PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that when a machine screw and a compression spring are used for a driver, time for assembling the driver using the machine screw and the compression spring is required.SOLUTION: The driver includes: a moving unit 10 which is provided with an engagement holder 20 and has a driven part 17 formed with an insertion portion 21 opened at least at one side and an element holder 16 for holding an optical element; a piezoelectric driver 8 having a piezoelectric element 13 that expands and contracts by a voltage applied, a drive shaft 14 which moves in an expansion/contraction direction of the piezoelectric element being driven by the expansion/contraction of the piezoelectric element to move the moving unit, and a drive shaft inserted in an insertion portion; and a leaf spring 9 inserted in the insertion portion and held by the moving unit to press the drive shaft against the driven part. In a state that the leaf spring is inserted in the insertion portion, when the drive shaft is inserted into the insertion portion, the leaf spring is elastically deformed within the insertion portion, and the drive shaft is pressed against the driven part by the leaf spring and the leaf spring is engaged with the engagement holder. Thus, the drive shaft is held by the moving unit without using any special holding member such as machine screw and compression spring.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make thinner in the direction of an optical axis, in the technical field of a light quantity adjustment device and imaging apparatus. SOLUTION: A base body 68 to which a cover plate 91, a first separator 92 and a second separator 93 are attached is formed by injection molding that uses a first mold 600 and a second mold 700. Mounting grooves 89d are formed in the first and the second molds by forming mounting groove formation projections 601 and 701 which project close to each other and come into contact with each other when the molds with molten resin 900 injected in the respective cavities 800 are butted against each other. One of the elastically deformed separators is elastically restored and thereby at least parts of a circumferential part are inserted and mounted in the mounting grooves. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve miniaturization and restrain the occurrence of a superfluous space. SOLUTION: When the first and second actuators 76A and 76B are driven by a control section 136, first and second arms 72 and 74 are swung. Consequently, the first and second diaphragm vanes 62 and 64 are guided by a guide pin 6810 and a side face 6812, so as to be linearly moved opposite to each other. When the first and second diaphragm vanes 62 and 64 are linearly moved opposite to each other, the edges 6202 and 6406 for defining the aperture of the first and second diaphragm vanes 62 and 64 are moved close to or away from each other, thereby changing the size of the aperture 66. Thus, a quantity of light of a luminous flux passed through the aperture 66 is controlled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
