Patent number: 7568848Abstract: A magnetic sliding door structure comprises a first and a second magnetic elements attracting each other and disposed on a shell body of a camera and a sliding door, a linkage member disposed below the sliding door, and a third magnetic element disposed at two ends of the linkage member. The third magnetic element repels from the first and second magnetic elements. When one end of the linkage member tilts, the third magnetic element at the other end will enter between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element to make the sliding door slide toward one side through the repulsive forces between them. This sliding door structure functions based on the physical properties of magnet to avoid complicated gear and rack structures and lower the manufacturing difficulty and cost. Moreover, electric power consumption in the prior art can be saved to increase the standby time of camera.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2006Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Altek CorporationInventor: Chin Hsin Ho

Patent number: 7534058Abstract: A lens cap module is provided and positioned at a holding stand. The lens cap module includes a plurality of leaf pieces, a switch and a gear transmission. The leaf pieces are slidably positioned at the holding stand, and the leaf pieces can come into contact with or separated from one another. The switch is sliadbly positioned at the holding stand, and the gear transmission is positioned between the leaf pieces and the switch. The switch drives the leaf pieces to rotate through the gear transmission. Thus, it saves much more space for the leaf pieces and spends much less time closing or opening the leaf pieces.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2006Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Altek CorporationInventor: Chin-Hsin Ho

Publication number: 20070243423Abstract: A non-directional connection module is described for connecting with a battery. The non-directional connection module uses a first conductive element to connect the positive pole of the battery, and a second conductive element to connect the negative pole of the battery. An insulation element is positioned between the first conductive element and the second conductive element. Both the second conductive element and the insulation element have respective holes. The positive pole of the battery can pass through the holes, but the negative pole of the battery cannot pass through the holes. In this light, the present invention uses the non-directional connection module to connect the battery so that there is no consideration of the positive or negative poles of the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2006Publication date: October 18, 2007Inventor: Chin-Hsin Ho
