【考案の属する技術分野】[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

コンパクト型双眼鏡として、携帯時には、ポケットに納め得るメモ帳程度の大 きさに容積を縮小し、使用時には、左右の光学系の間隔を眼間距離に等しい間隔 に拡げるようにした極く小型の双眼鏡に関する。 As a compact type of binoculars, the size is reduced to the size of a memo pad that can be stored in a pocket when carrying it, and the space between the left and right optical systems is expanded to be equal to the interocular distance when used. About binoculars.

【0002】[0002]

【従来の技術】[Prior art]

この種のコンパクト型双眼鏡は、一部では、カード型双眼鏡とか、メモ型双眼 鏡とか呼ばれ、携行上嵩張らず極めて便利であるが、その多くは、左右の光学系 を眼間距離より小さく縮収させ、ポケット等から取出して使用する場合には、中 央部に位置する焦点整合用の転輪を支持する軸を中心として、左右の光学系を該 軸の側方に引出して、これら光学系の各光軸間の距離を眼間距離に整一させるよ うに構成されていた。 These types of compact binoculars are called card-type binoculars or memo-type binoculars, and they are very convenient to carry and are not bulky, but in many cases the right and left optical systems are smaller than the interocular distance. When used by taking it out of a pocket, etc., the left and right optical systems are pulled out to the side of the axis centering on the axis that supports the focusing wheel, which is located in the center, and The system was configured to make the distance between the optical axes of the system equal to the interocular distance.

【0003】 左右の光学系の間隔を拡げて、これを眼間距離と整一させるための機構は、双 眼鏡を構成する基体に対し、夫々を外側にスライドさせる機構が構造的にも簡潔 であり、操作も容易で迅速に行なえるものとして屡々用いられてきた。The mechanism for expanding the distance between the left and right optical systems and aligning it with the interocular distance is simple in terms of structure because the mechanism for sliding each of them outward with respect to the base constituting the binoculars is simple. Yes, it is often used because it is easy and quick to operate.

【0004】 然しながら、焦点合わせの為の転輪の回転軸の両側で、左右の光学系の占める 間隔を拡げたり縮小するだけで小型化することは、携行時に双眼鏡の横幅を小さ くなし得るというだけで、小型化の成果を挙げる上で未だ充分なものとは云えな かった。[0004] However, reducing the size by merely increasing or decreasing the space occupied by the left and right optical systems on both sides of the rotating shaft of the wheel for focusing can reduce the lateral width of the binoculars when carried. However, it was still not enough to achieve the results of miniaturization.

【考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problems to be solved by the invention]

双眼鏡としての横幅を、使用時には、拡げて眼間距離に合わせ、携行時には転 輪の回転軸に向けて左右の光学系を互に近付ける方向に移動して横幅を縮小する 他に、その為に必要とされるスライド機構の機能を維持したまま、併せて、左右 の光学系の光軸の前後方向に向けて、対物レンズと接眼レンズとのレンズ間距離 を伸ばしたり、縮めたりすることが可能となれば、携行時における全体の大きさ を更に縮めて、携行性をより高め、携帯に便利となり、よりコンパクトな双眼鏡 を得ることになって有益である。 When used, the width of the binoculars should be expanded to match the interocular distance, and when carried, the left and right optical systems should be moved closer to each other toward the rotation axis of the wheel to reduce the width. The distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece can be increased or decreased in the front-back direction of the optical axes of the left and right optical systems, while maintaining the required function of the slide mechanism. In that case, the overall size when carrying is further reduced, the portability is further improved, the carrying becomes convenient, and more compact binoculars are obtained, which is beneficial.

