Description

この発明は、双眼鏡の眼巾を任意の位置に固定するための装置及びこの眼巾固定装置を備えた双眼鏡に関する。   The present invention relates to a device for fixing the binoculars' eyelids at an arbitrary position and binoculars provided with the eyebrow fixing device.

多くの双眼鏡は、使用者に合わせて眼巾つまり左右接眼鏡の中心間距離を調節できるようになっている。この眼巾調節のための典型的な構造として、例えば特許文献1に示されているように、双眼鏡の左右一対の鏡筒を各鏡筒間に設けた連結軸を介して相互に屈曲可能に連結し、この連結軸を中心とする左右鏡筒間の屈曲角度に応じて眼巾を調節できるようにしたものが知られている。   Many binoculars can adjust the eye width, that is, the distance between the centers of the right and left eyepieces according to the user. As a typical structure for adjusting the eye width, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a pair of left and right lens barrels of binoculars can be bent with respect to each other via a connecting shaft provided between the lens barrels. It is known that the eye width can be adjusted according to the bending angle between the left and right lens barrels with the connection axis as the center.

特開平10−246858JP-A-10-246858

この種の眼巾調節機構では、一般的に連結軸の締め付け部分に発生させた摩擦力に基づいて眼巾を保持するようになっている。これにより、使用者は任意の位置に容易に眼巾を調節できると共に、その位置に眼巾を固定しておくことができるわけである。   In this kind of eye width adjustment mechanism, the eye width is generally held based on a frictional force generated in a tightening portion of the connecting shaft. Thus, the user can easily adjust the eye width at an arbitrary position and can fix the eye width at that position.

しかしながら、その反面、眼巾の固定を摩擦力に依存していることから、使用中の力加減など何かの拍子で眼巾が変化してしまうおそれがあり、特に長期使用等に伴って連結軸の締め付けが甘くなってくると眼巾が変化し易くなり、例えば野鳥観察などの際に片手で一方の鏡筒を保持した状態で観察をしようとすると、他方の鏡筒が自重で下がってきてしまい眼巾が動いてしまうといった不都合を生じる。   However, because the fixation of the eyelid depends on frictional force, there is a risk that the eyelid may change due to any change in force during use, especially with long-term use. When the tightening of the shaft becomes sweeter, the width of the eyelids changes easily. For example, when observing with one hand held with one hand when observing a bird, the other hand comes down with its own weight. This causes inconvenience that the eyelid moves.

また、従来の双眼鏡では使用者に合った眼巾に速やかに調節できるように連結軸の端部(いわゆる陣笠部)などに目盛りを設けて眼巾調節の目安にできるようにしている。しかしながら、このような目盛りだけでは微妙な眼巾調節は困難であり、また天体観測などの夜間使用においては目盛りそのものが視認し難いという問題がある。   Further, in conventional binoculars, a scale is provided at the end of the connecting shaft (so-called campasa) so that the eye width can be quickly adjusted to suit the user so that it can be used as a guide for adjusting the eye width. However, it is difficult to finely adjust the width of the eyelid only with such a scale, and there is a problem that the scale itself is difficult to visually recognize during night use such as astronomical observation.

A fifth aspect of the invention is a binocular provided with the binocular width fixing device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects.

前記請求項1以下の各発明において、操作部材を操作して固定部材を双眼鏡の連結腕部から離隔するようにした状態では、各鏡筒の連結腕部はその連結軸を中心とした屈曲作動を拘束されないので、使用者は従来の双眼鏡と同様にして眼巾調節を行うことができる。この状態から、操作部材を操作して固定部材を連結腕部に押圧する押圧状態へと変位させると、固定部材を介して左右鏡筒の連結腕部が相互に接合して互いの屈曲動作を拘束する状態となるので、この状態からの左右鏡筒間の不意の屈曲を防止して、使用者が調節した眼巾を確実に固定することができる。   In each of the inventions of claim 1 and below, when the operating member is operated so that the fixing member is separated from the connecting arm portion of the binoculars, the connecting arm portion of each lens barrel is bent around its connecting axis. Therefore, the user can adjust the width of the eyelid in the same manner as conventional binoculars. From this state, when the operating member is operated and displaced to a pressing state in which the fixing member is pressed against the connecting arm portion, the connecting arm portions of the left and right lens barrels are joined to each other via the fixing member to perform a bending operation. Since it is in a restrained state, it is possible to prevent unexpected bending between the left and right lens barrels from this state, and to securely fix the eye width adjusted by the user.

