Abstract: A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional wood product including a curved face includes: softening a blank formed of a bowl-shaped wood; compressing the blank, the compressing being deforming the softened blank into a bowl shape different from that before the softening, by applying a compressive force to the blank; fixing the shape of the deformed blank by applying the compressive force; drying the fixed blank; and heat-shaping the blank, the heat-shaping being shaping the dried blank into a shape similar to the shape of the blank while heating the blank in the ambient air. The blank after the drying and before the heat-shaping has an inner face of the bowl shape, the inner face having a shape closer to a final shape to be achieved after the heat-shaping than a shape of an outer face of the bowl shape, and a surface area of the outer face is larger than that of an outer face of the final shape.

The conversion optical system (4) is constituted by front side lens systems (4a, 4b) and a rear side lens system (4c). The conversion optical system (4) forms an intermediate image between the attachment/detachment portion (2) and imaging element (3). A shutter (5) is provided near the intermediate image.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a compressed wood product that is obtained by compressing and forming a wooden piece, includes applying a compressive force to a blank piece that is cut out from raw wood and has a predetermined shape while sandwiching the blank piece between a pair of metal molds; and dividing the compressed blank piece into a plurality of portions by cutting. A compression rate, at the compressing, of an area of the blank piece corresponding to a boundary of the portions divided at the dividing is higher than compression rates, at the compressing, of other areas of the blank piece. A width of the boundary is larger than a cut width that is obtained when the blank piece is cut at the dividing.

Abstract: In a camera system of this invention, a light beam coming from a photographing lens is reflected by a quick return mirror in the widthwise direction of a body unit, and is reflected by a second mirror via a half mirror and screen in the upward direction of the body unit except for some light beam components. The light beam reflected by the second mirror is reflected by a third mirror in a direction opposite to that of the light beam reflected by the quick return mirror, and is also reflected by a fourth mirror toward an eyepiece side in the back side of the body unit. Some light beam components reflected by the half mirror are fetched by an AF sensor unit to detect the focal point position of the photographing lens.

Abstract: A camera is provided which includes a camera main body, a first cover covering one side of the camera main body, a second cover covering the other side of the camera main body, an appearance surface formed on an exterior of the camera main body and positioned between the first and second covers when the camera main body is held between the first and second covers to produce an appearance of the camera, and an operation member arranged on the appearance surface.

Abstract: A camera is provided which has a back cover for opening and closing an aperture, a spool chamber and a cassette chamber. A battery chamber for housing a battery is disposed on a supporting shaft side of the back cover, and the aforementioned battery chamber is present obliquely behind the cassette chamber inside the camera when the back cover is in a closed state. A part of the battery chamber protrudes from the back face of the back cover. Therefore, the exterior shape of the camera can be miniaturized and downsized without hindering loading of a film cassette. Further, since the battery chamber portion protruding from the back cover can be made to function as a grip portion of the camera, a camera superior in portability and favorable in holdability is provided.

Abstract: In a camera to which the present invention is applied, a camera body having a pop-up ST unit attached thereto is sandwiched between front and back covers. A plugged rubber arranged inside the back cover is pressed by a front cover rib provided on the front cover in the state in which the front and back covers are joined to each other, whereby the front and back covers are kept liquid-tight to each other. Moreover, an ST rubber arranged on the periphery of the ST body is pressed by the front cover rib in the state in which the ST body is sandwiched between the front and back covers, whereby the front cover, the back cover, and the ST body are kept liquid-tight to one another. Simultaneously, the ST rubber is pressed by a cover rib provided on the back cover, whereby the back cover and the ST body are kept liquid-tight to each other. Thus, the water-proofing function can be secured among the three members, that is, the front cover, the back cover, and the ST body.

Abstract: A flood light includes a lamp that is located at a focus of a reflecting mirror having a reflecting surface whose cross-section is oval and partially arcuate. A concave lens having negative refracting power is disposed between first and second foci about which an elliptical reflecting surface of the reflecting mirror is disposed. Some light rays from the lamp pass directly from the lamp through the lens while other rays from the lamp are reflected by the mirror before passing through the lens. Generally speaking, on the upstream side of the lens, the reflected rays enter the lens outboard of the rays that pass directly from the lamp to the lens. This construction provides a small flood light that has a high optical output, and effectively uses bundles of rays emitted from the lamp to produce a luminous intensity distribution desirable as light for range finding.
