Lens protection device with sliding covers for opening and closing
A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US11906730B2) discloses a lens protection device designed to shield the lens of a device. The device comprises a housing with an opening and connecting portions, along with two sliding covers - one with a first magnet at the front end and the other with a second magnet at the rear end. These covers can be moved in opposite directions to either shield or expose the lens. The second cover plate is magnetic and is attracted to the first magnet and the second magnet. The design includes an arcuate surface housing the opening, with the cover plates also having an arcuate structure. The connecting shafts of the covers are pivotally connected to the connecting portion, allowing for smooth movement of the cover plates.
Furthermore, the lens protection device includes various limiting portions on the connecting portion to control the position of the cover plates - closed to shield the lens or opened to expose it. The device also features a force application portion on the first cover plate that stops at the periphery of the opening when in the opened position. The interaction between the magnets and the design of the cover plates allows for gravity-driven movement to ensure the covers are in the correct position. Overall, this patented lens protection device offers a unique and efficient way to protect and expose the lens of a device, providing a practical solution for lens maintenance and usage.