【0006】 この考案の第1の目的は、左右の光学系を含む横幅を収縮、拡張できるように した双眼鏡に対し、その為に必要な機能的構成を保ったまま、これと直交する方 向、即ち各光学系の光軸方向に沿う前後の長さをも併せて伸長、収縮させ、使用 時には、この前後方向の長さを伸ばして、対物レンズと接眼レンズとを合焦領域 (無限遠点に対する焦点整合点から最短可視距離に対する焦点整合点迄の領域を 、この明細書では合焦領域と呼ぶ)に移動させ、携帯に供する際は、対物レンズ と接眼レンズとの相対距離を縮める方向に、その一方又は双方を移動させ、双眼 鏡の前後方向の占める大きさを小さくしてより小嵩な双眼鏡を提供しようとする ものである。A first object of the present invention is to provide binoculars capable of contracting and expanding the width including right and left optical systems, in a direction orthogonal to the binoculars while maintaining the functional configuration required for the binoculars. In other words, the length of the front and rear along the optical axis direction of each optical system is also extended and contracted, and when used, the length in the front and rear direction is extended to bring the objective lens and the eyepiece into a focusing area (infinity). The area from the focus matching point for the point to the focus matching point for the shortest visible distance is referred to as a focus area in this specification), and when it is carried around, the direction in which the relative distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece is reduced Then, one or both of them are moved to reduce the size occupied by the binoculars in the front-rear direction, thereby providing smaller binoculars.

【0007】 本考案の第2の目的は、左右の各光学系が占める前後方向の長さを携帯に有利 な縮小状態から合焦領域に向けて、必要な各レンズ間距離まで伸ばす上で、対物 レンズと接眼レンズとの一方または双方を合焦領域で焦点整合する為の微調整を 行なう転輪の回転操作をもって行なわせ、機構の簡潔化を図ることである。A second object of the present invention is to extend the length in the front-rear direction occupied by each of the left and right optical systems from a reduced state advantageous for carrying to a focusing area to a required distance between respective lenses. One of the objective lenses and the eyepiece lens is to be performed by rotating the rotating wheel for fine adjustment for focusing in the focusing area to simplify the mechanism.

【0008】 本考案の第3の目的は、左右の光学系の縮小位置から合焦領域に向けて、対物 レンズと接眼レンズとの相対位置を変えるために、その一方または双方を移動す るに当たって、転輪の回転操作による回転量と比例した動きを対物レンズまたは 接眼レンズ若しくはその双方に与えることなく、而も合焦領域では、精密な焦点 整合の為の微調整が可能となるように、転輪の回転量に対し、対物レンズまたは 接眼レンズ若しくは、それら双方の光軸上の移動量を少くし、逆に、この合焦領 域から外れる領域での一方のレンズ若しくは双方のレンズの移動量を転輪の同じ 回転角度で急速に移動させて、携帯時の収縮状態から迅速に合焦領域に向けて動 かし、使用性を向上させることにある。A third object of the present invention is to move one or both of the left and right optical systems in order to change the relative position of the objective lens and the eyepiece from the reduced position of the left and right optical systems toward the focusing area. Without giving a movement proportional to the amount of rotation by the rotating operation of the rotating wheel to the objective lens and / or the eyepiece, fine adjustment for precise focus alignment is possible in the focusing area. The amount of movement of the objective lens and / or the eyepiece lens or both of them on the optical axis is reduced with respect to the amount of rotation of the wheel, and conversely, the movement of one or both lenses in a region out of the focusing area The aim is to move the wheel quickly at the same rotation angle of the wheel to move quickly from the contracted state when carrying the camera to the in-focus area, thereby improving usability.

【0009】 その他の目的は、この解決課題を充足させる為に具体的に開示した本考案の実 施例の説明からも理解することができよう。The other objects can be understood from the description of the embodiment of the present invention specifically disclosed to satisfy the problem to be solved.

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

上記の課題を解決するために、本考案では、焦点整合用の転輪を有する回転軸上 に、該転輪の回転による光学系の繰出し作用の起点側で急傾斜とし、繰出し作用 の終端側で緩傾斜とした螺旋溝を設け、この溝に介入する球体を内装し、且つ螺 旋溝を備えた前記回転軸を貫入させた光学系駆動体を、前記回転軸の軸心に沿っ て移動可能に保持するとともに、前記回転軸の側方に向けて、互いに離間、接近 を可能とした左右の光学系の動きを案内する中継連結部材を介して、前記左右の 光学系の各鏡枠を前記光学系駆動体と連携させた。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the present invention, a steep slope is provided on a rotating shaft having a focusing wheel, and a steep inclination is provided at a starting point side of an extending operation of the optical system by rotation of the rotating wheel, and an end side of the extending operation is provided. A spiral groove which is gently inclined is provided, and an optical system driving body having a sphere intervening in the groove therein and penetrating the rotary shaft provided with the spiral groove is moved along the axis of the rotary shaft. And holding the lens frames of the left and right optical systems via a relay connecting member that guides the movement of the left and right optical systems that can move away from and approach each other toward the side of the rotating shaft. The optical system driver was cooperated.

