Patent number: 4337996Abstract: An objective lens extension device for use with a camera having an interchangeable lens coupling includes front and rear mounts having confronting recesses which form a housing when together, the rear mount having a camera coupling and the front mount having a lens coupling similar to the camera lens coupling and complimenting and rear mount camera coupling. A bellows extends between the mounts coaxial with the mount couplings and a pair of similar longitudinally extending linearly extendable contractable link assemblies, for example of the lazy tongs type, extend between and are connected to the mounts and lie in mutually perpendicular planes. A third link assembly may be provided parallel and similar to one of the others. The link assemblies may be spring biased to a contracted condition, releasably locked in preselected conditions and transversely stressed to frictionally retard their movement.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1979Date of Patent: July 6, 1982Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshio Kuramoto, Hiroshi Ueda, Masatoshi Itoh

Patent number: 4313654Abstract: A photographic camera having an automatic rangefinder system wherein a light emitter projects a beam of light through a convergent lens to illuminate a target object. This beam of light is detected through another convergent lens by one of a group of photoresponsive elements forming a light receiver. Depending upon which photoresponsive element of the light receiver detects the reflected beam of light, the range of the target object to be photographed from the photographic camera is indicated. The light emitter and the light receiver are supported by a single support member in laterally offset relation to each other and the lens elements for converging the projected beam of light and the reflected beam of light, respectively, are integrally formed of a synthetic resin. The rangefinder elements are assembled into a rangefinder module.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 1978Date of Patent: February 2, 1982Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toru Matsui, Motonobu Matsuda, Hiroshi Ueda, Yasuhiro Nanba, Yoshio Kuramoto

Patent number: 4193676Abstract: A camera is equipped with a member bearing data to be photographed such as a date and the like and a data light focusing optical system for projecting the illuminated data from the data member at the front of the camera rearwardly with the object light toward the data photographing portion of the film. The data light focusing optical system is arranged so that the data light is directed to be incident on the data photographing portion of the film from a direction different from the incident direction of the object light. Provided in the front of the data photographing portion of the film is an object light incidence limiting member which is positioned parallel with the plane of the film and allows the transmission of the data light therethrough but interrupts the object light directed toward the data light focusing portion of the film.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1978Date of Patent: March 18, 1980Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroshi Ueda, Mitsuru Saito, Yasuhiro Nanba, Yoshio Kuramoto

Patent number: 4159170Abstract: A camera includes a forwardly facing illuminatable visual member and a first group of laterally spaced parallel vertical light absorbent vanes extending from the face of the visual member to restrict the light rays directed therefrom to a predetermined horizontal angle which is a function of the intervane spacing and the depth of the vanes. The vane parameters are such that the predetermined angle is equal to the camera field angle or the range finder viewing angle or two groups of vanes may be provided corresponding to each of the camera and view finder field angles. A second group of vertically spaced horizontal vanes may be provided to limit the visibility of the visual member to one or more vertical angles. The first and second vane groups are perpendicular to each other and either intercept each other, from rectangular frames or are superimposed.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1977Date of Patent: June 26, 1979Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshio Kuramoto, Isamu Uchida, Maki Yamashita

Patent number: 4118726Abstract: Each exchangeable lens in a series of exchangeable lenses for use in single lens reflex cameras comprises a lens barrel including at least one lens and a diaphragm, a fixed index on the outer surface of the lens barrel, a diaphragm setting ring including f-number graduations ranging from a maximum f-number to a minimum f-number of the exchangeable lens, with the ring rotatable to a plurality of positions to align any one of the f-number graduations to an index so as to be set to a desired f-number. A first projection on the ring is spaced a predetermined first distance, common to each exchangeable lens of the series, from the minimum f-number graduation in the rotational direction of the ring. Thus, the amount of rotation of the first projection with the ring set to a desired f-number corresponds to the step-difference between the minimum and the desired f-number.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1977Date of Patent: October 3, 1978Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshio Kuramoto, Hiroshi Ueda, Kyozo Uesugi

Patent number: 4067030Abstract: A camera focussing aid includes an auxiliary light projector directing a light beam forwardly of the camera and mounted in the camera body or in a separable flash unit. A mechanism is provided for deactivating the auxiliary projector during the camera exposure sequence and includes a switch network connecting the auxiliary projector lamp to a battery, the switch being opened either with the depression of the shutter release member, the initiation of the shutter opening, the closing of the flash triggering switch or a drop in voltage across the flash charge capacitor. The projector beam is advantageously of small divergence and the auxliary projector may be used with a camera having a split image range finder or a single lens reflex camera.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1976Date of Patent: January 3, 1978Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshio Kuramoto, Toshinori Imura, Yoshiiku Kikukawa
