20100239242 | SAFEGUARD APPARATUS FOR COVERING CAMERA LENS - A handheld electronic device includes a housing, and a camera lens. The housing has a hole, and a camera lens is accommodated within the housing and exposed through the hole. The device includes a slidable panel and a retractable panel. The slidable panel is slidable relative to the housing between a covering position and a uncovering position. The camera lens is covered by the slidable panel when the slidable panel is at the covering position. The camera lens is uncovered when the slidable panel is at uncovering position. The retractable panel is movable relative to the housing between a retracted position and an unretracted position. The device further includes a mechanism configured to move the retractable panel from the unretracted position to the retracted position as the slidable panel slides from the covering position to the uncovering position. | 09-23-2010 |
20100180712 | DUAL SLIDER ASSEMBLY - A dual slider assembly for a mobile phone is provided which can perform semiautomatic bidirectional sliding operation using a single spring mechanism. The dual slider assembly includes a fixed plate. A first sliding plate is coupled to the fixed plate for sliding movement in a first sliding direction and is formed with a guide slot parallel to a second sliding direction. A second sliding plate is coupled to the first sliding plate for sliding movement in the second sliding direction. The dual slider assembly further includes an elastic means for applying an elastic force to maintain the first sliding plate and the second sliding plate in a stationary state, the elastic means having a first end pivotably secured to the fixed plate and a second end pivotably secured to the second sliding plate and restrained to slide along the guide slot of the first sliding plate. | 07-22-2010 |
20090298563 | SLIDING MECHANISM WITH UNDULATING SPRING FOR USE IN HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Disclosed is a handheld electronic device including a sliding mechanism configured to interconnect a first body and a second body such that the first and second bodies are slidable with reference to the other. The sliding mechanism includes a first sliding member configured to be secured to the first body and a second sliding member configured to be secured to the second body, the second sliding member slidably engaged with the first sliding member and slidable relative to the first sliding member between a first position and a second position. The device further has a spring comprising an undulating portion interposed between a first point and a second point of the spring's wire. The first point is secured to the first sliding member, and the second point is secured to the second sliding member. The undulating portion is configured to be compressed and released as the first sliding member slides between the first and second positions. | 12-03-2009 |
20090019668 | SMALL SIZED HINGE DEVICE FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC HANDHELD DEVICE - Disclosed is an electronic handheld device. The device has a first panel, a second panel rotatable relative to the first panel about an axis and a hinge. The hinge has first and second hinge members. The first member is engaged with the first panel. The second member is engaged with the second panel and rotatable relative to the first member about the axis. The first panel has a hole generally extending along the axis. The first hinge member is configured to linearly move within the hole. The first hinge member has an outer wall that has a curved surface and a key. The curved surface is a circular arc having a radius from the axis when viewed along the axis. The key is located outside an imaginary circle, a portion of the circumference line of which overlaps the circular arc. | 01-22-2009 |
20080207284 | SLIDING MECHANISM WITH UNDULATING SPRING FOR USE IN HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Disclosed is a handheld electronic device including a sliding mechanism configured to interconnect a first body and a second body such that the first and second bodies are slidable with reference to the other. The sliding mechanism includes a first sliding member configured to be secured to the first body and a second sliding member configured to be secured to the second body, the second sliding member slidably engaged with the first sliding member and slidable relative to the first sliding member between a first position and a second position. The device further has a spring comprising an undulating portion interposed between a first point and a second point of the spring's wire. The first point is secured to the first sliding member, and the second point is secured to the second sliding member. The undulating portion is configured to be compressed and released as the first sliding member slides between the first and second positions. | 08-28-2008 |
