- the connecting member 12 is composed of the holding body 13 and the pin 14 formed integrally therewith, even if a large operating load is applied to the pin 14 engaged with the telephone body 2, the operating load is reduced. Is transmitted to the holding body 13 and dispersed, so that the load received by the pin 14 itself is reduced, and the durability of the pin 14 can be improved by using the applied force S.
- the thickness of the case 11 itself can be reduced.
- a pinching body 13 integral with the pin 14 is provided on the pin 14 side of the connecting member 12.
- two coil springs 23 for urging the slider 22 are provided in parallel so as to obtain a desired urging force as a whole. Therefore, only one coil spring 23 is provided for each coil spring.
- the spring constant can be reduced compared to the case.
- the urging force of the individual coil springs 23 is prevented from lowering due to settling, so that the slide unit 10 has improved durability as a whole.
- the total biasing force can be increased, so that the length of each coil spring can be reduced as compared with the case of one coil spring. Therefore, the length of the entire slide unit 10 can be reduced.
- the suppression (frictional resistance) by the suppression unit 35 prevents the slide cover 3 from sliding vigorously with respect to the telephone body 2. it can. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a mechanical shock from being applied to the telephone body 2.
- the mobile phone (portable product) 1 including such a slide unit 10 can slide the slide cover 3 in the closing direction by the urging force of the coil spring 23 as described above.
- the heart cam mechanism provides a sense of moderation even when the operating load is reduced, and the slide unit 10 with improved durability at the pin 14 provides excellent operability and durability. Will also be excellent.

Therefore, the sliding speed of the holding body 113, the slider 122 connected thereto, and the sliding force bar 103 is slowed down by the regulation (frictional resistance) by the suppressing portion 135. Therefore, the slide cover 103 is prevented from vigorously sliding with respect to the telephone main body 102.
- the stroke amount is sufficiently secured by using the coil spring 123, and the slide cover 103 is moved in the closing direction by the urging force of the coil spring 123.
- the urging member 131 is provided at one end of the guide 130 for guiding the other end 124a of the cam follower 124, the urging member 131 also connects the connecting member 112 via the slider 122 to which the cam follower 124 is connected. It can be locked, and the slide cover 103 can be locked in an open state with respect to the telephone body 102. To release the lock from this state, the other end 124a of the cam follower 124 may be moved by staking the urging member 131, and at this time, the coil spring 123 is moved to the other end of the cam follower 124. Since the portion 124a is urged in the moving direction, the lock can be released easily and quickly with a smaller operating load.
- the opening and closing of the slide cover 103 can be performed easily and quickly. Further, such an operation can be performed by a normal opening / closing operation instead of a so-called push-push method, and therefore, it is possible to prevent the function of the slide cover 103 from being impaired due to an erroneous operation.
- two coil springs 123 for urging the slider 122 are provided in parallel so as to obtain a desired urging force as a whole, only one coil spring is provided for each coil spring. What! /, The spring constant can be reduced as compared with the case. As a result, a decrease in the urging force of the individual coil springs 123 due to set is prevented, so that the durability of the slide unit 110 as a whole is improved.
- the total biasing force can be increased, so that the length of each coil spring can be reduced as compared with the case of one coil spring. Therefore, the length of the entire slide unit 110 can be reduced.
