In particular, the present invention relates to a locking device of a sliding swing device for a portable terminal, which is configured to facilitate a sliding motion combined swing operation that can conveniently view the displayed information.

The term "mobile communication device" in a conventional concept refers to an electronic device that a user can carry and perform wireless communication with the other party. Such portable communication devices have been trending toward miniaturization, slimness, grip, and light weight in consideration of portability, and are moving toward a multi-mediaization direction to pursue more various functions. In particular, more and more portable terminals will be used for miniaturization, light weight, multifunction, and versatility, and will be modified to adapt to various multimedia environments or the Internet environment. In addition, the portable terminal is an electronic device commonly used anywhere in the world, men and women, and is being recognized as a necessity to carry around at all times.

Conventional portable communication devices are classified into various types in appearance. For example, portable communication devices are classified as bar-type, flip-type, or folder-type communication devices depending on their appearance. In addition, portable communication devices may be classified into either a neck wearable type or a wrist wear type according to a wearable position or a manner of wearing. In addition, the portable communication device may be classified into a swing-type or a sliding-type communication device according to an opening and closing method. The variously classified communication devices listed above will be readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

In addition, conventional portable communication apparatuses are being converted into structures capable of communicating high-speed data in addition to voice communication functions. That is, as the needs of consumers increase, the service will be provided using a wireless communication technology that transmits high speed data.
