Abstract: There are provided first and second loop-shaped structure sections which are respectively provided to extend continuously along a lower wall part, right-and-left both side wall parts, and an upper wall part of a vehicle body so as to have a loop shape in a vehicle elevational view. The first loop-shaped structure section is positioned in front of a damper support section. A lower-side part of the second loop-shaped structure section which is located at a lower level than the damper support section is formed by a part of the first loop-shaped structure section and its upper-side part is positioned in back of the damper support section. Each of these loop-shaped structure sections is formed by a closed-cross section portion where a closed-cross section is partitioned by plural members and/or a thick plate portion having a thicker plate thickness than a vehicle-body panel.

Abstract: There is provided a lens barrel that can easily and reliably prevent an erroneous operation at the time of switching of a manual focus mode. A lens barrel body houses an imaging optical system including a focus lens. A focus operation ring rotates integrally with a first connection ring about an optical axis of the imaging optical system. A second connection ring is movable between an engagement position at which the second connection ring is engaged with the first connection ring and a cam ring and a disengagement position at which the second connection ring is not engaged with both of the first connection ring and the cam ring. A switching-operation ring is movable between a rotation-restriction position at which the switching-operation ring moves the second connection ring to the engagement position and a rotation-allowable position at which the switching-operation ring moves the second connection ring to the disengagement position.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a camera body of which a manual focus mode can be easily switched. A lens barrel includes an imaging optical system, a first operation ring, a second operation ring, and first and second sensors. The first sensor detects the rotation of the first operation ring and the rotation angle and the rotational direction of the first operation ring. The second sensor detects the angular position of the second operation ring. The imaging optical system includes a focus lens. A camera body includes a body control unit. The body control unit selectively executes a first manual focus mode in which the focus lens is moved according to the rotational direction and the rotation angle detected by the first sensor and a second manual focus mode in which the focus lens is moved according to the angular position detected by the second sensor.

Abstract: Provided are a polarization beam splitter 69 disposed between a subject side finder window 16 and a photographer side observation window 17 and disposed to be obliquely inclined at 45 degrees with respect to an optical axis L of an incident light from the subject side finder window 16, a polarizing filter installed at the incident light entering side of the polarization beam splitter 69 and configured to reflect or cut the s-polarized wave of the incident light; and a display device 61 configured to project a display information of the s-polarized wave on the polarization beam splitter 69 and project the display information reflected from the polarization beam splitter 69 in a direction of the photographer side observation window 17.

Abstract: A digital camera generates principal image data of a predetermined size and backup image data of a maximum size, and records the principal image data and the backup image data in a memory card and an internal memory respectively. In a resize processing in a replay mode, if the backup image data corresponding to the principal image data has been recorded, and a designated size is larger than the principal image data, a resize processing section reads the backup image data from the internal memory and performs the resize processing to the backup image data.

Abstract: An XY stage includes an X stage and a Y stage. The X stage is supported at three points, i.e., two bearings of a first guide shaft, and a first support shaft. The Y stage is also supported at three points, i.e., two bearings of a third guide shaft, and a second support shaft. A CCD holder, which is a stage to be moved, is also supported at three points, i.e., two bearings of a second guide shaft and one bearing of the first guide shaft. The one bearing supporting the CCD holder is opened in the Y direction to be U-shaped so that the first guide shaft is inserted therein, and the first guide shaft is supported on one side of this U-shaped bearing by receiving a biasing force applied by a spring, so that the attitude of the CCD holder in a predetermined direction is defined.

Abstract: The position of a first bonded body is adjusted in an X direction so that a first hall element approaches a position facing a boundary between N and S poles of a first magnet when an X stage is positioned in the middle of a movement stroke in the X direction. Further, the position of a second bonded body is adjusted in a Y direction so that a second hall element approaches a position facing a boundary between N and S poles of a second magnet when the Y stage is positioned in the middle of a movement stroke in the Y direction. The magnet is provided at a position where the sensitivity of the hall element is maximum.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low-profile printer. The printer has a claw installed on a plane which face an exposure surface of an instant film sheet, a single-rotation cam which completes a sequence of operations, and a three-rotation cam which rotates three times while the single-rotation cam makes a single rotation. The claw is equipped with a holding section which extends to the rear end, in the transport direction, of one of instant film sheets and holds the rear end of the instant film sheet. The raking motion of the claw is caused by the three-rotation cam.
