Patent ID: 8243430

Claim:
A cradling device of a portable electronic apparatus, which comprises a first housing, and a second housing arranged for being slid from the first housing and cradled with a slant on the first housing, the cradling device comprising: a first member provided in the first housing; a second member provided in the second housing to face the first member and be slidably disposed along the first member; and at least one cradling module provided in the first housing and rotatably attached to the first member for rotating the first member together with the second member on a rotation axis and cradling the second housing after sliding movement of the second member, wherein said at least one cradling module includes: a hinge unit forming a rotation axis A for rotating the first member; an angle adjusting unit, which is rotatably coupled with the hinge unit and is formed at the first member, so as to adjust a cradling angle of the second housing; an elastic supporter, which is mounted in the first housing, for securely seating the angle adjusting unit therein, and providing an elastic force toward the angle adjusting unit by engaging with and being elastically deformed by the angle adjusting unit, and a fixing unit coupled to the elastic supporter for mounting the elastic supporter in the first housing, the fixing unit including: a changeably coupling portion provided at a portion of the elastic supporter that is subject to elastic deformation by the angle adjusting unit, for changeably coupling with the first housing so that the changeably coupling portion's position mounted in the first housing is adjusted according to elastic deformation of the elastic supporter.
