BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dual sliding type portable communication device including cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), hand held phones (HHPs), communication devices, and the like. The sliding device of the double sliding type portable communication device comprised so that double sliding movement by means is related.

The term " sliding type portable communication device " Such sliding type portable communication devices have tended to be miniaturized, slimmed, gripped, and lightweight in consideration of portability, and are moving toward a multi-mediated direction in which more various functions can be pursued. 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 sliding type portable communication devices which have become popular are classified into various types in appearance. For example, sliding type portable communication devices are classified into bar-type, flip-type, or folder-type communication devices according to their appearance. The bar-type communication device means that the single housing is configured as a bar-type, the flip-type communication device means that the flip is rotatably configured by the hinge device in the bar-type housing, the folder-type communication device is In a single bar-shaped housing, a folder is configured to be rotatably connected and folded by a hinge device.

In addition, the sliding type portable communication device may be classified into a rotation-type or sliding-type communication device according to an opening and closing method. The rotation-type communication device means that the two housings are rotatably connected and opened while remaining facing each other, and the sliding-type communication device means that the two housings are opened and closed by sliding movement in the longitudinal direction. it means. The variously classified communication devices listed above will be readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

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

At present, a camera lens is adopted in a conventional sliding type portable communication device, and transmission of an image signal and the like is in progress. The universal sliding type portable communication device has been equipped with a camera lens module as an external type or a built-in type to perform a video call with a counterpart or a desired subject photographing function.

However, since the conventional sliding type portable communication device has a structure in which the housing is slid only in one direction while the two housings face each other and is opened to about 1/2 of the fixed housing length, the entire area of the terminal cannot be used. And there was a problem of limiting the installation of the liquid crystal table market value.

In addition, there is a disadvantage in that the key operation is inconvenient when used as a character input or a game function due to the small number of keys provided in the limited area of the terminal.

In addition, the configuration of the sliding device of the dual sliding type portable communication device is disclosed in detail in the patent application No. 616197 previously filed by the applicant. In the previously registered patent application No. 616197 is configured to slide longitudinally and longitudinally vertically by two elastic means, the number of assembly parts is increased by two elastic means, thereby increasing the assembly process time In addition, the manufacturing cost of the product also had a disadvantage.

Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a sliding device of a double sliding type portable communication device that facilitates sliding movement of a terminal by configuring a housing of the terminal to be slidably moved by a single elastic means.

In addition, the present invention is configured to be movable in each direction independently by a single elastic means in the housing of the terminal, by reducing the number of parts to improve the assembly process, the double sliding type to reduce the manufacturing cost A sliding device of a portable communication device is provided.