In moving the left and right optical systems in the direction of their optical axes in accordance with the operation of pushing the driving body in the direction of the axis of the rotary shaft, the moving operation is rapidly performed in the initial stage of feeding. This is done and the moving speed is gradually reduced so that the moving operation becomes slower in the focusing area near the end of the feeding.

【考案実施の形態】[Embodiment]

本考案によれば、左右の光学系における対物レンズまたは、接眼レンズをそれ らの光軸方向に動かすに当たって、これらの何れか一方を他方に対し動かす場合 と、双方を同時に動かす場合とが考えられる。何れにしても焦点整合用の転輪の 回転軸上に螺旋溝を設け、この螺旋溝に介入する球体を可動光学系の光軸方向移 動部材に連らなる光学系駆動体に収容するものとし、対物レンズと接眼レンズと が相対的に最も近づいた位置、即ち、双眼鏡として光学系の光軸方向に沿う長さ が最も短くなった携帯時の収縮状態において、前記球体が螺旋溝に介入している 際の伸長初期位置の側で、この螺旋溝の傾斜回転軸上で急角度をもつようにピッ チを大きく採り、逆に回転軸の回転により伸長終端位置に近づく程回転軸上に形 成した螺旋溝の傾斜を緩やかにしてピッチを小さくし、球体を収容している前記 光学系駆動体の光軸方向に沿う動きに変化を与え、伸長初期位置の側で可動光学 系の軸方向移動部材に連なる光学系駆動体の軸方向に沿う動きを、同じ転輪の回 転量に対応して、急速移動から次第に緩速移動に変化させるようにする。 According to the present invention, when moving the objective lens or the eyepiece in the left and right optical systems in the direction of their optical axes, either one of them may be moved relative to the other, or both may be simultaneously moved. . In any case, a spiral groove is provided on the rotation axis of the focusing wheel, and a sphere intervening in the spiral groove is housed in an optical system driving body connected to the optical axis moving member of the movable optical system. The sphere intervenes in the spiral groove at the position where the objective lens and the eyepiece are relatively closest to each other, that is, in the contracted state at the time of carrying the binoculars in which the length along the optical axis direction of the optical system is the shortest. On the side of the initial extension position during the stretching, a large pitch is taken so as to have a steep angle on the inclined rotation axis of this spiral groove, and conversely, as the rotation axis approaches the extension end position, The pitch of the formed spiral groove is made gentle to reduce the pitch, and the movement of the optical system driving body containing the sphere along the optical axis direction is changed. Movement along the axial direction of the optical system driver connected to the direction moving member And in response to rotation of the same rolling wheel, so as to vary gradually slow movement from the rapid movement.

【0013】 別の手段としては、前記螺旋軸の回転軸上の傾きを伸長終端位置の近くまで一 様の急傾斜とし、合焦領域に達する位置の直前からその傾きを一様な緩傾斜とし て、合焦領域に達した後の焦点整合操作を精密に行えるように、微調整可能とす るようにしてもよい。As another means, the inclination of the helical shaft on the rotation axis is set to a steep inclination near the extension end position, and the inclination is set to a uniform gentle inclination immediately before the position where the focusing area is reached. Then, fine adjustment may be made so that the focus adjustment operation after reaching the focus area can be performed precisely.

【0014】 左右の光学系における対物レンズを、接眼レンズに対して移動し、光学系の光 軸上で対物レンズだけを移動させ、双眼鏡の前後方向の寸法を伸長させる場合に は、前記球体を収容し、且つ前後方向に沿って摺動可能とした光学系駆動体を対 物レンズの光軸方向移動部材と連携させればよい。When the objective lenses in the left and right optical systems are moved with respect to the eyepiece, and only the objective lens is moved on the optical axis of the optical system to extend the size of the binoculars in the front-back direction, the sphere is moved. An optical system driving body that is housed and slidable in the front-back direction may be linked with the moving member in the optical axis direction of the objective lens.

