Patent ID: 8010169

Claim:
A handheld electronic device, comprising: a first body, having a first frame, the first frame having a first opening and a blocking part, wherein the blocking part protrudes upwards; a second body, disposed on the first body, the second body having a second frame slidely coupled to the first frame along an operating axis, wherein the second frame has a second opening, and an exposed end of the second frame is suitable for sliding outside the first frame, so as to change the first body and the second body from a stacked state to a spread state; a flexible electrical connecting means, penetrating through the first opening of the first frame and the second opening of the second frame, and electrically connected between the first body and the second body; and a cover, slidely coupled to the second frame along the operating axis, and located between the first frame and the second frame, the cover and the exposed end of the second frame being located at a same side of the flexible electrical connecting means, wherein two opposite sides of the cover along the operating axis have a first protrusion and a second protrusion respectively, the first protrusion being located between the second protrusion and the exposed end of the second frame, and the blocking part of the first frame being located between the first protrusion and the second protrusion, wherein when the first body and the second body are in the stacked state, the cover is located at a first position on the second frame, and when the second frame is moved along the operating axis to slide the exposed end of the second frame outside the first frame, the blocking part of the first frame interferes with the second protrusion of the cover, such that the cover is moved from the first position on the second frame to a second position, so as to shield the second opening exposed due to movement of the second frame, and the first body and the second body are then in the spread state.
