  • Patent number: 10209478
    Abstract: A filter unit that is used by being detachably mounted on a lens barrel constituting an imaging device is configured so as to include a discoidal filter body, an annular filter frame that receives the filter body, an adhesion film that is formed between the filter frame and the filter body and that is formed of an elastic adhesion, and a decorative annular frame received at a portion that is inside the filter frame and that is, when mounted on the lens barrel, on the imaging object side with respect to the filter body. The filter body and the filter frame are in noncontact with each other by forming the adhesion film between the filter frame and the filter body, and by disposing the decorative annular frame, the adhesion film is hidden under the appearance of the filter unit when the filter unit is mounted on the lens barrel.

  • Patent number: 8817375
    Abstract: A voice coil motor for moving a correction lens including a magnet unit having a pair of yokes and at least one permanent magnet for defining a magnetic gap, and a coil disposed in the magnetic gap. The permanent magnet having different magnetic poles adjacent to each other along the movement direction on a surface opposing the magnetic gap; the width of the permanent magnet in the movement direction being two times the width Wm of the magnetic poles; the width Wa of the coil in the movement direction being smaller than the width 2Wm of the permanent magnet; and the effective conductor width Wb of the coil, the magnetic pole width Wm of the permanent magnet and the longest movement distance St of the correction lens meeting the conditions of Wm=(Wb+St)×K, wherein K is a constant meeting 1<K?1.5.
