Description

本発明は、上面に操作部を有する第１筐体に対して上面にディスプレイ部を設けた第２筐体を簡単な操作で縦方向へスライドさせたり水平方向へ回転させたりして、ディスプレイ部を縦長と横長に用いることのできる携帯機器並びにこの携帯機器に用いて好適な開閉装置に関するものである。 According to the present invention, a second casing having a display section on the upper surface is slid in a vertical direction or rotated in a horizontal direction with respect to a first casing having an operation section on the upper surface, thereby displaying the display section. The present invention relates to a portable device that can be used vertically and horizontally, and a switchgear suitable for use in the portable device.

携帯機器の一種である例えば携帯電話機において、キーボード等の操作部を上面に設けた第１筐体と、ＬＣＤなどのディスプレイ部を上面に設けた第２筐体とを有し、これらの第１筐体と第２筐体とが重なり合って第２筐体で第１筐体の上面を覆う閉成状態と、第２筐体を第１筐体に対して縦方向にスライドさせて第１筐体の上面を露出させる開成状態とを作り出す、開閉装置付きのものが市場に出回っている。 A mobile phone, which is a type of mobile device, includes a first housing having an operation unit such as a keyboard on the top surface and a second housing having a display unit such as an LCD on the top surface. A closed state in which the housing and the second housing overlap so that the upper surface of the first housing is covered with the second housing, and the first housing is slid vertically with respect to the first housing. There are products on the market with an open / close device that creates an open state that exposes the upper surface of the body.

近年、携帯電話機は、通話機能の他にインターネット等の通信回線を利用した機能、デジタルカメラ機能、録音再生機能、テレビ受信機能、ゲーム機能等の多種多様な機能を備えたものが出回っており、単なる電話機の域を超えてそれは携帯機器と称することができる。このため、例えば、ディスプレイ部に特にテレビの動画を表示させてその動画を観る場合には、第２筐体を第１筐体に対して縦長にするよりは横長にして用いた方が適している。 In recent years, mobile phones with various functions such as a function using a communication line such as the Internet, a digital camera function, a recording / playback function, a television reception function, a game function, etc. in addition to a call function are on the market. Beyond just a telephone, it can be called a portable device. For this reason, for example, when a moving image of a television is particularly displayed on the display unit and the moving image is viewed, it is more suitable to use the second housing in a landscape orientation than in the first housing. Yes.

ところで、従来の携帯電話機には、第１筐体と第２筐体とを互いに縦方向に回転させることによって開成操作を行うものもあり、この種の携帯電話機の中には、第２筐体を第１筐体に対して横長にも回転操作させ得る携帯電話機が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１，２参照。）。特許文献１及び２に記載されている携帯電話機は、キーボード等の操作部を上面に設けた第１筐体と、ディスプレイ部等を下面に設けた第２筐体と、この第２筐体を開閉及び回転可能に支持する第３筐体とを備えている。この携帯電話機では、閉成状態のときには、第１筐体と第２筐体とが重なり合って第１筐体の上面と第２筐体の下面とが密接されて閉塞された状態である。この閉成状態から携帯電話機を使用する場合には、第１筐体に対して第２筐体を第３筐体を介して縦方向に回転させることによって、ディスプレイ部が外部に露出されるのでディスプレイ部を使用し得る状態になる。このとき、ディスプレイ部は、第１筐体に対して縦長になっている。ディスプレイ部を横長に使用する場合には、その縦長の第２筐体を第３筐体に対して９０度回転させることで、ディスプレイ部を横長に使用することができる。
特開２００６−２１１５７６号公報特開２００７−１８９５４１号公報 By the way, some conventional mobile phones perform the opening operation by rotating the first casing and the second casing in the vertical direction with respect to each other. Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Literatures 1 and 2). The mobile phone described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 includes a first housing having an operation unit such as a keyboard provided on the upper surface, a second housing provided with a display unit and the like on the lower surface, and the second housing. And a third housing that is supported to be openable and closable and rotatable. In this mobile phone, when the mobile phone is in a closed state, the first housing and the second housing are overlapped, and the upper surface of the first housing and the lower surface of the second housing are in close contact with each other and closed. When the mobile phone is used from this closed state, the display unit is exposed to the outside by rotating the second casing in the vertical direction via the third casing with respect to the first casing. The display unit can be used. At this time, the display unit is vertically long with respect to the first housing. When the display unit is used in landscape orientation, the display unit can be used in landscape orientation by rotating the vertically long second housing 90 degrees with respect to the third housing.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-21576 JP 2007-189541 A

しかしながら、特許文献１及び２に記載されている携帯電話機は、ディスプレイ部を有する第２筐体を縦長と横長の両方で使用し得るが、ディスプレイ部を横長に使用する場合に、第１筐体に対して第２筐体を第３筐体を介して縦方向に回転させてから、さらに、第２筐体を第３筐体に対して９０度回転させなければならず、開成操作が面倒であった。また、ディスプレイ部を横長に使用した後に閉じる場合には、第２筐体を第３筐体に対して９０度回転させてから、第１筐体に対して第２筐体を第３筐体を介して縦方向に回転させなければならず、閉じる場合にも閉成操作が面倒であった。さらに、第１筐体と第２筐体の他に第３筐体を必要とし、部品点数が多く、その分携帯電話機の厚さが増すという問題があった。 However, although the mobile phone described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 can use the second casing having the display portion in both portrait and landscape orientations, the first casing is used when the display portion is used in landscape orientation. The second housing must be rotated in the vertical direction through the third housing, and then the second housing must be rotated 90 degrees with respect to the third housing. Met. When the display unit is closed after being used in landscape orientation, the second housing is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the third housing, and then the second housing is moved with respect to the first housing. It has to be rotated in the vertical direction via the opening, and the closing operation is troublesome even when closing. Furthermore, in addition to the first housing and the second housing, the third housing is required, and there is a problem that the number of parts is large and the thickness of the mobile phone is increased correspondingly.

本発明の目的は、部品点数が少なくて開閉操作を容易に行える携帯機器並びにこの携帯機器に用いる開閉装置を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a portable device that can be easily opened and closed with a small number of components, and an opening and closing device used for the portable device.

前記の目的を達成するための本発明に係る携帯機器は、上面に操作部を設けた第１筐体と上面にディスプレイ部を設けた第２筐体とからなり、前記第１筐体と前記第２筐体とを互いに重ね合わせた閉成状態から、前記第２筐体を前記第１筐体に対して縦方向に相対的にスライドさせることによって当該第２筐体を縦向きにさせた状態で前記第１筐体の前記操作部をフル操作可能に露出させる第１開成状態と、前記第２筐体を前記第１筐体に対して水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせることによって当該第２筐体を横向きにさせた状態で前記第１筐体の前記操作部をフル操作可能に露出させる第２開成状態とを作り出し、これら２つのどちらかの開成操作が選択されたときには、他方の開閉操作が規制されるように構成したことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, a portable device according to the present invention includes a first housing having an operation unit on an upper surface and a second housing having a display unit on an upper surface. From the closed state in which the second casings are overlapped with each other, the second casing is made to be vertically oriented by sliding the second casing relative to the first casing in the vertical direction. A first open state in which the operation unit of the first housing is exposed to be fully operable in a state, and the second housing is slid horizontally while rotating with respect to the first housing in the horizontal direction. To create a second open state in which the operation portion of the first housing is exposed in a fully operable manner in a state where the second housing is turned sideways, and when one of these two opening operations is selected The other opening / closing operation is restricted. To.

この発明によれば、上面に操作部を設けた第１筐体と上面にディスプレイ部を設けた第２筐体とを互いに重ね合わせた閉成状態から、第２筐体を第１筐体に対してスライド機構を介して縦方向にスライドさせて第１開成状態としたり、回転機構を介して水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせて第２開成状態としたりすることができる。このとき、スライド機構と回転機構とのいずれか一方の機構の動作中においては他方の機構の動作が規制手段によって規制されているので、操作性が向上する。また、これらの開成状態において、第１筐体の上面の操作部を操作できるので、部品点数を少なくした上で開閉操作時の操作性を大幅に向上させることができる。 According to this invention, the second casing is changed from the closed state in which the first casing having the operation unit on the upper surface and the second casing having the display unit on the upper surface are overlapped with each other. On the other hand, it can be slid in the vertical direction via the slide mechanism to be in the first open state, or can be slid in the horizontal direction while being rotated in the horizontal direction via the rotation mechanism to be in the second open state. At this time, during the operation of one of the slide mechanism and the rotation mechanism, the operation of the other mechanism is restricted by the restricting means, so that the operability is improved. Further, since the operation unit on the upper surface of the first housing can be operated in these opened states, the operability during the opening / closing operation can be greatly improved while reducing the number of components.

