Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、スライド装置並びにスライド装置を用いた携帯電話，モバイルなどの電子機器に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
例えば従来の折り畳み式の携帯電話は、数字キーやファンクションキーを配列した操作部を下側となる本体部の上面側に設け、この操作部のキー操作などにより所定の表示がなされる液晶パネルなどのディスプレイ部を上側となる重合部の伏面側（重合側）に設け、この本体部と重合部とをヒンジ装置を介して連結して、本体部と重合部とを二つ折り重合して操作部を重合部により隠蔽した折り畳み閉塞状態から、ヒンジ装置により重合部を起伏回動して反転し、操作部とディスプレイ部とが露出した開放状態に切り替えできるように構成している。
【０００３】
そのため、従来このような起伏回動する重合部で本体部の操作部を覆う電子機器においては、折り畳み重合してコンパクト化できるものの操作部を隠蔽した重合状態ではディスプレイ部も隠蔽してしまう構造となり、コンパクト化した状態での使用が制限されざるを得なく不便である場合も多い。
【０００４】
また、操作部を操作する場合には、ディスプレイ部を設けた重い重合部を立ち起こし反転回動させなければならず、この開閉動作（特に開放動作）させずらい欠点もある。
【０００５】
そこで、起伏回動により開閉動作するのではなく、重合面に沿って前後方向に重合部をスライド移動して開閉動作するように構成すれば、重合部の上側面にディスプレイ部を設けることができ、例えば不使用時あるいはキー操作不要時に重合した際においても、言い換えるとたとえディスプレイ部を設けた重合部を本体部に重合して操作部を隠蔽したコンパクト化状態においても、ディスプレイ部が上側に配設され、ディスプレイ部を視認したり、機能させたりすることが可能となり、また重合してコンパクト化した状態から操作部及びディスプレイ部を露出した状態に切り替える場合は、重合面に沿って前後方向に重合部をスライド移動することで行なえるため、この開放動作も非常に容易に行なえ、機器装置として使用用途が広がり、しかも前記開閉動作も容易となる携帯電話，モバイルなどの電子機器となる。
【０００６】
このようにスライド開閉方式に構成する場合には、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を用いることになるが、本体部の操作部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）するように構成することが望ましい。
【０００７】
本発明は、このような所定位置でクリック係合して位置決めされるスライド開閉方式を実現できるスライド装置を、部品点数が少なく、プレス加工などの簡易な手法と係合組み付けによって容易に製作でき、量産性に秀れ、またクリック係合間では適度なスライド抵抗によるフリーストップとなり、且つスムーズなスライドを容易に実現可能となる画期的なスライド装置並びにスライド装置を用いた電子機器を提供することを目的としている。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
添付図面を参照して本発明の要旨を説明する。
【０００９】
第一部材１とこの第一部材１に重合配設した第二部材２とをスライド自在に連結するスライド装置であって、長さ方向にガイド部３を有しガイドレールとして前記第一部材１に設けられる第一連結部４と、この第一連結部４にスライド自在に係合するスライド体として前記第二部材２に設けられる第二連結部５とから成り、前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに沿ってスライドする係合突部６を形成したスライド板部８を前記第二連結部５に設け、前記係合突部６が係合して前記第一連結部４に対する前記第二連結部５のスライド位置が係合保持される係合凹部７若しくは係合孔７を、前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに形成し、前記スライド板部８は前記第一連結部４と第二連結部５とをスライド自在に係合した際この第一連結部４と第二連結部５との間に介在して第二連結部５のスライド移動と共に第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに前記係合突部６を当接しながらスライド移動するように構成し、前記第一連結部４と前記第二連結部５との間に介在して前記第二連結部５のスライド移動及び前記スライド板部８のスライド移動と共にスライド移動して前記前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに当接することによってスライド抵抗が生じる介在補助板部９を前記スライド板部８に重合配設して、このスライド板部８と介在補助板部９とを第二連結部５の重合側に第二連結部５と共にスライド移動するように重合配設し、この介在補助板部９は前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに当接する湾曲当接部を形成し且つ端部での折り返し立ち下げ若しくは折り返し立ち上げにより前記第二連結部５にスライド係止してこの第二連結部５と共にスライド移動する構成とし、この介在補助板部９に前記スライド板部８に設けた係合突部６が突出して係合突部６を前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに当接させる開口部10若しくは切欠部10を設け、スライド時にはこの介在補助板部９によるスライド抵抗と、前記スライド板部８の係合突部６がこのスライド面４Ａに当接することで生じるスライド抵抗とが生じるように構成したことを特徴とするスライド装置に係るものである。
【００１０】
また、前記第一連結部４は、板材の側縁に立ち下げ部若しくは立ち上げ部を形成して長さ方向にガイド部３を設けたガイドレールとして構成し、前記第二連結部５は、前記第一連結部４の前記ガイド部３をガイドとしてこの第一連結部４にスライド自在に係合する板状のスライド体として構成したことを特徴とする請求項１記載のスライド装置に係るものである。
【００１１】
また、操作部を設けた本体部２と、ディスプレイ部を設けた重合部１とを、前記操作部を操作しない時にはこの操作部を覆うように重合配設し、この重合した状態から前記重合部１を相対的に重合面に対して略平行にスライド移動して操作部を露出させることができるように前記本体部２と前記重合部１とを連結するスライド装置を有し、このスライド装置には、前記本体部２を前記第二部材２若しくは第一部材１とし、前記重合部１を前記第一部材１若しくは第二部材２とした前記請求項１，２のいずれか１項に記載のスライド装置を用いたことを特徴とするスライド装置を用いた電子機器に係るものである。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
好適と考える本発明の実施の形態（発明をどのように実施するか）を、図面に基づいてその作用効果を示して簡単に説明する。
【００１３】
第一部材１に設ける第一連結部４と、第二部材２に設ける第二連結部５とをスライド自在に係合連結することで、第一部材１は第二部材２に対して第一連結部４の長さ方向に沿ってスライド移動自在に連結される。
【００１４】
例えば、第二部材２上に第一部材１を重合配設する場合、第一部材１の裏面側に第一連結部４を設け、第二部材２上に第二連結部５を設け、この第一連結部４と第二連結部５とをスライド自在に抜け止め係合する。