このようにして一度眼巾を固定すると、再び操作部材を操作して固定部材を離隔可能な状態にしない限りは、双眼鏡は使用者が設定した一定の眼巾に固定されるので、例えば夜間の天体観測時など眼巾調節が煩わしい条件下での双眼鏡使用が予定される場合には、使用前に予め眼巾調節してこれを固定しておくことで、使用中の眼巾変動を確実に防止して、双眼鏡を快適に使用し続けることができる。   Once the width of the eyelid is fixed in this way, the binoculars are fixed at a constant width set by the user unless the operation member is operated again to make the fixing member separable. When binoculars are planned to be used under conditions where eye width adjustment is troublesome, such as when observing astronomical objects, it is possible to adjust the eye width before use to fix the eye width fluctuations during use. Therefore, the binoculars can be used comfortably.

以下、この発明による双眼鏡の眼巾固定装置のいくつかの実施形態につき図面を参照しながら説明する。なお各実施形態間で共通する部分には同一の符号を付して示すこととする。   Hereinafter, several embodiments of a binocular optic pinion fixing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, suppose that the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and shown to the part which is common between each embodiment.

図1〜図3はこの発明による眼巾固定装置の第1の実施形態を示している。図において、1は双眼鏡を、2は眼巾固定装置を示している。双眼鏡1は、左眼用の鏡筒11aと右眼用の鏡筒11bのそれぞれから対向的に延設した連結腕部12aと12bとを、光軸中心線と並行に位置するように各鏡筒間に設けた連結軸13(図3参照)を介して相互に連結してなり、連結軸13を中心として左右の鏡筒11a、11bを屈曲作動させることにより眼巾調節ができるように構成された一般的な構造のものである。なお、図では双眼鏡1はその一部のみを示しており、各鏡筒11a、11bの外観や構造は略図として描いてある。   1 to 3 show a first embodiment of an eyepiece fixation device according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 indicates binoculars, and 2 indicates an eyepiece fixing device. The binoculars 1 are configured so that the connecting arm portions 12a and 12b extending oppositely from the left-eye lens barrel 11a and the right-eye lens barrel 11b are positioned in parallel with the optical axis center line. It is connected to each other through a connecting shaft 13 (see FIG. 3) provided between the tubes, and is configured so that the eye width can be adjusted by bending the left and right lens barrels 11a and 11b around the connecting shaft 13. It is of a general structure. In the figure, only a part of the binoculars 1 is shown, and the appearance and structure of each of the lens barrels 11a and 11b are drawn as schematic diagrams.

眼巾固定装置2は、図1又は図3に示したように、眼巾固定ノブ21、眼巾固定環22、コイルスプリング23、抜け止めリング24からなっている。この発明との関係では、眼巾固定ノブ21が眼巾操作部材、眼巾固定環22が眼巾固定部材、コイルスプリング23が弾性部材に相当する。   As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, the optic-width fixing device 2 includes a optic-width fixing knob 21, an eye-width fixing ring 22, a coil spring 23, and a retaining ring 24. In relation to the present invention, the optic-eye fixing knob 21 corresponds to the optic-width operating member, the optic-eye fixing ring 22 corresponds to the optic-width fixing member, and the coil spring 23 corresponds to the elastic member.

眼巾固定ノブ21は、外周部に滑り止めの凹凸形状を設けた円筒状のノブ本体21aと、その中央部から軸方向に延設したボルト部21bとからなる。ボルト部21bは先端部付近にのみ雄ネジ部21cを形成し、途中から基端に至るまでの首部分は前記雄ネジ部21cの内径部と同程度又はやや細径の円筒状部21dを所定の長さにわたって形成してある。   The optic-lens fixing knob 21 includes a cylindrical knob body 21a having a non-slip uneven shape on the outer peripheral portion, and a bolt portion 21b extending in the axial direction from the center portion. The bolt portion 21b forms a male screw portion 21c only in the vicinity of the distal end portion, and a neck portion from the middle to the base end has a cylindrical portion 21d having a diameter that is the same as or slightly smaller than the inner diameter portion of the male screw portion 21c. It is formed over the length.

