Bar-type wireless communication terminal and rotary type hinge device thereof
First Claim
1. A bar-type wireless communication terminal comprising:
- a lower body having a camera lens unit arranged in its one side, a first keypad arranged in its front side and a second keypad arranged in its rear side; and
an upper body having a display device disposed in its front side, said upper body being coupled to an upper end of the lower body in such a manner that the upper body is allowed to rotate in a twisted direction with respect to a rotation axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the lower body;
and further comprising;
a first hinge base fixed in the lower body, the first hinge base having a hinge housing and first coupling arms extended laterally in opposite directions from a lower end of the hinge housing, the hinge housing defining a vertically extended receiving space; and
a second hinge base fixed in the upper body, the second hinge base having a rotating member and second coupling arms extended laterally in opposite directions from an upper end of the rotating member, the rotating member being received inside the hinge housing to rotate therein relative to a rotation axis extending in a vertical direction of the first hinge base.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a bar-type wireless communication terminal, and a rotary type hinge device thereof. The bar-type wireless communication terminal comprises a lower body and an upper body. The lower body is installed at its one side surface with a camera lens unit, and at its front and rear surfaces with first and second keypads, respectively. The upper body is coupled to the upper end of the lower body so that it is rotatable in a twisting direction relative to a rotation axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the lower body. The upper body is installed at its front surface with a display device. According to the bar-type wireless communication terminal constructed as stated above and a rotary type hinge device thereof, it is possible to provide the user with a wider choice of the terminals. In addition, in conjunction with a display device and a camera lens unit additionally installed to the wireless communication terminal, the image display direction of the display device as well as an aim direction of the camera lens unit can be set at various different angles, thereby allowing the user to conveniently utilize the wireless communication terminal for image capturing and video communications.
