Publication number: 20120194984Abstract: A problem of the invention is to, while miniaturizing a coupling portion for coupling first and second cases constituting a portable terminal, prevent a cable that is passed through the coupling portion, from being raised, and fix the cable to the coupling portion with adjusting an extra length of the cable. The portable terminal of the invention includes: a first case; a second case; a coupling portion which swingably couples the first case and the second case to each other, and which includes a bearing portion that rotatably holds a shaft portion having a hollow portion; and a cable which is passed through the shaft portion. The coupling portion includes a fixing portion which clamps the cable that is passed through the hollow portion of the shaft member.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2010Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventor: Toshiharu Aikawa

Patent number: 7619211Abstract: LED elements (5) which are light emitting elements are mounted on a substrate (7). LED light guide plates (9, 9) which are light-emitting-element light guide components are arranged at positions corresponding to the LED elements (5) of the substrate (7). Each LED light guide plate (9) has a substrate-side protrusion (27) which is a portion to-be-held. The substrate-side protrusion (27) has a sectional shape which becomes smaller toward the substrate (7). The substrate-side protrusions (27) are fitted into the holding holes (37, 39) of a keeper plate (11) which is a holding member. The shapes of the holding holes (37, 39) are different in accordance with the arrangements of the LED light guide plates (9) in a light guide direction. Thus, in spite of the same shape of the LED light guide plates (9), the mounting heights thereof can be made different depending upon places. It is accordingly possible to provide a light emitting apparatus which can decrease the sorts of components.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2004Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Toshiharu Aikawa, Kazuko Matsuoka, Toshihiro Takahashi

Patent number: 6867812Abstract: A rail groove is provided on an outer peripheral portion of a focus adjusting ring. A lens seat, supporting an image pickup lens, is attached to an escutcheon forming a main body. A plurality of engaging protrusions, provided on a front surface of the escutcheon around the lens seat, engage with the rail groove. Cam surfaces, formed on the focus adjusting ring, are brought into contact with protrusions of a bracket which mounts an imaging element. The rotational motion of the focus adjusting ring is converted into a linear or progressive motion of a bracket by the cam surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2001Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaomi Iiizumi, Toshiharu Aikawa