眼巾固定環22は、形状としては、前記ノブ本体21aと略同一外径を有する大径部22aと、これよりもやや外径の小さい小径部22bとをテーパ部22cを介してそれぞれ同一中心線上に位置するように連接した段付き円筒状をしており、その円筒形状の中心部には貫通孔22d(図3参照)を設けてある。大径部22aは、図3に示したように、双眼鏡1への装着状態で連結腕部12a、12bの端面14a、14b(この場合、対物側の端面)に対向する端面部に、多数の係合突起22eを、連結軸13の中心線を包囲するように配設してなる環状部22fを備える。この場合、係合突起22eとしては、三角形断面の突条を放射状に多数設けた構成のセレーションを形成してある。一方、固定環22の小径部22bには、眼巾固定ノブ21に対向する端面に、貫通孔22dを包囲するように、コイルスプリング23を収容する所定深さの環状溝22gを形成してある。   The eyelet fixed ring 22 has a shape in which a large diameter portion 22a having substantially the same outer diameter as the knob main body 21a and a small diameter portion 22b having a slightly smaller outer diameter than the knob main body 21a via the tapered portion 22c. It has a cylindrical shape with steps connected so as to be positioned on a line, and a through hole 22d (see FIG. 3) is provided at the center of the cylindrical shape. As shown in FIG. 3, the large-diameter portion 22a has a large number of end surface portions facing the end surfaces 14a and 14b (in this case, the end surface on the objective side) of the connecting arm portions 12a and 12b when attached to the binoculars 1. The engaging protrusion 22e is provided with an annular portion 22f formed so as to surround the center line of the connecting shaft 13. In this case, as the engaging protrusion 22e, a serration having a configuration in which a large number of triangular protrusions are provided radially is formed. On the other hand, an annular groove 22g having a predetermined depth for accommodating the coil spring 23 is formed on the small diameter portion 22b of the fixed ring 22 on the end surface facing the optic-width fixing knob 21 so as to surround the through hole 22d. .

眼巾固定環22の貫通孔22dは、ボルト部21bの雄ネジ部21cと螺合する雌ネジとなっている。この眼巾固定装置2は、眼巾固定ノブ21と眼巾固定環22との間にコイルスプリング23を介装した状態で、ボルト部21bを雌ネジである貫通孔22dにねじ込んでゆくことで組み立てられる。ボルト部21bの雄ネジ部21cをある程度貫通孔22dにねじ込んでゆくと、この雄ネジ部21cが貫通孔22dを脱したところで貫通孔22dがボルト部21bの円筒状部21dと嵌合する状態になる。この状態では眼巾固定環22は軸方向への移動を制限されつつ眼巾固定ノブ21との間で相対回転可能である。ただし、ボルト部21bの円筒状部21dは、眼巾固定環22の貫通孔22dよりも所定長さd(図3参照)だけ長く形成してあるので、その分だけ軸方向への変位が許容される。前記所定長さdは、前述した係合突起22eの突条の高さよりも大きい。また、この組立て状態ではボルト部21bの雄ネジ部21cが、眼巾固定環22の大径部22a(環状部22f)の端面よりも軸方向に突出するようにボルト部21bの長さを決めてある。   The through-hole 22d of the eyepiece fixed ring 22 is a female screw that is screwed with the male screw portion 21c of the bolt portion 21b. In this state of the arterial fixation device 2, a bolt portion 21 b is screwed into a through hole 22 d which is a female screw in a state where a coil spring 23 is interposed between the eyesight fixation knob 21 and the eyepiece fixation ring 22. Assembled. When the male screw portion 21c of the bolt portion 21b is screwed into the through hole 22d to some extent, when the male screw portion 21c is removed from the through hole 22d, the through hole 22d is fitted into the cylindrical portion 21d of the bolt portion 21b. Become. In this state, the width of the eyelid fixation ring 22 can be relatively rotated with respect to the width of the eyepiece fixation knob 21 while being restricted from moving in the axial direction. However, since the cylindrical portion 21d of the bolt portion 21b is formed longer than the through hole 22d of the optic-eye fixed ring 22 by a predetermined length d (see FIG. 3), displacement in the axial direction is allowed accordingly. Is done. The predetermined length d is larger than the height of the protrusion of the engagement protrusion 22e described above. In this assembled state, the length of the bolt portion 21b is determined so that the male screw portion 21c of the bolt portion 21b protrudes in the axial direction from the end surface of the large-diameter portion 22a (annular portion 22f) of the eyepiece fixed ring 22. It is.

