Problems solved by technology

The problem with this type of terminal is that the data entry means, especially the keypad, are exposed at all times and vulnerable to mishandling
[0009] However, conventional portable terminals are not suitable for gaming due to their shape limitations
Also, since they were developed early for voice-frequency communication, they cannot properly provide multimedia services

Abstract

A hinge apparatus for coupling a pair of housings of a portable terminal to each other so that the housings can rotate and unfold from each other. The apparatus includes first sun gears coupled to the housings, respectively; second sun gears positioned between the first sun gears so as to interlock the first sun gears; and a stopper unit connected to at least one of the first and second sun gears and adapted to suppress rotation of the first and second sun gears, when the housings are folded on each other while facing each other, so that rotation of the housings is limited.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a device suitable for coupling a pair of casings to each other so that they are rotatable about different hinge axes and their rotation is restricted by a stopper unit when they are superimposed on each other. Hinge device. Background technique [0002] In general, portable terminals can be classified into bar-type terminals, flip-type terminals, and folder-type terminals according to their appearance. [0003] A stand type terminal has a data input / output member and a transmitter / receiver unit mounted on a single housing. A problem with terminals of this type is that the data input means, in particular the keyboard, are exposed at all times and are vulnerable to erroneous manipulation. In addition, the fact that the distance between the transmitter and receiver units must be secured limits the compactness of the terminal. [0004] A flip type terminal has a main body, a...
