A disk drive includes a chassis having a spindle motor for rotating a disk and a read/write head for reading or writing data on the disk, a slide block disposed at one side of the chassis and slidable reciprocally along an entrance-and-exit route defined by the disk, and a support member mounted on the slide member so as to be movable together therewith. The support member supports the disk from below during inserting the disk into the disk drive.

Slot-in type disk drive

A switching mechanism for a video camera includes: a control unit; a driving device connected with and controlled by the control unit; a first belt pulley connected with the driving device; a second belt pulley smaller than the first belt pulley in diameter; a belt looped around the first and second belt pulleys for power transmission, and including a first protuberance; a translation member provided with a second protuberance so that through a loose fitting connection between the two protuberances, the translation member is driven to move; and a positioning element having a positioning plane, at least two inclines, and at least two top surfaces, wherein the positioning plane and the at least two inclines are designed to contact the second protuberance of the translation member alternately so as to restrict and reposition the translation member.

Switching mechanism for video camera

A switching mechanism for a camera device includes a driving device, a first screw bar connecting to the driving device, a second screw bar connecting to the first screw bar, and a lead screw having an end coupled with the second screw bar. The first screw bar is driven by the driving device via a screw thread thereof, and the second screw bar is driven by the first screw bar via a screw thread thereof, thereby driving the lead screw for rotation. The screw nut is disposed on the lead screw and moved back and forth via the rotation of the lead screw. Two stop blocks disposed at two ends of the lead screw respectively are to limit two positions of the moved screw nut while the screw nut is moved beyond a threaded area of the lead screw, upon which time the screw nut is slightly engaged with the lead screw.

Switching mechanism for camera device

A switching mechanism for a camera includes: a control unit; a driving device coupled with and actuated by the control unit; a first gear set coupled with the driving device; a second gear coupled with the first gear set and centrally provided with a rotary shaft having a shaft hole formed with threads; a spindle being female-connected to the shaft hole and which has an axial surface formed with outer threads corresponding to the threads of the shaft hole, thus allowing the second gear to move along and relative to the spindle; and a translation member positioned perpendicular to the spindle and provided with a rack for engaging with the second gear and thus driving the translation member to move perpendicular to the spindle. The second gear drives or does not drive the rack as the engagement therebetween is made or broken.
