Abstract
An electronic device includes a container, a camera, a sheet, and a shutter support. The camera is accommodated in the container and includes a lens on which light is to be incident from an outside of the container. The sheet covers the camera from a light incident side of the lens and allows the light to be incident on the lens. The shutter support is included in the container, and supports a shutter while attached to the container such that the shutter is slidable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position the shutter is located between the camera and the sheet to cover the light incident side of the lens and shield the lens from the light. In the open position the shutter exposes the lens.
Claims11
An electronic device comprising:
- a container;
- a camera comprising a lens on which light is to be incident from an outside of the container, the camera accommodated in the container;
- a sheet that covers the camera from a light incident side of the lens and allows the light to be incident on the lens;
- and
- a shutter support included in the container, the shutter support that supports a shutter while attached to the container such that the shutter is slidable between a closed position and an open position, the closed position in which the shutter is located between the camera and the sheet to cover the light incident side of the lens and shield the lens from the light, the open position in which the shutter exposes the lens.
A shutter for use in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising an container, a camera accommodated in the container and comprising a lens on which light is to be incident from an outside of the container, a sheet that covers the camera from a light incident side of the lens, and allows the light to be incident on the lens, and a shutter support included in the container, the shutter comprising:
- a base of a strip plate form having a thickness along an optical axis of the camera and a length in a direction intersecting with the optical axis,
- a pair of first protrusions located on one side of a central part of the base in the intersecting direction, and extending away from each other from the base along a short side of the base to contact with the shutter support, and
- a pair of second protrusions located on the other side of the central part in the intersecting direction, and extending away from each other from the base along the short side of the base to contact with the shutter support, wherein
- the base is supported by the shutter support through the pair of first protrusions and the pair of second protrusions such that the base is slidable between a closed position and an open position in the intersecting direction, the closed position in which the base is located between the camera and the sheet to cover the lens from the light incident side and shield the lens from the light, the open position in which the base exposes the lens.
