    Abstract: A lens barrel for a camera wherein an outer profile thereof has a reduced dimension in a radial direction of a movable lens (11) and with a lens holding member (12) that can be moved smoothly in a direction of an optical axis of the movable lens (11) held on the barrel. The lens barrel (3) comprises an outer shell (4) having a pair of guide portions (23) provided therein and a lens holding member (12) holding a movable lens (11) thereon. The lens holding member (12) has a pair of guide portions (34) provided at the opposite locations thereof with respect to the optical axis and is supported at the guide portions (34) thereof for sliding movement on the guide portions (23) of the outer shell (4). The lens barrel (3) further comprises an actuator (15) including a coil (13) securely mounted on the lens holding member (12) and a magnet (14) securely mounted on the outer shell (4). The coil (13) and magnet (14) are disposed coaxially to each other around the optical axis. Position detecting means (36) is disposed in a spaced relationship by substantially equal distances from the guide portions (34) of the lens holding member (12) and detects a position of the lens holding member (12) with respect to the outer shell (4).

    Abstract: The lens barrel apparatus comprises an outer shell (3), lens holding member (33, 25, 40) holding a focusing lens (10) thereon, the latter being contained within the outer shell for movement in a direction of an optic axis of the focusing lens, and an actuator (32) including an actuating coil (35) secured to one of the lens holding member (25) and the outer shell and wound around a coil core (31). The actuator further includes a magnet secured to the other of the lens holding member (33) and the outer shell in a coaxial relationship with the actuating coil (35) around the optic axis. According to the invention, a detecting coil (37) is wound on the coil core in an overlapping relationship with the actuating coil (35) for detecting a speed of movement of the focusing lens. This arrangement whereby the speed detection coil and the actuating are superimposed on a common core economises on the number of parts required, as well as on weight and cost.

    Abstract: A voice coil type actuator wherein the length in an axial direction and the number of parts is reduced without deteriorating a required function and the magnetic flux density in a space in which a movable coil (11) is located is substantially uniform over the entire length in an axial direction. The voice coil type actuator comprises a fixed guide shaft (14) having a radial portion made of a permeable material and a movable body supported for axial sliding movement on the guide shaft. The movable coil (11) is supported coaxially with the guide shaft (14) on the movable body (13). A yoke (17) having a substantially cylindrical profile is disposed in such a manner as to surround a range of movement of the movable coil (11), and a pair of fixed magnets (18,18') are disposed in contact with the guide shaft (14) and the yoke (17) and magnetized with the opposite polarities in a radial direction. The yoke (17) has a recess (17a) formed therein in the axial direction of the yoke, and a movable member to be moved by the actuator is supported at a portion of the movable body (13) which extends laterally through the recess in the yoke.

    Abstract: A linear electromagnetic driving apparatus includes a substantially rectangular tube-shaped magnetic yoke comprised of outer and inner frame plates spaced apart to form a gap with at least one magnet secured to an outer or inner frame plate to generate magnetic flux. A bobbin supporting a coil which extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the magnetic yoke is positioned in the gap. A driven member is secured to and coaxial with the bobbin and has openings to receive the inner frame plates of the yoke such that when the coil is energized to move the bobbin in the gap, the inner frame plates extend into and through the bobbin and into and through the openings of the driven member. A fixed shaft extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the yoke; and a bearing secured to the bobbin structure and extending outwardly therefrom receives and is slidable on the fixed shaft. At least one of the corners formed on the rectangular tube-shaped yoke is cut out to define an open portion through which the bearing passes so as to be unobstructed as the bobbin slides within the yoke.