【0015】 また、これとは逆に、接眼レンズを対物レンズに対して移動し、光学系の光軸 上で接眼レンズだけを移動させ、双眼鏡の前後方向の寸法を伸長させる場合には 、前記球体を収容し、且つ前後方向に沿って摺動可能とした光学系駆動体を接眼 レンズの光軸方向移動部材と連携させることになる。Conversely, when the eyepiece is moved with respect to the objective lens and only the eyepiece is moved on the optical axis of the optical system to extend the size of the binoculars in the front-back direction, The optical system driving body that accommodates the sphere and is slidable in the front-rear direction is linked to the optical axis direction moving member of the eyepiece.

【0016】 また、対物レンズと接眼レンズとの双方を動かして対物レンズと接眼レンズと の相対的間隔に変化を与えるようにする場合には、転輪を備える回転軸上の螺旋 溝を対物レンズに対応する螺旋溝と、接眼レンズに対応する螺旋溝とを個別に形 成し、それらを互に逆ピッチとすることが必要であり、これにより転輪の同一方 向の回転により、対物レンズを保持する光学系移動部材に連らなり、螺旋溝の回 転に関連して推動される光学系駆動体の動きと、接眼レンズを保持する光学系移 動部材に連らなり、螺旋溝の回転に関連して推動される光学系駆動体の動きの間 で、互に離間させたり、互に近接させたりすることが必要となる。In order to change the relative distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece by moving both the objective lens and the eyepiece, the spiral groove on the rotating shaft provided with the rolling wheel is connected to the objective lens. It is necessary to separately form a spiral groove corresponding to the eyepiece and a spiral groove corresponding to the eyepiece, and make them have a pitch opposite to each other. The movement of the optical system driver driven by the rotation of the spiral groove and the movement of the optical system driver that holds the eyepiece are connected to the optical system moving member that holds the eyepiece. It is necessary to move the optical system driving bodies apart from each other or close to each other during the rotation-driven movement of the optical system driving bodies.

【0017】 然しながら、この種コンパクト型双眼鏡は、それ自体が極く小型に構成されて いる関係で、左右の光学系を伸長して使用状態にした場合でも、接眼レンズに双 眼を近づけて覗視し遠方の望遠観察をする際は、覗視の際に双眼間の鼻梁が、転 輪背後の双眼鏡の中央部後面に接して、双眼を充分に接眼レンズの端面に近づけ 得ぬ場合が多いから、双眼鏡の外郭部分から接眼レンズ系を大きく突出させるこ とが好ましい。即ち、対物レンズ系を動かさずに接眼レンズ系を大きく移動後端 させるか、或いは、対物レンズ系の伸長方向の動きを少くし、接眼レンズ系の伸 長方向の動きを大きく採れば、双眼鏡の後面から大きく伸長突出する左右の接眼 レンズ系の間に鼻梁が充分に納まるようになって、遠方観察の操作を妨げないで 済む。However, the compact binoculars of this kind are extremely small in size, so that even when the left and right optical systems are extended and used, the binoculars can be brought close to the eyepiece and viewed. When performing telephoto observation at a distance, the nose bridge between the binoculars is often in contact with the rear part of the center of the binoculars behind the wheel during peeping, making it difficult to bring the binoculars sufficiently close to the end surface of the eyepiece. For this reason, it is preferable that the eyepiece system be largely protruded from the outer part of the binoculars. That is, if the eyepiece lens system is largely moved to the rear end without moving the objective lens system, or if the movement of the objective lens system in the direction of extension is reduced and the movement of the eyepiece system in the direction of extension is increased, the binoculars The bridge of the nose can be fully accommodated between the left and right eyepieces that protrude greatly from the rear surface, and do not interfere with the operation of distant observation.

【0018】 [実施例] 上記のような考案実施の形態における望ましい実例として、図に示した場合に つき以下具体的に説明する。[Embodiment] As a desirable example in the above-described devised embodiment, the case shown in the drawings will be specifically described below.

【0020】 また、双眼鏡の本質として、当然の事ながら左右の光学系及び、これを収蔵し ている各部構造は、転輪Wの回転軸心X−Xを中心として左右対称に構成されて いるから、この明細書では、左側の光学系及びこれに関係する部分に関して主と して説明を進め、右側の光学系及びこれに関係する部分の説明を省略するが、右 側の光学系及びこれに関係する部分は、左側の光学系及びこれに関係する部分の 構造と同じ構成及び動作を行なうものと理解されるべきである。As the essence of the binoculars, the right and left optical systems and the structure of each part storing the same are naturally symmetrical about the rotation axis XX of the wheel W. Therefore, in this specification, the left optical system and its related parts will be mainly described, and the description of the right optical system and its related parts will be omitted, but the right optical system and its related parts will be omitted. It should be understood that the parts related to the above have the same configuration and operation as the structure of the left optical system and the related parts.

