An electronic device comprises a first part having a first surface and a second part having a second surface confronting the first surface. The electronic device further comprises a slide module comprising a sledge part fixed on the first surface and a base part fixed on the second surface. The slide module permits a linear movement of said first part and said second part, wherein a maximum overlap of the sledge part and the base part occurs with a minimum overlap of said first part and said second part and a minimum overlap of the sledge part and the base part occurs with a maximum overlap of said first part and said second part.

Electronic device with overlapping sledge portion

A mobile electronic device including two planar panels that are typically suspended from one another and can assume a retracted position in which they substantially overlap one another and assume an extended position in which the panels do not completely overlap one another. In the extended position an additional portion of the elements of the user interface is exposed.

The invention relates to a flexible structure, a hinge and a shutter comprising such flexible structure. The invention further relates to a mobile communications apparatus and a mobile telephone comprising such hinge or shutter. The flexible structure comprises a plurality of elongated bars having a length axis and being connected to each other, wherein: At least some of the parallel bars are elastic in such a way that the first end part and the second end part of one bar are arranged rotatable in relation to each other around the length axis of the bar.

Flexible structure, hinge, shutter, mobile communications apparatus and mobile telephone

A communication unit has a housing part provided with a component for entering information and a slide assembly. The housing part is provided with a set of tracks along which the slide assembly is moveable relative to the housing part. The slide assembly or the housing part includes a component for moving the slide assembly along the tracks on the housing part. This component could be a wire spring, a motor or a gear-provided spring box that moves the slide assembly. The communication unit also has a component for decreasing the friction on the sliding surfaces in a communication unit having a slide. This component could be linear bearings positioned between the moving parts or internally lubricated materials used on the sliding surfaces.
