Image capture device with specialized membrane assembly
The patent US12075205B2 describes an innovative image capture device featuring a specialized membrane assembly and housing design. The device includes a housing with a pattern of apertures and a membrane assembly that consists of a support with internal and external surfaces. This support contains a channel that aligns with at least one of the apertures, allowing for the passage of sound or light while preventing water ingress. The assembly is designed with indents adjacent to the channel on the external surface, which have a depth less than that of the channel, enhancing the device's functionality. Additionally, the membrane intersects the channel to create a watertight barrier, and a cavity is formed within the channel, providing further protection against moisture.
Further claims detail the structural features of the membrane assembly, including compressibility for creating a watertight seal and the arrangement of multiple apertures symmetrically around the channel. The design also incorporates a microphone positioned within the support, aligned with the channel, to capture sound effectively. The patent outlines various configurations of the channel and indents, emphasizing their dimensions and relationships to ensure optimal performance. Overall, the claims present a comprehensive approach to enhancing the durability and functionality of image capture devices, particularly in environments where exposure to water is a concern.
