(Cl. 95-64) The present invent-ion relates to a lens diaphragm actuating mechanism by means of which a plurality of diaphragm blades, or lamellae, are pivotedabout moving points between maximum and minimum diaphragm aperture settings by means of a setting ring which 1s obliged to move through only a relatively small operating angle, the blades being so arranged that, in spite of being set by a small movement of the setting ring, they operate with a relatively low moment of adjustment: I
In diaphragms of the general type of this invention, cams have been provided with different slopes for setting the diaphragm blades. In the positions of these blades corresponding to the largest values of the diaphragm apertures, for example from 2.8 to 4, the blades have to travel a comparatively long distance, and the operating cams therefore have comparatively steep slopes, reaching almost the limit of being self-arresting. As a result the forces required for moving the diaphragm blades must be relatively large.
The present invention solves the problem of permitting relatively large movement of the diaphragm blades with relatively small movement of the control, or setting, member and with relatively small torque on the setting member and on the blades by providing two adjusting pins for each of the blades. These pins extend through guide slots, of which there is at least one, or one section, for each diaphragm blade. In addition the pins extend through more or less radially extending slots. 'Ihe radially extending slots are in one member and the guide slots are in another member and relative rotational movenient of one of these members with respect to the other causes the two pins for each blade to move in such a way as to'pivot the'blade inwardly or outwardly, depending on the direction of the relative motion of the one member. The blades thus have no iixed pivot axle and the two movable pivot points may be relatively far apart, which tends to reduce the force required to pivo't'v the blades while at the same time the oatin-g pivot point of each of the blades `permits Vfull movement of the blades between maximum and minimum aperture settings with only a relatively small motion of one of the setting members with-respect to the other.
Considered in greater detail, the invention provides guide slots arranged in a ring which is firmly connected to the diaphragm housingwhile radial slots are provided in a diaphragm setting ring. The ring in which the guide slots are formed ,maycomprise the bottom of the diaphragm housing.'
In another embodiment' of the invention,` a variant ofthe foregoing arrangement is set forthin which the radial slots are formed in a'ring firmly connected in the diaphragm housing whereas the guide slots are yarranged in the ring that is used as the diaphragm setting member. In this case it is advantageous to have the ring in which the radial slots are formed also be the bottom of the diaphragm housing.
In order to provide for freedom of choice of the arrangement of the guide slots, it is possible that these slots may be formed either as a single slot or as two slots for each diaphragm blade.
The invention is described hereinafter with respect to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a diaphragm housing with its cover removed and with parts broken away to show a diaphragm setting ring and two diaphragm blades in their open position, the guide slots by which the blades are set being arranged in the bottom of the housing and being in the form of continuous slots;
FIG. 2 shows the housing of FIG. l with the cover removed and the diaphragm blades set to the position corresponding to the smallest diaphragm aperture;
FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the diaphragm housing of FIG. l along the line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a da phragm blade along the line 4 4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is another embodiment of the invention cor responding to FIG. 1 but with a modification of the control members;
FIG. 6` shows the apparatus of FIG. 5 with the diaphragm blades set for the smallest aperture; and
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the housing of FIG. 5 along the line 7 7.
FIGS. l to 3 show the bottom 1 of a housing for a lens diaphragm having an edge 1a for concentrically guiding a diaphragm setting ring 2. A cover 3 is attached to the edge la by means of several machine screws 4'.
The diaphragm housing may be built into a shutter housing of a photographic camera in accordance with known forms of construction, although the shutter housing is not shown for reasons of clarity. Several diaphragm blades 5, each rotatably mounted, are associated with the diaphragm setting ring 2.
As may be seen in the drawings, the adjusting movements of the diaphragm blades 5 are effected by turning the diaphragm setting ring 2 which has an arm 2a provided for this purpose. This arm may be operatively connected to a manually operable diaphragm member, or control, on the camera shutter or to a sensing slide of an automatic exposure system built into the camera. The arm 2a extends through an opening 1b in the edge 1a of the housing bottom 1. The circumferential dimension of this opening is determined by the movement of the arm necessary for setting the range of diaphragm values, for example, values from 2.8 to 22.
