SPRING MODULE AND PORTABLE TERMINAL DEVICE PROVIDED WITH THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spring module helping reduce the thickness of a slide-type portable terminal device by having a structure easily reducing its own thickness.

SOLUTION: The spring module includes an elastic member having a pair of wire components extending in parallel with each other along an axial direction and fastening members each provided to both ends of the elastic member. The elastic member includes a joint as well for mutually joining the wire components on its one end. When the fastening members are positioned in a direction in which they tilt from the axial direction, the elastic member provides an elastic force functioning in the direction in which the fastening members tilt from the axial direction to deform them in a direction that they approach or recede from each other.
