ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH CAMERA MODULE AND SLIDING ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17955359 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH CAMERA MODULE AND SLIDING ASSEMBLY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a sliding assembly for a camera module. The device includes a housing, a support member with holes and a rail, a camera module installed in the support member, and a sliding assembly installed in one of the holes to slide along the rail.

  • The electronic device has a housing and a support member with holes and a rail.
  • A camera module is installed in the support member.
  • A sliding assembly is installed in one of the holes and can slide along the rail.
  • The sliding assembly includes a first sliding member on one side of the hole with a contact end that can touch the camera module.
  • The sliding assembly also includes a second sliding member on the other side of the hole, with the rail positioned between the two sliding members.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smartphones or tablets with sliding camera modules.
  • Security cameras with adjustable angles.
  • Drones with movable cameras.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows for a compact design by sliding the camera module inside the device.
  • Provides flexibility in adjusting the camera angle.
  • Protects the camera module when not in use.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Saves space in the device by sliding the camera module.
  • Enables users to adjust the camera angle as needed.
  • Protects the camera module from damage when not in use.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device may include a housing; a support member disposed inside the housing and including a first hole and a second hole in which a rail is formed in a longitudinal direction toward the first hole; a camera module installed in the support member; and a sliding assembly installed in the second hole to be slidable along the rail. The sliding assembly may include a first sliding member installed in the second hole in a first direction on one side of the second hole and including a contact end portion contactable with the camera module; a second sliding member installed in the second hole in a second direction opposite to the first direction on another side of the second hole such that the rail is positioned between the first sliding member and the second sliding member.
