It is comprised so that the one side part (longitudinal side surface located in the back | inner side in FIG. 4) of the said main-body part (1st member 1) can be connected to one side part in abutting state.

この本体部と連結基体3との連結は、双方の重合部分である互いの側面部に第二連結部13及び第一連結部12を付設し、この第一連結部12と第二連結部13とをスライド自在に抜け止め係合し、第一連結部12の長さ方向に第二連結部13を(相対的に)スライドさせることで、本体部に対して重合部をスライド自在に開閉できるように構成している。また、この本体部と重合部とをスライド自在に連結するスライド装置部Sは、本体部の操作部4(第一操作部4A)を重合部で隠蔽した重合閉塞位置と、重合部を位置ズレするように前後方向へスライド移動させて操作部4(第一操作部4A)を露出させたスライド開放位置とで位置決め保持(クリック係合)するように構成している。   The main body portion and the connection base 3 are connected by attaching the second connection portion 13 and the first connection portion 12 to the side surfaces of the overlapping portions of the main body portion and the first connection portion 12 and the second connection portion 13. Can be slidably engaged with each other, and the second connecting portion 13 can be slid relative to the length of the first connecting portion 12, so that the overlapping portion can be opened and closed with respect to the main body portion. It is configured as follows. In addition, the slide device portion S for slidably connecting the main body portion and the overlapping portion is configured such that the overlapping position where the operation portion 4 (first operation portion 4A) of the main body portion is concealed by the overlapping portion and the overlapping portion are misaligned. In this way, it is configured to be positioned and held (click-engaged) at the slide open position where the operation unit 4 (first operation unit 4A) is exposed by sliding in the front-rear direction.

このスライド装置部Sについて更に具体的に説明すると、長さ方向にガイド部14を有しガイドレールとして前記連結基体3に固定する第一連結部12と、この第一連結部12にスライド自在に抜け止め係合するスライド体として前記第一部材1(本体部)に固定し得る第二連結部13とから成り、前記第一連結部12のスライド面12Aに沿ってスライドする係合突部15を形成したスライド板部16を前記第二連結部13に設け、この係合突部15が係合して前記第一連結部12に対する前記第二連結部13のスライド位置が係合保持される係合孔17を、前記第一連結部12のスライド面12Aに形成した構成としている。   The slide device portion S will be described in more detail. A first connection portion 12 having a guide portion 14 in the length direction and fixed to the connection base 3 as a guide rail, and slidable on the first connection portion 12. An engaging protrusion 15 that slides along the slide surface 12A of the first connecting portion 12 and includes a second connecting portion 13 that can be fixed to the first member 1 (main body portion) as a slide body that engages with the retaining portion. The slide plate portion 16 having the above-described shape is provided in the second connecting portion 13, and the engaging projection 15 is engaged to hold the sliding position of the second connecting portion 13 with respect to the first connecting portion 12. The engagement hole 17 is formed in the slide surface 12A of the first connecting portion 12.

また、前記第一連結部12は、図2に示すような帯板状のガイドレールであって、板材の両側縁を内側へ折曲し(かぎ状あるいはカール状に折曲しても良く、また折曲先端部を内側に傾斜させてアギ状としても良い。)、この両側縁の長さ方向に形成された折り返し部をガイド部14とすると共に側方へ抜け止め機能を果たすようにし、平坦部をガイド面4Aとするガイドレールに構成し、前記第二連結部13は、この第一連結部12の前記ガイド部14をガイドとしてこの第一連結部12にスライド自在に抜け止め係合する短尺板状のスライド体として構成している。   Further, the first connecting portion 12 is a strip-like guide rail as shown in FIG. 2, and the both side edges of the plate material are bent inward (a hook or a curl may be bent, In addition, the bent tip portion may be inclined inwardly to form an elbow.), The folded portion formed in the length direction of both side edges is used as a guide portion 14 and performs a function of preventing the side from coming off, The flat part is configured as a guide rail having a guide surface 4A, and the second connecting part 13 is slidably engaged with the first connecting part 12 with the guide part 14 of the first connecting part 12 as a guide. It is configured as a short plate-like slide body.

即ち、ガイドレールとして構成した第一連結部12は、両側縁に抜け止めガイド機能を有する折り返し状のガイド部14(抜け止め係合部となる)を有し、側方にスライド用開放部を有し、この第一連結部12の一端からガイド部14間に第二連結部13をスライド挿入してスライド自在に抜け止め係合するように構成している。   That is, the first connecting portion 12 configured as a guide rail has a folded-back guide portion 14 (to become a retaining engagement portion) having a retaining guide function on both side edges, and a slide opening portion on the side. The second connecting portion 13 is slidably inserted between the guide portion 14 from one end of the first connecting portion 12, and is slidably engaged with the stopper.

