Patent ID: 8818469

Claim:
A portable electronic device, comprising: a base housing; a sliding housing superposed on said base housing; a slide mechanism including a pair of guide units disposed on said base housing, and a pair of slide rails disposed on said sliding housing, said pair of said guide units and said pair of said slide rails cooperating with each other to permit sliding movement of said sliding housing relative to said base housing along a sliding direction between a closed position and an open position; and a pair of correction mechanisms disposed on said base housing and respectively adjacent to said slide rails, each of said correction mechanisms including at least two spaced-apart push-back members arranged along said sliding direction and adjacent to a respective said slide rail; wherein when said slide rails deviate from said sliding direction and collide with said push-back members, said push-back members can push back said slide rails to a position parallel to said sliding direction so that said slide rails can slide smoothly relative to said guide units; and wherein each of said push-back members is resiliently displaceable in a direction perpendicular to said sliding direction when collided by said slide rails, and is biased to restore to its original position; wherein each of said guide units includes a fixed portion fixed to said base housing, and a guide portion connected pivotally to said fixed portion and cooperating with a corresponding one of said slide rails.
