Abstract
A handheld electronic data processing device includes a first body, a second body and a hinge seat. The first body has a first keypad and a second keypad located in different directions. The second body has a display screen. The first body and the hinge seat are coupled through a first hinge such that the hinge seat is rotatable relative to the first body about a first rotational axis. The second body and the hinge seat are coupled through a second hinge such that the second body is rotatable about two rotational axes relative to the hinge seat. Thereby the second body may be swiveled relative to the first body about three rotational axes to provide varying operation modes corresponding to different functions.
Claims10
A handheld electronic data processing device, comprising:
- a first body which has a first hinge on one side thereof;
- a hinge seat which has a second hinge on one side, and which is coupled with the first body through the first hinge to be rotatable about a rotational axis relative to the first body thereof;
- and
- a second body which has a display screen on one surface and which is coupled with the hinge seat through the second hinge to allow the second body to be swiveled relative to the hinge seat about two rotational axes;
- whereby the hinge seat is rotatable relative to the first body about a rotational axis, and the second body being swiveled indirectly relative to the first body about three rotational axes to selectively move the display screen facing or opposing the first body and folding over the first body, or move different lateral sides of the second body coupling with the first body to form an inclined angle with the first body.
