Abstract: A hidden viewfinder for camera includes a camera body having a pair of spaced channel slots, a plurality of lens frames each having a bottom end pivotally hinged on the camera body between the channel slots and a reversed U-shaped tunnel type outer frame having a top wall and two side walls engageable with the channel slots. There is a torsional spring engaged with the bottom end of each lens frame. When the outer frame is pressed down and held in the channel slots, the top wall will press the lens frames to turn about the bottom ends for the lens frames laying horizontally on the camera body to form a compact size camera. When in use, the outer frame is raised above the camera body, the torsional springs will raise the lens frames upright to form the viewfinder in the outer frame. Circuit boards and control elements may be placed in the camera body between the channel slots for the camera because compact size but rich in function.

Abstract: A lens-aperture control mechanism is provided for use in a lens unit to control the aperture of the lens unit. The lens-aperture control mechanism includes a plurality of blades, each being movable radially inward into the lens barrel and outward from the lens barrel; a rotatable ring coupled to the blades, capable of urging the blades to move radially inward into the lens barrel when being turned in a first direction and outward from the lens barrel when being turned in a second direction; and a power driver for driving the rotatable ring to turn in a specified direction by a specified angular displacement so as to move the blades to a specific radial position to define a specific aperture for the lens unit. The inner end of each of the blades is formed in a concave shape or a curved haft-cutaway portion. When combined, the inner ends of the blades can define a near-circular aperture for the lens unit. This lens-aperture control mechanism can variably control the lens aperture to the desired value and can provide a near-circular aperture for the lens. Moreover, the lens-aperture control mechanism, being simple in mechanical construction, is easy to assemble and thus low in manufacture cost.

Abstract: An opto-mechanical apparatus for moving and scanning in an optical system comprises a step motor, a timing belt, a first lead screw carrying a first optical assembly, and a second lead screw carrying a second optical assembly. Each of the lead screws has a spiral thread forming a lead path. The lead path of the second lead screw is twice as long as the lead path of the first lead screw. Each lead screw has a gear fastened to its one end. The timing belt connects the rotation axis of the step motor and the two gears on the lead screws. When the step motor rotates, the two gears are driven by the timing belt. The two lead screws are also rotated by the gears. The first optical assembly moves twice as fast as the second optical assembly because the two gears have identical radii but the second lead path is twice long. The different distances traveled by the two optical assemblies ensure that the optical system has a constant optical resolution while scanning.