【００１５】
また例えば、第一連結部４は立ち下げ部（図１〜図４ではスライド装置を装着時とは上下逆に図示しているため、立ち上げ部として図示されている。）が内側へ傾斜あるいは折り返されているチャンネル状の帯板に形成するなどして、平坦部がスライド面４Ａとなる板材の側縁に形成した立ち下げ部や折り返し部をガイド部３としたガイドレールに構成し、第二連結部５はこのガイド部３間に抜け止め係合してガイド部３をガイドとしガイド面４Ａに沿って移動する短尺なスライド板に構成し、このガイドレールに構成した第一連結部４にスライド板として構成した第二連結部５をスライド移動自在にガイド部３間に抜け止め係合することで、この第二連結部５の長さ方向をスライド方向として第二部材２に対して第一部材１をスライド移動自在に連結することができることとなる。
【００１６】
また、本発明は、この第一連結部４と第二連結部５との間に、第一連結部４に対して第二連結部５を（相対的に）スライド移動させるとこの第二連結部５と共に第一連結部４に対してスライド移動するスライド板部８を介在状態に設ける。
【００１７】
即ち、第二連結部５にスライド板部８を固定あるいは固定せずとも少なくとも第二連結部５の（相対的な）スライド移動に対して係止され、第二連結部５と共に移動するように第二連結部５の第一連結部４との重合側に設ける。
【００１８】
そして、このスライド板部８，第一連結部４の一方に係合突部６を設け、他方にこれと係合する（離脱自在にクリック係合する）係合凹部７若しくは係合孔７を設ける。
【００１９】
例えば、板状のスライド板部８を折曲加工してスライド板部８に第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａにスライド当接する係合突部６を設け、第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａの位置決め保持したい位置に係合孔７を形成する。
【００２０】
従って、第二連結部５（第二部材２）に対して第一連結部４（第一部材１）を相対的にスライド移動させると、係合突部６はスライド面４Ａにスライド当接し、係合凹部７と合致すると係合し、所定スライド位置で位置決め保持されることとなる。
【００２１】
従って、第一連結部４，第二連結部５も板材からのプレス加工で形成でき、スライド板部８も係合突部６は係合孔７もまた介在補助板部９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、組み付けも例えば第一連結部４の一端からガイド部３間に、スライド板部８を裏側に配した第二連結部５と介在補助板部９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。
【００２２】
また、第一連結部４に対して第二連結部５と共にスライド板部８を（相対的に）スライドさせる際、係合突部６とスライド面とのスライド当接によってスライド抵抗を生じる。
【００２３】
このスライド抵抗を適正にすることでスライド位置がふらつかず、いわゆる手を離したときのスライド位置がこのスライド抵抗によって保持されるフリーストップが実現できる。
【００２４】
即ち、このスライド抵抗が不十分であるとスライド位置がふらつき、またスライド抵抗を大きくしすぎると、スライドがスムーズに行かなくなる。
【００２５】
本発明は、このフリーストップと例えば重合閉塞位置とスライド開放位置とでのクリック保持（位置決め保持）とを前記スライド板部８の介在により容易に実現できることとなる。
【００２６】
また一方、前記スライド抵抗を係合突部６とスライド面とのスライド当接にのみ頼ると、スライド面を十分に滑らかにする必要があり、スライド板部８の折曲によって係合突部６を形成する場合、スライド板部８の材質に応じた突出度の精度がかなり必要となってしまう。即ち、クリック保持が良好に行なえると共にこのクリック保持間でスムーズなスライド移動でありながらフリーストップを実現するためには、スライド面をかなりの滑面となるように鏡面加工などしなければスライド板部８に形成する係合突部６の突出度をかなり精度良く設計する必要がある。
【００２７】
そこで、更に本発明では、このフリーストップと位置決め保持を実現しつつスムーズにスライドできるように製作することが、ラフな製作でも容易に実現できるように、第一連結部４と第二連結部５との間にスライド抵抗を生じさせる介在補助板部９を更に介在しても良い（この介在補助板部９を介在することで前記問題も簡単に解決でき、更に実用性が向上する。）。
【００２８】
即ち、例えばスライド板部８と重合状態に介在補助板部９を第一連結部４と第二連結部５との間に介在し、第二連結部５の（相対的な）スライド移動と共にスライド板部８と一緒にスライド移動するように第二連結部５に設け、この介在補助板部９にはスライド板部８に設けた係合突部６が突出してスライド面４Ａにスライド当接する開口部10を設けた構成とすれば、スライド時には、スライド板部８の係合突部６が開口部10を介してスライド面４Ａにスライド当接するだけでなく、介在補助板部９もスライド面４Ａに当接するため介在補助板部９によるスライド抵抗も更に生じることとなる。従って、係合突部６を強くスライド面４Ａに圧接しなくても介在補助板部９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る。
【００２９】
しかも、係合突部６一点での圧接ではないため、スライド面４Ａ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６を強く圧接しなくてもよいから、係合突部６が係合凹部７若しくは係合孔７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。
【００３０】
この場合も、介在補助板部９の製作も容易であり、組み付けも例えばスライド板部８と介在補助板部９を重合し、第二連結部５と共に第一連結部４の一端からスライド挿入係合するだけで良いように構成できるため、量産性に秀れた画期的なスライド装置となる。
【００３１】
【実施例】
本発明の具体的な実施例について図面に基づいて説明する。
【００３２】
本実施例は、重合コンパクト化の図れる携帯電話に本発明を適用したもので、回路基板，電源などの電子部品をケースに内装した板状の第二部材２（本体部２）の上面側に数字キーやファンクションキーなどを配列したキーボード機能を果たす操作部を設け、この本体部２に重合して操作部を覆う略同形の板状の第一部材１（重合部１）を略水平前後方向にスライド自在にスライド装置により連結した構成としている。
【００３３】
この重合部１の上面側には予め設定した画面や前記操作部の操作や着信などにより所定の表示がなされる液晶パネルなどのディスプレイ部を設けている。
【００３４】
この本体部２と重合部１との連結は、双方の重合部分の互いの伏面に第二連結部５及び第一連結部４を付設し、この第一連結部４と第二連結部５とをスライド自在に抜け止め係合し、第一連結部４の長さ方向に第二連結部５を（相対的に）スライドさせることで、本体部１に対して重合部１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２と重合部１とをスライド自在に連結するスライド装置は、本体部２の操作部を重合部１で隠蔽した重合閉塞位置と、重合部１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。
【００３５】
以下、本実施例のこのスライド装置について更に説明する。
【００３６】