There is no particular limitation as long as the body 12 slides while rotating from the closed state to the second open state. For example, when the body 12 is in the closed state in which the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 overlap each other, FIG. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6A, the first rotary slide guide member 53 is positioned at one end of the first guide long hole 71 and the second rotary slide guide member 54 is the second guide. When the second housing 12 is slid while rotating from the closed state to the first housing 11 from the closed state, the first rotation slide guide member 53 is moved to the first guide length. Move in the direction of the other end of the hole 71 and When the rotary slide guide member 54 moves toward the other end of the second guide slot 72 and is in an intermediate state, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 6B, the first rotary slide guide is provided. The member 53 is positioned substantially at the center of the first guide slot 71 (substantially the top of the center of the U-shape), and the second rotary slide guide member 54 is positioned at the center of the second guide slot 72.

In the second opened state, the second housing 12 is in a horizontally long state with respect to the first housing 11, that is, the second housing 12 is in the longitudinal direction of the first housing 11 with respect to the first housing 11. The longitudinal direction of the second housing 12 is positioned in a direction substantially orthogonal to the second housing 12. At this time, the second housing 12 is positioned above the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are configured to be substantially T-shaped in plan view so that the substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the first housing 11 is positioned at the substantially central portion of the width of the first housing 11. It is preferable that In addition, although the 1st rotation slide guide member 53 was made to be located in the approximate top part of the character of the 1st guide long hole 71 at the time of an intermediate state, it is not limited to this, At the time of an intermediate state In addition, the first rotation slide guide member 53 may not be located at the approximate top of the character of the first guide long hole 71.

回転付勢手段９は、ベース部材７に対して係合部材５を所定の回転スライド位置例えば第２中立状態から閉成方向又は開成方向に回転付勢するものである。回転付勢手段９としては、特に限定されず、コイル状のコンプレッションスプリング等でもよいが、例えば、第２扁平スプリング９１等であることが好ましい。第２扁平スプリング９１は、１本の線材を同一平面上で規則的又は不規則的に重なり合うことなく折り曲げたものであり、第１回転スライド案内部材５３を第１ガイド長孔７１のいずれか一方の端部に位置されるような付勢力を有するものである。第２扁平スプリング９１は、例えば、ベース部材７の裏面に位置されている。第２扁平スプリング９１の一端部には、ベース部材７のスプリング取付部９８に回動可能に装着される装着部９１ａが設けられていると共に、その他端部は、例えば第２扁平スプリング９１の長手方向に直線状に延びてから第１回転スライド案内部材５３のスプリング取付部５３ｂに回動可能に装着される装着部９１ｂが設けられている。これら装着部９１ａ，９１bは、例えば、線材を略円形状に折り曲げて形成されている。 The rotation urging means 9 urges the engagement member 5 to rotate in a closing direction or an opening direction from a predetermined rotation slide position, for example, a second neutral state, with respect to the base member 7. The rotation urging means 9 is not particularly limited and may be a coiled compression spring or the like, but is preferably the second flat spring 91 or the like, for example. The second flat spring 91 is formed by bending one wire rod on the same plane without regularly or irregularly overlapping, and the first rotation slide guide member 53 is either one of the first guide long holes 71. It has an urging force such that it is located at the end of the. The 2nd flat spring 91 is located in the back surface of the base member 7, for example. One end of the second flat spring 91 is provided with a mounting portion 91 a that is rotatably mounted on the spring mounting portion 98 of the base member 7, and the other end is, for example, the length of the second flat spring 91. A mounting portion 91 b is provided that extends linearly in the direction and is rotatably mounted on the spring mounting portion 53 b of the first rotary slide guide member 53. These mounting portions 91a and 91b are formed, for example, by bending a wire rod into a substantially circular shape.

第２扁平スプリング９１の長さは、閉成状態又は第２開成状態にあるベース部材７のスプリング取付部９８と第１ガイド長孔の両端部との間の長さと略同じ寸法で形成されていてもよいが、その長さより短い寸法、例えば、若干短い寸法で形成されていることが好ましい。これにより、第２扁平スプリング９１は、閉成状態及び第２開成状態のときには付勢力に抗して伸び、この付勢力によって閉成状態又は第２開成状態が保持されるようになっている。 The length of the second flat spring 91 is substantially the same as the length between the spring mounting portion 98 of the base member 7 in the closed state or the second open state and both ends of the first guide long hole. However, it is preferably formed with a dimension shorter than the length, for example, a slightly shorter dimension. As a result, the second flat spring 91 extends against the urging force in the closed state and the second opened state, and the closed state or the second opened state is held by this urging force.

ロックレバー部材４３は、係合部材５の裏面（下面）に支持ピン４８を介して回動可能に支持される回動部４３ａと、回動部４３ａから延びるアーム部４３ｂの先端部に設けられる規制係合突部４２とを有してなる。このロックレバー部材４３が回動可能に支持される係合部材５（基板部５１の図面上右側の側部近傍）には、規制係合長孔４１が設けられている。規制係合長孔４１は、第１端部４１ａがスライダー部材６のスライド係合部６１と対向すると共に略中心に支持ピン取付孔５１ａが位置されるような円弧状に形成されている。この規制係合長孔４１を貫通した状態で挿入されると共に、さらに先端部がスライダー部材６に設けられた規制係合部４６と係合し得る長さに規制係合突部４２が形成されている。これにより、ロックレバー部材４３は、規制係合突部４２が規制係合長孔４１の第１端部４１ａから他方の端部までの間で移動できると共に、規制係合突部４２が規制係合部４６と係合し得るように係合部材５に回動可能に取り付けられている。 The lock lever member 43 is provided at a distal end portion of a rotation portion 43a that is rotatably supported on the back surface (lower surface) of the engagement member 5 via a support pin 48 and an arm portion 43b that extends from the rotation portion 43a. And a restricting engagement protrusion 42. A restriction engagement long hole 41 is provided in the engagement member 5 (in the vicinity of the right side of the substrate portion 51 in the drawing) where the lock lever member 43 is rotatably supported. The restriction engagement long hole 41 is formed in an arc shape such that the first end portion 41 a faces the slide engagement portion 61 of the slider member 6 and the support pin mounting hole 51 a is positioned substantially at the center. The restriction engagement protrusion 42 is formed to a length that can be inserted into the restriction engagement long hole 41 and that can be engaged with the restriction engagement portion 46 provided on the slider member 6. ing. As a result, the lock lever member 43 can move the restriction engagement protrusion 42 from the first end 41a of the restriction engagement long hole 41 to the other end, and the restriction engagement protrusion 42 can be restricted. It is rotatably attached to the engaging member 5 so as to be able to engage with the joint portion 46.

規制係合部４６は、規制係合突部４２と係合してスライド機構２及び回転機構３の動作を規制するものである。規制係合部４６は、回転機構３の動作を規制する第１規制係合部４６ａとスライド機構２の動作を規制するする第２規制係合部４６ｂとからなる。第１規制係合部４６ａは、例えば、スライダー部材の規制係合長孔４１と対向するスライド係合部６１の近傍にその長手方向に延びた直線状の長孔で形成されている。この第１規制係合部４６ａは、閉成状態のときに規制係合突部４２が前端部４６ｃに位置されると共に、係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６がスライド可能な長さで形成されている。第２規制係合部４６ｂは、例えば、第１規制係合部４６ａの前端部４６ｃから閉成状態のときの規制係合長孔４１の第１端部４１ａと対向する位置までのスライダー部材６（スライド係合部６１を含む）に貫通して規制係合突部４２が移動し得る形状の孔で形成されている。この規制係合突部４２を第１端部４１ａに位置されるようにロックレバー部材４３を付勢するレバー部材付勢手段４４が設けられている。 The restriction engagement portion 46 is engaged with the restriction engagement protrusion 42 to restrict the operations of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3. The restriction engagement portion 46 includes a first restriction engagement portion 46 a that restricts the operation of the rotation mechanism 3 and a second restriction engagement portion 46 b that restricts the operation of the slide mechanism 2. The first restricting / engaging portion 46a is formed by, for example, a linear long hole extending in the longitudinal direction in the vicinity of the slide engaging portion 61 facing the restricting engagement long hole 41 of the slider member. The first restricting / engaging portion 46a is formed with a length that allows the restricting / engaging protrusion 42 to be positioned at the front end 46c and the slider member 6 to be slidable with respect to the engaging member 5 in the closed state. Has been. The second restriction engagement portion 46b is, for example, the slider member 6 from the front end portion 46c of the first restriction engagement portion 46a to a position facing the first end portion 41a of the restriction engagement long hole 41 in the closed state. It is formed by a hole having a shape through which the restriction engagement protrusion 42 can move (including the slide engagement portion 61). Lever member urging means 44 for urging the lock lever member 43 is provided so that the restricting engagement protrusion 42 is positioned at the first end 41a.