In a state where the objective lens system and the eyepiece lens system are moved sideways and expanded to the front and rear direction of the optical axis, and brought to the focus area, the function and the function thereof are as follows. One of the features of the present invention is that it is performed while maintaining the structure and function of the present invention, and these will be clarified by the following description.

【0033】 前記器筐25には、その中央前後方向に転輪Wの回転軸24を適宜の軸受部を 介して軸装してあるが、この回転軸24は、双眼鏡の前方から後方に沿って、一 定のピッチをもって形成した螺条部23と、前方寄りを急傾斜とし、後方に向っ て次第に緩傾斜とした螺旋溝32と、転輪Wとを具備している。The casing 25 is provided with a rotating shaft 24 of the wheel W in the center front-rear direction via a suitable bearing. The rotating shaft 24 extends from the front to the rear of the binoculars. The threaded portion 23 is formed with a constant pitch, the spiral groove 32 is formed with a steep slope toward the front and gradually inclined toward the back, and a rolling wheel W.

【0034】 一定のピッチをもって形成した螺旋部23には、中継連結杆101及び同10 3を嵌装し、且つその上方で前記螺旋部23と螺合する螺旋29を内側に形成し た対物レンズ駆動体27を器筐25内に組込んであり、これによって、転輪Wを 回すことにより回転する回転軸24の回転が、対物レンズ駆動体27を回転軸2 4の軸心X−Xの方向に向って推動する。その結果、左右の光学系が器筐25に 対してどのような横移動の位置を占めていても、対物レンズ11を保持する鏡枠 15は、中継連結杆101及び103を介して張出部101と共にそれらの光軸 方向に向って前後移動する。器筐25の各側壁に穿った長溝35は、この前後移 動の際に中継連結杆101及び103が溝内で前後方向に動く移動を許容するた めのものであり、従って長溝35の長さは、対物レンズ系が最も後退した位置、 即ち、双眼鏡の前後方向の寸法が最も小さくなった位置から、対物レンズ系が合 焦領域にある最も前進した位置に達するまでの中継連結杆101及び103の前 後作動量に対応した長さを具える。(図3では、対物レンズ11が合焦領域にお ける最端可視距離に対応した位置を占めるときの中継連結杆101の位置を示し てある。) 他方、上記対物レンズ系の前進後退動作とは別に、前方寄りを急傾斜とし、後 方になるに従って次第に緩傾斜とした特殊な螺旋形態から成る螺旋溝32を有す る軸筒部34は、球体30を螺旋溝32に嵌入させた状態で接眼レンズ駆動体2 8に貫入させてある。接眼レンズ駆動体28と、軸筒部34並びに螺旋溝32に 介入している球体30との相関的な構造は図5に示されている。図5において3 8は接眼レンズ駆動体28の下方から、これを抱くように取付けたU字型断面を もつ球体保持部材であり、同部材はまた、その前後張出し縁部を曲げ込んで中継 連結橋片102,104を挟持する保持片40を具えている。An objective lens in which a relay connecting rod 101 and 103 are fitted in a spiral portion 23 formed at a constant pitch, and a spiral 29 screwed with the spiral portion 23 is formed above the relay connecting rod 101 and 103. The driving body 27 is incorporated in the housing 25, whereby the rotation of the rotating shaft 24 that is rotated by rotating the rolling wheel W changes the objective lens driving body 27 to the axis XX of the rotating shaft 24. Thrust in the direction. As a result, no matter what lateral movement position the left and right optical systems occupy with respect to the housing 25, the lens frame 15 holding the objective lens 11 can be extended through the relay connecting rods 101 and 103. It moves back and forth in the optical axis direction together with 101. The long grooves 35 formed in each side wall of the casing 25 allow the relay connecting rods 101 and 103 to move in the front and rear directions in the grooves during the front and rear movement. The relay connecting rods 101 and 101 extend from the position where the objective lens system is most retracted, that is, the position where the size of the binoculars in the front-rear direction is smallest, to the position where the objective lens system reaches the most advanced position in the focusing area. It has a length corresponding to the operation amount before and after 103. (FIG. 3 shows the position of the relay connecting rod 101 when the objective lens 11 occupies a position corresponding to the endmost visible distance in the focusing area.) On the other hand, the forward and backward movements of the objective lens system are shown. Separately, a shaft cylinder portion 34 having a spiral groove 32 having a special spiral shape in which the front portion is steeply inclined and gradually inclined gradually toward the rear side is a state in which the spherical body 30 is fitted into the spiral groove 32. To penetrate the eyepiece driver 28. FIG. 5 shows the relative structure of the eyepiece driver 28 and the sphere 30 intervening in the shaft cylinder portion 34 and the spiral groove 32. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 38 denotes a sphere holding member having a U-shaped cross section which is attached so as to embrace the eyepiece driving body 28 from underneath the eyepiece driving body 28. A holding piece 40 for holding the bridge pieces 102 and 104 is provided.

