摘要： A hinge device for a portable terminal rotatably couples a first housing to a second housing of a portable terminal. The hinge device includes a first hinge cam fixed to one of the housings of the portable terminal and a second hinge cam fixed to the other one of the housings of the portable terminal. The first hinge came has a cam groove on a surface, and the second hinge cam is rotatably received in the cam groove to generate friction with an inner wall of the cam groove. The hinge device has a reduced length and can occupy a smaller area in the portable terminal. Further, the hinge device allows the separate housing to be installed to the portable terminal while maintaining the shape of the portable terminal so that the separate housing slidably moves, thereby allowing increased design flexibility for the portable terminal. Furthermore, since the hinge device requires a small space in the portable terminal, the design specifications of the portable terminal may be easily changed.

摘要翻译： 用于便携式终端的铰链装置将第一壳体可旋转地连接到便携式终端的第二壳体。 铰链装置包括固定到便携式终端的一个壳体中的第一铰链凸轮和固定到便携式终端的另一个壳体的第二铰链凸轮。 第一铰链在表面上具有凸轮槽，并且第二铰链凸轮可旋转地容纳在凸轮槽中以与凸轮槽的内壁产生摩擦。 铰链装置具有减小的长度并且可以在便携式终端中占据较小的面积。 此外，铰链装置允许将分离的壳体安装到便携式终端，同时保持便携式终端的形状，使得分离的壳体可滑动地移动，从而允许便携式终端的增加的设计灵活性。 此外，由于铰链装置在便携式终端中需要较小的空间，便携式终端的设计规格可以容易地改变。