また、本実施例の第二連結部13は、両側縁を直角に折曲した後その折曲先端を外側へ水平折曲し、この水平折曲部を前記折り返し状のガイド部14にスライド自在に重合抜け止め係合することにより、第二連結部13の主体部が第一連結部12のスライド面12Aより側方へ突出した状態となるように構成している。   Further, the second connecting portion 13 of the present embodiment bends both side edges at a right angle, then horizontally folds the bent tip outward, and the horizontal bent portion is slidable on the folded guide portion 14. Thus, the main portion of the second connecting portion 13 is configured to protrude from the slide surface 12A of the first connecting portion 12 to the side.

この第二連結部13の主体部が盛り上がった状態となることで、この第二連結部13を第二部材2に固定するための固定部、例えばネジ止め用のタップの形成などが容易となると共にスライド板部16の介在スペースを確保できることとなる。   Since the main portion of the second connecting portion 13 is raised, it is easy to form a fixing portion for fixing the second connecting portion 13 to the second member 2, for example, a tap for screwing. At the same time, an intervening space for the slide plate portion 16 can be secured.

また、本実施例ではこの第二連結部13の重合側にスライド方向に係止状態に板状のスライド板部16を介在し、第二連結部13と共にこのスライド板部16が一緒に移動するように構成している。具体的には第二連結部13に形成した二ヶ所の係止部18(タップ部18)間にスライド板部16を配設して第二連結部13に固定しないものの第二連結部13と共に移動するように構成している。   Further, in this embodiment, a plate-like slide plate portion 16 is interposed in a sliding state in the sliding direction on the overlapping side of the second connection portion 13, and the slide plate portion 16 moves together with the second connection portion 13. It is configured as follows. Specifically, the slide plate portion 16 is disposed between the two locking portions 18 (tap portions 18) formed in the second connecting portion 13 and is not fixed to the second connecting portion 13, but with the second connecting portion 13 It is configured to move.

そして、この板材で形成したスライド板部16の中央をスライド面12A側へ折曲突出させて後述する介在補助板部19の開口部20に係合するように構成し、この開口部20に係合する湾曲部の中央を更に湾曲させて小突部を形成して、このスライド板部16に弾性のある係合突部15を形成し、このスライド板部16は前記第一連結部12と第二連結部13とをスライド自在に係合した際この第一連結部12と第二連結部13との間に介在して第二連結部13の(相対的な)スライド移動と共に第一連結部12のスライド面12Aに前記係合突部15を弾圧当接しながらスライド移動するように構成している。   Then, the center of the slide plate portion 16 formed of this plate material is bent and protruded toward the slide surface 12A so as to be engaged with an opening portion 20 of an intervening auxiliary plate portion 19 described later. The center of the curved portion to be joined is further curved to form a small protrusion, and an elastic engagement protrusion 15 is formed on the slide plate portion 16, and the slide plate portion 16 is connected to the first connecting portion 12. When the second connecting portion 13 is slidably engaged, the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 are interposed between the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 together with the (relative) sliding movement of the second connecting portion 13. The engaging projection 15 is slidably moved while being pressed against the sliding surface 12A of the portion 12.

また、この係合突部15が係合して前記第一連結部12に対する前記第二連結部13のスライド位置を係合保持する係合孔17を前記第一連結部12のスライド面12Aに形成している(図6,図7参照。)。本実施例では、この係合孔17をスライド面12Aの間隔を置いた二箇所に形成し、この二箇所の係合孔17に係合突部15が係合した状態が、前記重合閉塞位置でのクリック係合状態と、前記スライド開放位置でのクリック係合状態となるように設定構成している。   Further, an engagement hole 17 that engages and holds the sliding position of the second connecting portion 13 with respect to the first connecting portion 12 by engaging with the engaging protrusion 15 is formed in the slide surface 12A of the first connecting portion 12. (See FIGS. 6 and 7). In this embodiment, the engagement holes 17 are formed at two locations with a gap between the slide surfaces 12A, and the engagement projections 15 are engaged with the engagement holes 17 at the two locations. And a click engagement state at the slide release position.

