Portable dual hinge type communication device usable as personal digital assistant
First Claim
1. A portable communication device, comprising:
- a main housing;
a first hinge axis extending in the lateral direction of the main housing;
a second hinge axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the main housing while being in parallel with at least one side of the main housing; and
an auxiliary housing rotatable relative to the main housing about the first hinge axis to allow the auxiliary housing to rotate away from the main housing and towards the main housing, and the auxiliary housing also rotatable relative to the main housing about the second hinge axis to allow the auxiliary housing to rotate away from the main housing and towards the main housing.

Abstract
A portable folder-type communication device, including a data input unit; a first hinge axis extending in the lateral direction of the data input unit along the rear end of the data input unit; a connection member rotatable relative to the data input unit about the first hinge axis; a second hinge axis extending in the direction perpendicular to the first hinge axis such that the second hinge axis can rotate about the first hinge axis; and a data output unit rotatable relative to the data input unit about the first hinge axis to allow the data output unit to rotate away from or towards the data input unit and also rotatable relative to the data input unit about the second hinge axis to allow the data output unit to rotate away from or towards the data input unit.

10. A portable folder-type communication device, comprising:
-
a data input unit;
a first hinge axis extending in a lateral direction of the data input unit along a rear end of the data input unit;
a connection member rotatable relative to the data input unit about the first hinge axis;
a second hinge axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the first hinge axis such that the second hinge axis can be rotated about the first hinge axis; and
a data output unit rotatable relative to the data input unit about the first hinge axis such that the data output unit is rotated away from the data input unit and towards the data input unit, and also rotatable relative to the data input unit about the second hinge axis to allow the data output unit to rotate away from the data input unit and towards the data input unit. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
