Abstract

Disclosed herein is a scent bottle type portable wireless terminal. The scent bottle type portable wireless terminal includes a body housing, a band shape rim unit surrounding upper and lower surfaces and a pair of side surfaces of the body housing, a rotatable lens housing provided between the body housing and the rim unit, the lens housing extending in a longitudinal direction of the body housing, one or more openings defined between the body housing, the lens housing and the rim unit, and a rotatable handle coaxially extending relative to the lens housing so that it protrudes outwardly from an outer surface of the rim unit.

Claims

1. A scent bottle type portable wireless terminal comprising:

a body housing;

a rim unit having a band shape surrounding upper and lower surfaces and a pair of side surfaces of the body housing;

a rotatable lens housing provided between the body housing and the rim unit, the lens housing extending in a longitudinal direction of the body housing;

at least one opening defined between the body housing, the lens housing and the rim unit; and

a rotatable handle coaxially extending relative to the lens housing and protruding outwardly from an outer surface of the rim unit.

2. The terminal as set forth in claim 1, wherein the body housing further comprises a front surface and a rear surface of the body housing, and

wherein the front surface of the body housing is provided with a display unit, a plurality of keys, and a microphone, the rear surface of the body housing is provided with a speaker, and the upper surface of the body housing is provided with camera lens operation keys symmetrically arranged at left and right sides of the upper surface of the body housing.

3. The terminal as set forth in claim 1, wherein the lens housing is formed to have a cylindrical shape, and has an upper surface contacting an inner surface of the rim unit, and a lower surface contacting the upper surface of the body housing.

4. The terminal as set forth in claim 1, wherein the rotatable handle is formed to have a cylindrical shape, and has a lower surface contacting the outer surface of the rim unit.

5. The terminal as set forth in claim 1, wherein the rotatable handle is provided at its outer peripheral surface with bosses for facilitating rotating operation thereof, and further provided at an upper surface thereof with an ear microphone jack hole.

6. The terminal as set forth in claim 1, wherein the rim unit is made of a light-weight metal material.

7. The terminal as set forth in claim 1, wherein the rotatable handle is made of a light-weight metal material.

8. The terminal as set forth in claim 1, wherein the openings are defined by the upper surface of the body housing, the lens housing, and the inner surface of the rim unit, thereby serving as holding holes.

9. A scent bottle type portable wireless terminal comprising:

a body housing;

a rotatable lens housing provided between a body housing and a rim unit surrounding the body housing, the lens housing extending in a longitudinal direction of the body housing; and

a rotatable handle coaxially extending relative to the lens housing and protruding outwardly from an outer surface of the rim unit.

10. The terminal as set forth in claim 9, wherein the body housing further comprises a front surface and a rear surface, upper and lower surfaces and a pair of side surfaces, and
