The present invention relates to a portable terminal having a flow preventing structure.

In general, a portable terminal is a general term for a next-generation personal portable device that combines wireless communication and information processing functions such as a mobile phone, personal digital assistance (PDA) and the like.

It basically performs the functions of the existing personal computer such as input, storage, processing and output of various data, and adds various functions such as wireless internet communication and telephone function, so that it can perform various tasks on the go. It is positioned as one of the biggest technological factors that can bring about fundamental changes in the industrial society.

With the recent development of information communication technology and memory technology, portable terminals are in the stage of producing or transmitting / receiving multimedia directly in addition to a call function. Equipped with a digital camera, it can be used to take, send or watch photos and videos, play multimedia files such as music, movies, and games, and even make digital multimedia broadcasts (e.g. DMB) using satellite communication or terrestrial waves. It also has the ability to receive.

Such a mobile terminal has a structure in which two bodies can be opened and closed by a slider member. In the case of a mobile terminal having such a configuration, when the body is opened, the two bodies are connected (combined) only by the slider member. Since the state is maintained, the flow of the other body relative to the one body of the portable terminal is generated. When the flow is generated in this way, a problem of deterioration of stability occurs during use.

In addition, since the fixing means is provided only with the slider member in the open state of the portable terminal, a problem occurs that the slider member (that is, the coupling member of the portable terminal) is damaged when an external shock is applied to the portable terminal.

Therefore, the portable terminal is provided with a groove into which the projections and the projections are inserted into the different bodies, respectively, to prevent the flow generated during opening and closing of the portable terminal and to structurally require the reinforcement structure for the connecting means of the two bodies. Was studied.

However, there is a problem that there are many parts that are insufficient to prevent the flow generated between the two bodies of the portable terminal and to reinforce structural stability by the mechanical structure.

In addition, since the tolerance of the design must be made very fine so that the operation can be smoothed when the portable terminal is opened and closed, there is a problem that it is not easy in design as well as manufacturing.

In addition, since the flow prevention structure by the mechanical design proposed in the related art has a structure exposed to the outside of the portable terminal, the external surface of the portable terminal may be peeled off due to the mechanical friction during use, or the smooth operation of the lowering operation may be caused by the friction. In the case where structural wear continues to occur, there is a problem in that mechanical deviation of the flow preventing structure occurs and flow occurs again between the bodies of the portable terminal.

On the other hand, one object of the present invention is to prevent the flow between the body of the portable terminal when opening and closing the portable terminal.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a structure that can further provide a fixed force between the terminal body even when an external impact is applied to the portable terminal.

Another object of the present invention is to prevent the appearance of the structure for preventing the flow generated between the body of the portable terminal.

Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the design and manufacture of a structure for preventing the flow generated between the body of the portable terminal.
