  • Patent number: 11184540
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus includes a sensor unit that includes a shake detecting sensor configured to detect an applied shake, a flexible printed circuit board having a sensor mounting part, and a holding member having a first surface configured to hold the sensor mounting part. The sensor unit is disposed in a first direction parallel to a shutter blade moving direction. The first surface and a second surface separated from the first surface in the first direction are provided so as to be orthogonal to the first direction. The flexible printed circuit board has an extending portion extending from the sensor mounting part. The extending portion has a bent portion that is bent in the first direction between the first surface and the second surface so that an extending direction is reversed in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 8989423
    Abstract: A foldable tongue piece portion formed to extend at an end of a microphone bush. An insertion hole in which a lead wire is inserted is formed near the tongue piece portion. By storing a microphone, to which the microphone bush is attached, in a container portion, the tongue piece portion is folded and the lead wire drawn through the insertion hole is pressed.

  • Patent number: 8715844
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus which uses a battery as a power source includes a battery storage unit configured to store the battery which can be inserted and removed, a locking member configured to move between a position at which the battery stored in the battery storage unit is locked and a position at which the lock of the battery is released by rotating in a direction perpendicular to a direction that the battery is inserted to and removed from the battery storage unit, a drive member which is movably supported in the insertion and removal direction of the battery with respect to the battery storage unit, and on which a claw abutting on the locking member is formed, and an urging member configured to urge the drive member in a direction that the battery is ejected, to attach the claw to the locking member.

  • Patent number: 8654300
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display panel, a flexible circuit board connected to a connection portion formed on one side of the liquid crystal display panel, a display window bonded to a display surface of the liquid crystal display panel so that an end face thereof protrudes from an end face on one side of the liquid crystal display panel, an exterior member in which an opening where the display window is arranged is formed, and a first light shielding member arranged so that the flexible circuit board positioned near a gap is covered therewith if the display window is arranged in the opening so that the gap is formed between the end face of the display window and the end face of the opening.

  • Patent number: 8405764
    Abstract: On a drive ring, a first cam and a second cam are formed. The first cam engages with a slider when a light emitting unit is in a stored state. The second cam releases engagement between the slider and the first cam to engage with the slider when the light emitting unit in the stored state is brought into the in-use state by a manual operation. When the light emitting unit is moved from the stored state to the in-use state by the manual operation, a gap is formed between the light emitting unit that becomes the stored state and the slider so that the light emitting unit moves from the stored state to the first state with a state in which the slider is in engagement with the first cam without moving.

  • Patent number: 8400559
    Abstract: On a drive ring, a first flash lamp cam and a second flash lamp cam are formed. The first flash lamp cam engages with a flash unit to bring the flash unit into an in-use state when an imaging apparatus becomes a imaging state, and to bring the flash unit into a stored state when the imaging apparatus becomes a non-imaging state. If the flash unit is moved from the in-use state to the stored state by a manual operation, when the imaging apparatus is in the imaging state, the second flash lamp cam releases engagement between the flash unit and the first flash lamp cam to engage with the flash unit, and brings the imaging apparatus into the non-imaging state from the imaging state while maintaining the flash unit in the stored state.
