Camera Lens Suspensions
First Claim
1. A suspension assembly comprising:
- a support structure including one or more support wire attach structures;
a moving structure including one or more moving wire attach structures;
one or more flexure arms configured to couple the moving structure to the support structure, wherein the flexure arms are configured to enable movement of the moving structure with respect to the support structure;
one or more optical-image stabilizer shape memory alloy wires, each of the one or more optical-image stabilizer shape memory wires coupled with and extending between one of the support wire attach structures and one of the moving wire attach structures;
a lens holder movably mounted to the moving structure;
at least a first pair of auto focus shape memory alloy wire attach structures; and
one or more auto focus shape memory alloy wires, each auto focus shape memory alloy wire coupled to the lens holder and coupled to and extending between the auto focus wire attach structures of one of the at least first pair of auto focus wire attach structures configured to actuate the lens holder with respect to the moving structure.

Abstract
An assembly includes a support structure including attach structures. The suspension assembly includes a moving structure including attach structures and flexure arms configured to couple the moving structure to the support structure, the flexure arms are configured to enable movement of the moving structure with respect to the support structure. The suspension assembly includes optical-image stabilizer shape memory alloy wires, each coupled with and extending between one of the attach structures and one of the moving wire attach structures. The suspension assembly includes a lens holder mounted to the moving structure and a first pair of attach structures; and auto focus shape memory alloy wires, each wire coupled to the lens holder and coupled to and extending between attach structures of the first pair of attach structures configured to actuate the lens holder with respect to the moving structure.