【0035】 球体保持部材38により保持された球体30を具備する対物レンズ駆動体28 も、図1及び図2から明らかなように、器筐25内に収容され、中継連結橋片1 02,104を介して接眼レンズ12を含む鏡枠16から張出した前方の張出部 18と連結されているから、転輪Wを回して回転軸24を(軸筒34とともに) 回転させると、球体30は、接眼レンズ駆動体28の内部に在って螺旋溝32内 を転動し、これによって、接眼レンズ駆動体28を前後方向に推動し、この移動 は、中継連結橋片102,104及び張出部18を介して接眼レンズ系の鏡枠1 6を前後移動させることになる。The objective lens driver 28 including the sphere 30 held by the sphere holding member 38 is also housed in the casing 25 as is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, and the relay connection bridge pieces 102 and 104. Is connected to the front projecting portion 18 projecting from the lens frame 16 including the eyepiece lens 12 via the lens, so that when the rotating wheel W is rotated to rotate the rotating shaft 24 (along with the shaft cylinder 34), the sphere 30 Inside the eyepiece driving body 28, it rolls in the spiral groove 32, and thereby urges the eyepiece driving body 28 in the front-rear direction. This movement is caused by the relay connection bridges 102, 104 and the overhang. The lens frame 16 of the eyepiece system is moved back and forth through the unit 18.

【0036】 転輪Wを回すことによる前記対物レンズ系の前進後退運動は、この実施例の場 合、螺旋部23及びこれと螺合する螺旋29とが一定ピッチの螺旋として構成さ れているので、転輪Wを回す回転軸24の回転量と対物レンズ系の前進後退の運 動量とは比例関係にあるが、本考案の特徴として、接眼レンズ系の前進後退の運 動量は、回転軸24の回転量とは比例関係にはない。In this embodiment, the forward and backward movement of the objective lens system by turning the rolling wheel W is such that the spiral portion 23 and the spiral 29 screwed with the spiral portion 23 are formed as spirals having a constant pitch. Therefore, there is a proportional relationship between the amount of rotation of the rotary shaft 24 that rotates the wheel W and the amount of forward / backward movement of the objective lens system. As a feature of the present invention, the amount of forward / backward movement of the eyepiece lens system is 24 is not proportional to the amount of rotation.

【0037】 即ち、この考案では、軸筒34の前端に近い部分程螺旋溝32を急傾斜とし、 ピッチを大きく採ってあり、軸筒34の後端(転輪Wに近い側)程緩傾斜にして ピッチを小さく構成してあるので、図1における携行時におけるように、左右の 光学系が器枠19内に引き込まれている状態から転輪Wを回転すると、回転の初 期における左右の光学系の伸長突出量は、同じ回転量に対して大きくなり、急速 な伸長突出作用が行なわれる。That is, in the present invention, the spiral groove 32 is made steeper at the portion closer to the front end of the shaft cylinder 34, and the pitch is made larger, and the rear end of the shaft cylinder 34 (the side closer to the rolling wheel W) becomes gentler. When the wheel W is rotated from the state in which the left and right optical systems are retracted into the casing 19, as in the case of carrying in FIG. The amount of extension and projection of the optical system increases for the same amount of rotation, and a rapid extension and extension action is performed.

