Abstract
A sliding-type portable communication device is provided. The sliding-type portable communication device includes a first housing, a second housing slidably engaged with the first housing, face to face, and first and second sliding cover portions at both sides of the first housing, for sliding from both sides of the first housing, while sliding the second housing, thereby widening or narrowing the first housing.

A sliding-type portable communication device comprising:
- a first housing having a top surface;
- a second housing slidably engaged with the first housing, the second housing sliding on the top surface along a first direction from a closed state to an opened state;
- first and second sliding cover portions slidably coupled at both opposite sides of the first housing, the first and second sliding cover portions sliding away from each other along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction from the closed state to the opened state concurrently with the sliding of the second housing;
- and
- at least one link portion coupling a rotation engagement portion of the second housing to a rotation sliding hole of the first and second sliding cover portions, for rotating the at least one link portion at a predetermined angle, while sliding the second housing from the closed state to the opened state thereby concurrently sliding the first and second sliding cover portions away from the first housing.
