CONNECTING SYSTEM OF MULTI-SECTION HOUSING AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROVIDED WITH THAT CONNECTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A connecting system of a multi-section housing having a first connecting device which is provided at a center part of single end faces of first and second housing sections of the same dimensions which are superposed with display surfaces at the outsides, the first connecting device comprising:
- a first shaft which is provided in a direction vertical to superposed surfaces of the first and second housing sections; and
a second shaft which is provided in a direction perpendicular to the first shaft;
whereinwhen a center line of the first shaft is arranged on a line bisecting the end faces to the left and right, and a center line of the second shaft is arranged on the superposed surfaces of the first and second housing sections, by making the second housing section which is superposed below the first housing section rotate by the first shaft by 180 degrees and in this state making the first housing section rotate by the second shaft by 180 degrees, the display surfaces of the first and second housing sections can be formed on the same plane.

Abstract
A connecting system of a multi-section housing provided at one end face of a first and second housing superposed with their display surfaces at the outsides, comprising: a first shaft vertical to superposed surfaces of first and second housing; and a second shaft perpendicular to the first shaft, wherein if a center line of the first shaft is arranged on a line bisecting the end face to the left and right and the center line of the second shaft is arranged on the superposed surfaces of the first and second housing, the first shaft can be used to allow the second housing superposed over the first housing to be rotated by 180 degrees and, in this state, the first housing can be made to rotate by the second shaft by 180 degrees so as to arrange the display surfaces of the first and second housings on the same plane.

11. An electronic device which is provided with a multi-section housing comprised of first to fourth four housing sections superposed in that order and with the first and second housing sections and third and fourth housing sections with their display surfaces at the outside, which electronic device which is provided with a multi-section housing is provided with
a connecting system of a multi-section housing which is provided with connecting devices which are arranged at end faces of the first and second housing sections and end faces of the third and fourth housing sections, which allow the second housing section to be rotated with respect to the first housing section and the third housing section to be rotated with respect to the fourth housing section by first shafts in the horizontal direction by 180 degrees, then enable the second housing section to be rotated with respect to the first housing section and the third housing section to be rotated with respect to the fourth housing section by second shafts in the vertical direction by 180 degrees and which are provided with first hinges which connect single end faces of the first and fourth housing sections which are exposed in directions parallel to the second shafts and second hinges which connect end faces of the second and third housing sections which are exposed in directions parallel to the second shafts at the opposite sides to the end faces of the first hinge sides and a control device which is provided at any of the first to fourth housing sections and displays an image of one-quarter of a screen'"'"'s worth of a single display image synchronized with other images, wherein by using the first shafts of the connecting system of a multi-section housing to make the second and third housing sections be rotated with respect to the first and fourth housing sections in the horizontal direction and, in the finished rotation state, use the first and second hinges to make the first and fourth housing sections and the second and third housing sections be rotated about the second shafts while being opened, the first to fourth housing sections form a single flat surface, and when the single flat surface is formed, the control device is used to display a single image as a whole on the adjoining display screens.
