Abstract: A zoom ratio adjusting device includes a member movable between a telephoto end position and a wide-angle end position on opposite sides of a neutral position which is provided with a first and a second elastic arm, each arm being deformable while the zoom ratio adjusting member moves toward each of the telephoto end and wide-angle end positions to accumulate reactive force for returning the member to the neutral position and to hold the zoom ratio adjusting member in the neutral position.

Abstract: A camera having a sprocket with a pair of cogs formed on a periphery for engaging a filmstrip having a row of perforations separated at alternate short and long intervals. The periphery is divided by the cogs into a frictional engaging section which provides frictional engagement of the periphery with the filmstrip and a mechanical engaging section which provides mechanical engagement of the cogs with the perforations. A shutter charging mechanism is operated by rotation of the sprocket driven by the filmstrip through the mechanical engagement between the filmstrip and at least part of the mechanically engaging section of the sprocket. A switch over mechanism disconnects the sprocket and the shutter mechanism in response to rewinding the filmstrip and a locking mechanism prevents reverse rotation of the sprocket in a specific position.

Abstract: A zoom lens is comprised of a fixed barrel, an intermediate barrel coupled to the fixed barrel through helicoid screws, a movable barrel coupled to the intermediate barrel through helicoid screws, a front lens group fixedly held in the movable barrel, and a rear lens group. The position of the front lens group in the optical axis direction is always determined by the axial movement of the intermediate barrel relative to the fixed barrel and the axial movement of the movable barrel relative to the intermediate barrel. The axial position of the rear lens group is determined by the axial movement of the intermediate barrel relative to the fixed barrel and a cam surface formed in an inner periphery of the intermediate barrel. As the axial position of the cam surface within the intermediate barrel changes with the rotational position of the intermediate barrel, the rear lens group moves in the axial direction relative to the intermediate barrel during zooming.

Abstract: A photographic camera having an exposure frame at the rear end of a lens barrel. A camera body is molded integrally with the lens barrel. Flanks are formed by a pair of vertical surfaces lying in planes parallel to the optical axis on inner surfaces of the frame receiving surface at locations that define four corners of an exposure aperture so as to extend radially outward from the inner surface of the lens barrel adjacent the rear end thereof. An aperture frame is detachably mounted on the camera body from behind the camera to define the exposure aperture. The flanks formed adjacent the rear end of the lens barrel or the frame receiving surface are effective to prevent individual frames of film from being subjected to undesirable vignetting. The aperture frame is mounted on the camera body from behind. A pair of masking plates is provided for panoramic photography.

Abstract: A camera with a variable focus lens device, in which a lens position detecting device detects the focal length of the photographing lens from the amount of movement of a movable member that is capable of being rectilinearly advanced and retracted along the optical axis of the photographing lens, in order to provide an autofocusing function to accurately focus upon an object. Thus, the focal length can be detected in a simplified manner, and the influence of errors during assembly of the components of a photographing lens driving system can be minimized. A flare preventing mask effectively prevents flare occurrence in correspondence to variations in the position of the photographing lens. The lens retaining structure simplifies the assembly of the front lens group into a movable lens mount, and reduces the size and weight of the camera.

Abstract: A zoom lens assembly has a stationary barrel, a middle barrel and a movable barrel. The middle barrel is formed on its outer periphery at a rear end thereof with a helicoidal thread, which engages with a helicoidal thread formed on the inner surface of the stationary barrel. The movable barrel holds a zoom lens system therein, and is formed on its outer periphery at a rear end portion with a helicoidal thread which engages with a helicoidal thread formed in the inner surface of the middle barrel. The middle barrel is provided at its rear end portion with a driven gear having a small face width. The driven gear meshes with a drive gear through a cut-out of the stationary barrel. Rotational movement of a zoom motor is transmitted to the driven gear of the middle barrel through the drive gear, so that the middle barrel is rotated to move in the direction of the optical axis of the assembly.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for a zoom lens system consisting of first and second lens groups has a movable lens barrel fixedly holding the first lens and cam structure consisting of a cam member provided on the second lens group and a cam follower member on the movable lens barrel. The movable lens barrel moves forward or rearward to shift the second lens group forward or rearward relative to the first lens group along the optical axis of the zoom lens system via the cam member so as to continuously change the focal length of the zoom lens system. The cam member is mounted on the movable lens barrel to change the curve of the cam surface relative to the cam follower member only in a middle focal length range.