長さ方向にガイド部３を有しガイドレールとして前記第一部材１（重合部１）に設けられる第一連結部４と、この第一連結部４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二部材２（本体部２）に設けられる第二連結部５とから成り、前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに沿ってスライドする係合突部６を形成したスライド板部８を前記第二連結部５に設け、この係合突部６が係合して前記第一連結部４に対する前記第二連結部５のスライド位置が係合保持される係合孔７を、前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに形成した構成としている。
【００３７】
具体的には、前記第一連結部４は、帯板状のガイドレールであって、板材の両側縁を立ち下げて内側へ折曲し（かぎ状あるいはカール状に折曲しても良く、また立ち上げ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状の立ち下げ部（図１〜図４ではスライド装置を装着時とは上下逆に図示しているため、立ち上げ部として図示されている。）をガイド部３とすると共に下方（図面では上方）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５は、この第一連結部４の前記ガイド部３をガイドとしてこの第一連結部４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。
【００３８】
即ち、ガイドレールとして構成した第一連結部４は、両側縁に抜け止めガイド機能を有する折り返し状の立ち下げ部（ガイド部３となると共に抜け止め係合部となる）を有し（下側（図面では上側）にスライド用開放部を有し）、この第一連結部４の一端からガイド部３間に第二連結部５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。
【００３９】
また、本実施例の第二連結部５は、両側縁を立ち上げて（図面では立ち下げて）内側へ水平折曲し、この折り返し状の立ち上げ水平折曲部を前記折り返し状の立ち下げ部（ガイド部３）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５の主体部が第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａより下方へ（図面では上方へ）浮上した状態となるように構成している。
【００４０】
この第二連結部５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５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８の介在スペースを確保できることとなる。
【００４１】
また、本実施例ではこの第二連結部５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８を介在し、第二連結部５と共にこのスライド板部８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５に形成した二ヶ所の係止部11（タップ部11）間にスライド板部８を配設して第二連結部５に固定しないものの第二連結部５と共に移動するように構成している。
【００４２】
そして、この板材で形成したスライド板部８の中央を上方へ（図面では下方へ）折曲して後述する介在補助板部９の開口部10に係合するように構成し、この開口部10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８に弾性のある係合突部６を形成し、このスライド板部８は前記第一連結部４と第二連結部５とをスライド自在に係合した際この第一連結部４と第二連結部５との間に介在して第二連結部５の（相対的な）スライド移動と共に第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに前記係合突部６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。また、この係合突部６が係合して前記第一連結部４に対する前記第二連結部５のスライド位置を係合保持する係合孔７を前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに形成している。
【００４３】
また、更に本実施例では、前記第一連結部４と前記第二連結部５との間に介在して前記第二連結部５のスライド移動及び前記スライド板部８のスライド移動と共にスライド移動する介在補助板部９を設け、この介在補助板部９に前記スライド板部８に設けた係合突部６が突出して係合突部６を前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに当接させる開口部10を設け、前記介在補助板部９の前記係合突部６を挟んだ左右の湾曲当接部が前記第一連結部４のスライド面４Ａに当接することによって、スライド抵抗が生じ、スライド時にはこの介在補助板部９によるスライド抵抗と、前記スライド板部８の係合突部６がこのスライド面４Ａに当接することで生じるスライド抵抗とが生じるように構成している。
【００４４】
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４の両側縁の先端が内側へ折り返された立ち下げ部（ガイド部３）間に第二連結部５の水平折曲縁を係合し、第一連結部４の開放部から盛り上がった第二連結部５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11を設け、この第一連結部４の重合側にタップ部11を係止部11としてこの係止部11間に係止して係合突部６を有するスライド板部８を配設し、このスライド板部８の係合突部６を介在補助板部９の開口部10に係合して開口部10から係合突部６を突出させると共に、この係合と介在補助板部９の端部での折り返し立ち下げ（図面では折り返し立ち上げ）によってスライド板部８と介在補助板部９とを係止させて、この第二連結部５の重合側にスライド板部８と介在補助板部９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。
【００４５】
従って、第一連結部４，第二連結部５も板材からのプレス加工で形成でき、スライド板部８も係合突部６，係合孔７もまた介在補助板部９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４の一端からガイド部３間に、スライド板部８を裏側に配した第二連結部５と介在補助板部９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。
【００４６】
また、第一連結部４に対して第二連結部５と共にスライド板部８を（相対的に）スライド移動させる際、係合突部６とスライド面４Ａとのスライド当接によってスライド抵抗を生じるが、このスライド抵抗を適正にすることでスライド位置がふらつかず、いわゆる手を離したときのスライド位置がこのスライド抵抗によって保持されるフリーストップが実現できる。しかし、スライド抵抗を係合突部６とスライド面４Ａとのスライド当接にのみ頼ると、スライド面を十分に滑らかにする必要があり、スライド板部８の折曲によって係合突部６を形成する場合、スライド板部８の材質に応じた突出度の精度がかなり必要となってしまう。即ち、クリック保持が良好に行なえると共にこのクリック保持間でスムーズなスライド移動でありながらフリーストップを実現するためには、スライド面をかなりの滑面となるように鏡面加工などしなければスライド板部８に形成する係合突部６の突出度をかなり精度良く設計する必要がある。