レバー部材付勢手段４４は、コイル状のコンプレッションスプリング等であってもよいが、例えば、公知のスプリングの線材を略Ｕ字状に折り曲げてなるＵスプリング４４ａ等であることが好ましい。Ｕスプリング４４ａの一端部がロックレバー部材４３に取り付けられていると共に他端部が係合部材５の裏面に取付ピン４９を介して取り付けられている。なお、Ｕスプリング４４ａの一端部は、ロックレバー部材４３に当接させるようにしてもよい。また、係合部材５の裏面には、Ｕスプリング４４ａの他端部側を支持するスプリング支持部４７を設けてもよい。Ｕスプリング４４ａの付勢力により、規制係合突部４２が第１端部４１ａに位置されるようにロックレバー部材４３が付勢されるが、ロックレバー部材４３は、閉成状態のときに規制係合凸部４５と接触する。 The lever member urging means 44 may be a coiled compression spring or the like, but is preferably, for example, a U spring 44a formed by bending a known spring wire into a substantially U shape. One end of the U spring 44 a is attached to the lock lever member 43, and the other end is attached to the back surface of the engagement member 5 via an attachment pin 49. Note that one end of the U spring 44 a may be brought into contact with the lock lever member 43. In addition, a spring support portion 47 that supports the other end portion side of the U spring 44 a may be provided on the back surface of the engagement member 5. The lock lever member 43 is urged by the urging force of the U spring 44a so that the restriction engagement protrusion 42 is positioned at the first end 41a. However, the lock lever member 43 is restricted when it is in the closed state. Contact with the engaging projection 45.

規制係合凸部４５は、ベース部材７の上面の下端部の略中央部に例えば円柱状に突出して設けられている。規制係合凸部４５は、閉成状態のときにロックレバー部材４３の回動部４３ａと接触（係合）して規制係合突部４２が規制係合長孔４１の第１端部４１ａから離れるようにロックレバー部材４３を回転させるものである（特に図６（ａ）参照。）。また、規制係合凸部４５は、閉成状態から回転機構３によりベース部材７に対して係合部材５が水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向へスライドしたときには、ロックレバー部材４３の回動部４３ａから離れるように設けられており（特に図６（ｂ）参照。）、規制係合凸部４５とロックレバー部材４３との係合が解除されて、ロックレバー部材４３がＵスプリング４４ａの付勢力により回転して規制係合突部４２が規制係合長孔４１の第１端部４１ａに位置されるようになっている。 The restricting engagement convex portion 45 is provided in a substantially central portion of the lower end portion of the upper surface of the base member 7 so as to protrude, for example, in a columnar shape. The restriction engagement protrusion 45 comes into contact (engagement) with the rotation part 43 a of the lock lever member 43 in the closed state, and the restriction engagement protrusion 42 is the first end 41 a of the restriction engagement long hole 41. The lock lever member 43 is rotated so as to be away from (see FIG. 6A in particular). Further, when the engaging member 5 slides in the lateral direction while rotating in the horizontal direction with respect to the base member 7 by the rotating mechanism 3 from the closed state, the restricting engaging convex portion 45 rotates the rotating portion of the lock lever member 43. 43a (see FIG. 6 (b) in particular), the engagement between the restricting engagement projection 45 and the lock lever member 43 is released, and the lock lever member 43 is attached to the U spring 44a. The restricting engagement protrusion 42 is positioned at the first end 41 a of the restricting engagement long hole 41 by being rotated by the force.

これにより、閉成状態のときには、規制係合突部４２が規制係合部４６（第１規制係合部４６ａ）の前端部４６ｃに位置されて、回転機構３による動作とスライド機構２による動作とのいずれか一方の動作を行え、閉成状態からスライド機構２により係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６が縦方向へスライドしたときには、規制係合突部４２が第１規制係合部４６ａ内を後端部方向に移動して回転機構３による動作が規制されると共に、閉成状態から回転機構３によりベース部材７に対して係合部材５が水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向へスライドしたときには、規制係合凸部４５とロックレバー部材４３との係合が解除されて規制係合突部４２が規制係合長孔４１の第１端部４１ａに移動してスライド機構２による動作が規制されるように構成されている。 Thus, in the closed state, the restriction engagement protrusion 42 is positioned at the front end 46c of the restriction engagement part 46 (first restriction engagement part 46a), and the operation by the rotation mechanism 3 and the operation by the slide mechanism 2 are performed. When the slider member 6 is slid in the longitudinal direction with respect to the engagement member 5 by the slide mechanism 2 from the closed state, the restriction engagement protrusion 42 is the first restriction engagement portion 46a. The movement of the rotating mechanism 3 is restricted by moving in the rear end direction, and the engaging member 5 is slid in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction with respect to the base member 7 by the rotating mechanism 3 from the closed state. When this is done, the engagement between the restricting engagement convex portion 45 and the lock lever member 43 is released, and the restricting engagement protrusion 42 moves to the first end 41a of the restricting engagement long hole 41 to operate by the slide mechanism 2. Configured to be regulated It has been.

次に本発明に係る第１の開閉装置１及び携帯機器１０の作用を説明する。 Next, the operation of the first opening / closing device 1 and the portable device 10 according to the present invention will be described.

携帯機器１０が使用されていない状態では、通常、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに重なり合った閉成状態である（図１（ａ）及び図２（ａ）参照。）。このとき、第１扁平スプリング８１はその付勢力に抗して撓んで第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を第１中立状態から閉成状態へと付勢していると共に、第２扁平スプリング９１はその付勢力に抗して伸びて第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を第２中立状態から閉成状態へと付勢しているので、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とは互いにほぼ完全に重なり合った閉成状態に保持されている。なお、この閉成状態をより確実に保持するために、ロック機構を設けるようにしてもよい。 When the portable device 10 is not used, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are normally in a closed state where they overlap each other (see FIGS. 1A and 2A). At this time, the first flat spring 81 bends against the urging force to urge the second housing 12 against the first housing 11 from the first neutral state to the closed state. The two flat springs 91 extend against the biasing force and bias the second housing 12 against the first housing 11 from the second neutral state to the closed state. And the second housing 12 are held in a closed state where they almost completely overlap each other. In addition, in order to hold | maintain this closed state more reliably, you may make it provide a lock mechanism.

また、閉成状態のとき、規制係合凸部４５がロックレバー部材４３に係合して規制係合突部４２が規制係合長孔４１の第１端部４１ａから離れて規制係合部４６（第１規制係合部４６ａ）の前端部４６ｃに位置されているので（図６（ａ）参照。）、回転機構３による動作とスライド機構２による動作とのいずれか一方の動作を行える状態である。よって、閉成状態のとき、第１筐体１１及び第２筐体１２は、スライド機構２と回転機構３とのいずれか一方の機構により動作を行える状態である。 In the closed state, the restricting engagement protrusion 45 engages with the lock lever member 43, and the restricting engagement protrusion 42 moves away from the first end 41 a of the restricting engagement long hole 41. 46 (first restricting engagement portion 46a) is positioned at the front end portion 46c (see FIG. 6A), so that either the operation by the rotation mechanism 3 or the operation by the slide mechanism 2 can be performed. State. Therefore, in the closed state, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in a state where the operation can be performed by either one of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3.

この携帯機器１０をディスプレイ部１４を縦長にして使う場合には、例えば、第１筐体１１を一方の手で持って固定した状態で、もう一方の手で第２筐体１２を縦方向（その長手方向）の開成方向に押してスライドさせる。もちろんこの操作を片方の手だけで行うこともできる。すると、係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６が縦方向にスライドして、第１扁平スプリング８１のそれぞれの両端部間の長さがスライド幅に応じて徐々に短くなる、すなわち、第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を縦方向にスライドさせると、第１扁平スプリング８１が荷重を受けてさらに撓むことになる。 When the portable device 10 is used with the display unit 14 being vertically long, for example, the first housing 11 is held and fixed with one hand, and the second housing 12 is held vertically with the other hand ( Push in the opening direction (longitudinal direction) and slide. Of course, you can do this with just one hand. Then, the slider member 6 slides in the longitudinal direction with respect to the engaging member 5, and the length between the both end portions of the first flat spring 81 gradually decreases according to the slide width, that is, the first housing. If the 2nd housing | casing 12 is slid to the vertical direction with respect to the body 11, the 1st flat spring 81 will receive a load and will further bend.

