| 20090317072 | FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER - A focal plane shutter includes: a shutter substrate having an opening; a blade for opening and closing the opening; a drive member swingably supported for driving the blade; a drive spring for driving the drive member; and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting an urging force of the drive spring. One end of the drive spring is engaged with the drive member. The adjustment mechanism includes: an adjustment member engaging the other end of the drive spring and rotatably supported to adjust the urging force of the drive spring; and an engagement member abutting the adjustment member to stop rotation of the adjustment member. The adjustment member has a clearance portion for avoiding abutment against the engagement member at a given rotational position. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20110116149 | BLADE SPEED ADJUSTABLE MECHANISM AND FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER HAVING THE SAME - A blade speed adjustable mechanism includes: a board having an opening; a shutter blade opening or closing the opening; a drive lever supported by the board and bringing the shutter blade into an overlapped operation or an expanded operation; a biasing member engaging the drive lever and biasing the shutter blade in an overlapped direction or in an expanded direction; a ratchet member engaging the biasing member and having ratchet teeth; an engagement member holding the ratchet member at a desired stop position and adjusting an biasing force of the biasing member by changing the stop position. The engagement member has a plurality of pawl portions different from each other in length. The pawl portion engages the ratchet tooth to hold the ratchet member at the stop position. A difference in length between the pawl portions is shorter than a distance corresponding to a pitch of the ratchet teeth. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20120008932 | FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER AND OPTICAL DEVICE - A focal plane shutter includes: an electromagnet; a board including an opening; a blade movable between a position where the blade recedes from the opening and a position where the blade covers at least part of the opening; and a drive lever driving the blade, and including: a spindle portion provided at its one end with a flange portion; an iron piece provided at the other end of the spindle portion and capable of being adsorbed to the electromagnet; a support portion including a through hole through which the spindle portion penetrates with a play; and a guide portion provided along the iron piece. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120008933 | FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER AND OPTICAL DEVICE - A focal plane shutter includes: a board including an opening; a blade movable between a position where the blade recedes from the opening and a position where the blade covers at least part of the opening; a drive arm connected to the blade, the drive arm including an engagement hole; a drive lever including a drive pin engaging the engagement hole; and a restriction portion provided in the drive arm, the restriction portion abutting the drive pin and being thicker than the drive arm. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120087646 | FOCAL-PLANE SHUTTER AND OPTICAL APPARATUS - A focal plane shutter includes: an electromagnet; a board including an opening; blades capable of opening and closing the opening; a drive member holding an iron piece adsorbed to the electromagnet and driving the blades, the drive member being movable such that the iron piece moves toward and away from the electromagnet and being biased by a spring such that the iron piece moves away from the electromagnet; and a holding board facing the board and including a pair of sandwiching portions elastically deformable and holding and sandwiching the electromagnet. The electromagnet includes a restriction portion engaging the board and restricting a movement of the electromagnet in a direction where the iron piece moves away from the electromagnet. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120177359 | FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER AND OPTICAL DEVICE USING SAME - A focal plane shutter includes: a board including an opening; blades capable of opening and closing the opening; a drive member movable between a start position and a terminal position, biased toward the terminal position, and driving the blades; a brake member supported to abut and move away from the drive member positioned at the terminal position, and biased to abut the drive member positioned at the terminal position; and a set member rotatable in only one direction, and moving the drive member from the terminal position to the start position; wherein the set member includes a drive portion abutting the brake member to move the brake member away from the drive member and then abutting the drive member to move the drive member toward the start position. | 07-12-2012 |
| 20120183287 | BLADE DRIVING DEVICE AND OPTICAL INSTRUMENT - A blade driving device includes: a board including an opening; a blade movable between a position receding from the opening and a position overlapping at least a part of the opening; and a buffering member having a loop shape, having an elasticity, abutting the blade at an end of a movable range of the blade, and being deformable such that the loop shape is warped when abutting against the blade. | 07-19-2012 |