前述の組立て状態ではボルト部21bの雄ネジ部21cが雌ネジ状の貫通孔22dに対して抜け止めとなるので、通常は眼巾固定ノブ21が眼巾固定環22から抜け落ちてしまうことはない。ただし、例えば後述する双眼鏡1への装着時には、眼巾固定環22が回転を拘束された状態で眼巾固定ノブ21を緩み方向に回転させると、コイルスプリング23の張力が作用しているので、そのままでは雄ネジ部21cと貫通孔22dのねじ部同士が係合して、眼巾固定ネジ21が抜け出てきてしまう可能性がある。そこで、この実施形態では、雄ネジ部21の基部に抜け止めリング24を嵌装して、前述のような抜け出し現象を防止するようにしている。抜け止めリング24としてこの実施形態ではOリングを適用しているが、この他に例えばCリングやEリングなどのスナップリングを適用することもできる。   In the assembled state described above, the male screw portion 21c of the bolt portion 21b is prevented from coming off from the female screw-shaped through hole 22d, and therefore, the eyepiece fixing knob 21 does not normally fall out of the eyepiece fixing ring 22. . However, for example, when attached to the binoculars 1 to be described later, if the optic-width fixing knob 21 is rotated in the loosening direction with the optic-eye fixing ring 22 constrained to rotate, the tension of the coil spring 23 acts. If it is as it is, the thread part of the male thread part 21c and the through-hole 22d may engage, and the optic-lens fixing screw 21 may come out. Therefore, in this embodiment, the retaining ring 24 is fitted to the base portion of the male screw portion 21 so as to prevent the aforementioned withdrawal phenomenon. In this embodiment, an O-ring is used as the retaining ring 24, but a snap ring such as a C ring or an E ring can also be applied.

双眼鏡1の連結軸13の対物側の端部には、図2又は図3に示したように、同軸的に雌ネジ部13aを形成してある。この雌ネジ部13aは、眼巾固定装置2の眼巾固定ノブ21に設けたボルト部21b(雄ネジ部21c)と螺合するように同一規格のネジで形成してある。また、左右連結腕部の端面14a、14bには、雌ネジ部13aを包囲するように、眼巾固定環22の係合突起22eと係合する突起状の係合部15a、15bをそれぞれ形成してある。係合部15a、15bは、環状の係合突起22eと対応するようにそれぞれ円弧状に配列された多数の三角形状の突条からなる。この場合、前記係合部15a、15bはそれぞれ連結腕部端面14a、14bに一体的に形成してあるが、これらを別部品として形成し、例えば接着やネジ止めにより連結腕部端面14a、14bに取り付けるようにしてもよい。また、眼巾固定時の確実性及び強度が許す限り、前記係合部15a又は15bはそれぞれより少ない数、例えば最小限1個の突条であってもよい。   As shown in FIG. 2 or 3, a female screw portion 13 a is coaxially formed at the objective end of the connecting shaft 13 of the binoculars 1. The female screw portion 13a is formed of a screw of the same standard so as to be screwed with a bolt portion 21b (male screw portion 21c) provided on the optic-width fixing knob 21 of the optic-eye fixing device 2. In addition, on the end surfaces 14a and 14b of the left and right connecting arm portions, projecting engagement portions 15a and 15b that engage with the engagement projections 22e of the eyelid fixing ring 22 are formed so as to surround the female screw portion 13a. It is. The engaging portions 15a and 15b are formed of a large number of triangular protrusions arranged in an arc shape so as to correspond to the annular engaging protrusion 22e. In this case, the engaging portions 15a and 15b are integrally formed on the connecting arm end surfaces 14a and 14b, respectively, but these are formed as separate parts, for example, by connecting or screwing the connecting arm end surfaces 14a and 14b. You may make it attach to. In addition, as long as the certainty and strength at the time of eyelid fixation allow, the engaging portions 15a or 15b may be a smaller number, for example, a minimum of one protrusion.

次に、この眼巾固定装置2の使用要領について説明すると、まず前述した組立て状態の眼巾固定装置2を、図2又は図3に示したように、そのボルト部21bを連結軸13の雌ネジ部13aにねじ込むことで双眼鏡1に装着する。このとき、眼巾固定ノブ21をその回転が止まるところまで締め込むと、眼巾固定ノブ21と双眼鏡1の連結腕部端面14a、14bの間に眼巾固定環22が固定されてその軸方向への移動が拘束された状態(押圧状態)になる。この状態では、眼巾固定環22の係合突起22eと、連結腕部端面上の係合部15a、15bとが相互に噛み合って相対回転を拘束するので、連結軸13を中心とする左右鏡筒11a、11bの屈曲作動を行うことはできず、即ち眼巾は固定される。   Next, the usage procedure of the eyelid fixing device 2 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2 or 3, the assembled eyelid fixing device 2 is connected to the bolt portion 21 b of the female connecting shaft 13. It mounts | wears with the binoculars 1 by screwing in the screw part 13a. At this time, when the eyeball fixing knob 21 is tightened until the rotation stops, the eyelid fixing ring 22 is fixed between the eyelid fixing knob 21 and the connecting arm end faces 14a and 14b of the binoculars 1, and the axial direction thereof is fixed. The movement to is restricted (pressed state). In this state, the engagement projection 22e of the eyelid fixed ring 22 and the engagement portions 15a and 15b on the end surface of the connecting arm portion mesh with each other to restrain relative rotation. The cylinders 11a and 11b cannot be bent, that is, the eye width is fixed.

