  By the way, the diversification of the design of mobile terminals and the expansion of functions are currently being promoted, and the direction and distance in which the casings slide are changed according to the configuration of the mobile terminal. In particular, when sliding the casings over a longer distance than the guide width, the casings may deviate from their proper positions during sliding due to the bias of the force applied when the user grips the casings. Further, there is a concern that rattling occurs due to the housings being caught in the guide grooves and the housings cannot be smoothly slid. For example, in the case of a configuration in which casings having a wide width dimension are slid in the vertical direction, guide grooves extending in the vertical direction are formed at both ends in the width direction. At this time, each guide groove becomes shorter than the dimension in the width direction of the housing. Then, when sliding, when sliding in the vertical direction along the guide groove, the sliding casing tilts, and the position guided by one guide groove and the relative position guided by the other guide groove shift. Therefore, the guide groove is likely to be caught. If rattling occurs when sliding the casings, it is difficult to operate the mobile terminal, and there is room for improvement in terms of reduced comfort during operation.

FIG. 9 is a plan view showing a state of the sliding means after sliding. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the mobile terminal showing a state after sliding. Here, FIG. 7 and FIG. 9 show the state of the surface of the first slide member 11 in plan view, and the second housing and the like are not shown in the drawings and are omitted for explaining the configuration of the slide means. is doing.

  As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the guide pieces 36 of the second slide member 31 are respectively in the state where the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are overlapped before being slid. The slide member 11 is located at the end on the slide direction side on the short side. At this time, the rotation end portions 23a and 23b of the pair of guide pieces 21a and 21b are located at the end portions of the escape grooves 12 on the sliding direction side.

  When sliding, the user pushes the entire second housing 3 along the length direction of the short side with respect to the surface (the upper surface in FIG. 8) of the first housing 2 on which the operation unit 5 is formed. Thus, the second housing 3 can be slid relative to the first housing 2. At the same time as the second housing 3 slides relative to the first housing 2, the first slide member 11 fixed to the second housing 3 slides relative to the second slide member 31. Then, the guide piece 36 of the second slide member 31 is relatively displaced toward the opposite end along the short side of the first slide member 1.

  Further, the first slide member 11 slides with respect to the second slide member 31, and the second slide member 31 causes the guide portions of the pair of guide pieces 21a and 21b to rotate on an arc. The pair of guide pieces 21a and 21b rotate in opposite directions with the rotation axes s1 and s2 fixed to the first slide member 11 as the centers of rotation. Since the ends of the pair of guide pieces 21a and 21b on which the shafts are supported are connected by the gear portions 22a and 22b engaged with each other, the pair of guide pieces 21a and 21b rotate with the same movement amount. To do. In other words, the guide portions that move along the pair of escape grooves 12 are in symmetrically equal positions with respect to the escape grooves 12 when the escape grooves 12 are viewed in a line-symmetric relationship. As described above, the guide pieces 21a and 21b move along a locus in which the rotation end portions provided with the guide portions are line-symmetric with respect to a straight line parallel to the slide direction when sliding. Here, the straight line parallel to the sliding direction is a line that passes through the center position of the position of the pair of rotating end portions and is parallel to the sliding direction (left-right direction in FIG. 7), and is line symmetric. A line that is the axis of symmetry.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, since the guide groove 32 is formed in the second slide member 31, when the guide part moves along the escape groove 12, the guide part 32 moves with respect to the sliding direction of the guide part. Therefore, movement in the vertical direction can be allowed.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the second housing 3 is slid with respect to the first housing 1, the guide piece 36 of the second slide member 31 is the first slide member at the end portion. 11 can be moved to a position where it comes into contact with the wall of the second housing 3 to which the 11 is fixed. At this time, the pair of guide pieces 21a and 21b are located at the end of the escape groove 12 opposite to the end located before the slide.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the user of the portable terminal 1 is in a state in which the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are overlapped, or as shown in FIGS. In many cases, the second casing 3 is slid with respect to the casing 2. Therefore, the portable terminal 1 of the present embodiment guides the guide portions of the pair of guide pieces 21a and 21b in order to maintain the positional relationship between the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 in each state. When it is located at both ends of the groove, it is locked by a biasing member.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the operation and action of the urging member. The urging member 14 has a curved shape in accordance with the behavior of the guide piece 21b, and the urging member is in a state where the locking portion 25 of the guide piece 21b is in contact with the curved portion of the urging member 14. 14 is subjected to the repulsive force of the pressurizing spring constituting 14. Further, both end portions of the urging member 14 are gently curved toward the side away from the circular locus on which the locking portion 25 moves around the rotation axis s2 of the guide piece 21b. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (c), when the guide piece 21b is shifted from the state where the guide pieces 21b are located at both ends, as shown in FIG. It is necessary to apply a force to push the end of the urging member 14 over the engaging portion 25 and push it toward the bending portion. For this reason, in the state where the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are overlapped or the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are slid, the direction in which the guide piece 21b is separated from the end portion. The first slide member 11 and the second slide member 31 can be restricted from sliding relative to each other. Thus, the portable terminal 1 is used in a state where the first casing 2 and the second casing 3 of the portable terminal 1 are overlapped and the second casing 3 is slid with respect to the first casing 2. In this case, it is possible to prevent the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 from sliding unexpectedly.

