| 20080225412 | LENS DEVICE - A lens device is provided and includes: a lens barrel body in a box form opened in an upper surface thereof; a lid member attached to the upper surface of the lens barrel body; three fixing units that fix the lid member and the lens barrel body; and at least one engaging unit that engages the lid member with the lens barrel body so as to prevent the lid member from separating from the lens barrel body. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080225413 | LENS DEVICE - A lens device is provided and includes: at least two lenses; and a lens frame holding the at least two lenses. The lens frame includes a first lens frame holding one of the at least two lenses and a second lens frame holding another of the at least two lenses, and the first lens frame and the second lens frame are attached in a line contact in circumferential directions thereof. The first lens frame and the second lens frame are bonded after an optical adjustment of the at least two lenses by relatively swinging the first lens framed and the second lens frame with respect to the line contact. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080225414 | LENS DEVICE - A lens device is provided and includes: a lens barrel body; a lens frame swingably attached to the lens barrel body; and a swing mechanism being adapted to swing the lens frame so that alignment of an optical axis of the lens device can be effected, the swing mechanism including: an elastic unit interposed between the lens barrel body and the lens frame, the elastic unit biasing the lens barrel body and the lens frame in directions away from each other or in directions nearing to each other; and an advancing and retracting unit disposed at three points in a circumferential direction defined by the lens barrel body and the lens frame, the advancing and retracting unit advancing or retracting the lens frame relative to the lens barrel body against a bias force of the elastic unit to swing the lens frame. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080226275 | LENS DEVICE - A lens device is provided and includes: a vibration-proof lens; a movable lens disposed adjacent to the vibration-proof lens and moving in a direction of an imaging optical axis of the lens device; and a plate-like motor coil disposed around an outer periphery of the vibration-proof lens and driving the vibration-proof lens, the movable lens being located in a retracted position on the imaging optical axis relative to the plate-like motor coil when the movable lens moves closest to the plate like motor coil. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090091830 | LENS DEVICE - A lens device is provided and includes: a housing having a first fixed axis in a transverse direction and a second fixed axis in a longitudinal direction; a first slider supported so as to be slidable along the first fixed axis; a second slider supported so as to be slidable along the second fixed axis; a first movement bar fixed to the first slider in the longitudinal direction; a second movement bar fixed to the second slider in the transverse direction; and a lens holding frame supported so as to be slidable along the first movement bar and the second movement bar. The lens holding frame has two recessed engagement sections open in two different directions, and one of the first and second movement axes is inserted into and engaged with the two recessed engagement sections. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090091831 | LENS DEVICE - A lens device is provided and includes: a housing having a first fixed axis fixed in a transverse direction and a second fixed axis fixed in a longitudinal direction; a first slider supported so as to be slidable along the first fixed axis; a second slider supported so as to be slidable along the second fixed axis; a first movement bar fixed to the first slider in the longitudinal direction; a second movement bar fixed to the second slider in the transverse direction; a lens holding frame supported so as to be slidable along the first movement bar and the second movement bar; and a guide bar fixed to the housing in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. One of the first and second sliders has an engagement section engaged with the guide bar so as to be regulated in the optical axis direction. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20100067129 | LENS DEVICE - A lens device includes: a lens barrel body having holes; guide bars supported by the lens barrel body and one ends of the guide bars are inserted in the holes; lens holding frames supported so as to be movable along the guide bars and are engaged with the guide bars; and pressing members that press the one ends of the guide bars in a direction perpendicular to the guide bars and are inserted in the holes. The pressing members have a falling-off prevention engagement protrusion engaged with the lens barrel body. | 03-18-2010 |
