Abstract
A sliding mechanism used for an apparatus such as a portable device suppresses shaking between housing units in an opened state, closed state or on the way to opening/closing. A slide module is provided for opposed surfaces against a first housing unit (upper housing unit) and second housing unit (lower housing unit) to be slid. The slide module slidably supports the first and second housing units. Since the slide module has a slider and a fixing part that slidably supports the slider, it is structured that in case the first and second housing units are in an opened state, the slider is not exposed through the first and second housing units. Structure is included that compared with the first and second housing units in a closed state, in case in the opened state, a guide of the slider for the fixing part of the slide module is made wider.