【００４７】
そこで、更に本実施例では、このフリーストップと位置決め保持を実現しつつスムーズにスライドできるように製作することが、ラフな製作でも容易に実現できるように、前述のように第一連結部４と第二連結部５との間にスライド抵抗を生じさせる介在補助板部９を更に介在している。
【００４８】
従って、本実施例では、スライド時には、スライド板部８の係合突部６が開口部10を介してスライド面４Ａにスライド当接するだけでなく、介在補助板部９もスライド面４Ａに当接するため介在補助板部９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６を強くスライド面４Ａに圧接しなくても介在補助板部９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６一点での圧接ではないため、スライド面４Ａ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６を強く圧接しなくてもよいから、係合突部６が係合孔７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。
【００４９】
尚、本発明は、本実施例に限られるものではなく、各構成要件の具体的構成は適宜設計し得るものである。
【００５０】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上述のように構成したから、所定位置でクリック係合して位置決めされるスライド開閉方式を実現できるスライド装置を、部品点数が少なく、プレス加工などの簡易な手法と係合組み付けによって容易に製作でき、量産性に秀れ、またクリック係合間では適度なスライド抵抗によるフリーストップとなり、且つスムーズなスライドを容易に実現可能となる画期的なスライド装置並びにスライド装置を用いた電子機器となる。
【００５１】
また、本発明においては、簡易な構成にして、係合突部を強くスライド面に圧接しなくても介在補助板部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、係合突部一点での圧接ではないため、スライド面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を強く圧接しなくてもよいから、係合突部が係合凹部若しくは係合孔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、この場合も、介在補助板部の製作も容易であり、組み付けも例えばスライド板部と介在補助板部を重合し、第二連結部と共に第一連結部の一端からスライド挿入係合するだけで良いように構成できるため、量産性に秀れた画期的なスライド装置となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a slide device and an electronic device such as a mobile phone and a mobile using the slide device.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
For example, a conventional foldable mobile phone is provided with an operation unit on which the numeric keys and function keys are arranged on the upper surface side of the lower main unit, and a liquid crystal panel on which a predetermined display is made by the key operation of the operation unit. The display part is provided on the lower surface side (polymerization side) of the superposition part on the upper side, this main part and superposition part are connected via a hinge device, and the main part and superposition part are folded in half and operated From the folded closed state in which the portion is concealed by the overlapping portion, the overlapping portion is turned upside down by the hinge device and reversed to be switched to an open state in which the operation portion and the display portion are exposed.
[0003]
Therefore, in the conventional electronic equipment that covers the operation part of the main body part with the overlapping and rotating superposition part, it can be folded and compactized, but the display part is also concealed in the superposition state where the operation part is hidden. In many cases, use in a compact state is inevitably limited.
[0004]
Further, when operating the operation unit, the heavy overlapping portion provided with the display unit must be erected and rotated in the reverse direction, and there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to perform this opening / closing operation (particularly, opening operation).
[0005]
