Patent ID: 8744259

Claim:
A pop-up flash assembly comprising: a main body comprising an opening; a moving unit that is inserted in the opening of the main body in such a manner that the moving unit linearly moves, without rotation, in a direction in which the opening extends and is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the moving unit is received in the opening at the first position and a portion of the moving unit protrudes from the opening at the second position; a flash that is installed on the moving unit to move linearly with the moving unit, without rotation, and generates light; a first link that has an end that is rotatably coupled to the main body; a second link that has an end that is rotatably coupled to another end of the first link, and another end of the second link being rotatably coupled to the moving unit; and a driver for rotating the first link, wherein a size of the opening of the main body corresponds to a size of the moving unit such that the moving unit is restricted in the opening to move linearly, without rotation, in the direction in which the opening extends.
