Patent ID: 8306585

Claim:
A mobile terminal, comprising: an upper body; a lower body having a recessed portion formed on an upper surface of the lower body; and a slide module connecting the upper and lower bodies, wherein the slide module is configured to slidably move the upper body in a relative linear motion with respect to the lower body and to incline the upper body to an angle relative to the lower body using a tilting motion, the slide module comprising: an upper slide member fixed to the upper body; a lower slide member fixed to the lower body; and at least one cam portion formed on the upper slide member such that the at least one cam portion is configured to contact the lower slide member when the upper slide member is moved toward an open configuration using the relative linear motion, wherein the contact causes the upper slide member to be inclined when the upper slide member is moved to the open configuration using the tilting motion, wherein an inclined surface of the recessed portion is inclined relative to a sliding direction of the upper body toward the open configuration, and wherein the rear surface of the upper body is supported by the incline surface of the recessed portion when at least an end of the upper body is moved into the recessed portion by the tilting motion, wherein the at least one cam portion is protruded from an upper surface of the upper slide member and comprises an inclined surface along one direction, wherein while the upper slide member moves in a closed configuration for the open configuration, the inclined surface of the at least one cam portion contacts the lower slide member so as to cause the tilting motion.