Therefore, instead of opening and closing by rolling up and down, it is possible to provide a display unit on the upper side of the overlapping part if the overlapping part slides back and forth along the overlapping surface and opens and closes. For example, when superposed when not in use or when no key operation is required, in other words, even in a compact state where the superposed part provided with the display part is superposed on the main body part to conceal the operating part, the display part is arranged on the upper side. It is possible to view and function the display unit, and when switching from a compacted and compacted state to a state where the operation unit and the display unit are exposed, the front and rear direction along the overlapping surface Since it can be performed by sliding the overlapping section, this opening operation can be performed very easily, and the usage application as equipment is expanded. Mobile phone also becomes the opening and closing operation easy, and electronic devices such as mobile.
[0006]
In this way, when configured in the slide opening and closing method, a slide device that slidably connects the main body portion and the overlapping portion will be used, but the overlapping position where the operation portion of the main body portion is concealed by the overlapping portion, It is desirable to configure so that the overlapping portion is slidably moved in the front-rear direction so as to be displaced, and held and clicked at the slide open position where the operation portion is exposed.
[0007]
The present invention is a slide device that can realize such a slide opening and closing method that is positioned by clicking and engaging at a predetermined position with a small number of parts, and can be easily manufactured by a simple technique such as press working and engagement assembly, To provide a revolutionary slide device and an electronic device using the slide device that are excellent in mass production, free-stop with appropriate slide resistance between click engagements, and that can easily realize smooth slide. It is aimed.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0009]
A slide device for slidably connecting a first member 1 and a second member 2 arranged on the first member 1 and having a guide portion 3 in a length direction as the guide rail. And a second connecting portion 5 provided on the second member 2 as a slide body slidably engaged with the first connecting portion 4. A slide plate portion 8 having an engagement protrusion 6 that slides along the slide surface 4A is provided in the second connection portion 5, and the engagement protrusion 6 engages with the first connection portion 4 with respect to the first connection portion 4.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention (how to carry out the invention) considered to be suitable will be briefly described with reference to the drawings, showing its effects.
[0013]
By slidably engaging and connecting the first connecting portion 4 provided on the first member 1 and the second connecting portion 5 provided on the second member 2, the first member 1 is first connected to the second member 2. It is slidably connected along the length direction of the connecting part 4.
[0014]
For example, when the first member 1 is disposed on the second member 2 in a superposed manner, the first connecting portion 4 is provided on the back surface side of the first member 1, and the second connecting portion 5 is provided on the second member 2. The first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5 are slidably engaged with each other in a slidable manner.
