Patent number: 8634022Abstract: The present invention provides a portable telephone with camera having a camera 7 mounted as opposed to a camera window 22 provided on a casing. The casing is provided with an auxiliary light window 23 adjacent to the camera window 22. Arranged in the rear of the auxiliary light window 23 is an auxiliary light source 8 for emitting light in photographing with the camera 7. The camera window 22 is covered with a main optical cover 4. The auxiliary light window 23 is covered with an auxiliary optical cover 5. A light-shield surface 52 is formed between the main optical cover 4 and the auxiliary optical cover 5. Consequently the degradation of picture quality when the camera 7 and the auxiliary light source 8 are arranged close to each other is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2003Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventor: Masami Makino

Patent number: 6714123Abstract: An electronic device including a vibration generator having an eccentric weight member attached to the output of a motor. The motor is accommodated into a bracket made from elastic material, and the bracket is held in a casing. The bracket has a prism-shaped body, and has a through hole in which the motor is tightly fitted formed the central portion of the body, and the peripheral wall defining the through hole is formed with a slit cut from one end face of the body to a central portion of the body in a specified depth. Accordingly, the vibration generator is accommodated into the bracket with great ease. Moreover, the motor of the vibration generator is unlikely to change easily its rotating angle posture in the interior of the bracket while the bracket is assembled into a casing.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2000Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Miyake, Masami Makino
