Patent number: 7965934Abstract: A switching mechanism for a camera device includes a driving device, a first screw bar connecting to the driving device, a second screw bar connecting to the first screw bar, and a lead screw having an end coupled with the second screw bar. The first screw bar is driven by the driving device via a screw thread thereof, and the second screw bar is driven by the first screw bar via a screw thread thereof, thereby driving the lead screw for rotation. The screw nut is disposed on the lead screw and moved back and forth via the rotation of the lead screw. Two stop blocks disposed at two ends of the lead screw respectively are to limit two positions of the moved screw nut while the screw nut is moved beyond a threaded area of the lead screw, upon which time the screw nut is slightly engaged with the lead screw.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2009Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: VTC Electronics Corp.Inventors: Tai-Kuo Wang, Wen-Chi Wang, Julian Lin

Patent number: 7918613Abstract: A switching mechanism for a camera includes: a control unit; a driving device coupled with and actuated by the control unit; a first gear set coupled with the driving device; a second gear coupled with the first gear set and centrally provided with a rotary shaft having a shaft hole formed with threads; a spindle being female-connected to the shaft hole and which has an axial surface formed with outer threads corresponding to the threads of the shaft hole, thus allowing the second gear to move along and relative to the spindle; and a translation member positioned perpendicular to the spindle and provided with a rack for engaging with the second gear and thus driving the translation member to move perpendicular to the spindle. The second gear drives or does not drive the rack as the engagement therebetween is made or broken.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2009Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: VTC Electronics CorporationInventors: Tai-Kuo Wang, Wen-Chi Wang, Julian Lin

Publication number: 20090133046Abstract: The present invention discloses a disc guiding apparatus including a logic apparatus and a first and a second disc guiding elements. The logic apparatus has a rod, a first and a second guiding elements, and a first and a second moving parts. The first and the second disc guiding elements are connected to the first moving part and the second moving part, respectively. The first and the second moving parts move along the extended direction of the rod by the first and the second guiding elements. The rod has a central portion and two ends, wherein the width of the central portion is narrower than each of the two ends. The first and the second moving parts are disposed at the different ends of the rod.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2007Publication date: May 21, 2009Applicant: LITE-ON IT CORPORATIONInventor: Tai-Kuo Wang