即ち、本実施例では、前述のようにガイドレールとなる第一連結部12の両側縁の先端が内側へ折り返されたガイド部14間に第二連結部13の水平折曲縁を係合し、第一連結部12の開放部から盛り上がった第二連結部13の主体部にこの第二部材2に取り付けるためのタップ部18を設け、この第一連結部12の重合側にタップ部18を係止部18としてこの係止部18間に係止して係合突部15を有するスライド板部16を配設し、このスライド板部16の係合突部15を介在補助板部19の開口部20に係合して開口部20から係合突部15を突出させると共に、この係合と介在補助板部19の端部での折り返し片によってスライド板部16と介在補助板部19とを係止させて、この第二連結部13の重合側にスライド板部16と介在補助板部19とを重合配設させ、スライドに対して一体化したものを第一連結部1の端部からスライド挿入して抜け止め係合する構成としている。   That is, in the present embodiment, as described above, the horizontal bent edges of the second connecting portion 13 are engaged between the guide portions 14 in which the tips of the both side edges of the first connecting portion 12 serving as guide rails are folded inward. The tap portion 18 for attaching to the second member 2 is provided on the main portion of the second connecting portion 13 raised from the open portion of the first connecting portion 12, and the tap portion 18 is provided on the overlapping side of the first connecting portion 12. A slide plate portion 16 having an engagement protrusion 15 is provided between the engagement portions 18 as an engagement portion 18, and the engagement protrusion 15 of the slide plate portion 16 is connected to the interposition auxiliary plate portion 19. The engaging protrusion 15 is projected from the opening 20 by engaging with the opening 20, and the slide plate portion 16 and the intervening auxiliary plate portion 19 are caused by this engagement and the folded piece at the end of the interposition auxiliary plate portion 19. The slide plate portion 16 and the intervening auxiliary plate portion 19 are overlapped on the overlapping side of the second connecting portion 13 and integrated with the slide. It is configured to retaining engagement omission by sliding insertion from the end of the first connection part 1.

従って、第一連結部12,第二連結部13も板材からのプレス加工で形成でき、スライド板部16も係合突部15,係合孔17もまた介在補助板部19もプレス加工によって形成できるため、部品点数も少なく製作も容易で、組み付けも前述のように例えば第一連結部12の一端からガイド部14間に、スライド板部16を裏側に配した第二連結部13と介在補助板部19とを重合してスライド挿入係合するだけで組み付けでき、コスト安にして製作も容易で量産性に極めて秀れることとなる。   Accordingly, the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 can also be formed by pressing from a plate material, and the slide plate portion 16, the engaging protrusion 15, the engaging hole 17, and the intervening auxiliary plate portion 19 are also formed by pressing. Because it is possible, the number of parts is small and the manufacture is easy. As described above, for example, the second connecting part 13 with the slide plate part 16 arranged on the back side between the one end of the first connecting part 12 and the guide part 14 and the interposition auxiliary It can be assembled simply by superposing the plate portion 19 and slidingly inserting and engaging it, and it is easy to manufacture at a low cost and extremely excellent in mass productivity.

また、本実施例では、スライド時には、スライド板部16の係合突部15が開口部20を介してスライド面12Aにスライド当接するだけでなく、介在補助板部19もスライド面12Aに当接するため介在補助板部19によるスライド抵抗も更に生じることとなる。それ故、係合突部15を強くスライド面12Aに圧接しなくても介在補助板部19を介在させることによるスライド抵抗も生じるためフリーストップを実現できる十分なスライド抵抗を確保でき、しかも、係合突部15一点での圧接ではないため、スライド面12Aが十分に滑らかでなくてもスライド抵抗が生じる部分が広くあるいは複数あるいは分散しているためフリーストップ実現のためトータルのスライド抵抗を大きくしてもスムーズにスライド移動でき、またそれ故係合突部15を強く圧接しなくてもよいから、係合突部15が係合孔17に係合した状態から離脱させてスライドさせるときも、強い力が必要とならず、この意味でもスムーズにスライド移動できることとなる構成としている。   Further, in this embodiment, at the time of sliding, the engaging projection 15 of the slide plate portion 16 not only slides on the slide surface 12A via the opening 20, but also the intervening auxiliary plate portion 19 contacts the slide surface 12A. Therefore, slide resistance due to the intervening auxiliary plate portion 19 is further generated. Therefore, even if the engaging protrusion 15 is not strongly pressed against the sliding surface 12A, sliding resistance is caused by interposing the auxiliary auxiliary plate portion 19, so that sufficient sliding resistance that can realize a free stop can be secured. Since the contact point 15 is not a single pressure contact, even if the slide surface 12A is not sufficiently smooth, there are many or multiple or dispersed parts where slide resistance occurs, so the total slide resistance is increased to achieve a free stop. Even if the engagement projection 15 does not need to be pressed strongly, the engagement projection 15 can be moved away from the engagement hole 17 and slid. A strong force is not required, and in this sense, the sliding movement can be performed smoothly.

