Abstract:
1. A slide and tilt mechanism comprising: a base plate; a slide plate which is slidable between a closed position and an open position relative to the base plate; a guide plate which supports the slide plate to make the slide plate movable; a tilt mechanism which tilts the slide plate relative to the base plate by inclining the guide plate relative to the base plate, the tilt mechanism comprising a link member having a first end portion rotatably supported by the base plate and a second end portion rotatably supported by the guide plate, wherein the guide plate is inclined relative to the base plate when the link member is rotated around a position where the link member is supported by the base plate, and the slide plate is inclined relative to the base plate by the link member; an elastic member which actuates the slide plate relative to the base plate in a slide direction and actuates the slide plate relative to the base plate in a tilt direction, the elastic member having a first end portion fixed to the slide plate and a second end portion fixed to the base plate via a guide pin; and a tilt restricting member which is disposed on the slide plate, the tilt restricting member engaging the tilt mechanism to restrict the inclination of the guide plate relative to the base plate by the tilt mechanism when the slide plate is slid from the closed position to the open position, and when the slide plate is slid to reach the open position, the tilt restricting member disengaging the tilt mechanism to permit said rotation of the link member, thereby permitting the inclination of the slide plate relative to the base plate in the tilt direction by the tilt mechanism.
