<p>A sliding-type portable terminal (100) is provided. The sliding-type portable terminal includes a first housing (101), a second housing (102) sliding in a longitudinal direction of the first housing while facing the first housing, and an elastic member (204) including a helical coil (241) and free ends (243,245). The free ends extend from the coil in a direction away from each other and the elastic member provides an elastic force in a direction to move the free ends away from each other, in which the coil is interposed between the first housing and the second housing. An end of one of the free ends (243) is rotatably supported on a first face of the first housing, and another of the free ends (245) is extended toward the inside of the second housing and rotatably supported on an inner surface of the second housing. The sliding-type portable terminal has an advantage in that each of the free ends is located in one of the housings, by which the thickness of the terminal can be easily reduced and a space for a flexible printed circuit is easily ensured. Also, since sliding guides (213) may be mounted to the first housing slidingly support the rear cover (102b) of the second housing, the terminal allows simple assembly, a reduced number of parts, and a slimmed profile thereof.</p> |
