Abstract: An automatic focusing camera base has a seat, a motor, a focusing device and a transmission device. The motor is mounted and horizontally lies on the seat and has a shaft. The focusing device is mounted on the seat and can move relative to the seat. The transmission device is mounted between the motor and the focusing device and has an active member mounted around the shaft and being movable along the shaft and a passive member mounted pivotally on the seat, abutting and driven by the active member to pivot and move the focusing device. The transmission device are designed especially to cooperate with and allow the motor to horizontally lie on the seat instead of upright standing and therefore a thickness of the automatic focusing camera base along a linear line perpendicular to an axis of the motor is reduced.

Abstract: An auto-focusing camera has a base, a focusing element, a lens, a motor and a transmission assembly. The focusing element is mounted movably on the base. The lens is mounted on the focusing element. The motor is mounted and lies flatly on the base and has a shaft mounted rotatably to the motor. The transmission assembly connects to the shaft on the motor and the focusing element and allows the motor to move the focusing element through the transmission assembly. The motor lying on the base decreases a thickness of the auto-focusing camera along an axis of the lens and makes the auto-focusing camera thin and compact. The electrical appliance with the auto-focusing camera is thin, compact and salable.
