Abstract: A gear box includes a casing, a gear that is accommodated in the casing and transmits the power of a motor, an output gear that is connected to the gear in the casing, and a collar that is externally inserted to the output shaft of the output gear and is rotatable relative to both the output shaft and the casing.

Abstract: In a wheel train mechanism, a first speed reduction gear, a second speed reduction gear, a third speed reduction gear, a fourth speed reduction gear and an output gear are all made of a resin material. The third speed reduction gear and the fourth speed reduction gear are disposed at a rear stage of the second speed reduction gear and made of a material having rigidity higher than that of the first speed reduction gear and the second speed reduction gear. The output gear is disposed at a rear stage of the fourth speed reduction gear and is made of a material having rigidity higher than that of the fourth speed reduction gear.

Abstract: A gear box includes a casing having a partition portion, a supporting shaft fixed to the partition portion, and an output shaft supported so as to be rotatable around the supporting shaft and to which a pinion gear is fixed. The casing has a division wall that is positioned in the ?Z direction with respect to the partition portion and is capable of abutting against the supporting shaft. The division wall constitutes a portion of a motor accommodation portion for accommodating a motor.

Abstract: To provide a blade drive device that may prevent malfunction of blades. A blade drive device includes a base plate having an opening to be opened and closed by a blade on an optical axis, and a flexible substrate having joint portions to which conductor wires of a first actuator and a second actuator that drive the blades are joined, the flexible substrate being provided between the base plate and the blades on one side of the base plate in an axis direction of the optical axis. The base plate is provided with a substrate housing part in which at least a part of the flexible substrate is housed and to which a covering material for covering the joint portions is applied. The substrate housing part is provided with wall surface extending from the other side toward the one side in the axis direction of the optical axis. The wall surface is provided with corner portions extending along a direction crossing the axis direction of the optical axis.

Abstract: To provide an actuator in which an unstable movement of a rotor is controlled.
