Electronic equipment comprising a retractable screen

Abstract

This electronic equipment comprises a housing which is formed by two housing parts of which one ( 15 ) is integral with a retractable screen ( 10 ) which may take up a first position called closed position and a second position called open position which permits to see the whole screen. In the closed position one part of the screen remains visible and the other part of the screen is hidden in a second part of the housing ( 5 ). This second housing part supports other elements of the equipment, for example, microphone ( 2 ), keyboard ( 1 ) etc. . . .

1 . An electronic device comprising a housing formed by at least two housing parts one of which, called screen part, is integral with a retractable screen which may occupy a first position called closed position and a second position called open position relative to a part called fixed part, characterized in that in the position called closed position, the fixed part partly masks the screen.  
   
   
       2 . An electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that said screen part is mounted on projections so as to permit it being displaced.  
   
   
       3 . An electronic device as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that “hard points” are provided when said screen part is displaced, so that it can occupy stable positions.  
   
   
       4 . An electronic device as claimed in one of the  claims 1  to  3 , characterized in that a guide is provided having recesses which are integral with one of said guiding parts in which can be accommodated during the displacement a spring system which is integral with the other part so as to create said “hard points”.  
   
   
       5 . An electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the positions of the screen between two positions are ensured by latches that can be unlocked by a button.  
   
   
       6 . An electronic device as claimed in  claim 5 , characterized in that the latches permit to separate the two parts of the housing.
