Patent ID: 8289687

Claim:
Apparatus, comprising: a cover component formed as spatially separated multiple panels having a fixed positional relationship therebetween, for providing a first function to a user of the apparatus, a body component formed as spatially separated multiple panels having a fixed positional relationship therebetween, for providing a second function to the user, where multiple panels of both of the cover and body components are each formed on a different spatial plane, and a coupling structure for slidingly coupling together the spatially separated multiple panels of the cover and body components in an interleaved manner so that the spatially separated multiple panels of each of the cover and body components maintain their respective fixed positional relationship as the multiple panels of one of the cover and body components are simultaneously moveable as a group with respect to multiple panels of the other of the cover and body components between a first and a second position, wherein in the first position multiple panels of the cover component at least partially cover multiple panels of the body component, and in the second position multiple panels of the cover component at least partially uncover multiple panels of the body component, and wherein said at least partial covering and uncovering provides said first and said second functions, respectively, to the user.
