  • Patent number: 8495770
    Abstract: In a nozzle device a spray hole for spraying washing water and a pipe forming a first flow path that introduces the washing water to the spray hole is provided. Further, the spray hole is provided in a cover that surrounds the pipe. The cover is integrally formed of a cylindrical metal whose front end is closed. A space between an outer surface of the pipe and an inner peripheral surface of the cover member forming a second flow path that introduces the washing water to the spray hole. Further, the second flow path surrounds surface of the pipe in a circumferential direction of the cover member.

  • Patent number: 8064150
    Abstract: A collapsible lens barrel is provided, including a mechanism capable of reliably inhibiting rotation of a rotational barrel even if any impact is applied thereto, for example, due to a fall with the barrel being extended. When the rotational barrel is pressed upon a fixed member due to impact in defiance of the biasing force of a wave spring, a first engagement portion provided at a camera body-side end of the rotational barrel engages with second engagement portions provided on a subject-side surface of the fixed member, which locks rotation of the rotational barrel, thereby making it possible to prevent gears from being damaged, for example.

  • Publication number: 20060207006
    Abstract: Since the inner diameter of a flow-contracting portion continuously decreases toward a cylindrical swirl chamber, the velocity of flow of washing water flowing in the flow-contracting portion continuously rises. Since the inner diameter of the flow-contracting portion continuously decreases toward a spray hole, the velocity of flow of the washing water flowing in the flow-contracting portion continuously rises. Washing water supplied to one of flow paths in a two-flow path pipe is supplied to a flow path merger through a one-flow path pipe. The washing water supplied to the other flow path in the two-flow path pipe is supplied to the flow path merger after passing through a space between the one-flow path pipe and a nozzle cover.
