Patent ID: 8634885

Claim:
A mobile terminal comprising: first and second bodies slidably connected in a closed configuration and an open configuration; a flexible circuit board electrically connecting the first and second bodies and passing through a gap formed between the first and second bodies; one or more blocking units disposed in a spatial area formed from an opening face of the gap to the flexible circuit board and formed to be protruded from the first body to traverse the gap toward the second body, and a slide module formed to allow the first and second bodies to move relative to each other, wherein the blocking units are disposed in the spatial area to cover at least a portion of the flexible circuit board, wherein the slide module includes a first slide unit mounted on the first body, and a second slide unit slidably connected to the first slide unit and protruded from one surface of the second body facing the first body, wherein the first slide unit includes a base plate mounted on the first body, first and second guide edges formed at both corners of the base plate, and first and second guide recesses formed between both corners of the base plate and extending in the sliding direction, wherein the second slide unit includes a first slide rail unit slidably coupled to the first guide recess and the first guide edge, and a second slide rail unit slidably coupled to the second guide recess and the second guide edge, and wherein the first slide unit includes a rigidity reinforcing unit having at least a portion extending along the sliding direction to reinforce strength, having both ends protruded from the base plate, respectively, and having a portion, between the both ends, covering at least one of the first and second guide recesses.