[0015]
In addition, for example, the first connecting portion 4 has a falling portion (in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, shown as a rising portion because it is shown upside down from when the slide device is mounted). A guide rail having a guide portion 3 with a falling portion and a folded portion formed on the side edge of the plate material in which the flat portion becomes the slide surface 4A, such as by forming on a folded channel strip, is formed. The second connecting portion 5 is configured to be a short slide plate that moves along the guide surface 4A using the guide portion 3 as a guide by preventing engagement between the guide portions 3, and the first connecting portion 4 formed on the guide rail. The second connecting portion 5 configured as a slide plate is detachably engaged between the guide portions 3 so as to be slidable, so that the length direction of the second connecting portion 5 is the sliding direction with respect to the second member 2. Slide the first member 1 The ability to be linked to the standing.
[0016]
In the present invention, when the second connecting portion 5 is slid relative to the first connecting portion 4 between the first connecting portion 4 and the second connecting portion 5, the second connecting portion 4 A slide plate portion 8 that slides relative to the first connecting portion 4 together with the portion 5 is provided in an interposed state.
[0017]
That is, the slide plate portion 8 is not fixed or fixed to the second connecting portion 5, but is locked against at least (relative) sliding movement of the second connecting portion 5 and moves together with the second connecting portion 5. The second connecting portion 5 is provided on the overlapping side with the first connecting portion 4.
[0018]
An engagement protrusion 6 is provided on one of the slide plate portion 8 and the first connection portion 4, and an engagement recess 7 or engagement hole 7 that engages with the other (removably click-engages) is provided on the other. Provide.
[0019]
For example, the plate-like slide plate portion 8 is bent, and the slide plate portion 8 is provided with an engagement protrusion 6 that slides on the slide surface 4A of the first connection portion 4, and the slide surface 4A of the first connection portion 4 is provided. The engagement hole 7 is formed at a position where it is desired to maintain the positioning.
[0020]
Accordingly, when the first connecting portion 4 (first member 1) is slid relative to the second connecting portion 5 (second member 2), the engaging protrusion 6 is brought into sliding contact with the slide surface 4A. When it matches with the engaging recess 7, it engages and is positioned and held at a predetermined slide position.
[0021]
Accordingly, the first connecting portion 4 and the second connecting portion 5 can be formed by pressing from a plate material, and the slide plate portion 8, the engaging protrusion 6, the engaging hole 7, and the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 are also formed by pressing. Therefore, the number of parts is small and the manufacture is easy, and the assembly is also possible, for example, between the first connecting portion 4 and the guide portion 3 between the second connecting portion 5 and the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 with the slide plate portion 8 arranged on the back side. Can be assembled simply by engaging the slide and engaging with each other, and it is easy to manufacture at a low cost and is extremely excellent in mass productivity.
[0022]
Further, when the slide plate portion 8 is slid (relatively) together with the second connection portion 5 with respect to the first connection portion 4, slide resistance is generated by the sliding contact between the engagement protrusion 6 and the slide surface.
[0023]
By making this slide resistance appropriate, the slide position does not fluctuate, and a free stop in which the slide position when the hand is released is held by this slide resistance can be realized.
[0024]
That is, if the slide resistance is insufficient, the slide position fluctuates, and if the slide resistance is increased too much, the slide does not go smoothly.
[0025]
In the present invention, this free stop and click holding (positioning holding) at, for example, the superposition closing position and the slide opening position can be easily realized by the intervention of the slide plate portion 8.
[0026]
On the other hand, if the slide resistance depends only on the sliding contact between the engagement protrusion 6 and the slide surface, it is necessary to make the slide surface sufficiently smooth. In the case of forming, the accuracy of the protrusion degree according to the material of the slide plate portion 8 is considerably required. In other words, in order to achieve good click holding and to achieve free stop while smooth sliding movement between the click holding, the slide plate must be mirror-finished so that the slide surface becomes a smooth surface. It is necessary to design the degree of protrusion of the engaging protrusion 6 formed on the portion 8 with considerably high accuracy.
[0027]
Therefore, in the present invention, the first connecting portion 4 and the second connecting portion 5 can be manufactured so as to be able to slide smoothly while realizing the free stop and positioning and holding so as to be easily realized even in rough manufacturing. An intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 that generates a sliding resistance may be further interposed between the two (the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 can be used to easily solve the above problem and further improve the practicality).
[0028]
That is, for example, the auxiliary auxiliary plate portion 9 is interposed between the first connecting portion 4 and the second connecting portion 5 in a superposed state with the slide plate portion 8, and slides with the (relative) sliding movement of the second connecting portion 5. The second connecting portion 5 is provided so as to slide together with the plate portion 8, and an engagement protrusion 6 provided on the slide plate portion 8 projects from the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 so as to slide and come into contact with the slide surface 4 </ b> A. If the portion 10 is provided, at the time of sliding, the engaging projection 6 of the slide plate portion 8 not only slides against the slide surface 4A via the opening 10, but the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 also has the slide surface 4A. Further, the sliding resistance due to the intervening auxiliary plate 9 is further generated. Therefore, even if the engagement protrusion 6 is not strongly pressed against the slide surface 4A, a slide resistance due to the intervening auxiliary plate 9 is also generated, so that a sufficient slide resistance capable of realizing a free stop can be secured.
