Shutter actuation
Abstract:
An imaging device includes a frame. An imaging sensor is seated in the frame. A shutter is pivotally mounted to the frame along a pivot axis. The shutter is positioned to pivot between a first position that is clear of the imaging sensor and a second position that occludes the imaging sensor. A linear actuator is pivotally connected to the shutter at a linkage axis that is offset from the pivot axis for actuating the shutter between the first and second positions.