そして、図２（ｂ）に示したように、第１扁平スプリング８１の両端部間の長さが最小になった状態が中立状態（図示例では中間状態）であり、この中立状態を過ぎると、第１扁平スプリング８１の両端部の位置が前後に入れ替わると共に、第１扁平スプリング８１の付勢力により係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６が開成方向に付勢される。これにより、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに開成方向に自動的にスライド移動して、第１筐体１１の上面に設けたキーボード部等の操作部１３がフル操作可能に露出する第１開成状態になり、その状態に保持される（図１（ｂ）及び図２（ｃ）参照。）。なお、この第１開成状態をより確実に保持するために、ロック機構を設けるようにしてもよい。よって、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに重なり合っている閉成状態からディスプレイ部１４が縦長となる第１開成状態にスライド移動させるときには、その中間状態から半自動（セミオート）で開成動作を行えることになる。 And as shown in FIG.2 (b), the state where the length between the both ends of the 1st flat spring 81 became the minimum is a neutral state (in the example of an illustration), and if this neutral state is passed, The positions of both end portions of the first flat spring 81 are changed back and forth, and the urging force of the first flat spring 81 urges the slider member 6 against the engaging member 5 in the opening direction. As a result, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are automatically slid in the opening direction so that the operation unit 13 such as a keyboard provided on the upper surface of the first housing 11 can be fully operated. It will be in the 1st open state which exposes, and is hold | maintained in the state (refer FIG.1 (b) and FIG.2 (c)). In addition, in order to hold | maintain this 1st open state more reliably, you may make it provide a locking mechanism. Therefore, when the display unit 14 is slid and moved from the closed state in which the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 overlap each other to the first open state in which the display unit 14 is vertically long, it is opened semi-automatically from the intermediate state. It will be possible to operate.

また、閉成状態からスライド機構２により第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２をスライドさせると、規制係合突部４２が第１規制係合部４６ａ内を前端部４６ｃから後端部方向に移動して回転機構３による動作が規制されるので、回転機構３による動作が行われることがない。よって、第１筐体１１及び第２筐体１２のスライド機構２によるスライド動作をスムーズに行える。 Further, when the second housing 12 is slid with respect to the first housing 11 by the slide mechanism 2 from the closed state, the restricting engagement protrusion 42 moves from the front end portion 46c to the rear end in the first restricting engagement portion 46a. Since the movement by the rotation mechanism 3 is restricted by moving in the direction of the part, the movement by the rotation mechanism 3 is not performed. Therefore, the sliding operation by the sliding mechanism 2 of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be performed smoothly.

次に、第１筐体１１に対して完全に縦長に開いた第１開成状態の第２筐体１２を閉成状態に戻すには、例えば、第１筐体１１を一方の手で持って固定した状態で第２筐体１２をもう一方に手で押して縦方向の閉成方向にスライドさせる。もちろんこの操作は片方の手のみで行うことは可能である。すると、第１扁平スプリング８１は付勢力に抗してさらに撓んでいき、中立状態を過ぎると、第１扁平スプリング８１の先端部が互いに離間する方向に付勢されるので、第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２が閉成方向に自動的にスライド移動して閉成状態となる。よって、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とを第１開成状態から閉成状態にスライド移動させるときには、中立状態から半自動（セミオート）でスライド動作を行えることになる。尚、このセミオートによるスライド動作は、開成方向又は閉成方向の一方向のみであってもよい。また、第１開成状態から閉成状態になるとき、規制係合突部４２が第１規制係合部４６ａ内を後端部側から前端部４６ｃ方向に移動して、閉成状態になると、規制係合突部４２が規制係合部４６の前端部４６ｃに位置されるので、スライド機構２及び回転機構３のいずれか一方の機構により動作を行える状態となる。 Next, in order to return the second housing 12 in the first open state, which is completely vertically open to the first housing 11, to the closed state, for example, hold the first housing 11 with one hand. In a fixed state, the second housing 12 is pushed to the other side by hand and is slid in the vertical closing direction. Of course, this operation can be performed with only one hand. Then, the first flat spring 81 is further bent against the urging force, and when the neutral state is passed, the front end portions of the first flat spring 81 are urged away from each other. On the other hand, the second housing 12 automatically slides in the closing direction to be in a closed state. Therefore, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are slid from the first open state to the closed state, the sliding operation can be performed semi-automatically (semi-automatically) from the neutral state. Note that the semi-automatic sliding operation may be only in one direction of the opening direction or the closing direction. Further, when the first engagement state is changed to the closed state, when the restriction engagement protrusion 42 moves in the first restriction engagement portion 46a from the rear end side toward the front end portion 46c, Since the restriction engagement protrusion 42 is positioned at the front end portion 46 c of the restriction engagement portion 46, the operation can be performed by either one of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3.

また、携帯機器１０をディスプレイ部１４を横長にして使う場合には、例えば、第１筐体１１を一方の手で持って固定した状態で、もう一方の手で第２筐体１２を例えば右回りの水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせる。もちろんこの操作を片方の手だけで行うこともできる。すると、回転機構３によりベース部材７に対して係合部材５（スライダー部材６を含む）が水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向へスライドして、第１回転スライド案内部材５３が第１ガイド長孔７１の一端部から頂部に向かって移動すると共に、第２回転スライド案内部材５４が第２ガイド長孔７２の一端部から他端部に向かって移動して、第２扁平スプリング９１のそれぞれの両端部間の長さが開成動作に応じて徐々に長くなる、すなわち、第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせると、第２扁平スプリング９１が荷重を受けてさらにその付勢力に抗して伸びることになる。 Further, when the mobile device 10 is used with the display unit 14 being horizontally long, for example, the first housing 11 is held and fixed with one hand, and the second housing 12 is held with the other hand, for example, right Slide horizontally to rotate around the horizontal. Of course, you can do this with just one hand. Then, the engaging member 5 (including the slider member 6) slides in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction with respect to the base member 7 by the rotation mechanism 3, and the first rotary slide guide member 53 is in the first guide slot. 71, the second rotary slide guide member 54 moves from one end of the second guide slot 72 toward the other end, and both ends of the second flat spring 91 are moved. When the length between the portions gradually increases in accordance with the opening operation, that is, when the second housing 12 is slid in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction with respect to the first housing 11, the second flat spring 91. When the load is received, it will stretch further against its biasing force.

そして、図１（ｃ）及び図３（ａ）に示したように、第１回転スライド案内部材５３が第１ガイド長孔７１のへの字の略頂部に至ると、第２扁平スプリング９１の両端部間の長さが最大になり、この状態が中立状態（図示例では中間状態）である。この中立状態を過ぎると、第１回転スライド案内部材５３が第１ガイド長孔７１の頂部を過ぎるので、第２扁平スプリング９１の付勢力により係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６が開成方向に付勢される。これにより、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに開成方向に自動的に水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向へスライドして、第１回転スライド案内部材５３が第１ガイド長孔７１の他端部に移動すると共に、第２回転スライド案内部材５４が第２ガイド長孔７２の他端部に移動して、第１筐体１１の上面に設けたキーボード部等の操作部１３がフル操作可能に露出すると共に第２筐体１２（ディスプレイ部１４）が横長になる第２全開成状態になり、その状態に保持される（図１（ｄ）及び図３（ｂ）参照。）。なお、この第２開成状態をより確実に保持するために、ロック機構を設けるようにしてもよい。よって、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに重なり合っている閉成状態から第２開成状態に水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせるときには、その中間状態から半自動（セミオート）で開成動作を行えることになる。 As shown in FIG. 1C and FIG. 3A, when the first rotation slide guide member 53 reaches a substantially top portion of the first guide long hole 71, the second flat spring 91 is moved. The length between both ends becomes the maximum, and this state is a neutral state (in the illustrated example, an intermediate state). When the neutral state is passed, the first rotary slide guide member 53 passes the top of the first guide long hole 71, so that the slider member 6 moves in the opening direction with respect to the engagement member 5 by the urging force of the second flat spring 91. Be energized. As a result, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide in the lateral direction while automatically rotating in the horizontal direction in the opening direction, so that the first rotation slide guide member 53 is in the first guide slot 71. The second rotary slide guide member 54 moves to the other end of the second guide slot 72, and the operation unit 13 such as a keyboard provided on the upper surface of the first housing 11 is moved. The second casing 12 (display unit 14) is exposed to be fully operable and is in the second fully opened state in which the second casing 12 (display unit 14) is horizontally long, and is held in that state (see FIGS. 1D and 3B). . In addition, in order to hold | maintain this 2nd open state more reliably, you may make it provide a lock mechanism. Accordingly, when the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are slid in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction from the closed state in which the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are overlapped with each other, the intermediate state is semi-automatically (semi-automatic). The opening operation can be performed.

