Abstract:
This patent document provides optical shutter devices based on electromagnetically activated shutters using a printed circuit board (“PCB”) structure to provide a coil that generates a magnetic field to move a permanent magnet in and out of an optical aperture integrated as part of the PCB structure to open and close the passage of light through the optical aperture.
Abstract:
A lens module including a base, a lens, a front cover, at least a shielding plate and a gasket is provided. The lens is disposed on the base. The front cover is disposed above the base and the lens, and the base and the front cover may rotate relatively. The shielding plate is pivoted on the base and has a first guide portion. The gasket is fixed on the front cover, the shielding plate is located between the gasket and the base. The gasket has a through hole corresponding to the lens and a second guide portion coupled to the first guide portion. When the base and the front cover rotate relatively, the first guide portion is guided by the second guide portion, the shielding plate can limitedly swing to move to the through hole to cover the lens or move away from the through hole to expose the lens.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a bracket, a cover, a first sliding member, a second sliding member fixed to the cover, a resilient member positioned between the first and second sliding members, and fasteners. Each fastener includes an engaging portion and a hooking portion. The fasteners extend through the bracket and the first sliding member, to limit the first sliding member and the bracket between the engaging portions and the hooking portions.

Abstract:
A camera is provided. The camera includes a lens body, a first covering portion, a second covering portion and a rotating member. The first covering portion covers the lens body in a movable manner, and the second covering portion covers the lens body in a movable manner. The rotating member is rotatably disposed on the lens body and respectively connects the first covering portion and the second covering portion. The rotating member rotates to move the first covering portion and the second covering portion toward opposite directions.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a lens barrier unit that can further reduce the retraction space of lens barriers. A lens barrier unit of the present invention includes a barrier case 204 having an opening 250; and multiple spherical barriers 202 and 203 provided so as to pivot about a pivotal axis. The barriers 202 and 203 can be shifted between a first state for closing the opening 250 and a second state for opening the opening 250. In the second state, the barriers 202 and 203 are all stored in the lower part of the barrier case 204.
Abstract:
A lens barrel capable of achieving a smooth zoom operation and reducing a driving load at the time of barrel retraction. The lens barrel includes a rectilinear guide cylinder rectilinearly moving in an optical axis direction, and a movable cam cylinder moving in the optical axis direction while rotating relative to the guide cylinder. The guide cylinder is formed at its inner peripheral surface with a cam groove and a rectilinear guide groove that divides the cam groove at a boundary between a retracted region and a photographing region, and is formed with a penetration cam groove extending from the inner peripheral surface to an outer peripheral surface of the guide cylinder. The movable cam cylinder moves in the photographing region while the first pin engages the cam groove, and moves in the retracted region while the second pin engages the penetration cam groove.
Abstract:
The shutter mechanism includes an aperture-unblocking member mounted for movement between an unactivated aperture-blocking position and an activated aperture-unblocking position. A cocked drive mechanism is coupled to the aperture-unblocking member and is operative when released for moving the member from the unactivated to the activated position. An inertial braking mechanism is driven by the drive mechanism when the latter moves the aperture-unblocking member to the activated position, and is operative during such movement for applying to the drive mechanism an inertial braking force slowing the movement of the aperture-unblocking member to the activated position. The drive mechanism includes a drive cam, and the inertial braking mechanism includes a driven cam. The surface of the drive cam bears upon the surface of the driven cam and transmits to the driven cam the drive force by means of which the drive mechanism drives the inertial braking mechanism. The cams are so configured that, as the drive mechanism drives the inertial braking mechanism, the surface of the drive cam rolls along the surface of the driven cam.
Abstract:
A focal-plane shutter includes at least one blade group, a shutter base plate where the blade group is rotatably attached, a blade driving member rotatably supported by the shutter base plate and configured to drive the blade group from a standby position to a travelling completed position when taking pictures, a charge member configured to charge the blade driving member and a braking member formed on a first surface opposite to a second surface where the blade driving member of the shutter base plate is rotatably supported and configured to abut against a protruding portion which penetrates the shutter base plate from the blade driving member so as to protrude to the first surface.
