It is aimed to attain compatibility between a size reduction, a thickness reduction of a portable terminal and the ensuring of an energizing force is attained. An upper caseis coupled with a connecting portionto proceed in a predetermined direction with respect to a lower case. Two caseshave a close state in which they are overlapped mutually and an open state in which the upper caseis extended by moving in a predetermined direction. One end of a coil portionA is fixed to a second holeand the other end of the coil portionA is fixed to a third hole, and the connecting portionhas a torsion coil springthat applies an energizing force to two casessuch that the casesare brought into the close state or the open state. The coil portionA is arranged in a clearancethat is formed by a part of two caseswhen the two cases oppose to each other in the moving direction, and the clearanceis arranged in a vicinity on a predetermined direction with respect to the third holein the close state.

Sliding portable terminal

A mobile terminal includes: a first body including an operation part; a second body including a display; and a connector which rotatably connects the first body and the second body. The connector is connected to the first body, and rotates with respect to the first body about a first rotating shaft. The connector is connected to a lateral end of the second body, and rotates with respect to the second body about a second rotating shaft orthogonal to the first rotating shaft. A first fitting portion is formed on a connected surface of the connector to be connected with the second body. A second fitting portion which is fitted to the first fitting portion, is formed on the second body. When the second body relatively rotates about the second rotating shaft to overlap the connector on the connected surface, the first fitting portion fits to the second fitting portion.

Mobile terminal

In an information terminal apparatus with a camera having a rotating function, the object of the invention is to impart a predetermined torque to a camera so as to render the camera easily rotatable by the force of a finger in a desired direction and to continue its state of standstill when the rotation is stopped. An information terminal apparatus with a camera having a rotating function in accordance with the invention comprises: a camera unit including a cylindrical memberhaving a shaft portionC at one end thereof and for accommodating a camera therein, and an annular memberwhich is fitted over the shaft portionC; a main body portionhaving a bearing portionfor holding the annular memberand for rotatably supporting the camera unit; and an elastic memberprovided between the main body portionand the cylindrical member, wherein the elastic memberis arranged to impart a direction-of-axis force in an axial direction of the camera unit while moving together with the rotation of the camera unit.

Information terminal device provided with turning function carrying camera

The foldable portable terminal apparatus with a camera includes display sections on the front side (side A) and backside (side B) of the housing. When the housing () is open, both the person who is taking a picture using a camera () and the person who gets his/her picture taken can check the captured image simultaneously using the display (). When the housing () is closed, the image taken can be checked with the display section on the front. Images taken in the past are stored in association with telephone numbers. When a call arrives from one of the persons, ringing tone sounds and at the same time the image of the sender is displayed on the display section ().

Portable terminal device

Information terminal device provided with turning function-carrying camera

Brushless motors for portable information equipment that can be simultaneously reflow-soldered to a substrate and efficiently and densely mounted thereon in such a way that the coupled portion between the motor and the substrate has a high impact resistance, thereby providing small and reliable portable information equipment having a high productivity. The brushless motor including a housing having a bottom surface, a side surface, and a top surface, the bottom surface being located adjacent and opposite to a substrate of equipment; a plurality of lands ( ) on the bottom surface that can be mechanically or electrically joined with the substrate of the equipment; a stator ( ), a bearing device ( ), and a rotor ( ) inside said housing, the stator ( ) having a stator core ( ) and a coil ( ) wound around the stator core ( ), the rotor ( ) having a magnet ( ) and being supported by the bearing device ( ) so as to rotatably surround the periphery of the stator ( ), the rotor ( ) further including a circular weight ( ).

Packaging for automated supply of a brushless motor

An electromagnetic isolation apparatus for an electronic device such as a portable telephone is provided which includes first and second shield cases and elastic members such as rubber cushions. The first and second shield cases are disposed within a casing of the electronic device to surround at least part of both surfaces of a printed circuit board mounted within the electronic device. The elastic members are interposed between an inner wall of the casing of the electronic device and an outer surface of the first shield case and between the inner wall of the casing and an outer surface of the second shield case to produce elastic pressures urging the first and second shield cases into conductive engagement with the printed circuit board.

Brushless motor and its assembly method

The structure of the present invention includes a flexible printed circuit board (10) having a mounting portion 13 and a motor connecting member (11); a vibration motor (1) connected to the motor connecting member (11) and capable of generating vibrations; a motor cushion (25) for elastically holding the vibration motor (1); and a rectangular frame (52) for holding the motor cushion (25), wherein a second bent portion (60) and a third bent portion (61) for preventing transmission of vibrations generated by the vibration motor (1) are provided between the mounting portion (13) of the flexible printed circuit board (10) and the motor connecting member (11) of the same.

Device having a mounting structure for holding a vibrator

A battery holding apparatus holds a battery pack on a battery mount of an electronic device such as a portable telephone. The battery holding apparatus includes a holding member and a hook assembly. The holding member is provided on a first end of the battery mount and has formed thereon a claw fitted into a first recess formed on a first end of the battery pack. The hook assembly is provided on a second end portion of the battery mount opposite to the first end thereof and includes a spring and a protrusion. The protrusion is urged by the spring pressure produced by the spring into constant engagement with a second recess formed in a second end of the battery pack opposite to the first end thereof so as to split the spring pressure into a horizontal pressure and a vertical pressure. The horizontal pressure urges the second end of the battery pack against the holding member to eliminate any horizontal play of the battery pack on the battery mount. The vertical pressure urges the second end of the battery pack against the battery mount to eliminate any vertical play of the battery pack on the battery mount.