また、閉成状態から回転機構３により第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせると、ロックレバー部材４３が規制係合凸部４５から離れてロックレバー部材４３と規制係合凸部４５との係合が解除される（図６（ｂ）参照。）。この係合が解除されると、ロックレバー部材４３は、Ｕスプリング４４ａの付勢力により回転して、規制係合突部４２が規制係合長孔４１内を第１端部４１ａへと移動すると共に、規制係合突部４２が前端部４６ｃから第２規制係合部４６ｂと移動して係合するために、スライド機構２によるスライド動作が規制される。よって、第１筐体１１及び第２筐体１２の回転機構３による動作をスムーズに行える。 Further, when the second housing 12 is slid in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction with respect to the first housing 11 by the rotation mechanism 3 from the closed state, the lock lever member 43 is separated from the restricting engagement convex portion 45. Thus, the engagement between the lock lever member 43 and the restricting engagement convex portion 45 is released (see FIG. 6B). When this engagement is released, the lock lever member 43 is rotated by the urging force of the U spring 44a, and the restriction engagement protrusion 42 moves in the restriction engagement long hole 41 to the first end 41a. At the same time, the restricting engagement protrusion 42 moves from the front end portion 46c and engages with the second restricting engagement portion 46b, so that the slide operation by the slide mechanism 2 is restricted. Therefore, the operation | movement by the rotation mechanism 3 of the 1st housing | casing 11 and the 2nd housing | casing 12 can be performed smoothly.

次に、第１筐体１１に対して完全に横長に開いた第２開成状態の第２筐体１２を閉成状態に戻すには、例えば、第１筐体１１を一方の手で持って固定した状態で第２筐体１２をもう一方に手で押して閉成方向に水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせる。もちろんこの操作は片方の手のみで行うことは可能である。すると、第２扁平スプリング９１はその付勢力に抗してさらに伸びて、中立状態を過ぎると、第２扁平スプリング９１がその付勢力により縮むので、第１筐体１１に対し第２筐体１２が閉成方向に自動的に水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向へスライドして閉成状態となる。よって、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とを第２開成状態から閉成状態に水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせるときには、中立状態から半自動（セミオート）で閉成動作を行えることになる。尚、このセミオートによる動作は、開成方向又は閉成方向の一方向のみであってもよい。 Next, in order to return the second housing 12 in the second open state, which is completely horizontally open to the first housing 11, to the closed state, for example, hold the first housing 11 with one hand. In a fixed state, the second housing 12 is pushed by hand to the other side and is slid in the lateral direction while rotating in the closing direction in the horizontal direction. Of course, this operation can be performed with only one hand. Then, the second flat spring 91 is further extended against the biasing force, and when the neutral state is passed, the second flat spring 91 is contracted by the biasing force. Slid in the lateral direction while automatically rotating in the closing direction in the horizontal direction to be in the closed state. Therefore, when the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are slid laterally while rotating in the horizontal direction from the second opened state to the closed state, the closing operation can be performed semi-automatically (semi-automatically) from the neutral state. It will be. The semi-automatic operation may be only in one direction of the opening direction or the closing direction.

また、第２開成状態から閉成状態になるとき、はじめはロックレバー部材４３と規制係合凸部４５とは離れて係合していないが、閉成状態になる前にロックレバー部材４３が規制係合凸部４５に接触して閉成動作に応じてロックレバー部材４３がＵスプリング４４ａの付勢力により抗して回転して、規制係合突部４２が規制係合長孔４１内を第１端部４１ａから離間する方向に移動する。閉成状態になると、規制係合突部４２が規制係合部４６の前端部４６ｃに位置されるので、スライド機構２及び回転機構３のいずれか一方の機構により動作を行える状態となる。 When the second open state is changed to the closed state, the lock lever member 43 and the restricting engagement convex portion 45 are not engaged with each other at first, but before the lock lever member 43 is closed, The lock lever member 43 rotates against the urging force of the U spring 44a according to the closing operation by contacting the restricting engagement convex portion 45, and the restricting engagement protrusion 42 moves in the restricting engagement long hole 41. It moves in a direction away from the first end 41a. When in the closed state, the restriction engagement protrusion 42 is positioned at the front end 46 c of the restriction engagement portion 46, so that the operation can be performed by one of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3.

したがって、本発明に係る第１の開閉装置１及び携帯機器１０は、閉成状態と第１開成状態との間の開閉動作、及び閉成状態と第２開成状態との間の開閉動作を１つの動作で行え、かつ、スライド機構２と回転機構３とのいずれか一方の機構の動作中においては他方の機構の動作が規制手段４によって規制されているので、部品点数を少なくした上で操作性を大幅に向上させることができる。また、第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を縦長と横長の両方で使用できるために、第３筐体を必要とすることがないので、携帯機器１０の薄型化を図れる。 Therefore, the first opening / closing device 1 and the portable device 10 according to the present invention perform the opening / closing operation between the closed state and the first opened state and the opening / closing operation between the closed state and the second opened state. The operation of one of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3 is restricted by the restricting means 4 during the operation of one of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3, so that the operation is performed with a reduced number of parts. Can greatly improve the performance. In addition, since the second casing 12 can be used in both the portrait and landscape orientations with respect to the first casing 11, the third casing is not required, so that the portable device 10 can be thinned.

また、第２開成状態のとき、第２筐体１２は、第１筐体１１に対して横長状態であって第１筐体１１の上方に位置されていると共に、第２筐体１２の長手方向の略中央部が第１筐体１１の幅の略中央部に位置されて、第２筐体１２は第１筐体１１に対して左右略均等に配置されている、すなわち、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが平面略Ｔ字状になっているので、ディスプレイ部１４を見ながらキーボード部等の操作部１３の操作がし易く、操作性がよい。 In the second open state, the second housing 12 is in a horizontally long state with respect to the first housing 11 and is positioned above the first housing 11, and the length of the second housing 12 is long. The substantially central portion of the direction is positioned at the substantially central portion of the width of the first housing 11, and the second housing 12 is disposed substantially equally to the left and right with respect to the first housing 11, that is, the first housing Since the body 11 and the second housing 12 are substantially T-shaped in a plane, it is easy to operate the operation unit 13 such as a keyboard unit while looking at the display unit 14, and the operability is good.

また、スライド付勢手段８及び回転付勢手段９として、第１扁平スプリング８１及び第２扁平スプリング９１をそれぞれ用いることで、扁平スプリング８１，９１の厚さは線材の直径と同じであるので、扁平スプリング８１、９１の厚さを薄くすることができることから、携帯機器１０の薄型化を図ることが可能となる。 Moreover, since the thickness of the flat springs 81 and 91 is the same as the diameter of a wire by using the 1st flat spring 81 and the 2nd flat spring 91 as the slide biasing means 8 and the rotation biasing means 9, respectively, Since the thickness of the flat springs 81 and 91 can be reduced, the portable device 10 can be reduced in thickness.

図９〜図１１は本発明に係る第２の開閉装置の一例を示す図である。第２の開閉装置は、図９〜図１１に示したように、規制手段１０４の他の例を示したものである。なお、前述の第１の開閉装置１と同一の部材には同一の名称を付し、その説明を省略することがある。 FIGS. 9-11 is a figure which shows an example of the 2nd switchgear concerning this invention. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the second opening / closing device shows another example of the regulating means 104. In addition, the same name is attached | subjected to the member same as the above-mentioned 1st switchgear 1, and the description may be abbreviate | omitted.

規制手段１０４は、回転機構３の動作を規制する第１規制部１１０と、スライド機構２の動作を規制する第２規制部１２０とからなる。第１規制部１１０は、例えば、ベース部材１０７に設けられた第１係合突部１１１と、スライダー部材６に設けられ、閉成状態から第２筐体１２を第１筐体１１に対してスライド機構２を介してスライドさせたとき、第１係合突部１１１と係合して回転機構３の動作を規制する第１係合部１１２とを備えてなる。 The restricting means 104 includes a first restricting portion 110 that restricts the operation of the rotating mechanism 3 and a second restricting portion 120 that restricts the operation of the slide mechanism 2. For example, the first restricting portion 110 is provided on the first engaging protrusion 111 provided on the base member 107 and the slider member 6, and the second casing 12 is moved from the closed state to the first casing 11. A first engagement portion 112 that engages with the first engagement protrusion 111 and restricts the operation of the rotation mechanism 3 when being slid through the slide mechanism 2 is provided.

第１係合突部１１１は、例えば、ベース部材１０７の前端部の一部（図面上左側の角部）を上方に略直角に折り曲げて形成されている。第１係合突部１１１は、閉成状態のときに、スライダー部材６と対向しない箇所であって、スライダー部材取付凹部１６外に位置される箇所に設けられている。また、第１係合突部１１１は、先端部がスライダー部材６の内面（係合部材５側の面）近傍に位置されると共にスライド係合部６１を形成する壁部（回転規制壁部１１３ということがある。）に近接するように形成されていることが好ましい。この回転規制壁部１１３が第１係合部１１２として形成されている。 The first engagement protrusion 111 is formed, for example, by bending a part of the front end portion of the base member 107 (the left corner in the drawing) upward substantially at a right angle. The first engaging protrusion 111 is provided at a position that does not face the slider member 6 when in the closed state and is located outside the slider member mounting recess 16. Further, the first engaging protrusion 111 has a tip portion positioned in the vicinity of the inner surface (surface on the engaging member 5 side) of the slider member 6 and a wall portion (rotation restricting wall portion 113) that forms the slide engaging portion 61. It is preferable that it is formed so as to be close to each other. The rotation restricting wall portion 113 is formed as the first engaging portion 112.

