The second body is secured on the connecting portion and rotatable relative to the connecting portion about a second axis. The second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis.
Claims8
A mobile telephone comprising:
- a first body;
- a connecting portion secured on the first body and rotatable relative to the first body about a first axis;
- the connecting portion comprising a first securing block and a second securing block, a post is located on the first securing block, and a plurality of slanted surfaces is defined on an outer surface of the post;
- an opening is defined in the second securing block, and a plurality of slanted surfaces is defined on an inner surface of the opening, and a second body secured on the connecting portion and rotatable relative to the connecting portion about a second axis, wherein the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and each of the plurality of the slanted surfaces of the post abuts each of the plurality of the slanted surfaces of the opening when the second body is rotated relative to the connecting portion, so as to prevent the second body from rotating relative to the connecting portion around the second axis, wherein the connecting portion comprises a first securing block secured to the connecting portion, and a post extending from the first securing block;
- the second body comprises a second securing block secured on the second body;
- an opening is defined in the second securing block for rotatably receiving the post of the first securing block therein.

A mobile telephone comprising:
- a first body;
- a connecting portion rotatably secured on the first body, the connecting portion comprising a first securing block secured thereon, a post extending from the first securing block;
- a plurality of ring shaped flanges being formed on an outer surface of the post;
- and
- a second body comprising a securing block secured thereon, the second securing block defining an opening therein, a plurality of ring shaped flanges being formed on an inner surface of the opening;
- wherein the post of the first securing block is rotatably received into the opening of the second securing block, and the ring shaped flanges of the first securing block are engaged with the ring shaped flanges of the second securing block when the post is received in the opening, wherein the connecting portion is rotatable relative to the first body about a first axis, and the second body is rotatable relative to the connecting portion about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis, wherein a ring shaped protrusion protrudes from the first securing block surrounding the post, a ring shaped depression is defined in the second securing block surrounding the opening;
- the ring shaped protrusion engages with the ring shaped depression when the post of the first securing block is received into the opening of the second securing block, so as to prevent the second body from moving rotating relative to the connecting portion along around the second axis.
