Abstract

A pressing mechanism is adapted for use in an image shake suppressing optical device that includes a driving unit and an image capturing unit. The pressing mechanism is adapted to be disposed between the driving unit and the image capturing unit, and includes an arm body and a press head unit. The arm body has a driven end that is adapted to be connected to the driving unit, and a connecting end that is opposite to the driven end. The press head unit is adapted to be disposed between the connecting end of the arm body and the image capturing unit, and is adapted for providing a resilient pressing force on the image capturing unit when the driven end of the arm body is driven by the driving unit to move the connecting end in a pressing direction.

Claims (6)

1. A pressing mechanism adapted for use in an image shake suppressing optical device that includes a driving unit and an image capturing unit, said pressing mechanism being adapted to be disposed between the driving unit and the image capturing unit and comprising:

an arm body having a driven end that is adapted to be connected to the driving unit of the image shake suppressing optical device, and a connecting end that is opposite to said driven end; and

a press head unit adapted to be disposed between said connecting end of said arm body and the image capturing unit of the image shake suppressing optical device and adapted for providing a resilient pressing force on the image capturing unit when said driven end of said arm body is driven by the driving unit to move said connecting end in a pressing direction;

wherein said press head unit includes

a mounting seat mounted on said connecting end of said arm body, and

a press head made of a resilient material less rigid than said mounting seat, mounted to said mounting seat, and adapted for applying the resilient pressing force on the image capturing unit.