[0029]
In addition, since it is not the press contact at one point of the engaging protrusion 6, even if the slide surface 4A is not sufficiently smooth, the portion where the slide resistance is generated is wide or plural or dispersed, so that the total slide resistance is realized to realize a free stop. Can be smoothly slid and the engagement protrusion 6 does not have to be pressed strongly, so that the engagement protrusion 6 is engaged with the engagement recess 7 or the engagement hole 7. Even when detaching and sliding, a strong force is not required, and in this sense, the slide can be smoothly moved.
[0030]
Also in this case, the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 is easy to manufacture, and for example, the slide plate portion 8 and the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 are overlapped, and the slide connecting portion is inserted from one end of the first connecting portion 4 together with the second connecting portion 5. Since it can be configured only by combining, it becomes an epoch-making slide device excellent in mass productivity.
[0031]

[0038]
In other words, the first connecting portion 4 configured as a guide rail has a folded-up falling portion (a guide portion 3 and a retaining engagement portion) having a retaining guide function on both side edges (lower side engaging portion). (With an open portion for sliding on the upper side in the drawing), and the second connecting portion 5 is slidably inserted between the guide portion 3 from one end of the first connecting portion 4 and is configured to be slidably engaged. is doing.
[0039]
Further, the second connecting portion 5 of the present embodiment is horizontally bent inward with both side edges raised (falling down in the drawing), and the folded-up raised horizontal bent portion is turned into the folded-down shape. The main portion of the second connecting portion 5 is floated downward (upward in the drawing) from the slide surface 4A of the first connecting portion 4 by engaging with the portion (guide portion 3) in a slidable manner. It is comprised so that it may become.
[0040]
Since the main portion of the second connecting portion 5 is raised, it is easy to form a fixing portion for fixing the second connecting portion 5 to the second member 2, for example, a tap for screwing. At the same time, an intervening space for the slide plate portion 8 can be secured.
[0041]
Further, in this embodiment, a plate-like slide plate portion 8 is interposed in a sliding state in the sliding direction on the overlapping side of the second connecting portion 5, and the slide plate portion 8 moves together with the second connecting portion 5. It is configured as follows. Specifically, the slide plate portion 8 is disposed between the two locking portions 11 (tap portions 11) formed on the second connecting portion 5 and is not fixed to the second connecting portion 5. It is configured to move.
[0042]
The center of the slide plate portion 8 formed of this plate material is bent upward (downward in the drawing) so as to be engaged with an opening 10 of an intervening auxiliary plate 9 described later. The center of the curved portion that engages with the second curved portion is further curved to form a small projection, and the sliding projection 8 is formed on the sliding plate 8, and the sliding plate 8 is the first connecting portion. When the 4 and the second connecting part 5 are slidably engaged, the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5 are interposed between the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5 together with the (relative) sliding movement of the second connecting part 5. The engaging projection 6 is slidably moved while being abutted against the sliding surface 4A of one connecting portion 4. In addition, the engagement projection 7 is engaged and an engagement hole 7 that engages and holds the slide position of the second connection portion 5 with respect to the first connection portion 4 is formed in the slide surface 4A of the first connection portion 4. Forming.
[0043]
Further, in this embodiment, the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5 are interposed between the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5 to slide together with the slide movement of the second connecting part 5 and the slide movement of the slide plate part 8. An interposition auxiliary plate portion 9 is provided, and an engagement protrusion 6 provided on the slide plate portion 8 projects from the interposition auxiliary plate portion 9 so that the engagement protrusion 6 contacts the slide surface 4A of the first connecting portion 4. An opening 10 is provided, and the left and right curved contact portions sandwiching the engagement protrusion 6 of the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 are in contact with the slide surface 4A of the first connecting portion 4, thereby generating a slide resistance. When sliding, the slide resistance by the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 and the slide resistance generated by the engagement projection 6 of the slide plate portion 8 coming into contact with the slide surface 4A are generated.
