FIG. 6 , a conventional lens module includes alens socket 60 and alens component 50 mounted into thelens socket 60. Thelens component 50 defines abase 51, alens body 52 located on thebase 51. Thelens body 52 has a fool-proof projection 53 protruding outwards from a side thereof. Thelens socket 60 has aninsulating housing 61 and ametal shell 62 enclosing theinsulating housing 61. Themetal shell 62 has a plurality ofbuckling pieces 621 that rest against a top and a sidewall of thebody 51 for fastening thelens component 50 in thelens socket 60, when thelens component 50 is inserted into thelens socket 60. Such engagement structure results in difficulty to separate thelens component 50 from thelens socket 60, especially when the lens module is located in a mobile phone or other miniature electronic devices. Therefore, it is desirable to design a clutching jig which has a simple structure and is capable of easily clutching thelens component 50 out of thelens socket 60. - An object of the present invention is to provide a clutching jig with a simple structure capable of disassembling a lens module which includes a lens socket and a lens component mounted to the lens socket by a plurality of buckling pieces of the lens socket abutting a top and a side of the lens component defines a housing having a base. The base has an inserting hole at a middle portion thereof with a shape depending on the lens component. A bottom of the base protrudes outwards from a middle thereof to form a holding wall enclosing the inserting hole, with a peripheral shaped depending on the lens socket, for pressing the buckling pieces apart from the lens component. A top of the base extends upwards to form a pair of facing connecting walls which are arranged symmetrical about the inserting hole. Two clutching arms are rotatably mounted to the housing. Each of the clutching arms has a fixing plate mounted between the connecting walls. An end of a top side of the fixing plate extends upwards to form a holding bar aligned with each other and exposing the housing. An end of a bottom side of the fixing plate extends downwardly to form a clutching slice biased from the holding arm. The clutching slice is located in the holding wall and aligned with each other to define a first locating line which is perpendicular to a second locating line defined by the aligned two connecting walls, for holding the lens component when the holding bars are urged to approach each other, in disassembly.
- As described above, the lens component partly receives into the inserting hole and the holding wall pushes the bulking pieces of the lens socket away from the lens component The lens component is released by the bulking pieces. After that, the holding bars are urged to approach each other to make the clutching slice clutching the lens component. When the user pulls the clutching jig upwardly, the lens component will be released from the lens socket. So the clutching jig with a simple structure facilitates clutching the lens component out of the lens socket.

FIGS. 1-4 andFIG. 6 , aclutching jig 1 according to the present invention is shown. Theclutching jig 1 includes ahousing 10, two clutchingarms 20 rotatably mounted to thehousing 10. Thehousing 10 has arectangular base 11. Thebase 11 has aninserting hole 12 at a middle portion thereof with a shape depending on thelens component 50. An inner side of theinserting hole 12 has twonotches 13 along one diagonal line of thebase 11, facing each other, and a fool-proof recess 14 adjacent to one of thenotch 13, corresponding to the fool-proof projection 53 of thelens component 50. A bottom of thebase 11 has a portion protruding outwards to form aholding wall 15 enclosing theinserting hole 12, with a periphery formed to show a rectangular shape, for inserting into the lens module along an inner side of thelens socket 60 to press thebulking pieces 621 apart from thelens component 50. Theholding wall 15 has two opposite outer surfaces extended downwards to form twoinserting slices 16 which are adapted for being inserted into a gap between thelens socket 60 and thelens component 50 to press thebuckling pieces 621 against the sidewall of thebody 51. A top of thebase 11 extends upwards to form a pair of connectingwalls 17 which are arranged along the other diagonal line of thebase 11 and symmetrical about theinserting hole 12. The connectingwall 17 defines a connectinghole 18 at a middle portion thereof. - Each of the clutching
arms 20 has arectangular fixing plate 21. Thefixing plate 21 is formed with afixing hole 24 in a substantial middle portion thereof. Thefixing plate 21 extends upwards to form aholding bar 22 at an end of a top side thereof, and protrudes downwards to form aclutching slice 23 at an end of a bottom side thereof and biased from theholding arm 20. In this embodiment, the thickness of thefixing plate 21 is substantially half of that of theholding bar 22, and theclutching slice 23 is substantially L-shaped. - With reference to
FIG. 5 , in assembly, The clutchingarms 20 are located between theconnecting walls 17 in an opposite way, with thefixing plates 21 plate-to-plate oppositely abutting to each other and theholding bars 22 in alignment with each other. Apivoting rob 30 is provided to pass through the connectingholes 18 and thefixing holes 24 of thefixing plates 21 for fixing the clutchingarms 20 between the connectingwalls 17. In this embodiment, there is a pair ofelastic washers 40 of ring shape which are disposed between thefixing plates 21 and the connectingwalls 17, respectively, for preventing thefixing plates 21 from moving. Theclutching slices 23 are received in thenotches 13. - Referring to
FIGS. 5-6 , when theclutching jig 1 is used to separate thelens component 50 from thelens socket 60, theclutching jig 1 is firstly adjusted and positioned by the fool-proof projection 53 inserted into the fool-proof recess 14. Thelens body 52 is received in theinserting hole 12. Theholding wall 15 pushes thebulking pieces 621 abutting the top of thebody 51 away from thelens component 50, and theinserting slices 16 are inserted between thelens socket 60 and thelens component 50 and press thebuckling pieces 621 against the sidewall of thebody 51, so that thelens component 50 is separated from thebulking pieces 621. At this time, theholding bars 22 are gripped to approach each other, to make theclutching slice 23 clutched thelens component 50, and pulled upwardly with thelens component 50. Thus thelens component 50 is released from thelens socket 60. - As describe above, the structure of the
clutching jig 1 is simple and compact. The operation process of theclutching jig 1 disengaging thelens component 50 from thelens socket 60 is easy and convenient, furthermore, without damaging the fixing structure therebetween. So theclutching jig 1 is excellent and can be used widely. - Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above; various additions, alterations and the like may be made within the scope of the present invention by a person skilled in the art. For example, respective embodiments may be appropriately combined.
