In thestate 200 of FIG. 2A , the foldablehandheld device 100 is in the first positioning position, and thesecond housing 120 is upright on thefirst housing 110 . In contact, thefirst shell 110 can support thesecond shell 120 in contact with it so that thesecond shell 120 will not fall in the direction of theelastic piece 140 . Theflange 142 of theelastic piece 140 provided on thefirst housing 110 is also in contact with theabutting surface 122 of thesecond housing 120, wherein the contact position of theelastic piece 140 and thesecond housing 120 is that thesecond housing 120 is close to the first One end of thehousing 110, that is, the elastic force applied by theelastic piece 140 is applied to the bottom of thesecond housing 120, so that thesecond housing 120 is not easy to fall to the other side relative to theelastic piece 140 when there is no external force, so Firstly, thesecond housing 120 can stand upright relative to thefirst housing 110 , so that the foldablehandheld device 100 is in the first positioning position.

接着，参照图2B的状态210，此时的使用者可施加外力，以克服弹片140所施加的弹力而推动第二壳体120，使第二壳体120因受力而向外打开，即第二壳体120沿着旋转轴向150相对于第一壳体110转动，其中弹片140为垂直于旋转轴向150设置。由于第二壳体120包含弧形的曲面124，因此，在推开第二壳体120的时候，弹片140可顺着第二壳体120的弧形的曲面124产生摇摆的动作。此时，具有曲面124的第二壳体120可视为凸轮的一部分，弹片140摇摆的幅度可由曲面124的形状控制。Next, referring to thestate 210 in FIG. 2B , the user at this time can apply an external force to push thesecond housing 120 against the elastic force exerted by theelastic sheet 140, so that thesecond housing 120 is opened outward due to the force, that is, thesecond housing 120 is opened outwards due to the force. Thesecond casing 120 rotates relative to thefirst casing 110 along therotation axis 150 , wherein theelastic piece 140 is arranged perpendicular to therotation axis 150 . Since thesecond housing 120 includes an arc-shapedcurved surface 124 , when thesecond housing 120 is pushed away, theelastic piece 140 can swing along the arc-shapedcurved surface 124 of thesecond housing 120 . At this time, thesecond housing 120 with thecurved surface 124 can be regarded as a part of the cam, and the swinging range of theelastic piece 140 can be controlled by the shape of thecurved surface 124 .

Theflange 142 of theelastic piece 140 is against thegroove 126 of thesecond housing 120 to limit the displacement of thesecond housing 120 and keep the foldablehandheld device 100 at the second positioning position.

如图2A至图2C所示，第二壳体120可沿着旋转轴向150相对于第一壳体110在第一定位位置与第二定位位置之间转动。第二壳体120相对于第一壳体110的掀合角度约在0度至90度之间。当第二壳体120沿着旋转轴向150相对于第一壳体110转动时，设置于第一壳体110上的弹片140的凸缘142与第二壳体120保持接触，其中当折叠式手持装置100处于第一定位位置时，弹片140上的凸缘142与第二壳体120的抵靠面122接触，接着，使用者可施力于第二壳体120，使弹片140沿着曲面124滑动，使折叠式手持装置100处于第二定位位置时，弹片140上的凸缘142与第二壳体120的凹槽126卡合。使用者可再一次地施力于第二壳体120，使得弹片140上的凸缘142脱离第二壳体120上的凹槽126，而沿着曲面124滑动，使折叠式手持装置100回到第一定位位置。As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C , thesecond housing 120 can rotate relative to thefirst housing 110 along therotation axis 150 between a first positioning position and a second positioning position. The flip angle of thesecond casing 120 relative to thefirst casing 110 is approximately between 0 degrees and 90 degrees. When thesecond housing 120 rotates relative to thefirst housing 110 along therotation axis 150, theflange 142 of theelastic sheet 140 provided on thefirst housing 110 keeps in contact with thesecond housing 120, wherein when the foldable When thehandheld device 100 is at the first positioning position, theflange 142 on theelastic piece 140 is in contact with theabutting surface 122 of thesecond casing 120, and then the user can apply force to thesecond casing 120 to make theelastic piece 140 move along the curved surface. 124 slides, so that when the foldablehandheld device 100 is in the second positioning position, theflange 142 on theelastic piece 140 engages with thegroove 126 of thesecond housing 120 . The user can apply force to thesecond housing 120 again, so that theflange 142 on theelastic piece 140 breaks away from thegroove 126 on thesecond housing 120 and slides along thecurved surface 124, so that the foldablehandheld device 100 returns to the The first positioning position.