Each of the blades 5 is connected to the diaphragm setting ring 2 and to the housing 1 by a pair of adjusting pins 5a and 5b, which engage in separate slots, one for each diaphragm blade, 1c formed in the bottom of the housing 1. While the slots shown are in the form of an elongated S, these slots may also be developed as two individual slots. The curvature of each of the slots 1c is calculated to transform the rotary motion of the diaphragm setting ring 2 and its arm 2a with respect to the motion of the diaphragm bladesV 5 into a linear relationship. In order to transmit the rotary movement of the adjusting ring 2 to the blades 5, one of the two adjusting pins 5a and 5b, and preferably pin 5a, lits into a slot 2b in the ring. The latter slot extends lapproximately radially with respect to the center of the diaphragm. The second pin 5b of each blade 5 extends through a slot 2c which is'large enough so that it merely serves as a passage for the pinion and does not interfere with the motion thereof.
In FIG. l, the blades 5, of which only two of the ve actually included in a preferred embodiment, are shown, and these lblades are in positions corresponding to the full diaphragm aperture 6. When the blades are so positioned, the arm 2a engages one end of the opening 1b while the adjusting pins 5a and 5b occupy the positions shown in the guide slots 1c. The arm 2a may be rotated to rotate the diaphragm ring either manually or by means of engagement with a sensing slide of an automatic exposure system, as stated hereinabove. This rotation causes the pins w to move radially outwardly in the slots 2b as these pins, together with the pins 5b traverse the guide slots 1c. The engagement of the pins 5a and 5b into the individu-al diaphragm blades 5 causes these blades 5 to pivot inwardly toward the center of the diaphragm aperture 6 until the diaphragm aperture reaches its smallest value as shown in FIG. 2. This figure shows all of the diaphragm blades and thus lthe contour of the smallest diaphragm aperture can be made out quite clearly. When the diaphragm blades reach the position of smallest aperture, the arm 2a reaches the other end of the opening 1b within which this arm is constrained.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the arrangement of the slots is reversed from the arrangement in FIGS. l to 3. In FIGS. 5 to 7 the bottom of the diaphragm housing is indicated by reference numeral 11 and is provided with an edge 11a. A diaphragm setting ring 12, the motion of which is guided and constrained by the bottom 11 and the edge 11a, has an arm 12a which extends through an opening 11b in the edge. The diaphragm blades, of which there are five in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 to 7, although only two are shown for the sake of clarity, are associated with the diaphragm setting `ring 12 to be controlled thereby. Several guide slots 12b, one for each of the blades, are arranged in the diaphragm setting ring 12 and, just as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, these guide slots may be arranged so that there are two for each of the blades rather than one as shown. The position of each of the blades 13 is controlled by a pair of adjusting pins 13a and 13b which extend into the guide slots 12b. Each adjusting pin 13a extends into a substantially radially extending slot 11o in the bottom 11 of the diaphragm housing. In addition, another slot 11d is formed in the bottom 11 adjacent to each of the blades 13, and a second adjusting pin 13b extends through the slot 11d. As in the earlier embodiment, the slot 11d is large enough so that it does not obstruct the motion of the adjusting pin 13b during the setting of the diaphragm blades 13. Because of the arrangement of a slot 11d for each of the adjusting pins 13b, the latter can be made just as long as each of the adjusting pins 13a, which prevents the pins 13b from being removed from engagement with the guide slot 12b. The slots 11d may be dispensed with if the dimensions of the adjusting pins 13b are shortened accordingly. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 the guide slot 12b is so shaped that the motion of the diaphragm blades 13 is made relatively linear. A cover 14 fixed by means of screws 15 to the edge 11a of the bottom 11 is provided for the axial guiding of the diaphragm setting ring 12 and the blades 13. The function of the diaphragm shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 is similar to that of the arrangement of FIGS. 1 to 4, so that no special explanation is deemed to be necessary.
What is claimed is:
1. Diaphragm control apparatus comprising: a plurality of diaphragm blades; a first ring; a second ring concentric with said first ring, at least one of said rings being yrotatable with respect to the other; a guide slot in said first ring; a substantially radial slot in said second ring; a first pin attached to each of said diaphragm blades and extending through both of said slots; and a second pin attached to each of said blades and extending into said guide slot to be engaged thereby.