  The configuration of the urging member 14 is not limited to the shape as described above, and any other shape can be used as long as one of the pair of guide pieces 21a and 21b can be locked at the end of the escape groove 12. It is good.

  FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a modification of the urging member. In addition, in FIG. 12, the state which planarly viewed the 1st slide member 11 from the back surface side is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the biasing member is provided with a pair of coil springs 54a and 54b on the second slide member, hooks one end of the coil springs 54a and 54b on the guide pins 24a and 24b, and the other end. By fixing to the 2nd slide member 31, it is set as the structure which applies the urging | biasing force which pulls the guide pins 24a and 24b to the center side of both. As shown in FIG. 12A, when the guide pins 24a and 24b are at the end of the escape groove 12, they are pressed against the end of the guide groove by the urging force of the spring and stopped. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12B, the distance between the guide pins 24a and 24b increases as the guide pins 24a and 24b move away from the end of the escape groove 12, so that the coil springs 54a and 54b extend and become attached. The power gradually increases. For this reason, when the guide pins 24a and 24b are moved from the position of the end portion of the escape groove 12 during sliding, it is necessary to apply a force in the direction opposite to the biasing force applied from the coil springs 54a and 54b. For this reason, in a state where the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are overlapped or in a state where the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are slid, the guide piece 21b is the end of the guide groove 12. It is possible to restrict the movement in the direction away from the part, and it is possible to restrict the first slide member 11 and the second slide member 31 from sliding relative to each other. In addition, since the direction of the force is reversed when the apex of the arcuate groove (where the spring is fully extended) is reversed, it is possible to apply a force that assists the operation force to move to the opposite side. Although a modification using a plurality of springs has been described this time, a configuration may be adopted in which both end portions of one coil spring are hooked and biased to the guide pins 24a and 24b.

In the mobile terminal 1, the sliding means 10 that slides and moves the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 has a pair of guide members 20 connected to each other, and one of the pair of guide members 20 is It is the structure which rotates in synchronization with the other as it rotates. Then, when sliding the 1st housing | casing 2 and the 2nd housing | casing 3, by rotating one of a pair of guide members 20, the other can also be rotated to a relatively equal position. For this reason, when the width direction dimension of the housings 2 and 3 of the mobile terminal 1 is wide and both are slid in the vertical direction, by providing the pair of guide members 20 at both ends in the width direction, When the pair of guide members 20 are rotated in the vertical direction along the escape groove 12, the pair of guide members 20 are rotated in synchronization with each other, so that the pair of guide members 20 are positioned in the one escape groove 12 and in the other escape groove 12. It is possible to prevent the relative position from being shifted, and to prevent the catching in the escape groove 12.
Therefore, the mobile terminal 1 according to the present invention is less likely to be rattled when the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are slid, is easy to operate the mobile terminal, and has good comfort during operation. It is.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, A suitable deformation | transformation, improvement, etc. are possible.
For example, the configuration of the pair of slide members is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and can be modified to other configurations as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 13 is a plan view showing another configuration of the slide member. In FIG. 13, the state which planarly viewed the 1st slide member from the front side is shown. In this configuration, the first slide member 11 has a substantially rectangular plate shape as in the above embodiment. In the vicinity of one short side of the first slide member 11, a slit-shaped first relief groove 112a cut linearly in parallel with the slide direction is formed. Further, the first slide member 11 includes a second escape groove 112b cut in an arc shape with the end of the first escape groove 112a as the center of the circle, and the same circle as the second escape groove 112b. And a third relief groove 112c cut in an arc shape on the outer side in the radial direction. Furthermore, a slit-shaped fourth relief groove 112d that is cut linearly in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction is formed in the vicinity of one long side of the first sliding member 11.

  In addition, the 2nd slide member 31 can be set as the structure similar to the thing of the said embodiment.
