Abstract:
An actuator mechanism is provided for disposing a plurality of filters into and out of a camera line-of-sight. The mechanism includes a base, a pair of frames, an axial shaft, a plurality of filter housings and a plurality of pivotable drivers. The base includes an auxiliary platform. The frames flank the base, and the shaft is disposed between the frames. Each filter housing holds a corresponding optical filter and is disposable in a deployment position in the line-of-sight and a withdrawn position out of the line-of-sight. The drivers are disposed on the platform. Each driver corresponds to an associated housing and is rotatable along the shaft to swing at least one housing between deployment and withdrawn positions upon command.
