Abstract
To provide a portable equipment allowing, not only for a normal opening-closing operation in a vertical direction, and also for a slide operation from a fully opened position, the above-indicated portable equipment includes opening-closing mechanisms incorporating both a function for a normal opening-closing and that for a slide operation; via these opening-closing mechanisms, the above-indicated portable equipment enables a closed, half-opened, and fully-opened positions of the above-indicated case bodies, and further a slide position, in which both the case bodies are superimposed on each other.
Claims7
A portable equipment for allowing, via opening-closing mechanisms, for a closed condition, in which a top surface of either one of a first case body and a second case body is covered by either other one, and for an opened condition, in which either one of said first case body and said second case body is exposed:
- wherein at least one of said opening-closing mechanisms is composed of an engagement convex portion attached to either one of said first case body and said second case body, a rotation concave portion which, located on either other one of said first case body and said second case body, rotatably supports said first case body and said second case body;
- a slide concave portion which is joined with said rotation concave portion, and supports said first case body and said second case body to be each slid by an engagement with said engagement convex portion, a rotation cam mechanism which restricts a rotation of said first case body and said second case body, and a slide control mechanism which allows said first case body and said second case body to be slid, while both case bodies are fully opened;
- wherein said portable equipment allows, via said opening-closing mechanism, said second case body to be opened and closed with regard to said first case body, with a supporting point at one end portion thereof, thus enabling said second case body to be fixed at closed, half opened and fully opened positions;
- and
- wherein said first case body and said second case body are each slid from said fully opened position to be superimposed on each other at a slide position.
