Abstract
A portable terminal having a first body, a second body moveable with respect to the first body, and a swivel assembly that connects the second body to the first body is provided. The swivel assembly is configured to allow the second body to rotate in a substantially planar motion with respect to the first body between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The swivel assembly includes a spacing unit displacing the second body from the first body while the second body is rotated with respect to the first body.
Claims25
A portable terminal, comprising:
- a first body;
- a second body moveable with respect to the first body;
- and
- a swivel assembly connecting the second body to the first body, the swivel assembly being configured to allow the second body to rotate in a substantially planar motion with respect to the first body between a closed configuration and an open configuration, the swivel assembly including:
- a spacing unit displacing the second body from the first body while the second body is rotated with respect to the first body.
A portable terminal, comprising:
- a first body;
- a second body foldably connected to the first body, the second body including:
- a connecting body rotatably connected to the first body by a hinge unit;
- and
- a display body having a display unit that displays information;
- and
- a swivel assembly connecting the display body to the connecting body, the swivel assembly being configured to allow the display body to rotate in a substantially planar motion with respect to the connection body between a vertical configuration and a horizontal configuration, the swivel assembly including:
- a spacing unit displacing the display body from the connecting body while the display body is rotated with respect to the connecting body.
A swivel assembly for a portable terminal having a first body and a second body, the swivel assembly allowing the first body to rotate in a substantially planar motion with respect to the second body between a closed configuration and an open configuration, the swivel assembly comprising:
- a base connectable to the first body;
- a shaft passing through the base;
- a rotation member connectable to the second body, the rotation member being coupled to the base so as to be rotatable around the shaft and movable in a first axial direction of the shaft;
- and
- a spacing unit displacing the second body from the first body while the second body is rotated with respect to the first body.
