  • Patent number: 10774870
    Abstract: A vacuum suction device including a suction pad having a concave inner surface. The vacuum suction device also includes a vent hole penetrating from the concave inner surface of the suction pad to an outer surface of the suction pad. The vacuum suction device also includes a valve member disposed on the outer surface of the suction pad. As a pressure of a space, formed by an inner space of the suction pad, decreases, the valve member closes the vent hole from the outer surface of the suction pad.

  • Patent number: 10704732
    Abstract: A posture maintaining device for a 360° camera according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a first correcting portion comprising a seating portion, on which a camera having a 360° view angle is seated, the first correcting portion being able to make a rotational movement about a first direction; a second correcting portion arranged on one side of the first correcting portion to be able to make a rotational movement about a second direction, which is different from the first direction; a third correcting portion arranged on the lower end of the second correcting portion to be able to make a rotational movement about a third direction, which is different from the first or second direction; and a counterbalance connected to the first correcting portion and configured to guide the camera so as to remain horizontal.

  • Patent number: 8928996
    Abstract: A lens barrel assembly, which has improved shock resistance and quickly resumes normal operation when external shock is applied, includes a first barrel including an elastic moving pin which protrudes toward a second barrel and elastically deforms. The second barrel includes a first guide groove into which the elastic moving pin is inserted and which extends obliquely in a circumferential direction to guide a movement of the first barrel, and at least one second guide groove including an end separated from the first guide groove and another end connected to the first guide groove to guide the elastic moving pin so that the elastic moving pin returns into the first guide groove when the elastic moving pin is separated from the first guide groove. The second barrel rotates in an optical axis direction and supports the first barrel so that the first barrel moves relative to the optical axis direction.
