A zoom lens includes a variable aperture-stop mechanism positioned in front or behind an aperture-control lens group; a first rotation imparting member, which rotates an opening/closing ring of the variable aperture-stop mechanism by a relative movement between the variable aperture-stop mechanism and the first rotation imparting member in the optical axis direction so as to hold an adjustable aperture of the variable aperture-stop mechanism at a small aperture size when the aperture-control lens group moves within in the zooming range; and a second rotation imparting member, which rotates the opening/closing ring by a relative movement between the variable aperture-stop mechanism and the second rotation imparting member to open and hold the adjustable aperture at a large aperture size when the aperture-control lens group moves to the accommodated position, at which the aperture-control lens group is partly positioned in the adjustable aperture held at the large aperture size.

A miniature camera module comprising: a module frame comprising a surface with a conduit passing through the surface, thereby allowing light to pass through the surface via the conduit; a first blade coupled to the module frame and configured to rotate about a first axis between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first blade does not eclipse the conduit at all when in the open position and the first blade at least partially eclipses the conduit when in the closed position; a first solenoid coupled to the module frame; and a first pin coupled to the first solenoid, wherein an actuation of the first solenoid causes the first pin to rotate the first blade from the open position to the closed position. In some embodiments, the module includes additional blades, solenoids and pins.

The present invention provides a shutter apparatus and a drive method for the same, the shutter apparatus having functions of both a shutter apparatus for an image interception and a shutter apparatus for an aperture adjustment and being space-saving and low in costs. Within an illumination casing are provided first and second shading plates 212 and 215, first and second cammed gear 224 and 227 having a cam groove 225 and 228 respectively for driving the first shading plate 212 and the second shading plate 215 respectively. A cam shape is structured such that the rotation of a DC motor 235 (one drive source) enables the first and second shading plates 212 and 215 to drive independently. Thus, arbitrarily operating the functions of both the shutter apparatus for the image interception and the shutter apparatus for the aperture adjustment by the DC motor 235 (one shared drive source) is possible.

A light controller includes a substrate that has an optical path opening; at least a pair of blades that is reciprocally supported on the substrate and opens and closes the optical path opening; and a driver unit that drives the opening and closing of the pair of blades. The pair of blades is displaced movably on the substrate between an open position where the optical path opening is opened and a closed position where the optical path opening is closed by overlapping with each other. The driver unit and the pair of blades are connected for driving by a transmission unit, and the transmission unit transmits drive power such that one of the pair of blades can be moved at a higher speed than the other blade within a predetermined travel range between the open position and closed position.

The present invention includes a servo-shutter mechanism comprising a servo-motor and a first gear rotatably attached to the servo-motor. The gear has teeth. The invention also includes a second gear having a first end and a second end. The first end has teeth in meshing contact with the teeth of the first gear and the second end is adapted to be joined to a cam ring. The cam ring has an aperture and a plurality of pivot pins where one of the pivot pins is joined to the second end of the second gear. Additionally, the invention includes at least one shutter blade having a first end and a second end where the first end is adapted to be pivotably joined to the cam ring and the second end is adapted to block the aperture.

In a camera shutter apparatus, a shutter blade is arranged movably In an open direction and a close direction relative to a lens aperture for opening and closing the lens aperture from a home position to perform an exposure operation. A setting member is provided to operate when setting the lens aperture at a predetermined diameter for holding the shutter blade to a stop position corresponding to the predetermined diameter with a biasing force. A drive source is provided for generating a driving force necessary for moving the shutter blade. A controller is provided to operate when moving the shutter blade from the home position to the stop position so as to set the lens aperture and then moving the shutter blade in the close direction for an exposure operation. The controller controls the drive source to regulate a magnitude of the driving force sufficient for activating the shutter blade from the home position and smaller than the biasing force of the setting member to hold the shutter blade at the stop position in abutment against the setting member.
摘要:
A camera with lens barrier apparatus in which the lens barrier apparatus is driven by a motor that is also used to drive another mechanical element in the camera. The motor is switched between the lens barrier apparatus and the mechanical element by the movement of a lens barrel. In this arrangement, the driving of the lens barrier apparatus and the mechanical element are controlled in accordance with the output of a single sensor, for example an encoder.The driving of the lens barrier apparatus is controlled such that the barrier will not close unless the lens barrel is at the housed position and such that if the lens barrier does not open, the lens barrel will not move. The driving is further controlled such that if the lens barrier apparatus does not move to its intended state, the drive is reversed prior to again attempting to drive to the intended state.The lens barrier apparatus is mechanically arranged such that barrier blades are nonresiliently driven during a portion of the closing or opening operation and are resiliently driven during the remainder of the closing or opening operation.
