By the way, when assembling such a dial mechanism, there is no problem in bringing the electrically conductive brush into relative contact with the code plate in the axial direction of the operation dial. However, depending on the camera, an electrical conduction brush can be fixed to the internal components of the camera body to form a sub-assembly.
There is a case in which a code plate is fixed to a tip end of a shaft portion of an operation dial pivotally attached to a front ornament of a camera body so as to be substantially orthogonal to the shaft portion to form a sub-assembly, and both sub-assemblies are relatively moved to be assembled. At the time of this assembly, for example, when the code plate is circular and there is an arc-shaped burr on the peripheral edge, the contact terminals approaching the code plate are caught on the burr and pushed outward in the radial direction of the code plate. May be excluded. Normally, the contact terminal can withstand some deformation due to elasticity in the direction of elastic contact with the code plate, but is weak against the direction of arrangement of the plurality of contact terminals, that is, the deformation of the code plate outward in the radial direction. Therefore, the contact terminal is pressed outward in the radial direction of the code plate by the burr and is plastically deformed, which causes a problem that it cannot normally contact the land portion of the code plate.

It is positioned so as to be parallel to the arrangement direction of c, d) (see arrow B in FIG. 1). In the assembled state, the maximum rotation angle of the cord plate 15 with respect to the contact terminal 22 is set within a range of about 270 ° from the initial rotation position by the regulation means (not shown) (see FIGS. 2 to 8). This is because when the code plate 15 is rotated clockwise beyond the angle shown in FIG. 8, the linear portions 15a and 15b are disengaged from the contact terminals 22 and cannot be returned counterclockwise.

2 are rotated as appropriate so that the linear portions 15a, 1 of the code plate 15
5b is positioned so as to be substantially orthogonal to the relative sliding direction A (see FIG. 1). When the cord plate 15 and the contact terminal 22 approach each other in this state, even if the burr remains on the peripheral portion of the cord plate 15, the straight portion 15 in the introduction section E is formed.
Since the burrs a and 15b are straight lines that are substantially orthogonal to the relative sliding direction A, a force that presses the contact terminal 22 outward in the radial direction of the code plate 15 does not work. Therefore, the four contact terminals 22 (a, b, c, d) are smoothly guided to the land portion 17 side without being deformed, and the land portion 1
It is located at the proper contact position with 7.
