Rotary folder-type mobile communication terminal
View Patent ↗A rotary folder-type mobile communication terminal is provided, including a body part, a folder part, a folding hinge part mounted on a prescribed axis for opening/closing the folder part, and a rotating hinge part mounted on another prescribed axis different from the axis of the folding hinge part while being spaced apart from the holding hinge part for rotating the folder part.
1. A mobile communication terminal which comprises:
a body part is provided at the upper surface thereof with a space part;
a folder part having an LCD window facing the body part;
a folding hinge part mounted on a prescribed axis for opening/closing the folder part;
a rotating hinge part mounted on another prescribed axis different from the axis of the folding hinge part while being spaced apart from the folding hinge part for rotating the folder part;
an auxiliary connection part disposed between the body part and the folder part for connecting the folding hinge part and the rotating hinge part to each other, wherein the auxiliary connection part is provided with a cutout groove and the space part being defined inside the cutout groove; and
a protrusion part disposed on the space part.
2. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the upper end of the auxiliary connection part is connected to the protrusion part by means of the folding hinge part.
3. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 1 or 2 , wherein
the hinge of the rotating hinge part is mounted in the folder part, and
the fixing element of the rotating hinge part is mounted in the auxiliary connection part.
4. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 3 , further comprising:
a fixing element-locating member disposed at the auxiliary connection part for securely locating the fixing element of the rotating hinge part; and
a hinge-locating member disposed at the folder part for securely locating the hinge of the rotating hinge part.
5. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 4 , wherein
the fixing element-locating member has an insertion groove for allowing the fixing element of the rotating hinge part to be fixedly inserted therethrough, and
the hinge-locating member has an insertion tube for allowing the hinge of the rotating hinge part to be fixedly inserted therethrough.
6. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 5 , wherein
the fixing element-locating member is provided at both sides thereof with engagement grooves, the engagement grooves being arranged symmetrically to each other, and
the hinge-locating member is provided at one side thereof with an engagement projection, the engagement projection being engaged into one of the engagement grooves to prevent further rotation of the folder part after the folder part is rotated by prescribed degrees.
7. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the fixing element-locating member has projection parts formed at the rear of the engagement grooves such that the projection parts surround the engagement grooves, respectively.
8. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 4 , wherein
the fixing element-locating member is provided at both ends thereof with fixing parts, respectively, and the hinge-locating member is provided at both ends thereof with fixing parts, respectively.
