  • Patent number: 9519139
    Abstract: A zoom lens barrel assembly includes a first barrel, a second barrel, a lens barrier, and a transparent member. The first barrel supports at least one lens. The second barrel surrounds at least a portion of an outer surface of the first barrel, and supports the first barrel to protrude along an optical axis direction. The lens barrier is disposed on a front side of the first barrel, and is moved in a direction that intersects an optical axis to expose the at least one lens when the first barrel is protruded. The transparent member is disposed on a front side of the lens barrier, and prevents impurities from entering the first barrel.