前述の眼巾を固定した状態から眼巾調節が可能な状態にするには2通りの方法がある。第1には、眼巾固定ノブ21を緩み方向に回転させて、係合突起22eと係合部15a、15bとの噛み合いが外れる位置まで眼巾固定環22を移動させる方法である。眼巾固定環22はコイルスプリング23により係合部15a、15bの方向に付勢されているが、この付勢力による変位量は抜け止めリング24を介して制約されているので、眼巾固定ノブ21を緩めてゆくと途中から眼巾固定ノブ21と共に眼巾固定環22が軸方向に移動して、前述のように係合突起22eと係合部15a、15bとの係合を外すことができる。これにより、眼巾固定環22を介しての左右連結腕部14a、14bの係合状態が解かれるので、鏡筒11a、11bを連結軸13を中心として屈曲作動させることによる眼巾調節が可能になる。   There are two methods for changing the above-mentioned eye width from a fixed state to a state in which the eye width can be adjusted. The first method is to rotate the collateral width fixing knob 21 in the loosening direction and move the lenticule fixing ring 22 to a position where the engagement protrusion 22e is disengaged from the engagement portions 15a and 15b. The width of the eyelid fixing ring 22 is urged in the direction of the engaging portions 15a and 15b by the coil spring 23. Since the displacement due to this urging force is restricted via the retaining ring 24, the eyelid fixation knob When the needle 21 is loosened, the eyeball fixing ring 22 moves in the axial direction together with the eyepiece fixing knob 21 in the middle, and the engagement between the engaging protrusion 22e and the engaging portions 15a and 15b can be released as described above. it can. As a result, the engagement state of the left and right connecting arm portions 14a and 14b via the collateral width fixing ring 22 is released, so that the optic axis can be adjusted by bending the lens barrels 11a and 11b about the connecting shaft 13. become.

眼巾固定状態から眼巾調節を可能にするための第2の方法は、前述した押圧状態から眼巾固定ノブ21を途中まで緩めて、眼巾固定環22がコイルスプリング23の張力のみで連結腕部14a、14bに当接する状態にする方法である。このときに眼巾固定ノブ21を緩める量は、緩めてゆく過程でノブ21に追従して眼巾固定環22が移動し始める直前の位置、又は眼巾固定装置2を双眼鏡1に取り付ける際に、眼巾固定ノブ21の締め付けの過程で眼巾固定環22が連結腕部端面14a、14bに当接し始める位置(図3に示した位置)を目安とする。この状態で左右の鏡筒11a、11bを持って屈曲作動させようとすると、このときに眼巾固定環22の係合突起22eと係合部15a、15bとの間に生じる軸方向力に基づき、眼巾固定環22がコイルスプリング23の張力に抗して連結腕部端面14a、14bから離隔する方向に移動するので、係合突起22eと係合部15a、15bが互いの突条を乗り越えながら相対回転することが可能になる。これにより、左右鏡筒11a、11bを屈曲作動させることによる眼巾調節が可能になる。この第2の方法によれば、前述したように係合突起22eと係合部15a、15bが互いの突条を乗り越える際にいわゆるクリック音を生じる。使用者が眼巾調節する際には、このクリック音の回数を目安として調節量を決めることができるので、例えば夜間であっても眼巾目盛りを確認することなく使用者に合った眼巾に速やかに調節できるなど、より良い操作性が得られる。   The second method for adjusting the width of the eyelid from the state of fixing the eyepiece is to loosen the eyepiece fixing knob 21 halfway from the pressed state, and the eyepiece fixing ring 22 is connected only by the tension of the coil spring 23. In this method, the arm portions 14a and 14b are brought into contact with each other. At this time, the amount of loosening of the eyepiece fixing knob 21 is the position immediately before the eyepiece fixing ring 22 starts to move following the knob 21 in the process of loosening, or when attaching the eyepiece fixing device 2 to the binoculars 1. The position (the position shown in FIG. 3) where the width of the eyelid fixation ring 22 starts to come into contact with the connecting arm end faces 14a and 14b in the process of tightening the eyepiece fixation knob 21 is taken as a guide. In this state, if the left and right lens barrels 11a and 11b are held to bend and operate, the axial force generated between the engaging projection 22e and the engaging portions 15a and 15b of the eyelet fixing ring 22 at this time is based on the axial force. The eyelid fixing ring 22 moves against the tension of the coil spring 23 in a direction away from the connecting arm end faces 14a and 14b, so that the engaging protrusion 22e and the engaging portions 15a and 15b get over the protrusions of each other. The relative rotation is possible. As a result, it is possible to adjust the eye width by bending the left and right lens barrels 11a and 11b. According to the second method, as described above, a so-called click sound is generated when the engaging protrusion 22e and the engaging portions 15a and 15b get over the protrusions of each other. When the user adjusts the width of the eyelid, the amount of adjustment can be determined using the number of clicks as a guide. For example, even at night, the eyelid width can be adjusted to the user without checking the width of the eyepiece. Better operability such as quick adjustment is obtained.