次に、連結装置Rを上述のように構成した本実施例の作動を説明する。   Next, the operation of this embodiment in which the connecting device R is configured as described above will be described.

第一部材1と第二部材2とが重合した状態では、操作部4(第一操作部4A)が露出せず、ディスプレイ部5(第一ディスプレイ部5A)だけが表出した閉塞状態となっている(図1参照。)。   In the state where the first member 1 and the second member 2 are superposed, the operation unit 4 (first operation unit 4A) is not exposed, and only the display unit 5 (first display unit 5A) is exposed. (See FIG. 1).

第一ディスプレイ部5Aで利用可能な機能を操作する際(縦画面機能使用時)は、図3に示すように、スライド装置部Sを介して第一部材1に対しこの第一部材1の前後方向(長さ方向の延長方向)へ第二部材2をスライド移動させると(図3中矢印のように第二連結部13に対して連結基体3(第一連結部12)をスライド移動させると)、縦画面方向とした第一ディスプレイ部5Aの下方に、電話機能などを使用するための数字キーなどが配列された通常の操作部4(第一操作部4A)が露出する。   When operating the functions available on the first display unit 5A (when using the vertical screen function), as shown in FIG. 3, the front and rear of the first member 1 with respect to the first member 1 via the slide device unit S When the second member 2 is slid in the direction (extending direction in the length direction) (the connection base 3 (first connection portion 12) is slid relative to the second connection portion 13 as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 3). ), The normal operation unit 4 (first operation unit 4A) on which numeric keys for using the telephone function and the like are arranged is exposed below the first display unit 5A in the vertical screen direction.

また、第二ディスプレイ部5Bで利用可能な機能を操作する際(横画面機能使用時)は、図4に示すように、第一部材1と第二部材2とが重合した状態から、図4中矢印のようにヒンジ装置部Hを介して第一部材1に対し第二部材2を起動回動させると、第二部材2下側面の第二ディスプレイ部5Bと第一部材1上側面の第二操作部4Bとが露出し、横画面方向とした第二ディスプレイ部5Bの下方に、キーボード(第二操作部4B)が配置する。また、この際、前記第一操作部4Aも露出するので、この第一操作部4Aに、横画面機能の操作キーを割り当てるようにすることも可能である。   Further, when operating functions available on the second display unit 5B (when the horizontal screen function is used), as shown in FIG. 4, the first member 1 and the second member 2 are overlapped, as shown in FIG. When the second member 2 is activated and rotated with respect to the first member 1 via the hinge device portion H as shown by the middle arrow, the second display portion 5B on the lower side surface of the second member 2 and the first side surface on the upper side of the first member 1 are changed. The keyboard (second operation unit 4B) is disposed below the second display unit 5B with the second operation unit 4B exposed and in the horizontal screen direction. At this time, since the first operation unit 4A is also exposed, it is possible to assign an operation key for a horizontal screen function to the first operation unit 4A.

このように本実施例は、利用したい機能に応じて二通りの使用態様を切り替えて使用することが可能である。   As described above, this embodiment can be used by switching between two usage modes according to the function to be used.

即ち、例えば、略長方形状の第一ディスプレイ部5Aの長さ方向の延長方向に数字キーなどの第一操作部4が露出して、縦長の第一ディスプレイ部5Aの下方に第一操作部4Aが位置することになる電話機能などの操作に適した使用態様(縦画面機能使用時)と、第二ディスプレイ部5Bと第二操作部4Bとが露出して横長の第二ディスプレイ部5Bの下方に第二操作部4Bが位置することになるキーボードタイピングなどの操作に適した使用態様(横画面機能使用時)とを、切り替えて使用できる携帯電話を簡易に設計実現可能となる。   That is, for example, the first operation unit 4 such as a numeric key is exposed in the extension direction in the length direction of the substantially rectangular first display unit 5A, and the first operation unit 4A is below the vertically long first display unit 5A. Use mode (when using the vertical screen function) suitable for operations such as a telephone function where the user is positioned, and the second display unit 5B and the second operation unit 4B are exposed and below the horizontally long second display unit 5B. In addition, it is possible to easily design and realize a mobile phone that can be used by switching between the usage mode (when the horizontal screen function is used) suitable for operations such as keyboard typing where the second operation unit 4B is located.

尚、本発明は、本実施例に限られるものではなく、ヒンジ装置部Hやスライド装置部Sなど各構成要件の具体的構成は適宜設計し得るものである。   Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component such as the hinge device portion H and the slide device portion S can be designed as appropriate.
