20090122419 | LENS DRIVE DEVICE AND COIL WINDING METHOD - A lens drive device may include a movable body, a support body supporting the movable body through a spring member, and a magnetic drive mechanism provided with a coil. The movable body includes a coil winding part, end parts for restricting a range of the coil winding part, and a changing part for changing a drawing direction of the coil. The spring member is disposed near the other end part of the movable body and electrically connected with winding start and winding end of the coil. A coil winding method for the lens drive device may include a drawing step in which a coil is drawn between end parts, a changing step in which a drawing direction of the coil is changed by the changing part, and a winding step in which the coil is wound around the coil winding part. | 05-14-2009 |
20090122420 | LENS DRIVE DEVICE, SPRING MEMBER AND MANUFACTURING METHODS THEREFOR - A lens drive device may include a movable body movable in an optical axis direction, a support body supporting the movable body through a spring member which may include spring pieces electrically separated from each other, formed with a coil connecting part to which one of a winding start part and a winding end part of the coil is electrically connected. The movable body is provided with an accommodating part for accommodating the coil connecting part. The spring member may include a plate spring-shaped arm part connecting a support body side fixing part with a movable body side fixing part and the arm part is provided with a laser cut portion formed by a laser in a part of an edge part of the arm part. An edge part of the arm part except the laser cut portion may be a cut portion formed by press working or etching processing. | 05-14-2009 |
20090251808 | LENS DRIVING APPARATUS - In the lens driving apparatus having a sleeve, a support body (such as a yoke) that supports the sleeve via a spring member), coils attached to the sleeve, and magnets attached to the support body, the support body is provided with a yoke and a cover portion, the yoke being formed with a light-entrance window for collecting light reflected from a subject and the cover portion being attached to the inside of the light-entrance window; the cover portion, the spring member, and the magnets are arranged so that they are layered in this order from the light-entrance window, and the cover portion is formed of a non-magnetic material. | 10-08-2009 |
20090303621 | LENS DRIVING APPARATUS - A lens driving apparatus is disclosed. The lends driving apparatus may include a movable body holding lenses, a fixed body in which the movable body is mounted and movably along the lens optical axis direction, and a drive mechanism that moves the movable body in the lens optical axis direction. The drive mechanism may be equipped with a coil that is held by the movable body or the fixed body, a magnet that is held by the other body of the movable body and the fixed body, and a regulatory means that regulates the movement of the movable body which is induced by an electromagnetic force generated when current is passed through the coil. The coil may be opposed to the magnet in the lens optical direction. | 12-10-2009 |
20100060999 | MAGNETIC DEVICE AND LENS DRIVE DEVICE - A magnetic device may include a coil wound body having a first coil winding face and a second coil winding face in an axial direction, a coil wound around the first coil winding face and the second coil winding face, and a coil winding start part and a coil winding end part arranged on an opposite side to the second coil winding face with respect to the first coil winding face. The coil is wound around the first coil winding face by an odd number of layer(s) from the winding start part and then the coil is wound around the second coil winding face by an even number of layers in a reverse direction to the first coil winding face, and then the coil is wound around the first coil winding face by an odd number of layer(s) in a reverse direction to the second coil winding face. The magnetic device may be used in a lens drive device in which the coil wound body is a movable body having a lens. | 03-11-2010 |
20100061000 | LENS DRIVE DEVICE - A lens drive device may include a support body, a movable body having a lens, a magnetic drive mechanism for magnetically driving the movable body in a lens optical axis direction, and a spring member connected between the support body and the movable body. The magnetic drive mechanism includes a coil held by the movable body and both end parts of the coil are electrically connected to different spring pieces of the spring member through terminals. The support body includes an insulation member which holds the terminals, and each of the terminals includes an outside connecting terminal part which is located on an outer side of the insulation member, and a long elongated connecting part which is extended along an inner wall of the insulation member from the outside connecting terminal part and connected with the spring piece of the spring member. | 03-11-2010 |
20100271717 | LENS DRIVING DEVICE - A lens driving device for use with a lens to photograph or image an object to be photographed or imaged may include a moving member holding the lens and made movable in the direction of an optical axis, and a supporting member for supporting the moving member through a spring member, wherein the lens is displaced and driven in the optical axis direction thereby to focus the image of the object. The supporting member may include a yoke having a cover portion having an entrance window for introducing the reflected light from the object into the lens, and a case portion for covering the outer circumference of the moving member. The cover portion and the case portion are formed integrally with each other. | 10-28-2010 |
