  • Patent number: 10345573
    Abstract: Lens barrel includes: a rotating barrel which holds a first optical system and includes an adjustment member that can protrude from an inner circumferential surface; and a fixed barrel which holds a second optical system and includes a helical groove with which the adjustment member engages on an outer circumferential surface. The adjustment member can be located in a first or a second position with respect to the helical groove. Part of the adjustment member is in the helical groove in any of the first position and the second position. When in the first position, the adjustment member can slide along the helical groove, so the rotating barrel helically rotates relative to the fixed barrel, and when in the second position, the adjustment member is in contact with the helical groove, to prevent rotation of the rotating barrel with respect to the fixed barrel.
