摘要:
A motor drive system is provided with two drive units so that the system may be driven not only by operating one of the drive units but by simultaneously operating both of the drive units in accordance with load condition. Both of the first and second drive units are provided with a motor and a gear reduction mechanism. The output gear of the second drive unit is mounted as a planetary gear of a planetary gear mechanism on the carrier. When the current is supplied simultaneously to both the motor of the first drive unit and to the motor of the second drive unit, the output gear of the first drive unit comes into mesh with the output gear of the second drive unit, combining the output forces of the first and second drive units to drive the load driving shaft. When the use of only the first drive unit is required to drive the load, the motor of the second drive unit is rotated reversely to move the carrier of the planetary gear mechanism to a refuge position, where the output gear of the second drive unit is de-meshed from the output gear of the first drive unit.

A cartridge holder being movable between a cartridge accommcodating position where it is concealed within a camera body and a projecting position where it is exposed outside the camera body has a lower supporting member at its bottom for driving a film spool in a film cartridge inserted through an opening into the cartridge holder by engaging a lower end of the film spool, and an upper supporting member for engaging an upper end of the film spool. The upper supporting member is moved between its retracted position where it is retracted from the opening of the cartridge holder and its engaged position where it engages the film spool, its movement interconnecting with the movement of the cartridge holder between its cartridge accommodating and projecting positions.

An electromagnetic actuator suitable for use in combination with the mechanisms of cameras and the like. The electromagnetic actuator has a single electromagnet, and first and second armatures disposed opposite to the opposite attracting surfaces of the electromagnet, respectively. The first armature actuates a first operating lever for operating the shutter release mechanism of a camera, and the second armature actuates a second operating lever for operating the diaphragm of the camera. The first armature is separated from the attracting surface and the second armature is in contact with the attracting surface while the electromagnet is not energized. When the electromagnet is energized, the first armature is attracted to the attracting surface to actuate the first operating lever for releasing the shutter. When the electromagnet is de-energized, the second armature is separated from the attracting surface to allow the second operating lever which has been detained by the second armature to be turned for controlling the diaphragm. A control circuit decreases the current energizing the electromagnet after the first and second armatures have been attracted to the corresponding attracting surfaces to save power.
摘要:
A camera in use of a film cartridge which contains a film wound around a winding shaft in a light-shielding condition, wherein an output of a motor that is disposed in a movable cartridge chamber drives the cartridge chamber to open and close, driven members that are arranged in a camera body, and driven members that are arranged in the cartridge chamber. Therefore, there is no need to arrange a complicated transmitting mechanism which transmits a driving force from a motor in the camera body, which makes it possible to simplify a driving force transmitting mechanism.

An image deviation correcting device and an optical apparatus having such a device. The device includes: a driven part to be driven so as to correct an image deviation; a holder for holding the driven part; a first linkage arranged perpendicular to the optical axis of the driven part, the first linkage having four arms connected in a parallelogram, one of the arms being secured to the holder; a middle part secured to opposite arm thereof; a second linkage overlapped with the first linkage in parallel relation thereto, the second linkage having four arms connected in a parallelogram, one of the arms being secured to the middle part; and a base part secured to opposite arm thereof. The one of the arms of the first linkage is generally perpendicular to the one of the arms of the second linkage.
摘要:
A driving mechanism for holding and shifting a part to be driven. The mechanism has at least three carrying elements for carrying the part elastically by exerting force upon the part in directions generally perpendicular to an axis of the part, at least one of the carrying elements being of a actuating type including a frictional actuator, the frictional actuator having a contact face for contacting the part under the pressure, the contact face oscillating at high frequency so as to make the part move in a direction almost rectangular to that of exerting the force upon the part.
摘要:
In a small camera having multiple functions, a large internal component such as a battery is designed so as to protrude above the top cover flat surface of the camera and the protruding part is covered by an operational cover component such a dial for controlling exposure or other functions of the camera. By having this large internal component located at least partially inside the take-up spool, for example, the height of the camera grip is reduced and the camera as a whole is made smaller.
摘要:
A structure for transmitting a driving force from a camera body side to a cartridge chamber cover side in order to automatically operate a safety mechanism section of a safety locking mechanism installed inside the cover. The safety locking mechanism includes a locking mechanism section for locking the cover relative to the camera body; an unlocking operation member for manually releasing the locking mechanism section; and a safety mechanism section for selectively prohibiting or permitting the operation of the unlocking operation member. The driving force for automatically operating the safety mechanism section is transmitted from the camera body to the safety mechanism section through a winding spool of a film cartridge loaded inside the camera body.
