JOINING STRUCTURE OF MULTI-SEGMENT HOUSING AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROVIDED WITH THAT JOINING STRUCTURE

摘要

A joining structure of superposed first to fourth segment housing of an electronic device each having a display screen equipped with two shafts arranged between first and second housing segments and third and fourth housing segments, a first hinge which joins end faces of the second and third housing segments to be able to rotate and a second hinge which joins opposite side end faces of the first and fourth housing segments, two shafts make the second and third housing segments slide with respect to the first and fourth housing segments, then make one rotate 180 degrees with respect to the other in the finished slid state, by using the first and second hinges to make the second and third housing segments and the first and fourth housing segments rotate about the shafts, and superposed first to fourth segment housing are opened to form a single flat display surface.

主权项

1. A joining structure of a multi-segment housing characterized by being provided with
shafts which are arranged between first and second housing segments and third and fourth housing segments when aligning first to fourth four housing segments in that order and each of which makes aligned housing segments slide, then makes one rotate 180 degrees with respect to the other, a first hinge which joins single end faces of said second and third housing segments which are exposed in directions parallel with said shaft, and a second hinge which joins end faces of said first and fourth housing segments which are exposed in directions parallel with said shaft at opposite sides to the end faces of said first hinge sides, said shafts being used to make said second and third housing segments slide with respect to said first and fourth housing segments and, in the finished slid state, said first and second hinges being used to make said second and third housing segments and said first and fourth housing segments rotate about said shafts and open to form a single flat surface.
