Abstract
Disclosed is a portable terminal with a camera lens provided on the housing of the terminal. The portable terminal includes a first guide member installed on the housing of the terminal at a position adjacent to the camera lens; a cover member having one or more guide rods, which are slidably joined with the first guide member, whereby the cover member slides on the housing so as to open or close the camera lens; one or more first stoppers formed on the first guide member; and second stoppers formed at the opposite ends of the cover member. When the cover member completely opens or closes the camera lens, the second stoppers formed on one of the opposite ends of the cover member are engaged with the first stoppers, thereby restricting the movement of the cover member.