【0038】 また、引き続く転輪Wの回転によって、対物レンズ系が前進し、同時に接眼レ ンズ系が後退して、これらが前記合焦領域に近づく程、同じ転輪の回転量または 速度に対して接眼光学系の後退量または速度は急速に小さくなる。Further, as the rotating wheel W continues to rotate, the objective lens system moves forward, and at the same time, the eyepiece lens system retracts, and as they approach the in-focus area, the rotation amount or speed of the same rotating wheel increases. Therefore, the retreat amount or speed of the eyepiece optical system decreases rapidly.

【0039】 従って、合焦領域に達した以後は、転輪Wの大きな回転角に対しても、接眼光 学系の後退量は少くなり、後退速度も鈍くなって、合焦領域における転輪Wの回 転量に対し、微細な接眼レンズの位置調整が行なわれる。Therefore, after reaching the focusing area, the retreat amount of the eyepiece optical system is reduced and the retreat speed becomes slow even for a large rotation angle of the rotating wheel W, and the rotating wheel in the focused area is reduced. Fine adjustment of the position of the eyepiece is performed with respect to the rotation amount of W.

【0040】 この他、図中符号42はガイド杆21を器枠19に架装する際に、器枠19の 一部を貫き、ガイド杆21に捻ぢ込んだガイド杆21の取付ビスである。In addition, reference numeral 42 in the drawing denotes a mounting screw for the guide rod 21 that penetrates a part of the casing 19 and is screwed into the guide rod 21 when the guide rod 21 is mounted on the casing 19. .

【0041】 また43は、接眼レンズ12,14を覗き込む際に、鼻梁が双眼鏡の背後に当 たらぬようにした凹みである。Reference numeral 43 denotes a recess that prevents the bridge of the nose from hitting behind the binoculars when looking into the eyepieces 12 and 14.

【考案の効果】[Effect of the invention]

本考案の光学系繰出し機構では、左右の光学系を器枠内に収納した最小容積の 状態から、これらを駆動して光学系の前後方向の長さを伸長するに当たり、前記 最小容積にある状態から転輪を回す回転初期の段階程、転輪の回転に関連して光 学系(実施例の場合では接眼レンズ系)の突出作動量は大きく、迅速に合焦領域 に持ち来たすことができ、合焦領域にあっては、光学系の前後移動量を微細に調 整することが可能となるから、小嵩に収縮させた携帯時から観察使用に移る動作 を機敏に行なえるという利点がある。それにも拘らず、合焦領域にある光学系に 対しては、転輪の大きな回転に対し光学系の光軸上に沿う前後移動量を緩慢なも のとして、観察対象の距離に応じた精密な焦点調節が行なえるという効果を発揮 させ得る。 In the optical system feeding mechanism of the present invention, when the left and right optical systems are housed in the container frame and the length of the optical system in the front-rear direction is extended by driving these optical systems, the left and right optical systems are in the minimum volume. In the early stages of rotation, when the wheel is rotated, the projection amount of the optical system (eyepiece system in the case of the embodiment) is large in relation to the rotation of the wheel, and it can be quickly brought to the focusing area. In the focusing area, the amount of forward / backward movement of the optical system can be finely adjusted. is there. Nevertheless, for the optical system in the focusing area, the amount of forward and backward movement along the optical axis of the optical system is slow for a large rotation of the rolling wheel, and the precision according to the distance of the observation target is assumed. It is possible to achieve the effect that the focus adjustment can be performed.

【0043】 更に、上述した優れた機能を発揮させる上で、左右の光学系を眼間距離に一致 させる為に、左右の光学系を互に反方向の側方に向けて拡げるための機構に対し 、格別の構造的改変を必要とせずに、光学系の繰出し、引き込みの機能を与え得 るから、少ない部品点数及びその組立工数をもって、全体を低廉に提供し得る他 、故障することも少なく、コンパクト型双眼鏡の機能向上に資するところが多大 である。Further, in order to exhibit the above-mentioned excellent functions, in order to make the left and right optical systems coincide with the interocular distance, a mechanism for expanding the left and right optical systems in opposite directions to each other is provided. On the other hand, since it is possible to provide the function of extending and retracting the optical system without requiring any special structural modification, the entire system can be provided at low cost with a small number of parts and the number of assembling steps, and there are few failures. There is a great deal of contribution to improving the functions of compact binoculars.
