SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As described above, the straight-moving cylinder 1
In the method of fastening the disc member 102 and the disc member 102 with the screw BS, it is necessary to secure a certain length of the bulging portion 103a, which is a threaded portion, in the optical axis direction in order to secure strength by fastening. This leads to an increase in the size of the lens barrel. Specifically, when another cylindrical member or the like is arranged on the inner peripheral surface side of the rectilinear advancing cylinder 103, the bulging portion 103a must be arranged avoiding the optical axis direction.
As the length a becomes longer, the length of the lens barrel in the optical axis direction must be increased. When the bulging portion 103a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rectilinear barrel 101, the same problem as described above occurs when another cylindrical member or the like is disposed on the outer peripheral surface side. Further, in the above configuration, there is also a problem that the efficiency of assembly work is low because screws are required at a plurality of locations.