この実施形態では、眼巾固定環22を双眼鏡1の連結腕部端面14a、14bに対して前述のように押圧し又は離隔する状態に制御するために、眼巾固定ノブ21をボルト部21bと雌ネジ13aとによるネジ係合を介して進退させる構成としている。このようなネジ係合の構造は簡潔で作動性がよいという利点があることに加えて、双眼鏡への適用がより容易になるという利点もある。即ち、多くの双眼鏡はその連結軸の一端部(通常は対物側の端部)に、双眼鏡を三脚に固定するための三脚アダプター(「双眼鏡ホルダー」ともいう。)を固定する共通規格のネジ穴を初めから備えている。このような双眼鏡においては、そのネジ穴を前記雌ネジ部13aとして利用できるので、連結腕部14a、14bに係合部15a、15bを設けるという最小限の改造のみで前記眼巾固定装置2を適用することが可能である。なお、前記三脚アダプターは周知のものであって、その典型例が特許文献1の図6に「取付治具21」として示されている。   In this embodiment, in order to control the collateral width fixing ring 22 to be pressed or separated from the connecting arm end faces 14a and 14b of the binoculars 1 as described above, the lenticule fixing knob 21 and the bolt portion 21b are controlled. It is configured to advance and retract through screw engagement with the female screw 13a. In addition to the advantage that such a screw engagement structure is simple and easy to operate, there is also an advantage that it is easier to apply to binoculars. That is, many binoculars have a common standard screw hole for fixing a tripod adapter (also called a “binocular holder”) for fixing the binoculars to a tripod at one end of the connecting shaft (usually the end on the objective side). From the beginning. In such binoculars, the screw hole can be used as the female screw portion 13a. Therefore, the eyelid fixing device 2 can be used only by a minimum modification such that the engaging portions 15a and 15b are provided on the connecting arm portions 14a and 14b. It is possible to apply. The tripod adapter is well known, and a typical example is shown as “attachment jig 21” in FIG.

ところで、この実施形態では眼巾固定環22の係合突起22eを環状部22fに全周的に設けると共に、この係合突起22eと係合する2つの係合部15a、15bをそれぞれ左右の連結腕部12a、12bに設けているが、係合部15a又は15bについては何れか一方のみでもよく、係合突起22eについても係合させる必要のある角度範囲(眼巾調節のために必要な屈曲角度の範囲)にわたって限定的に設けたものであってもよい。図4はそのように構成した第2の実施形態を示している。   By the way, in this embodiment, the engaging projection 22e of the eyelid fixing ring 22 is provided on the entire circumference of the annular portion 22f, and the two engaging portions 15a and 15b that engage with the engaging projection 22e are connected to the left and right respectively. Although it is provided on the arms 12a and 12b, only one of the engaging portions 15a or 15b may be used, and the angle range that needs to be engaged with the engaging protrusion 22e (bending required for adjusting the eye width) It may be provided in a limited manner over a range of angles. FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment having such a configuration.