[0044]
That is, in the present embodiment, as described above, the horizontal bending of the second connecting portion 5 is performed between the falling portions (guide portions 3) where the tips of both side edges of the first connecting portion 4 serving as the guide rail are folded inward. A tap portion 11 is provided on the main portion of the second connecting portion 5 that engages the edge and rises from the open portion of the first connecting portion 4, and is attached to the second member 2. A slide plate portion 8 having an engagement protrusion 6 is provided by using the tap portion 11 as an engagement portion 11 and is engaged between the engagement portions 11, and the engagement protrusion 6 of the slide plate portion 8 is interposed. The engaging protrusion 6 is projected from the opening 10 by engaging with the opening 10 of the auxiliary plate 9, and the engagement and the folding and falling at the end of the intervening auxiliary plate 9 (in the drawing, the folding and rising are illustrated). ), The slide plate portion 8 and the interposition auxiliary plate portion 9 are locked, and the slide plate portion 8 and the interposition are provided on the overlapping side of the second connecting portion 5. And a co-plate portion 9 is polymerized arranged, and configured to stop engaging omission by inserting slide formed by integrating the end of the first connecting portion 1 with respect to the slide.
[0045]
Accordingly, the first connecting portion 4 and the second connecting portion 5 can also be formed by pressing from a plate material, and the slide plate portion 8, the engaging protrusion 6, the engaging hole 7, and the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 are also formed by pressing. Since it is possible, the number of parts is small and the manufacture is easy, and assembling is performed as described above, for example, between the first connecting portion 4 and the guide portion 3, the second connecting portion 5 having the slide plate portion 8 disposed on the back side and the intervening auxiliary It can be assembled simply by superimposing the plate portion 9 and slidingly inserting and engaging it, and it is easy to manufacture at low cost and extremely excellent in mass productivity.
[0046]
Further, when the slide plate part 8 is slid (relatively) together with the second connection part 5 with respect to the first connection part 4, slide resistance is generated by the sliding contact between the engagement protrusion 6 and the slide surface 4A. However, by making this slide resistance appropriate, the slide position does not fluctuate, and a free stop in which the slide position when the hand is released is held by this slide resistance can be realized. However, if the slide resistance depends only on the sliding contact between the engagement protrusion 6 and the slide surface 4A, it is necessary to sufficiently smooth the slide surface. When forming, the precision of the protrusion degree according to the material of the slide board part 8 will be needed considerably. In other words, in order to achieve good click holding and to achieve free stop while smooth sliding movement between the click holding, the slide plate must be mirror-finished so that the slide surface becomes a smooth surface. It is necessary to design the degree of protrusion of the engaging protrusion 6 formed on the portion 8 with considerably high accuracy.
[0047]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the first connecting portion 4 and the first connecting portion 4 can be manufactured so as to be able to slide smoothly while realizing this free stop and positioning. An intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 that causes slide resistance is further interposed between the second connecting portion 5 and the second connecting portion 5.
[0048]
Therefore, in this embodiment, at the time of sliding, the engaging projection 6 of the slide plate portion 8 not only slides on the slide surface 4A via the opening 10, but also the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 contacts the slide surface 4A. Therefore, slide resistance due to the intervening auxiliary plate portion 9 is further generated. Therefore, even if the engagement protrusion 6 is not strongly pressed against the slide surface 4A, slide resistance is also caused by interposing the interposition auxiliary plate portion 9, so that sufficient slide resistance that can realize a free stop can be secured, and Since the joint 6 is not a single pressure contact point, even if the slide surface 4A is not sufficiently smooth, there are many or multiple or dispersed portions where slide resistance occurs, so the total slide resistance is increased to achieve a free stop. Even when the engagement protrusion 6 is disengaged from the state in which the engagement protrusion 6 is engaged with the engagement hole 7 and is slid, A strong force is not required, and in this sense, it can slide smoothly.
[0049]
Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate.
[0050]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, a slide device capable of realizing a slide opening and closing method that is positioned by clicking and engaging at a predetermined position has a small number of parts and can be easily performed by a simple technique such as press working and engagement assembly. Innovative slide device and electronic device using the slide device that can be manufactured easily, have excellent mass productivity, free stop with appropriate slide resistance between click engagements, and can easily realize smooth slide Become.
[0051]
In addition, in the present invention, the slide resistance due to the interposition of the auxiliary auxiliary plate portion is generated even if the engagement protrusion is not strongly pressed against the slide surface with a simple configuration, so that sufficient slide resistance can be realized. In addition, since it is not the pressure contact at one point of the engaging protrusion, the part where the slide resistance is generated even if the slide surface is not sufficiently smooth is wide, or there are multiple or dispersed parts, so that a total stop is achieved to realize a free stop. Even if the slide resistance is increased, the slide can move smoothly, and the engagement protrusion does not need to be pressed strongly. Therefore, the engagement protrusion is released from the state where it is engaged with the engagement recess or the engagement hole. When sliding, it does not require a strong force, and in this sense, it can slide smoothly.In this case as well, the intervening auxiliary plate can be easily manufactured. For example, the slide plate part and the intervening auxiliary plate part can be overlapped, and it can be configured so that only the slide insertion engagement is required from one end of the first connection part together with the second connection part. Slide device.
