Description

Mounting device for portable communication device {CRADLING APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a mounting apparatus of a portable communication device configured to open and close to extend beyond the existing opening and closing area of the housing when the housing is mounted after sliding movement.

In general, the term “portable communication device” refers to a device that a user can carry and perform wireless communication with a counterpart. Such portable communication devices are referred to as HHP, CT-2 cellular phones, digital phones, PCS phones and PDAs, and are classified into various types in appearance. For example, wireless terminals are classified into bar-type, flip-type, folder-type, or slide-type wireless terminals according to their appearance. The above-mentioned conventional portable communication devices essentially have an antenna device, a data input / output device, and a data transmission / reception device. Of course, the data input device is commonly used as a keypad for inputting data mainly by finger pressing.

The slide type wireless terminal includes a main body having a keypad, a sliding body having a display unit, and a sliding module for sliding the sliding body from the main body.

However, the conventional slide type wireless terminals have the following problems. By using a separate cradle to conveniently view the information displayed on the display device, an uneconomical problem has arisen from the user's point of view. In fact, it is well known that the information displayed on the display device is easy to see only when it is inclined to face the user. However, in the related art, unless a separate holder is provided, the user may face while tilting the main body while holding it in the hand, but there is no separate holder on the tabletop, so the view of the screen displayed on the display device is inconvenient. .

In order to solve the above problems, the configuration of the mobile terminal and its sliding mounting device is disclosed in detail in already registered patent application No. 0678215.

1 and 2, the sliding mounting device 10 of the portable terminal includes a first housing 20 having a plurality of keys 21, a display device 31, and the first housing ( A first member 50 provided in the first housing 20, the second housing 30 sliding in the second housing 20 and inclinedly mounted on the first housing 20 after the sliding; A sliding guide part provided between the second member 60 fastened to the second housing 30 and the first and second members 50 and 60 to guide the sliding movement of the second housing 30 ( 70 and the second member 60 and the sliding guide part provided in the first member 50 and the sliding guide part 70 in a direction away from the state facing the first member 50. It consists of hinge means 80 which rotates 70 around hinge axis A1.

However, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the conventional sliding mounting apparatus of the portable terminal has a structure in which the opening and closing area D1 provided in the first housing is opened when the second housing is mounted after sliding. Since the opening / closing area D1 opens and closes only up to about 1/2 in the longitudinal direction of the first housing, the installation space of the keys of the first housing is limited, which causes a problem in that a plurality of other keys cannot be installed. there was.

In addition, since the conventional sliding mounting device of the portable terminal is composed of the first and second members, the hinge arm and the rod fastened to the first and second housings, a space for installing the above components is required, Increasing the thickness of the terminal has been a detrimental factor in slimming and miniaturization, and also has an disadvantage in that the manufacturing cost and assembly process increases due to the increase in the number of parts.

Therefore, when the second housing is mounted after sliding, it can be opened and closed to extend wider than the existing opening and closing area of the first housing. There is a need for a device that can reduce the number of manufacturing costs and assembly process.

The present invention is to provide a mounting device of the portable communication device to make the opening and closing area of the product more wide by configuring the bent link portion to open and close to extend than the existing opening and closing area of the housing when the housing is mounted after sliding movement. .

In addition, the present invention is configured to be inserted into the interior of the bent link portion and the hinge portion, the product can be slimmed and downsized, the mounting apparatus of the portable communication device to reduce the number of parts to reduce the manufacturing cost and assembly process To provide.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mounting apparatus of a portable communication device, comprising: a first housing having an opening and closing area; and a second housing provided with a display device, the second housing being mounted obliquely after sliding movement while maintaining a state facing the first housing. ,

A sliding guide part provided in the first housing and slidably guiding the second housing;

At least one refracted link portion provided between the first and second housings to open and close to extend from the open / close area when the second housing is inclinedly mounted after the sliding movement; And

It is provided in the first housing, rotatably coupled to the bent link portion, characterized in that it comprises at least one hinge portion for rotating the bent link portion when mounting the second housing after sliding movement .

As described above, according to the mounting apparatus of the portable communication device according to the present invention,

By arranging the bent link portion so that the housing can be opened and closed longer than the existing opening and closing area of the housing when the housing is slid and moved, the opening and closing area of the product can be used more widely, and the bent link portion and the hinge portion are moved into the housing. By being inserted, the product can be made slim and small, and the number of parts can be reduced, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and assembly processes.
