Abstract
Disclosed are a swing-type portable digital communication terminal and a swing hinge device thereof. The portable digital communication apparatus comprises a main housing; a swing housing, which is in contact with the main housing in an initial state of the swing housing, the swing housing having a free end which becomes distant from the main housing when the swing housing is rotated around a first hinge axis, the swing housing being pushed by a force causing the swing housing to be automatically rotated around a second hinge axis and located in a final and inclined position of the swing housing when the swing housing has been rotated beyond a predetermined degree around the first hinge axis; and a swing hinge device mounted in the main housing and in close contact with a lower surface of the swing housing, so as to provide the force for rotating the swing housing into the inclined position of the swing housing.
