  • Digital camera with spindle capable of positioning
    Patent number: 6879346
    Abstract: A digital camera with spindle capable of positioning has a spindle composed of a shaft carrier and a shaft sleeve, in which the shaft carrier has two arcuate columns and the shaft sleeve is sleeve-jointed to the shaft carrier. Those two arcuate columns confront against the top rim of the shaft sleeve such that a plurality of projecting dots of the arcuate columns would be snap-engaged in a plurality of corresponding dimples formed in the top rim of the shaft sleeve to thereby achieve angular positioning effect of a lens end in the digital camera.
