Patent number: 10036666Abstract: A photosensor is provided with a sensor circuit assembly. The sensor circuit assembly includes alight emitter, a light receiver, a light-emitter support, a light-receiver support, and a connecting part. The light emitter and the light receiver face each other. The light-emitter support extends from and supports the light emitter. The light-receiver support extends from and supports the light receiver. The connecting part connects one end of the light-emitter support with one end of the light-receiver support. The connecting part includes a seal and a connection terminal that protrudes from the seal. The connection terminal includes a first press-contact part, and a first pressure part that presses the first press-contact part in a press-contact direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2016Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Tsuyoshi Miyata, Jun Nakajima, Seiji Miyashita, Kiyoshi Imai, Kazuya Ohtsuki

Patent number: 9425332Abstract: A photosensor includes a sensor module in which emitter and receiver leads protrude from a circuit-encapsulating portion in a direction intersecting with a direction in which an external connecting terminal extends. The photosensor includes a light emitter, a light receiver, a circuit-encapsulating portion, a connecting terminal, first and second emitter leads, and first and second receiver leads. When the connecting terminal extends in a first direction, and a first plane is parallel to the first direction, the first and second emitter leads protrude from the circuit-encapsulating portion in a direction parallel to the first plane and intersecting with the first direction, and extend opposite to the first direction. The first and second receiver leads protrude from the circuit-encapsulating portion in the direction parallel to the first plane and intersecting with the first direction and opposite to a direction in which the first and second emitter leads protrude, and extend opposite to the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Tsuyoshi Miyata, Kazuya Ohtsuki, Jun Nakajima, Seiji Miyashita, Kiyoshi Imai, Makoto Kasuya

Patent number: 9312403Abstract: A photosensor includes an emitter element, an emitter-encapsulating portion, a receiver element, a receiver-encapsulating portion, a circuit portion, and a circuit-encapsulating portion. The emitter-encapsulating portion encapsulates the emitter element. The receiver-encapsulating portion encapsulates the receiver element. The circuit portion includes a luminous element for indicating an operation. The circuit-encapsulating portion encapsulates the circuit portion. The circuit-encapsulating portion includes an operation indicator portion facing the luminous element. The emitter-encapsulating portion, the receiver-encapsulating portion, and the circuit-encapsulating portion are connected to one another with a conductive leadframe. The emitter-encapsulating portion, the receiver-encapsulating portion, and the circuit-encapsulating portion are formed from the same resin material containing a light diffusing agent.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2015Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Tsuyoshi Miyata, Kazuya Ohtsuki, Jun Nakajima, Seiji Miyashita, Kiyoshi Imai

Patent number: 7383068Abstract: A hinge mechanism which coupled an upper side housing and a lower side housing in such a manner that they can be opened and closed, a push button which opens the hinge mechanism when it was depressed, light emission section which has the push button lighted up at the time of light emission, and control section which turns on the light emission section (step S4) when the hinge mechanism is closed at the time that there was an incoming call (step S2) are disposed. By this means, since the push button for opening the hinge mechanism is lighted up when a portable communication terminal apparatus was folded at the time that there was an incoming call, it becomes possible for a user to easily recognize that the user simply depress the push button for the purpose of a talk over the phone.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2004Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiko Oota, Kazufumi Takeshita, Naomasa Suzuki, Seiji Miyashita
