摘要:
A shutter mechanism comprising an aperture through which ambient light is passed to cause a film exposure, a pair of shutter blades supported for pivotal opening movement in opposite opening directions away from one another to uncover the aperture to permit ambient light to pass through the aperture and for pivotal closing movement in return closing directions towards one another to re-cover the aperture and supported to allow them to be pivoted simultaneously in the same direction to cause accidental shutter opening when a physical shock is applied to the shutter blades in the opening direction of one of the shutter blades, is characterized in that each one of the shutter blades completely covers the aperture in order that both of the shutter blades must be removed from the aperture to uncover the aperture to permit ambient light to pass through the aperture, and a single fixed stop is positioned between the shutter blades to prevent either one of the shutter blades from pivoting in the same direction as the other shutter blade to uncover the aperture when one of the shutter blades is pivoted in its opening direction, whereby when one of the shutter blades is pivoted in its opening direction because a physical shock is applied to the shutter blades in that direction the fixed stop prevents the other blade from pivoting in the same direction to cause accidental shutter opening.

A shutter blades opening and closing lever is biased by a spring in a direction to open shutter blades. A pin made of a soft magnetic material is built in a motor which consists of a stator having a coil wound therearound and a magnet rotor. An operation to open the shutter blades opening and closing lever is performed by the spring, whereas another operation to close the shutter blades opening and closing lever is performed by a driving pin which is integrated with the magnet rotor. In a condition where the shutter blades are closed, the shutter blades opening and closing lever is kept at a standard position thereof, against resilience of the spring, by utilizing a magnetic attractive force exerted between the pin made of the soft magnetic material and the magnet rotor.

An aperture mechanism includes at least one blade moveable along a path between a closed position and at least one open position. At least one hard stop is moveable between a first position, out of the blade path, and a second position in the blade path to position the blade in the open position when an edge of the blade contacts the hard stop. The hard stop is located out of a plane of movement of the blade when the hard stop is in the first position to simplify and make more accurate the positioning of the blade in the open position.
摘要:
The camera shutter comprises two shutter blades which have first opening forming portions and second opening forming portions capable of alternatively forming two exposure openings different in area on an exposure aperture. These shutter blades are opened and closed by a shutter blade opening and closing lever which can be retained at a neutral position by a closing spring. The shutter blade opening and closing lever is turned by a motor which starts from the neutral position rotates in one of two directions opposite to each other. The lever is equipped with a opening spring capable of exerting a resilient force in the rotating directions of the opening and closing lever. The resilient force of the opening spring is weaker than that of the closing spring. The first opening forming portions form an exposure opening when the motor is started in a first direction and the second opening forming portions form an exposure opening when the motor is started in a second direction. Sizes of the exposure openings are adjustable by turning an adjustable eccentric stopper. This camera shutter can perform accurate and stable exposure operations though it has a simple construction and can be manufactured at a low cost.
摘要:
A program shutter for automatic exposure control including a forwardly/reversibly rotatable step motor for opening and closing a shutter to effect automatic exposure in the control circuit for controlling the operation of the step motor. The control circuit includes stored predetermined shutter mechanism characteristic values. The reversible stepping motor varies the lens aperture in response to a pulsed lens control signal generated by the control circuit. The corresponding value associated with each pulse is varied to be synchronized with and dependent on the shutter mechanism characteristic values and correspondingly varies the rotational power of the reversible stepping motor to overcome detrimental inherent shutter mechanism characteristics and to increase the response efficiency of the shutter.
摘要:
A driving unit using an electrostrictive element drives mechanical members such as, for example, a diaphragm and a shutter or a shutter blade having the function of a diaphragm blade by deformation of the electrostrictive element produced when a voltage is applied to the element, and is adapted to obtain a desired deformation quantity from the electrostrictive element regardless of the magnitude of an initial deformation quantity due to hysteresis of the element. A reference switch such as, for example, a photointerrupter operates when a predetermined reference deformation quantity is obtained in an area where the deformation quantity changes linearly in respect to variation of an applied voltage. A voltage obtained by superposing a voltage corresponding to a difference between a desired deformation quantity of the element and the reference deformation quantity on a voltage applied to the electrostrictive element when the reference switch is operated is applied to the electrostrictive element so that a desired deformation quantity is obtained regardless of the magnitude of the initial deformation quantity.
摘要:
An electromagnetic actuator operable with a source of electric current has two overlapping, oppositely movable armatures that are mounted on resiliently flexible cantilever spring members and coupled together by resiliently flexible spring elements, to provide coordinated cooperative movements of the armatures when energized. The armatures have conductive coils thereon that are connectable to the current source through the spring members and spring elements. A permanent magnet and a pair of flux return plates are disposed near the armatures to provide a suitable magnetic path through the coils. Current flowing through the coils in the magnetic path generates oppositely directed forces on the two armatures. Structure is provided for constraining the coupling spring elements to move in only one direction when such forces are generated, thereby facilitating coordination of desired armature movements in directions substantially opposite to each other and perpendicular to the one direction.

A device for controlling the operation of a camera includes a speed governing member arranged to be operated by a driving force differing from a driving force used for driving shutter blades. The opening speed of the shutter blades is stably controlled by the speed governing member. The control device retards the speed of a shutter blade opening action to enable an automatic focusing action to be performed before the photo-taking aperture actually begins to open after commencement of the shutter blade opening action.
摘要:
An exposure control device for use with a camera provided with two objective lenses having different focal lengths which are selectively used includes two exposure control elements which are disposed in front of and facing the two objective lenses, respectively, and simultaneously driven by a common drive. The light passed through the respective exposure control elements which is selected by an optical path changer is allowed to reach a film. The exposure control elements are diaphragms which allow the admission of light to the objective lenses. A pivotal arm has at least one pin at at least one end that engages in a slot in each of the diaphragms. Another end of the arm carries an armature that can be moved by at least one electromagnet and that is urged toward an intermediate position by a spring.