また、スライダー部材取付凹部１６を形成する第２筐体１２の壁部には、係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６をスライドさせたとき、第１係合突部１１１がスライダー部材取付凹部１６内に移動し得るスライド許容凹部１１５が設けられている。その第２筐体１２の壁部には、ベース部材１０７に対して係合部材５を回転させつつスライドさせたとき、第１係合突部１１１の移動を許容する回転許容凹部１１６が設けられている。これにより、閉成状態のときには回転機構３による動作を行えると共に、スライド機構２により閉成状態から第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２が縦方向にスライドしたときには、第１係合突部１１１が回転規制壁部１１３に当接して回転機構３による動作が規制されるようになっている。 Further, when the slider member 6 is slid with respect to the engaging member 5 on the wall portion of the second housing 12 that forms the slider member mounting recess 16, the first engaging protrusion 111 is formed on the slider member mounting recess 16. A slide allowing recess 115 that can move in is provided. The wall portion of the second housing 12 is provided with a rotation-permissible recess 116 that allows the movement of the first engagement protrusion 111 when the engagement member 5 is slid while rotating with respect to the base member 107. ing. Thus, the rotation mechanism 3 can be operated in the closed state, and the first engagement is performed when the second housing 12 is slid in the longitudinal direction with respect to the first housing 11 from the closed state by the slide mechanism 2. The protrusion 111 is brought into contact with the rotation restricting wall 113 so that the operation of the rotating mechanism 3 is restricted.

前記第２規制部１２０は、例えば、係合部材５に回動可能に設けられ、第２係合突部１２２を有するロックレバー部材１２３と、第２係合突部１２２と係合してスライド機構２の動作を規制する第２係合部１２５と、第２係合突部１２２が第２係合部１２５と係合するようにロックレバー部材１２３を付勢するレバー部材付勢手段１２４と、ベース部材１０７に設けられ、閉成状態のときにロックレバー部材１２３と係合して第２係合突部１２２と第２係合部１２５との係合を解除して回転機構３の動作を許容するスライド許容突部１２６とを備えている。 For example, the second restricting portion 120 is rotatably provided on the engaging member 5, and engages with the lock lever member 123 having the second engaging protrusion 122 and the second engaging protrusion 122 to slide. A second engagement portion 125 that restricts the operation of the mechanism 2, and a lever member urging means 124 that urges the lock lever member 123 so that the second engagement protrusion 122 engages with the second engagement portion 125. The rotation mechanism 3 is provided on the base member 107 and engages with the lock lever member 123 in the closed state to release the engagement between the second engagement protrusion 122 and the second engagement portion 125. And a slide allowable protrusion 126 that permits the above.

ロックレバー部材１２３は、係合部材５の裏面に支持ピン１２８を介して回動可能に支持される回動部１２３ａと、回動部１２３ａから延びるアーム部１２３ｂの先端部に設けられる第２係合突部１２２とを有してなる。このロックレバー部材１２３が回動可能に支持される係合部材５（図面上右側の側部近傍）には、規制係合長孔１２１が設けられている。規制係合長孔１２１は、スライダー部材６のスライド係合部６１と対向すると共に略中心に支持ピン取付孔５１ａが位置されるような円弧状に形成されている。この規制係合長孔１２１を貫通した状態で挿入されると共に、さらに先端部がスライダー部材６のスライド係合部６１に接触し得る長さに第２係合突部１２２が形成されている。これにより、ロックレバー部材１２３は、第２係合突部１２２が規制係合長孔１２１の第１端部から他方の端部までの間で移動できると共に、第２係合突部１２２が第２係合部１２５と係合し得るように係合部材５に回動可能に取り付けられている。 The lock lever member 123 is provided on the back surface of the engagement member 5 via a support pin 128 so as to be rotatable, and a second engagement provided at the tip of an arm portion 123b extending from the rotation portion 123a. And a mating protrusion 122. A restriction engagement long hole 121 is provided in the engagement member 5 (in the vicinity of the right side in the drawing) where the lock lever member 123 is rotatably supported. The restriction engagement long hole 121 is formed in an arc shape so as to face the slide engagement portion 61 of the slider member 6 and to have the support pin attachment hole 51a positioned substantially at the center. The second engagement protrusion 122 is formed in such a length that the distal end portion can be in contact with the slide engagement portion 61 of the slider member 6 while being inserted through the restriction engagement long hole 121. Thereby, the lock lever member 123 allows the second engagement protrusion 122 to move between the first end of the restriction engagement long hole 121 and the other end, and the second engagement protrusion 122 2 It is rotatably attached to the engaging member 5 so that it can engage with the engaging portion 125.

第２係合部１２５は、例えば、閉成状態のときに、規制係合長孔１２１の規制端部と対向するスライダー部材６のスライド係合部６１に貫通した孔状に形成されており、規制係合長孔１２１の一方の端部に位置される第２係合突部１２２と係合してスライド機構２の動作を規制するものである。その第２係合突部１２２を規制係合長孔１２１の第１端部に位置されるようにロックレバー部材１２３を付勢するレバー部材付勢手段１２４が設けられている。 For example, the second engagement portion 125 is formed in a hole shape penetrating the slide engagement portion 61 of the slider member 6 that faces the restriction end portion of the restriction engagement long hole 121 in the closed state. The operation of the slide mechanism 2 is restricted by engaging with the second engagement protrusion 122 located at one end of the restriction engagement long hole 121. Lever member biasing means 124 for biasing the lock lever member 123 is provided so that the second engagement protrusion 122 is positioned at the first end of the restriction engagement long hole 121.

レバー部材付勢手段１２４は、例えば、公知のスプリングの線材を略Ｕ字状に折り曲げてなるＵスプリング１２４ａ等であることが好ましい。Ｕスプリング１２４ａの一端部がロックレバー部材１２３に取り付けられていると共に他端部が係合部材５の裏面に取付ピン１２９を介して取り付けられている。なお、Ｕスプリング１２４ａの一端部は、ロックレバー部材１２３に当接させるようにしてもよい。また、係合部材５の裏面には、Ｕスプリング１２４ａの他端部側を支持するスプリング支持部４７を設けてもよい。Ｕスプリング１２４ａの付勢力により、第２係合突部１２２が第１端部に位置されるようにロックレバー部材１２３が付勢されるが、ロックレバー部材１２３は、閉成状態のときにスライド許容突部１２６と係合する。 The lever member urging means 124 is preferably, for example, a U spring 124a formed by bending a known spring wire into a substantially U shape. One end of the U spring 124 a is attached to the lock lever member 123, and the other end is attached to the back surface of the engagement member 5 via an attachment pin 129. Note that one end of the U spring 124 a may be brought into contact with the lock lever member 123. In addition, a spring support portion 47 that supports the other end portion side of the U spring 124 a may be provided on the back surface of the engagement member 5. The lock lever member 123 is urged by the urging force of the U spring 124a so that the second engagement protrusion 122 is positioned at the first end, but the lock lever member 123 slides in the closed state. Engage with the allowable protrusion 126.

スライド許容突部１２６は、ベース部材１０７の上面の下端部の略中央部に突出して設けられている。スライド許容突部１２６は、閉成状態のときにロックレバー部材１２３の回動部１２３ａと接触（係合）して第２係合突部１２２が第２係合部１２５と係合しない位置にロックレバー部材１２３を回転させてスライド機構２による動作を許容するものである。これにより、第２規制部１２０は、閉成状態のときにはスライド機構２による動作を行えると共に、回転機構３により閉成状態から第２筐体１２が第１筐体１１に対して水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向にスライドしたときには、第２係合突部１２２が第２係合部１２５と係合してスライド機構２による動作が規制されるようになっている。 The slide allowable protrusion 126 is provided so as to protrude from a substantially central portion of the lower end portion of the upper surface of the base member 107. The slide allowable protrusion 126 is in contact (engaged) with the rotating portion 123a of the lock lever member 123 when in the closed state, and the second engagement protrusion 122 does not engage with the second engagement portion 125. The operation by the slide mechanism 2 is permitted by rotating the lock lever member 123. As a result, the second restricting unit 120 can be operated by the slide mechanism 2 when in the closed state, and the second housing 12 rotates in the horizontal direction with respect to the first housing 11 from the closed state by the rotating mechanism 3. However, when sliding in the lateral direction, the second engagement protrusion 122 is engaged with the second engagement portion 125 so that the operation of the slide mechanism 2 is restricted.

