Abstract: A solid-state image pickup device includes a lens-holding member and a substrate. The lens-holding member holds lenses and has a peripheral-wall shape leg located on opposite side of the lens. An image pickup device is mounted on the substrate. The substrate has a device-mounting portion where the image pickup device is mounted, and has a coupling portion that extends from the device-mounting portion and is to be coupled to an external circuit. The device-mounting portion is housed in a space surrounded by the leg. An exterior circumference of the device-mounting portion is fitted into an inner face of the leg. A cutout through which the coupling portion is extracted from the space is formed in the leg.

Abstract: To achieve light blocking performance firmly by a simple constitution with no need of separately providing a special member, a photographing element is provided on a front face side of a circuit board for a camera and a light blocking member is provided on a rear face side thereof. Connection terminal portions++ are arranged to align at a peripheral portion of the board. As the light blocking member on the rear face side, a conductive pattern or a resist having light blocking performance is used and the conductive pattern is integrally formed with one of the connection terminal portions and the resist is formed at portions excluding the connection terminal portions. The conductive pattern may be formed by copper paste and the resist may be formed by a resist of black color or the like.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide an economical printer which is simple in structure and uses a common tray but is capable of adapting itself to various recording media of different shapes. Adapters in which recording media can be firmly held can be selectively mounted in the tray. An adapter 24 has an oval opening 24a in which a recording medium 30 can be placed. The contour of the adapter 24 can fit into a recessed portion 23a formed in the tray 23. The recording medium 30 is firmly held in the adapter 24. When the adapter 24 is mounted in the recessed portion 23a in the tray 23, a keyway 23b and a protrusion 24b engaging the keyway 23b prevent the adapter 24 from shifting out of position; the adapter is held in the tray 23. Prints can be made in accurate positions on the recording medium 30.

Abstract: A camera comprises a film cartridge chamber for accommodating a film cartridge containing a film. The film cartridge has a first rotational shaft. An operating member is mounted for rotation in first and second opposite directions by manual operation for winding and rewinding the film, respectively. A second rotational shaft is provided for connection to the operating member during rotation of the operating member in the first direction. A wheel train transmits rotational movement of the operating member to the first rotational shaft to wind and rewind the film. A first clutch mechanism disconnects transmission of rotational movement by the wheel train when a tensional state of the film is generated.

A rotational winding member is mounted for connection to and disconnection from the operating member. A control member is mounted for movement between first and second positions for controlling the rotating direction of the operating member. When the control member is disposed in the first position, the operating member can be rotated only in the first direction and the rotational winding member is connected to the operating member for rotation therewith to wind the film. When the control member is disposed in the second position, the operating member can be rotated only in the second direction to rewind the film while the rotational winding member is disconnected from and does not rotate with the operating member.
