Abstract
A mobile communication device is provided that includes a first body, a second body hingedly-coupled to the first body and speaker unit installed in the second body such that sound generated when the first body is folded closed with respect to the second body can be directly transferred outside the mobile communication device. Using the present invention, a user can listen to high-quality reproduced sound without distortion even when the first body is folded closed with respect to the second body and reliability and competitiveness of a product can be improved.
Claims19
A mobile communication device comprising:
- a first body comprising an inner surface and an outer surface;
- a second body coupled to the first body, the second body comprising an inner surface and an outer surface and adapted to move relative to the first body such that the mobile communication device has an open configuration and a closed configuration, the inner surface of the first body adjacent the inner surface of the second body in the closed configuration;
- and
- a speaker unit installed in the second body such that sound generated when the mobile communication device is in the closed configuration is transferred directly outside the mobile communication device, wherein the speaker unit is installed at the outer surface of the second body and adapted to rotate in a perpendicular motion relative to the outer surface of the second body such that the speaker unit has a protruded configuration and a retracted configuration with respect to the outer surface of the second body, and wherein the speaker unit is inside the second body and not visible when the speaker unit is in the retracted configuration.
A mobile communication device comprising:
- a first body comprising a keypad;
- a second body coupled to the first body, the second body comprising a display and adapted to move relative to the first body such that the mobile communication device has an open configuration and a closed configuration;
- and
- a speaker unit installed in the second body and adapted to rotate in a perpendicular motion relative to an outer surface of the second body in a protruded configuration or a retracted configuration, such that sound generated when the mobile communication device is in the closed configuration is transferred directly outside the mobile communication device, wherein the speaker unit is inside the second body and not visible when the speaker unit is in the retracted configuration.