このように構成しても、前述と同様の作用効果を奏する。すなわち、携帯機器１０が使用されていない状態では、通常、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに重なり合った閉成状態である（図１（ａ）参照。）。このとき、第１扁平スプリング８１はその付勢力に抗して撓んでいると共に、回転付勢手段９であるテンションスプリング９２はその付勢力に抗して伸びているので、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とは互いにほぼ完全に重なり合った閉成状態に保持されている。なお、この閉成状態をより確実に保持するために、ロック機構を設けるようにしてもよい。また、図示例では、回転付勢手段９としてテンションスプリング９２を用いたが、もちろん第２扁平スプリング９１を用いるようにしてもよい。 Even if comprised in this way, there exists an effect similar to the above-mentioned. That is, in a state where the mobile device 10 is not used, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are normally in a closed state where they overlap each other (see FIG. 1A). At this time, the first flat spring 81 is bent against the urging force, and the tension spring 92 which is the rotation urging means 9 extends against the urging force. The second housing 12 is held in a closed state that almost completely overlaps each other. In addition, in order to hold | maintain this closed state more reliably, you may make it provide a lock mechanism. In the illustrated example, the tension spring 92 is used as the rotation urging means 9, but the second flat spring 91 may be used as a matter of course.

また、閉成状態のとき、ロックレバー部材１２３がスライド許容突部１２６に係合して第２係合突部１２２が第２係合部１２５と係合しない位置に位置されているので、スライド機構２による動作を行える状態である。また、第１係合突部１１１はスライダー部材６の外部に位置されているので、回転機構３による動作を行える状態である。よって、閉成状態のとき、第１筐体１１及び第２筐体１２は、スライド機構２及び回転機構３のいずれか一方の機構による動作を行える状態である。 Further, in the closed state, the lock lever member 123 is engaged with the slide allowable protrusion 126 and the second engagement protrusion 122 is positioned at a position where it does not engage with the second engagement part 125. This is a state where the operation by the mechanism 2 can be performed. In addition, since the first engaging protrusion 111 is located outside the slider member 6, the first engaging protrusion 111 can be operated by the rotating mechanism 3. Therefore, in the closed state, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in a state where the operation by any one of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3 can be performed.

この携帯機器１０をディスプレイ部１４を縦長にして使う場合には、例えば、第１筐体１１を一方の手で持って固定した状態で、もう一方の手で第２筐体１２を縦方向（その長手方向）の開成方向に押してスライドさせる。もちろんこの操作を片方の手だけで行うこともできる。すると、スライド機構２により係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６が縦方向にスライドして、第１扁平スプリング８１のそれぞれの両端部間の長さがスライド幅に応じて徐々に短くなる、すなわち、第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を縦方向にスライドさせると、第１扁平スプリング８１が荷重を受けてさらに撓むことになる。 When the portable device 10 is used with the display unit 14 being vertically long, for example, the first housing 11 is held and fixed with one hand, and the second housing 12 is held vertically with the other hand ( Push in the opening direction (longitudinal direction) and slide. Of course, you can do this with just one hand. Then, the slider member 6 slides in the longitudinal direction with respect to the engaging member 5 by the slide mechanism 2, and the length between the both ends of the first flat spring 81 is gradually shortened according to the slide width. When the second casing 12 is slid in the vertical direction with respect to the first casing 11, the first flat spring 81 receives a load and further bends.

そして、第１扁平スプリング８１の両端部間の長さが最小になった状態が中立状態であり、この中立状態を過ぎると、第１扁平スプリング８１の両端部の位置が前後に入れ替わると共に、第１扁平スプリング８１の付勢力により係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６が開成方向に付勢される。これにより、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに開成方向に自動的にスライド移動して、第１筐体１１の上面にキーボード部等の操作部１３がフル操作可能に露出する第１全開成状態になり、その状態に保持される（図１（ｂ）参照。）。なお、この第１開成状態をより確実に保持するために、ロック機構を設けるようにしてもよい。よって、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２が互いに重なり合っている閉成状態から第１開成状態にスライド移動させるときには、その中間状態から半自動（セミオート）で開成動作を行えることになる。 And the state where the length between the both ends of the 1st flat spring 81 became the minimum is a neutral state, and after passing this neutral state, while the position of the both ends of the 1st flat spring 81 is changed back and forth, The slider member 6 is urged in the opening direction with respect to the engaging member 5 by the urging force of the 1 flat spring 81. As a result, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are automatically slid in the opening direction, and the operation unit 13 such as a keyboard unit is exposed on the upper surface of the first housing 11 so as to be fully operable. The first fully opened state is maintained (see FIG. 1B). In addition, in order to hold | maintain this 1st open state more reliably, you may make it provide a locking mechanism. Therefore, when the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are slid from the closed state where the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 overlap each other to the first opening state, the opening operation can be performed semi-automatically (semi-automatic) from the intermediate state.

また、閉成状態からスライド機構２により第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２をスライドさせると、第１係合突部１１１がスライダー部材６内の回転規制壁部１１３に沿って移動し、第１係合突部１１１が回転規制壁部１１３に当接して回転機構３による動作が制限される。よって、第１筐体１１及び第２筐体１２のスライド機構２によるスライド動作をスムーズに行える。 When the second housing 12 is slid with respect to the first housing 11 by the slide mechanism 2 from the closed state, the first engaging protrusion 111 moves along the rotation restricting wall 113 in the slider member 6. Then, the first engagement protrusion 111 abuts against the rotation restricting wall 113 and the operation of the rotation mechanism 3 is restricted. Therefore, the sliding operation by the sliding mechanism 2 of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be performed smoothly.

次に、第１筐体１１に対して完全に縦長に開いた第１開成状態の第２筐体１２を閉成状態に戻すには、例えば、第１筐体１１を一方の手で持って固定した状態で第２筐体１２をもう一方に手で押して縦方向の閉成方向にスライドさせる。もちろんこの操作は片方の手のみで行うことは可能である。すると、第１扁平スプリング８１は付勢力に抗してさらに撓んでいき、中立状態を過ぎると、第１扁平スプリング８１の先端部が互いに離間する方向に付勢されるので、第１筐体１１に対し第２筐体１２が閉成方向に自動的にスライド移動して閉成状態となる。よって、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２を第１開成状態から閉成状態にスライド移動させるときには、中立状態から半自動（セミオート）でスライド動作を行えることになる。尚、このセミオートによるスライド動作は、開成方向又は閉成方向の一方向のみであってもよい。また、第１開成状態から閉成状態になるとき、第１係合突部１１１が係合部材５の外側に位置されるので、スライド機構２及び回転機構３のいずれか一方の機構により動作を行える状態となる。 Next, in order to return the second housing 12 in the first open state, which is completely vertically open to the first housing 11, to the closed state, for example, hold the first housing 11 with one hand. In a fixed state, the second housing 12 is pushed to the other side by hand and is slid in the vertical closing direction. Of course, this operation can be performed with only one hand. Then, the first flat spring 81 is further bent against the urging force, and when the neutral state is passed, the front end portions of the first flat spring 81 are urged away from each other. On the other hand, the second housing 12 automatically slides in the closing direction to be in the closed state. Therefore, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are slid from the first open state to the closed state, the slide operation can be performed semi-automatically (semi-automatically) from the neutral state. Note that the semi-automatic sliding operation may be only in one direction of the opening direction or the closing direction. Further, when the first open state is changed to the closed state, the first engagement protrusion 111 is positioned outside the engagement member 5, so that the operation is performed by one of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3. It will be ready.

また、携帯機器１０をディスプレイ部１４を横長にして使う場合には、例えば、第１筐体１１を一方の手で持って固定した状態で、もう一方の手で第２筐体１２を例えば右回りの水平方向に回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせる。もちろんこの操作を片方の手だけで行うこともできる。すると、回転機構３によりベース部材１０７に対して係合部材５（スライダー部材６を含む）が水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向へスライドして、第１回転スライド案内部材５３が第１ガイド長孔７１の一端部から頂部に向かって移動すると共に、第２回転スライド案内部材５４が第２ガイド長孔７２の一端部から他端部に向かって移動して、テンションスプリング９２のそれぞれの両端部間の長さが開成動作に応じて徐々に長くなる、すなわち、第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせると、テンションスプリング９２が荷重を受けてさらにその付勢力に抗して伸びることになる。 Further, when the mobile device 10 is used with the display unit 14 being horizontally long, for example, the first housing 11 is held and fixed with one hand, and the second housing 12 is held with the other hand, for example, right Slide horizontally while rotating around the horizontal direction. Of course, you can do this with just one hand. Then, the engaging member 5 (including the slider member 6) slides in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction with respect to the base member 107 by the rotation mechanism 3, and the first rotary slide guide member 53 is in the first guide slot. 71, the second rotary slide guide member 54 moves from one end of the second guide slot 72 toward the other end, and moves between the two ends of the tension spring 92. When the second casing 12 is slid laterally while rotating in the horizontal direction with respect to the first casing 11, the tension spring 92 receives a load. In addition, it will grow against that force.

