Abstract
An opening and closing device and electronic equipment using the device. The stator and the rotor of the device, which are accommodated in the rotary case, have a hollow cylinder shape. Employing such a shape allows the device to have a hollow section that runs through in the axial direction. In electronic equipment using the device, the wiring section including a lead wire and a wiring board for electrically connecting between the fix housing and the movable housing can be laid through the hollow section. That is, the structure of the device can eliminate a space for retaining the wiring section, encouraging downsizing of the equipment.
Claims5
An opening and closing device comprising:
- a stator having a stator cam at a side;
- a rotor having a rotor cam at a side confronting the stator cam;
- a rotary case for accommodating the stator so as to be rotatable, and accommodating the rotor so as to be movable in an axial direction of the case;
- and
- a cover for covering an end of the rotary case,
- wherein, the opening and closing device has an axially run-through hollow section therein.
Electronic equipment comprising:
- a) an opening and closing device including:
- a-1) a stator having a stator cam at a side;
- a-2) a rotor having a rotor cam at a side confronting the stator cam;
- a-3) a rotary case for accommodating the stator so as to be rotatable, and accommodating the rotor so as to be movable in an axial direction of the case;
- and
- a-4) a cover for covering an end of the rotary case,
- wherein, each of the stator, the rotor, the rotary case, and the cover has an axially run-through hollow section therein;
- and
- b) a fix housing and a movable housing that can be opened and closed via the opening and closing device;
- and
- c) a wiring section for electrically connecting between the movable housing and the fix housing,
- wherein, the wiring section is laid through the run-through hollow section.
