Abstract
A slide mechanism used in a mobile device includes a main plate, a slide plate, at least one undeformable slider, and at least one guide. The slide plate is installed on the main plate and slidable relative to the main plate. The slider is securely attached to the slide plate, and the guide is securely attached to the main plate, deformably moving the slider along. When the slide plate slides along the main plate, the slider compresses the guide, thereby generating deformation of the guide and sliding the slide plate along the main plate.

A slide mechanism, comprising:
- a main plate;
- a slide plate installed on the main plate and slidable relative to the main plate;
- an undeformable first slider securely attached to the slide plate;
- and
- a first guide securely attached to the main plate, deformable by force applied thereto by the first slider;
- wherein when the slide plate slides along the main plate, the first slider compresses and deforms the first guide, thereby sliding the slide plate along the main plate.
A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a first housing;
- a second housing slidably installed on the first housing;
- a slide mechanism, comprising:
- a main plate;
- a slide plate installed on the main plate and slidable relative to the main plate;
- an undeformable first slider securely attached to the slide plate;
- and
- a first guide securely attached to the main plate, deformable by force applied thereto by the first slider;
- wherein when the second housing slides relative to the first housing, the slide plate slides along the main plate, the first slider compresses the first guide, generating deformation thereof and sliding the second housing relative to the first housing.
