Abstract: An operation dial is disposed so as to swing between two barrels. The operation dial has a plurality of finger gripping portions that protrudes so as to be inclined with respect to the two barrels. The operation dial is urged by a torsion coil spring to a state in which the two finger gripping portions have the same tilt angle with respect to the two barrels. A reception member is pushed by rotation of the operation dial in one direction and rotation of the operation dial in the other direction due to a swing operation for the finger gripping portions. A switch main body is opened or closed by the pushing of the reception member.

Abstract: In a case where a first coil enters an energized state, the first coil, a second coil, a detection magnet, and a Z-axis position sensor move in an X axis direction. In a case where the second coil enters an energized state, the second coil and the detection magnet move in a Z axis direction, but the first coil and the Z-axis position sensor do not move in the Z axis direction. The Z-axis position sensor is disposed so as to be spaced from the second coil, and the detection magnet is disposed on a side opposite to a second driving magnet with respect to the Z-axis position sensor. The Z-axis position sensor detects a displacement amount V of the detection magnet in the Z axis direction.

Abstract: Barrels are attached so as to be rotated around first rotational axes. Reflective members are fixed to the barrels, and reflective members are attached so as to be rotated around second rotational axes. Rotation amounts are equal to each other in rotation of the pair of left and right barrels around the first rotational axes and rotation of the reflective members of the barrels around the second rotational axes due to a link mechanism having a first link member and a second link member. Image blurring in a yaw direction is corrected due to movement of the first link member in an X axis direction. Image blurring in a pitch direction is corrected due to movement of the second link member in a Y axis direction.

Abstract: An anti-vibration device includes first reflective members, second reflective members, barrels, a first link member, and a second link member. The barrels each hold the first reflective member and the second reflective member. The first link member connects the pair of left and right barrels with each other, and rotates the barrels. The second link member engages with the pair of left and right second reflective members, and rotates the second reflective members. In a case where the barrel is viewed in a direction parallel to a second rotational axis, at least a part of the first link member and the second link member is disposed in a triangle region on a rear side of the second reflective member.

Abstract: An electric contact device includes a flexible printed circuit board on which a conductive pattern is formed, a contact member, a base, a coil spring, a support member, and a guide. The contact member comes into direct contact with the flexible printed circuit board and is electrically connected to the conductive pattern. The base includes a hole that holds the contact member so as to allow the contact member to be displaced between a protruding position where the contact member protrudes and a retracted position. The coil spring allows the flexible printed circuit board to come into contact with the contact member when one end thereof biases the flexible printed circuit board. The support member supports the other end of the coil spring. The guide is formed by a guide groove of the base and a guide groove of the support member and guides the extension and contraction of the coil spring.
