Abstract: A novel micro camera module that is manually adjustable between a close-up mode and an infinite mode includes a lens assembly adjustably mounted within a sleeve that is adjustably mounted into a housing. In a particular embodiment the sleeve includes a channel (cam groove) that is engaged by a plurality of pins fixed to the housing. Further, a biasing member is disposed between the sleeve and the housing such that an upward force will enable the pins to firmly engage the lower portion of the channel. In a more particular embodiment, the channel defines two detents that secure the sleeve into predetermined positions with respect to the housing. In an even more particular embodiment, the channel is sloped such that upon rotation of the sleeve, the distance between the lens assembly and an image capture device is changed. In another particular embodiment, the camera module includes an electrical mode detecting switch that is indicative of the position of the camera module.

Abstract: An improved alignable pulley or sheave assembly includes: (a) a shaft having a rotational axis and an exterior surface which has a portion that is spherically shaped, (b) a pulley having a perimeter and a central opening with an interior surface that is configured so as to allow the pulley to be mounted on shaft's spherical shaped portion, and (c) a means for locking the shaft and pulley together such that they rotate together while also enabling the pulley to tilt from side to side with respect to a plane that lies perpendicular to the shaft's rotational axis.

Abstract: A door latch (20) for a compartment (11) for a portable product housing (10) includes an outer shell (14) to capture the door latch, to capture a spring mechanism (40), and to enable the door latch to translate on the portable product housing. The door latch further includes an inner latch piece (12) to rotate while remaining captured by the outer shell and to create engagement between the door latch and the portable product housing while preventing disengagement. The outer shell can further capture the inner latch piece and the inner latch piece can further include a feature (18) for preventing over-rotation in both a locked and an unlocked position. The door latch can be made using double shot molding or in-mold assembly techniques. Operationally, the door latch can translate on the portable product housing by traversing a slot (30) using a locking tooth (17) on the inner latch piece.
