Abstract

A wire communication terminal has a position adjusting member which allows an LCD module to slide to any angle within a predetermined rotational range. The terminal includes a first case having a through hole, a guide member fixed to a rear surface of the first case, a slide member having a circular arc shape provided at one side of the LCD module, and a cover member having a circular arc shape fixed to a rear surface of the first case. Arranged in this manner, the slide member can slide along a rear surface of the guide member to an optimal desired viewing angle.

Claims (42)

1. A wire communication terminal having an LCD module, comprising:

a first case having a mounting portion for mounting an LCD module at one side thereof, the mounting portion provided with a through hole;

a guide member fixed to a rear surface of the first case so as to be located at the through hole;

a slide member having a circular arc shape and provided at one side of the LCD module, so as to be inserted into the through hole and to be slid along a rear surface of the guide member;

a cover member having a circular arc shape and fixed to the rear surface of the first case so that the slide member can be slid along the rear surface of the guide member; and

a second case coupled to the first case.

2. The terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first guide protrusion formed at respective sides of a rear surface of the guide member along a rotation direction of the LCD module,

a slide protrusion corresponding to the first guide protrusion being formed at sides of a front surface of the slide member along the rotation direction of the LCD module,

a slide groove formed at both sides of a rear surface of the slide member, and

a second guide protrusion corresponding to the slide groove is formed at respective sides of a front surface of the cover member along the rotation direction of the LCD module.

3. The terminal of claim 2 , further comprising:

a slide slit limiting a rotation range of the LCD module, the slide slit formed in a middle of the slide member along the rotation direction of the LCD module; and

a stopper formed in the middle of the front surface of the cover member so as to be inserted into the slide slit.

4. The terminal of claim 3 , further comprising:

an insertion groove, formed in the middle of the guide member, into which an end of the stopper is inserted.

5. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first case includes a plurality of bosses having bolt holes at rear surface thereof, and a plurality of insertion portions having bolt holes formed at a flange portion of the cover member so as to correspond to the bosses.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the bosses are fitted into the insertion portions, and a bolt is coupled to the bolt hole.

7. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the guide member and the cover member are formed of a lubricating material.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the guide member and the cover member are formed of polyoxymethylene.

9. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the guide member and the cover member include a space portion therebetween, and the slide member is slidably fitted into the space portion.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the guide member, cover member, and slide member have a same curvature to thereby allow the slide member to smoothly slide in the space portion.

11. A wire communication terminal having an LCD module, comprising:

a guide member located at a through hole of a first case;

a cover member fixed to a rear surface of the first case so as to form a space portion between the guide member and the cover member; and

a slide member formed at one side of the LCD module so as to be inserted into the space portion, wherein the cover member and the slide member have a same shape and wherein the slide member slides along a rear surface of the guide member, wherein:

a first guide protrusion is formed at respective sides of a rear surface of the guide member along a rotation direction of the LCD module;

a slide protrusion corresponding to the first guide protrusion is formed at respective sides of a front surface of the slide member along the rotation direction of the LCD module;

a slide groove is formed at respective sides of a rear surface of the slide member; and

a second guide protrusion corresponding to the slide groove is formed at respective sides of a front surface of the cover member along the rotation direction of the LCD module.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein said same shape is a circular arc shape.

13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein:

a slide slit for limiting a rotation range of the LCD module is formed in the middle of the slide member along the rotation direction of the LCD module, and

a stopper is formed in the middle of the front surface of the cover member so as to be inserted into the slide slit.

14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the guide member has an insertion groove into which an end of the stopper is inserted.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the first case includes a plurality of bosses having bolt holes at rear surfaces thereof, and a plurality of insertion portions having bolt holes are formed at a flange portion of the cover member so as to correspond to the bosses.

16. The terminal of claim 15 , wherein the bosses are fitted into the insertion portions, and a bolt is coupled to the bolt hole.

17. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the guide member and the cover member are formed of a lubricating material.

18. The terminal of claim 17 , wherein the guide member and the cover member are formed of polyoxymethylene.

19. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the slide member is slidably fitted into the space portion.

20. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the guide member, cover member, and slide member have a same curvature so that the slide member smoothly slides in the space portion.

21. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein a flange portion of the guide member is coupled to the first case with a printed circuit board.
