In a zoom lens system having a plurality of lens units including a focusing lens unit movable during zooming and having the zooming and focusing functions, when a predetermined movement locus for zooming is expressed with the angle of rotation of a rotatable lens barrel for prescribing the amount of movement of the lens units in the direction of the optical axis thereof as a variable, the movement locus of the focusing lens unit is formed by the combination of a focus cam and a zoom compensation cam, and the movement locus of the movable non-focusing lens units which are not concerned in focusing is formed by the combination of the zoom compensation cam and a zoom cam corresponding to each non-focusing lens unit.

A zoom lens barrel has a lens unit with both functions of zooming and focusing, comprises a first cyindrical member having a zoom guide groove (or zoom cam) corresponding to a zooming orbit of displacement of the lens unit with both the functions of zooming and focusing and a second cylindrical member having a focus guide groove (or focus cam) for displacing the lens unit with the functions of zooming and focusing along an optical axis for focusing. The focus guide groove or focus cam is non-linear and has an area inclined with respect to the optical axis to permit the relative displacement of the first and second cylindrical members to each other in the optical axis direction necessary for the focusing of a given object to be held substantially constant irrespective of the status of zooming and also permit the displacement of the lens unit with both the functions of zooming and focusing for focusing to be varied according to the status of zooming.

A waterproof operation mechanism of an interchangeable lens barrel having an operation member which is rotatably set around a periphery of the interchangeable lens barrel. A button engages with the operation member such that the button penetrates the operation member and protrudes outward from the operation member. The button functions to fix the operation member at a predetermined rotation position and to release the operation member from the predetermined rotation position. The interchangeable lens barrel includes a knurled part around its periphery, the knurled part being made of an elastic material and having a protruding portion integrally formed therewith to cover the button. Further, the operation member includes a fitting groove on a periphery of the operation member to prevent the knurled part from being displaced in a direction of an optical axis of the lens barrel.

A lens barrel comprising: a first retention member that includes a first engaging portion, which engages with a guide shaft, and that retains a first optical system and a second optical system, which is different from the first optical system, to be integrally movable along the guide shaft; and a second retention member that includes a second engaging portion, which engages with the guide shaft, and that retains a third optical system, which is disposed between the first optical system and the second optical system, to be movable independently of the first and second optical systems.

A lens barrel is provided with a detecting device for detecting whether a clutch device for effecting the AF mode/MF mode changeover of a focus adjusting mechanism is changed over completely to either mode. When the detecting device detects that the changeover is not complete, as due to the supply of electric power from the camera body being cut off, the clutch device is automatically brought to the change-over position of a selected mode in response to the next supply of electric power.

A clamping device for camera accessories includes a cylindrical adaptor member defining a lens hood. The inner periphery of the adaptor member is formed with an annular collar member which has an internal diameter smaller than the external diameter of a collar formed on the outer sleeve of a lens barrel along a V-shaped groove which is formed on the outer periphery of the outer sleeve. The collar member serves to prevent the hood from connecting with the lens barrel at an undesirable position.

A stopping device is provided for stopping at an optional predetermined position the stop of a phototaking lens which has been in the fully open position when the lens was mounted. A stop interlocking member engages with a stop lever of the phototaking lens at its fully open stop position and is movable a distance which corresponds to the moving distance of the stop lever from its fully open stop position to its minimum opened stop position. The stopping member in engagement with the stop interlocking member is operable to move the stop interlocking member, and means is provided to stop the stopping member when the stop interlocking member has been moved the desired distance.

A lens barrel and imaging device with a low likelihood of optical characteristics being degraded by an impact from a fall or the like may be provided. A lens barrel including: a retention member that retains an optical system; and a first guide shaft that guides the retention member to be movable along an optical axis of the optical system, wherein the retention member includes, a first engaging portion that engages with the first guide shaft, and an abutting portion disposed at the opposite side of the optical axis from the side thereof at which the first engaging portion is disposed, at a position that is offset in the optical axis direction from the engaging portion, the abutting portion being abuttable against an abutted portion when a force in the optical axis direction is applied at least to the retention member.
摘要:
In order to provide a zoom lens barrel in which the direction of rotation of a zoom ring or a focus ring during the operation thereof can be independently determined even if use is made of a cam cylinder in which the mutual relation between the movement locus of a lens for focusing and the movement locus of a lens for focal length change cannot be destroyed, provision is made of a fixed cylinder, a zoom ring operated during a focal length change, a focus ring operated during focusing, a cam mechanism for moving each of lens units in the direction of the optical axis thereof by the rotational force of the zoom ring without rotating them about the optical axis, and moving the lens units in the direction of the optical axis while rotating them about the optical axis by the rotational force of the zoom ring, an interlocking ring rotatably fitted to the fixed cylinder, and a rotatable gear for transmitting the rotational force of the focus ring while reversing the direction thereof, and the interlocking ring guides the lens units in the direction of the optical axis, while rotating them about the optical axis by the rotational force transmitted from the rotatable gear.