図4において、この眼巾固定装置2は、一方の鏡筒11aの連結腕部端面14aにのみ突起部15aを設け、これと係合する眼巾固定環22の係合突起22eを前述の通り必要な角度範囲についてのみ環状部22fに設けてある。また、他方の鏡筒11bについては、その連結腕部端面14bに連結軸13と並行にピン穴15を設けると共に、このピン穴16に摺動自由に嵌合するピン26を眼巾固定環22の環状部22fに設けている。この実施形態によれば、眼巾固定環22が鏡筒11bに対してはピン26とピン穴16との嵌合に基づいて常時回り止めされた状態であるが、鏡筒11aに対しては前記第1の実施形態と同様にして眼巾固定ノブ21の操作に基づき連結軸13を中心とする左右鏡筒間の屈曲作動を拘束し又は開放する機能を発揮するので、眼巾の固定又はその解除が可能である。なお、双眼鏡に対して眼巾固定装置2の着脱を頻繁に行う場合には、双眼鏡への装着時に眼巾固定環22の位置決めをする必要の無い第1の実施形態の構成が有利である。   In FIG. 4, the eyepiece fixing device 2 is provided with a protrusion 15 a only on the connecting arm end face 14 a of one of the lens barrels 11 a, and the engaging protrusion 22 e of the eyepiece fixing ring 22 that engages with this is as described above. Only the necessary angle range is provided in the annular portion 22f. For the other lens barrel 11b, a pin hole 15 is provided on the end surface 14b of the connecting arm in parallel with the connecting shaft 13, and a pin 26 that is slidably fitted into the pin hole 16 is provided with an eyepiece fixed ring 22. The annular portion 22f is provided. According to this embodiment, the optic-lens fixed ring 22 is always prevented from rotating with respect to the lens barrel 11b based on the fitting of the pin 26 and the pin hole 16, but with respect to the lens barrel 11a. In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the function of restraining or releasing the bending operation between the left and right lens barrels around the connecting shaft 13 based on the operation of the optic-width fixing knob 21 is exhibited. It can be released. In addition, when attaching / detaching the optic-width fixing device 2 to / from the binoculars frequently, the configuration of the first embodiment that does not require the positioning of the optic-width fixing ring 22 when attached to the binoculars is advantageous.

図5はこの発明の第3の実施形態を示している。これは眼巾固定環22の環状部22fに環状の摩擦部材27を設け、眼巾固定環22を押圧状態としたときの摩擦部材27と双眼鏡(連結腕部端面14a、14b。図3参照。)との間に生じる摩擦力に基づいて眼巾固定を図るようにしたものである。摩擦部材27としては、例えばゴム、皮革、軟質の合成樹脂材など、双眼鏡の連結腕部端面に押圧したときに所要の摩擦力を生じる材料を適用する。この実施形態においては、コイルスプリング23は必ずしも設ける必要はなく、また摩擦部材27を設ける代わりに、眼巾固定環22自体をゴムなどの高摩擦係数の材料で形成するようにしてもよい。この実施形態によれば、双眼鏡側に前述の実施形態で示したような係合部(15a、15b)を必ずしも設ける必要がないので、三脚アダプターを固定するためのネジ穴を備えた双眼鏡であれば、何らの改造を要することなく適用することができる。また、眼巾固定ノブ21の締め付け量に応じて左右連結腕部に対する摩擦力を加減できるので、例えば長期使用により連結軸の締め付けが甘くなってしまった双眼鏡に適用することにより、適度な摩擦力を付与して眼巾調節時の操作感を改善することもできる。   FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In this case, an annular friction member 27 is provided on the annular portion 22f of the eyelid fixed ring 22, and the friction member 27 and binoculars (the connecting arm portion end surfaces 14a and 14b, see FIG. 3) when the eyelid fixed ring 22 is pressed. ) Is fixed based on the frictional force generated between the two. As the friction member 27, for example, a material that generates a required frictional force when pressed against the connecting arm end face of binoculars, such as rubber, leather, or a soft synthetic resin material, is applied. In this embodiment, the coil spring 23 does not necessarily need to be provided, and instead of providing the friction member 27, the optic-lens fixed ring 22 itself may be formed of a material having a high friction coefficient such as rubber. According to this embodiment, since it is not always necessary to provide the engaging portions (15a, 15b) as shown in the previous embodiment on the binoculars side, the binoculars provided with screw holes for fixing the tripod adapter may be used. It can be applied without any modification. In addition, since the frictional force on the left and right connecting arm portions can be adjusted according to the tightening amount of the eyepiece fixing knob 21, for example, by applying to binoculars where the tightening of the connecting shaft has become loose due to long-term use, an appropriate frictional force can be obtained. It is also possible to improve the operational feeling when adjusting the width of the eyes.

