摘要:
A focal point adjusting and change-over mechanism for an automatic focusing camera, including a mechanism for restricting a position of the camera photographic lens in response to a distance sensing signal, and a change-over mechanism manually operable to at least two positions including an automatic position and a manual position. The restricting mechanism is operative to provide automatic focusing of the lens when the change-over mechanism is set at a position for automatic operation, and the change-over mechanism renders the distance sensing signal or the restricting mechanism inoperative when set at the position for manual operation, and thereby manual focusing is carried out in accordance with the manually set position of the change-over mechanism in the manual position.

An automatic focusing apparatus for use in a camera has an operating member which moves from a rest position to a depressed position. An actuating member is rotatably mounted on the operating member and a detecting member is mounted for movement from a first position to a second position and is biased normally into the first position. The actuating member enables the detecting member to move from the first to the second position in response to the movement of the operating member from the rest position to the depressed position and disengages from the detecting member when the operating member is in the depressed position to enable the detecting member to move from the second position to the first position under the action of its bias. A device produces an electric signal corresponding to the position of the detecting member and a focus scanning member is movable over its entire focus scanning range in response to the movement of the detecting member between its first and second positions. An electro-magnet is provided for stopping the movement of the detecting member during its movement from the second to the first position when the electro-magnet is actuated. A focus detecting module receives a signal from the device synchronously with the movement of the focus scanning member during the movement of the detecting member to the second position to determine the signal from the device corresponding to the in-focus position and for actuating the electro-magnet to stop the return movement of the detecting member to its first position when the signal from the device is equal to that determined for the in-focus position. In this way, the camera lens can be focused with reduced error.

A camera shutter has a control member movable when the shutter is released for successively actuating an opening member and a closing member to effect the taking of an exposure. A delay mechanism coacts with the control member to effect the selective setting of a range of exposure times including a minimum exposure time by which the control member actuates the opening and closing members without interaction of the delay mechanism, a next to the minimum exposure time by which the control member engages with the delay mechanism prior to actuating the opening and closing members, and one or more longer exposure times by which the control member actuates the opening member and then engages with the delay mechanism prior to actuating the closing member. The engagement of the control member and delay mechanism prior to actuation of the opening and closing members, in the next to the minimum exposure time mode, compensates for unstable motion of the control member at the initial stage of movement thereof under control of the delay mechanism thereby ensuring exposure accuracy.

A camera shutter has a set of opening blades and a set of closing blades sequentially driven from cocked positions to released positions to effect an exposure. During cocking of the shutter, the opening and closing blades are driven to their cocked positions by opening and closing mechanisms which include springs for permitting continued movement of the opening and closing mechanisms in the cocking direction after the opening and closing blades are driven to their cocked positions. Upon completion of the movement of the opening and closing blades to their cocked positions, the springs undergo further compression thereby permitting continued cocking movement of the opening and closing mechanisms independent of the opening and closing blades.
摘要:
An exposure control device for the shutter of a camera wherein an opening member opens the aperture of the shutter to start exposure, a closing member closes the aperture to complete exposure, an opening hook and a closing hook retain at a charged position the opening member and the closing member, respectively. A control member is released by shutter release operation to control the exposure time by shutter release operation to control the exposure time and to successively release said opening member and said closing member. A governor delays the motion of said control member in proportion to desired exposure times. An interlocking lever is adjustable to a first range where it is actuated by the movement of the control member to push the closing hook and to a second range where it is actuated by the movement of the opening member to push the closing hook. An adjusting lever supports the interlocking lever operable within the first and second ranges. A cam member changesover the adjusting lever in proportion to the desired exposure time.
摘要:
A camera shutter mechanism including a shutter opening member mounted for pivoting about a first axis between a closed position corresponding to a closed shutter and an open position corresponding to an open shutter, and a shutter closing member mounted for pivoting about a second axis between an open position corresponding to an open shutter and a closed position corresponding to a closed shutter. A movable driving member includes a coupling mechanism for releasably coupling the driving member to the shutter opening member to permit moving the shutter opening member by moving the driving member, and for releasing the shutter opening member from the driving member when the shutter opening member is moved from the open to the closed position. A first spring biases the driving member to move the shutter opening member from the closed to the opened position to initiate exposure, and a second spring biases the shutter closing member to move from the opened to the closed position to terminate exposure. A drive transmission lever mounted on the driving member is positioned for responding to movement of the shutter closing member to the closed position for returning the shutter opening member to the closed position.

A clutch of the single-plate dry-disc type is structured to include annular friction facings secured to opposite surfaces of a supporting plate of a clutch plate and a plurality of recesses or shallow grooves are defined in the surface of one of the annular friction facings. The shallow grooves extend from the inner periphery of the one annular friction facing and terminate short of the outer periphery thereof.Accelerated air streams are introduced from the exterior through the fly wheel into the plurality of grooves so as to aid in separation of the friction facing of the clutch plate from the engaging surface of a fly wheel as a result of a hydrodynamic force created by the air streams. Furthermore, slots are defined in the surface of the friction facing in addition to the grooves so as to provide discharge passages for powder which has been produced due to wear or attrition of the friction facings.

In a single lens reflex camera, the shutter base plate is provided with a recess in which the reflecting mirror is mounted. This permits the mirror to be closer to the film plane and hence permits the imaging plane, prism and viewing lens of the view finder to be closer to the optical axis of the camera lens, thus reducing the overall size of the camera.
摘要:
An electrically operated shutter in which an exposure aperture is opened by actuation of a shutter blade opening member and closed by actuation of a shutter blade closing member and exposure time is controlled in accordance with the duration of excitation of an electromagnet. The shutter is comprised of a disengaging member for causing said shutter blade closing member to actuate upon being attracted to the electromagnet during excitation thereof, and an engaging member for causing the shutter blade opening member to actuate upon being actuated by the movement of a control member if the shutter is released. When the electromagnet is not normally energized, the disengaging member is engaged by a cam portion of the engaging member on the initial operating period of shutter release and disengaged upon lapse of a preselected time from the shutter opening operation.
