Abstract

A sliding assembly has a slider and at least one rail movably engaged with the slider for movement. The rail is coupled to a module operable in a number of module positions. A lever arm is connected between a pin on the slider and the module to change the module positions, such that when the module positions are caused to change, the slider is also caused to move relative to the rail. In a portable device, such as a mobile phone having a first device part and a second device part, the first device part can be fixedly mounted to the slider and the second device part can be fixedly mounted to the rail in order to achieve a sliding motion between the first and second device parts so as to allow the mobile phone to operate between closed and open positions.
