  • Patent number: 7480104
    Abstract: A lens device includes a base unit, a rotatable barrel component, a press plate, and a lens unit. The base unit includes a base plate, and a stationary barrel component connected to the base plate and extending there from a long an axis. The rotatable barrel component is sleeved rotatably on the stationary barrel component. The press plate has at least one fixing end portion secured to the base unit, and a press section connected to the fixing end portion. The press section is elastically deformable relative to the fixing end portion and is disposed to abut against an annular outer surface of the rotatable barrel component to resist axial movement of the rotatable barrel component. The lens unit is driven to move relative to the base unit along the axis upon rotation of the rotatable barrel component.

  • Publication number: 20080310034
    Abstract: A lens device includes a seat unit having an image sensing component, a first barrel unit, a first lens module coupled to the first barrel unit, and a second lens module mounted on the seat unit. When the first barrel unit moves toward the seat unit along an optical axis, the first lens module moves in radial directions via a first guide mechanism such that a first lens unit is misaligned with the image sensing component relative to the optical axis, while the second lens module is driven to rotate via a second guide mechanism such that a second lens unit is misaligned with the image sensing component. The lens device further includes a first biasing unit for biasing the first lens module to a first shooting position, and a second biasing unit for biasing the second lens module to a second shooting position.

  • Publication number: 20080291557
    Abstract: A lens barrel is disclosed. The lens barrel includes a sleeve having curved groove on an inner side thereof, a lens module having at least one lens and an optical axis having an object end and an image end, and a pin projecting from the lens module and engaged in a curved groove, whereby the lens module is slidably disposed in the sleeve and the sleeve is rotated to move the lens module along the optical axis. The pin has a contact surface contacting the curved groove and a notch is formed on the contact surface.

  • Publication number: 20080012982
    Abstract: An electric dust-proof device includes a base seat, a driving mechanism, and a dust-proof cover. The driving mechanism is disposed on the base seat, and includes a power unit, and a drive unit. The drive unit includes a sliding seat driven by the power unit, a pair of first and second pushing portions disposed on the sliding seat and spaced apart from each other, and a guiding assembly for guiding reciprocal movement of the sliding seat along a direction. The dust-proof cover is disposed pivotally on the base seat, and has an engaging portion disposed between the first and second pushing portions, and a cover plate portion connected to the engaging portion. The first and second pushing portions cooperate to move the dust-proof cover between an open position and a close position as a result of the reciprocal movement of the sliding seat.