前述した各実施形態は、眼巾固定装置2を双眼鏡の対物側の連結腕部端面に装着する例として説明してきたが、もちろん装着位置はこれに限られるものではない。例えば左右鏡筒の連結軸部分にフォーカスリングなどの焦点調節機構を持たない、いわゆるIF方式の双眼鏡では、図6に示したように双眼鏡1の鏡筒11a、11bの対物側に位置する連結腕部12a、12bと接眼側に位置する連結腕部12c、12dとの間に大きなスペースを有することがあり、このような構造においては各連結腕部12a、12b又は12c、12dの前後端面(図の矢印A,B,C,Dで示した位置)の何れにも眼巾固定装置2を装着することが可能である。   Each of the above-described embodiments has been described as an example in which the colposcope 2 is mounted on the end surface of the connecting arm on the objective side of the binoculars, but the mounting position is not limited to this. For example, in a so-called IF-type binocular that does not have a focus adjustment mechanism such as a focus ring in the connecting shaft portion of the left and right lens barrels, as shown in FIG. 6, the connecting arms positioned on the objective side of the lens barrels 11a and 11b of the binoculars 1 There may be a large space between the connecting portions 12a and 12b and the connecting arm portions 12c and 12d located on the eyepiece side. In such a structure, the front and rear end surfaces of the connecting arm portions 12a and 12b or 12c and 12d (see FIG. It is possible to attach the eyelid fixing device 2 to any of the positions indicated by arrows A, B, C, and D.

また、前記各実施形態は眼巾固定装置2を双眼鏡1に対して着脱自在に構成した例を示したものであるが、もちろんこの発明に係る眼巾固定装置は図7に示したように双眼鏡に作り付けの構造としてもよい。図7に示した双眼鏡1は、いわゆるCF方式であり、連結軸13と同軸的に設けたフォーカスリング17を回転させることにより左右の接眼部18a、18bを同時に前後移動させて焦点調節を行うようにしたものである。この種の双眼鏡1では、2組の連結腕部12a、12bと12c、12dとの間に連結軸13と同軸的に中空軸19を設け、この中空軸19に送りネジ機構などからなる前述した焦点調節のための機構を内蔵させている。この実施形態では、対物側の連結腕部12a、12bの内側端面に対向するように前記中空軸19と同軸的に眼巾固定装置2を組み付けている。この場合、前記中空軸19の外周部に形成したネジとの係合に基づいて眼巾固定ノブ21を進退させるようにすれば、図1〜図3等に示した実施形態と同様にして眼巾固定環22の変位を制御して眼巾の固定又はその解除を行うことができる。   In addition, each of the above embodiments shows an example in which the magnifying glass fixing device 2 is configured to be detachable with respect to the binoculars 1. Of course, the magnifying glass fixing device according to the present invention has binoculars as shown in FIG. It may be a built-in structure. The binoculars 1 shown in FIG. 7 is a so-called CF system, and the focus adjustment is performed by simultaneously moving the left and right eyepieces 18a and 18b back and forth by rotating a focus ring 17 provided coaxially with the connecting shaft 13. It is what I did. In this type of binoculars 1, the hollow shaft 19 is provided coaxially with the connecting shaft 13 between the two sets of connecting arm portions 12 a, 12 b and 12 c, 12 d, and the hollow shaft 19 includes a feed screw mechanism or the like described above. It has a built-in mechanism for focus adjustment. In this embodiment, the eyelid fixing device 2 is assembled coaxially with the hollow shaft 19 so as to face the inner end faces of the connecting arm portions 12a, 12b on the objective side. In this case, if the eye width fixing knob 21 is advanced and retracted based on the engagement with the screw formed on the outer peripheral portion of the hollow shaft 19, the eye is similar to the embodiment shown in FIGS. The displacement of the width fixing ring 22 can be controlled to fix or release the eye width.

なお、前記各実施形態は、眼巾固定環を連結腕部の端面に対して押圧する状態又は離隔する状態へとその変位を制御するために、眼巾固定ノブをネジ係合に基づいて進退させるようにした例を示したものであるが、このような作用を得るための手段はネジ機構に限られるものではなく、例えばカム機構やクランプ機構を適用することも可能である。前記の点をも含めて、各実施形態はこの発明のいくつかの構成例を示したものであるに過ぎず、この発明の技術的範囲がこれら実施形態の内容に限定されるものではないことは言うまでもない。   In each of the embodiments described above, in order to control the displacement of the collateral width fixing ring to the state where it is pressed against or separated from the end surface of the connecting arm portion, the lenticule fixing knob is advanced and retracted based on screw engagement. Although an example is shown, the means for obtaining such an action is not limited to the screw mechanism, and for example, a cam mechanism or a clamp mechanism can be applied. Including the above points, each embodiment is merely an example of some configurations of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of these embodiments.
