MOBILE TERMINAL
According to one embodiment, a mobile terminal has a first housing, a second housing disposed on the first housing, a rail plate, a sliding plate, and a resilient member. The rail plate has a pair of rails and a base connecting the rails and formed an opening. The rail plate is fixed to a surface of the second housing facing the first housing. The sliding plate is fixed to a surface of the first housing facing the second housing and slides on the rails. The resilient member is disposed between the second housing and the sliding plate. The resilient member is connected to the sliding plate at one end and to the second housing through the opening at the other end.
1 . A mobile terminal comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing disposed on the first housing;
a rail plate that has a pair of rails and a base connecting the rails and is formed with an opening, the rail plate being fixed to a surface of the second housing facing the first housing;
a sliding plate that is fixed to a surface of the first housing facing the second housing and slides on the rails; and
a resilient member that is disposed between the second housing and the sliding plate, the resilient member forcing the sliding plate in a first direction opposite to a second direction until the sliding plate reaches a predetermined position and forcing the sliding plate in the second direction once the sliding plate passes the predetermined position when the sliding plate slides in the second direction,
wherein the resilient member is connected to the sliding plate at one end and to the second housing through the opening at the other end.
2 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a range of movement of the resilient member includes an interior of the opening.
3 . A mobile terminal comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing disposed on the first housing;
a rail plate that has a pair of rails and a base connecting the rails and is formed with an opening, the rail plate being fixed to a surface of the second housing facing the first housing;
a sliding plate that is fixed to a surface of the first housing facing the second housing and slides on the rails; and
a resilient member that is disposed between the second housing and the sliding plate, the resilient member forcing the sliding plate in a first direction opposite to a second direction until the sliding plate reaches a predetermined position and forcing the sliding plate in the second direction once the sliding plate passes the predetermined position when the sliding plate slides in the second direction,
wherein the resilient member is connected to the sliding plate at one end and to the rail plate at the other end.
4 . The mobile terminal according to claim 3 , wherein a range of movement of the resilient member includes a space above the opening.
5 . The mobile terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the rail plate further includes a connection member that extends from the base into a region of the opening and is connected to the other end of the resilient member.
6 . The mobile terminal according to claim 3 further comprising:
an attachment pin that connects the rail plate and the other end of the resilient member to each other and protrudes from the rail plate toward the second housing at one end; and
a base plate forms a surface of the second housing facing the first housing, which is a surface to which the rail plate is fixed, the base plate having a hole for housing the end of the attachment pin.
