied to the free end portion of the swing arm 91 by the spiral spring 92 acts in the direction of the swing shaft 95 , the slide member 73 has no biasing force in the sliding direction. . That is, the sliding force becomes zero. When the neutral state is passed, the position of the pivot fulcrum (center of the pivot shaft 95 ) of the pivot arm 91 and the free end thereof are relatively reversed, and the pivot arm 91 is rotated by the spiral spring 92 around the pivot shaft 95. Since the free end of the second casing 3 is biased in the direction away from the turning shaft 95 , the second casing 3 automatically slides in the opening direction with respect to the first casing 2 to be in the opened state. In addition, it is desirable to provide a slide restricting portion in the first casing 2 and the second casing 3 so that the sliding of the first casing 2 and the second casing 3 stops when the opened state is reached. .

この開成状態においても、渦巻きバネ９２の付勢力によって、旋回アーム９１の自由端部がスライダー部材８の手前側に付勢されるので、第１筐体２と第２筐体３とが開成状態に保持されることになる。これにより、第１筐体２の上面に設けたキーボードが露出するので、キーボード操作が可能となる。なお、この開成状態をより確実に維持するために、ロック機構を設けるようにしてもよい。よって、閉成状態から開成状態にスライド移動させるときにセミオートでスライド動作を行えることになる。   Even in this open state, the free end of the swivel arm 91 is biased toward the front side of the slider member 8 by the biasing force of the spiral spring 92, so that the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are in the open state. Will be held. As a result, the keyboard provided on the upper surface of the first housing 2 is exposed, and the keyboard can be operated. In order to maintain this open state more reliably, a lock mechanism may be provided. Therefore, the slide operation can be performed semi-automatically when sliding from the closed state to the open state.

このとき、第２筐体３のディスプレイ３１が見難いときには、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３を回転させる。すなわち、開成状態のときには、第２筐体３の凸部３５が回動許容部２５上に位置されるために、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３が回動可能であるので、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３をシャフト１１を軸に回転させてその回動角度が４０°になるまで回動できる。回動途中で回動を停止させると、皿バネ１３によりブラケット１２の回動部１２ｂがシャフト１１の基部１１ａに押し付けられてフリクションが発生しているので、第１筐体２に対する第２筐体３がその回転を止めた位置に保持される。その結果、ディスプレイ３１の起き上がり角度を任意の角度に変えられるために、ディスプレイ３１に表示された画像を見やすい状態でキーボード操作等を行えるので、使い勝手が向上する。 At this time, when it is difficult to see the display 31 of the second housing 3, the second housing 3 is rotated with respect to the first housing 2. That is, in the opened state, the convex portion 35 of the second housing 3 is positioned on the rotation allowing portion 25, so that the second housing 3 can rotate with respect to the first housing 2. The second housing 3 can be rotated with respect to the first housing 2 around the shaft 11 until the rotation angle becomes 40 °. If the rotation is stopped in the middle of the rotation, the rotating portion 12b of the bracket 12 is pressed against the base portion 11a of the shaft 11 by the disc spring 13, and friction is generated. 3 is held at the position where the rotation is stopped. As a result, since the rising angle of the display 31 can be changed to an arbitrary angle, a keyboard operation or the like can be performed in an easy-to-see state on the image displayed on the display 31, so that the usability is improved.

使用後、閉成状態に戻すには、第２筐体３を第１筐体２に対して回転させて水平状態に戻した後に、第２筐体３を第１筐体２に対して開成状態から閉成状態へとスライドさせると、渦巻きバネ９２が付勢力に抗して周方向に伸びる。中立状態を過ぎて、旋回アーム９１の軸支点とその自由端部との位置が相対的に逆になると、旋回シャフト９５を中心にして渦巻きバネ９２の付勢力によって第２筐体３及び第１筐体２が閉成方向に付勢される。その結果、第１筐体２に対して第２筐体３が閉成方向に自動的にスライド移動し、スライド部材７３がスライド凹部８１の閉塞端部に当接して閉成状態となる。よって、開成状態から閉成状態にスライド移動させるときにセミオートでスライド動作を行えることになる。 To return to the closed state after use, the second housing 3 is rotated with respect to the first housing 2 and returned to the horizontal state , and then the second housing 3 is opened with respect to the first housing 2. When sliding from the closed state to the closed state, the spiral spring 92 extends in the circumferential direction against the biasing force. When the neutral state is passed and the position of the pivot point of the swivel arm 91 and the free end thereof are relatively reversed, the second housing 3 and the first housing 3 are biased by the urging force of the spiral spring 92 around the swivel shaft 95 . The housing 2 is biased in the closing direction. As a result, the second housing 3 automatically slides in the closing direction with respect to the first housing 2, and the slide member 73 comes into contact with the closed end portion of the slide recess 81 and enters the closed state. Therefore, the slide operation can be performed semi-automatically when sliding from the open state to the closed state.

したがって、本発明に係る携帯機器１は、セミオートで開閉を行うことができると共に第１筐体２に対する第２筐体３の角度を変えられるので、使い勝手がよいものである。   Therefore, the portable device 1 according to the present invention can be opened / closed semi-automatically and the angle of the second housing 3 with respect to the first housing 2 can be changed.

また、旋回アーム９１、渦巻きバネ９２、皿バネ１３等を用いてセミオートでスライド動作を行うと共に回動動作を行うので、部品点数が少なくて済み、コスト削減及び小型化を図ることが可能となる。また、渦巻きバネ９２の弾性特性等と旋回アーム９１の位置及び長さを変えることにより、様々なスライド動作を設定することができる。例えば、閉成状態及び開成状態における付勢手段９の付勢力を増大させることにより、閉成状態及び開成状態を維持する力を上げることができ、確実に閉成状態及び開成状態を維持することができることになる。   Further, since the slide operation is performed semi-automatically using the swing arm 91, the spiral spring 92, the disc spring 13 and the like, and the rotation operation is performed, the number of parts can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced and the size can be reduced. . Various sliding operations can be set by changing the elastic characteristics of the spiral spring 92 and the position and length of the swivel arm 91. For example, by increasing the urging force of the urging means 9 in the closed state and the open state, the force for maintaining the closed state and the open state can be increased, and the closed state and the open state can be reliably maintained. Will be able to.

以上説明したように本発明に係る携帯機器は、セミオート手段及び回動手段を備えたことにより、第１筐体に対して第２筐体が所定の位置から自動的に開閉するために、第１筐体及び第２筐体をセミオートで自動的にスライドさせることができると共に、開成状態のとき、第１筐体に対して第２筐体が回動するために、第１筐体に対する第２筐体の角度を変えられるので、使い勝手が向上することから、特に携帯端末機に用いるものとして好適なものである。   As described above, the portable device according to the present invention includes the semi-auto means and the rotating means, so that the second housing automatically opens and closes from the predetermined position with respect to the first housing. The first housing and the second housing can be automatically slid in a semi-automatic manner, and the second housing rotates with respect to the first housing in the open state. Since the angle of the two housings can be changed, the usability is improved, so that it is particularly suitable for use in a portable terminal.
