Portable game/communication device
First Claim
1. A portable game/communication device, comprising:
- a first housing including a first sliding side surface having a prescribed radius of curvature;
a first swinging housing including a second sliding side surface having a prescribed radius of curvature, the second sliding side surface corresponding to the first sliding side surface, the first swinging housing being connected to one side of the first housing and being rotatable about a first hinge axis;
a second swinging housing including a third sliding side surface having a prescribed radius of curvature, the third sliding side surface corresponding to the first sliding side surface, the second swinging housing being connected to the other side of the first housing and being rotatable about a second hinge axis, such that the second swinging housing moves near to and away from the first swinging housing, the second hinge axis being spaced apart from the first hinge axis; and
a second housing rotatably connected to the first housing by means of a hinge unit, such that the second housing is moveable near to and away from the first housing about the hinge unit.