そして、第１回転スライド案内部材５３が第１ガイド長孔７１の略頂部に至ると（図１（ｃ）参照。）、テンションスプリング９２の両端部間の長さが最大になり、この状態が中立状態（図示例では中間状態）である。この中立状態を過ぎると、第１回転スライド案内部材５３が第１ガイド長孔７１の頂部を過ぎるので、テンションスプリング９２の付勢力により係合部材５に対してスライダー部材６が開成方向に付勢される。これにより、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに開成方向に自動的に水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向へスライドして、第１回転スライド案内部材５３が第１ガイド長孔７１の他端部に移動すると共に、第２回転スライド案内部材５４が第２ガイド長孔７２の他端部に移動して、第１筐体１１の上面に設けたキーボード部等の操作部１３がフル操作可能に露出すると共に第２筐体１２（ディスプレイ部１４）が横長になる第２全開成状態になり、その状態に保持される（図１（ｄ）参照。）。なお、この第２開成状態をより確実に保持するために、ロック機構を設けるようにしてもよい。よって、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とが互いに重なり合っている閉成状態から第２開成状態に水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせるときには、その中間状態から半自動（セミオート）で開成動作を行えることになる。 When the first rotary slide guide member 53 reaches the approximate top of the first guide long hole 71 (see FIG. 1C), the length between both ends of the tension spring 92 is maximized, and this state is Neutral state (intermediate state in the illustrated example). When the neutral state is passed, the first rotary slide guide member 53 passes the top of the first guide long hole 71, so that the slider member 6 is biased in the opening direction with respect to the engaging member 5 by the biasing force of the tension spring 92. Is done. As a result, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide in the lateral direction while automatically rotating in the horizontal direction in the opening direction, so that the first rotation slide guide member 53 is in the first guide slot 71. The second rotary slide guide member 54 moves to the other end of the second guide slot 72, and the operation unit 13 such as a keyboard provided on the upper surface of the first housing 11 is moved. The second casing 12 (display unit 14) is exposed to be fully operable and is in a second fully opened state in which the second casing 12 (display unit 14) is horizontally long, and is maintained in that state (see FIG. 1D). In addition, in order to hold | maintain this 2nd open state more reliably, you may make it provide a lock mechanism. Accordingly, when the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are slid in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction from the closed state in which the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are overlapped with each other, the intermediate state is semi-automatically (semi-automatic). The opening operation can be performed.

また、閉成状態から回転機構３により第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を水平方向に回転させつつ横方向にスライドさせると、スライド許容突部１２６からロックレバー部材１２３が離れてロックレバー部材１２３とスライド許容突部１２６との係合が解除される。この係合が解除されると、ロックレバー部材１２３は、Ｕスプリング１２４ａの付勢力により回転して第２係合突部１２２が規制係合長孔１２１内を移動して第１端部に至り、第２係合突部１２２が第２係合部１２５と係合し、スライド機構２によるスライド動作が制限される。よって、第１筐体１１及び第２筐体１２の回転機構３による動作をスムーズに行える。 Further, when the second housing 12 is slid in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction with respect to the first housing 11 by the rotation mechanism 3 from the closed state, the lock lever member 123 is separated from the slide allowable protrusion 126. The engagement between the lock lever member 123 and the slide allowable protrusion 126 is released. When this engagement is released, the lock lever member 123 is rotated by the urging force of the U spring 124a, and the second engagement protrusion 122 moves in the restriction engagement long hole 121 to reach the first end. The second engagement protrusion 122 engages with the second engagement portion 125, and the sliding operation by the slide mechanism 2 is restricted. Therefore, the operation | movement by the rotation mechanism 3 of the 1st housing | casing 11 and the 2nd housing | casing 12 can be performed smoothly.

次に、第１筐体１１に対して完全に横長の開いた第２開成状態の第２筐体１２を閉成状態に戻すには、例えば、第１筐体１１を一方の手で持って固定した状態で第２筐体１２をもう一方に手で押して閉成方向に水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせる。もちろんこの操作は片方の手のみで行うことは可能である。すると、テンションスプリング９２はその付勢力に抗してさらに伸びて、中立状態を過ぎると、テンションスプリング９２がその付勢力により縮むので、第１筐体１１に対し第２筐体１２が閉成方向に自動的に水平方向へ回転しつつ横方向へスライドして閉成状態となる（図１（ａ）参照。）。よって、第１筐体１１と第２筐体１２とを第２開成状態から閉成状態に回転させつつスライドさせるときには、中立状態から半自動（セミオート）で閉成動作を行えることになる。尚、このセミオートによる動作は、開成方向或は閉成方向の一方向のみであっても良い。 Next, in order to return the second housing 12 in the second open state, which is completely horizontally open to the first housing 11, to the closed state, for example, hold the first housing 11 with one hand. In a fixed state, the second housing 12 is pushed by hand to the other side and is slid in the lateral direction while rotating in the closing direction in the horizontal direction. Of course, this operation can be performed with only one hand. Then, the tension spring 92 further extends against the urging force, and when the neutral state is passed, the tension spring 92 contracts due to the urging force, so that the second housing 12 is closed with respect to the first housing 11. Then, it automatically slides in the horizontal direction while rotating in the horizontal direction to enter the closed state (see FIG. 1A). Therefore, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are slid while rotating from the second open state to the closed state, the closing operation can be performed semi-automatically (semi-automatically) from the neutral state. The semi-automatic operation may be only in one direction of the opening direction or the closing direction.

また、第２開成状態から閉成状態になるとき、はじめはロックレバー部材１２３とスライド許容突部１２６とは離れて係合していないが、閉成状態になる前にロックレバー部材１２３がスライド許容突部１２６に接触して閉成動作に応じてロックレバー部材１２３がＵスプリング１２４ａの付勢力により抗して回転して、第２係合突部１２２が規制係合長孔１２１内を規制端部から離間する方向に移動する。閉成状態になると、第２係合突部１２２が第２係合部１２５と係合しない位置に位置されるので、スライド機構２による動作を行える状態となる。 Further, when the second open state is changed to the closed state, the lock lever member 123 and the slide allowable protrusion 126 are not separated from each other at first, but the lock lever member 123 is slid before the closed state. The lock lever member 123 rotates against the urging force of the U spring 124a according to the closing operation by contacting the allowable protrusion 126, and the second engagement protrusion 122 restricts the inside of the restriction engagement long hole 121. Move in a direction away from the end. When in the closed state, the second engagement protrusion 122 is positioned at a position where it does not engage with the second engagement portion 125, so that the operation by the slide mechanism 2 can be performed.

したがって、本発明に係る第２の開閉装置１００は、閉成状態と第１開成状態との間の開閉動作、及び閉成状態と第２開成状態との間の開閉動作を１つの動作で行え、かつ、スライド機構２と回転機構３とのいずれか一方の機構の動作中においては他方の機構の動作が規制手段４によって規制されているので、部品点数を少なくした上で操作性を大幅に向上させることができる。また、第１筐体１１に対して第２筐体１２を縦長と横長の両方で使用できるために、第３筐体を必要とすることがないので、携帯機器１０の薄型化を図れる。 Therefore, the second opening / closing device 100 according to the present invention can perform an opening / closing operation between the closed state and the first opened state and an opening / closing operation between the closed state and the second opened state by one operation. In addition, during the operation of one of the slide mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 3, the operation of the other mechanism is restricted by the restricting means 4, so that the operability is greatly improved while reducing the number of parts. Can be improved. In addition, since the second casing 12 can be used in both the portrait and landscape orientations with respect to the first casing 11, the third casing is not required, so that the portable device 10 can be thinned.

本発明は以上のように構成したことで、上面に操作部を設けた第１筐体と上面にディスプレイ部を設けた第２筐体とを互いに重ね合わせた閉成状態から、第２筐体を第１筐体に対してスライド機構を介して縦方向にスライドさせたり、回転機構を介して水平方向へ回転させつつ横方向へスライドさせたりすることができ、かつ、これらの状態において、第１筐体の上面の操作部を操作できるので、部品点数を少なくした上で操作性を大幅に向上させることができることから、携帯機器の中でもくに携帯電話機、ＰＤＡ、ポケットパソコン等に最適なものである。 According to the present invention configured as described above, the first housing having the operation unit on the upper surface and the second housing having the display unit on the upper surface are overlapped with each other from the closed state. Can be slid in the vertical direction with respect to the first housing via the slide mechanism, or can be slid in the horizontal direction while being rotated in the horizontal direction via the rotation mechanism. Because the operation part on the top surface of one housing can be operated, the number of parts can be reduced and the operability can be greatly improved, making it ideal for mobile phones, PDAs, pocket PCs, etc., among other mobile devices. is there.
