A camera-attached lens device includes a lens barrel, a mount ring, pins, through holes, a positioning ring, and a fixing member. The lens barrel holds a lens system. The mount ring, attached to the lens barrel, has a tubular fitted portion coupling with the camera and a flange portion around the fitted portion. The pins are on the lens barrel and position a central axis of the mount ring with respect to an optical axis. The through holes are on the flange portion. The positioning ring outer diameter is smaller than a hole diameter of the through holes and has an opening where the pins are fitted. The fixing member fixes the positioning ring inside the through holes. The pins are restricted by the opening of the positioning ring fixed by the fixing member when the mount ring is positioned, positioning the lens barrel with respect to the mount ring.

Lens device

The optical option attachment ring of the present invention includes a rotator having an abutting surface that projects inward from the inner circumferential surface of the ring body and abuts the front end of the lens barrel as well as an arcuate portion that follows the upper end of the abutting surface. The optical option attachment ring further includes a resilient member that applies an urging force to the rotator to rotate in the direction opposite to the above-mentioned rotation direction and a stopper that abuts at least one of the one end and the other end so as to restrict the rotation caused by the urging force of the resilient member.

A lens device in which a first movable lens holding frame and a second movable lens holding frame are moved along an optical axis by rotating a cam cylinder rotatably provided on a lens barrel, an escape channel for escapement of a portion of the second movable lens holding frame being formed in the first movable lens holding frame, the lens device comprising:

A low-angle grip device for holding an ENG camera in desired low-angle positions comprises a grip rod supported at opposite ends by front and rear fixtures secured to the ENG camera body and a camera lens controlling member operated with a thumb of a hand by which the grip rod is grasped. The grip rod at one of its opposite ends is pivotally supported on one of the front and rear fixture, and the grip rod at the other end is tilted upward or downward about the one end by a desired angle and is engaged by the other fixture in the tilted position.

Low-angle grip device for an ENG camera

The present fishing rod comprises a pair of hood portions ( ) which are respectively disposed back and forth in such a manner that they are opposed to each other, while the two hood portions ( ) respectively include openings for receiving the leg of the reel. At least one of the pair of hood portions, that is, the hood portion ( ) is of a movable type, while the movable hood portion ( ) can be moved back and forth as a nut member ( ) is rotated. The present fishing rod further comprises elastic mechanism ( ) and an engaging portion ( ) which are respectively so disposed as to extend between two of three elements, that is, a main body portion ( ) fixedly secured to a rod pipe ( ), the nut member ( ) and movable hood portion ( ): in particular, the elastic mechanism ( ) are formed in one of the above two elements, that is, the main body portion ( ); and, the engaging portion ( ) is formed in the other, that is, the nut member ( ) in such a manner that the elastic mechanism ( ) can be removably engaged with the engaging portion ( ) by a given force. The elastic portion ( ) of the elastic mechanism is formed considerably larger than the engaging portion ( ), or the free portion of the elastic mechanism ( ) that is not restricted by the engaging portion ( ) is formed larger than the portion of the elastic mechanism ( ) that is contacted with and restricted by the engaging portion ( ).

Fishing rod of reel mounting type

A converter unit for a lens unit of a camera, which is able to match optical axes of a plurality of kinds of converter lenses with different magnifications, which are revolvably mounted on a rod, with an optical axis of the lens unit properly. One of the converter lenses is revolvably mounted on the rod by two bearings through a connecting member. One of the bearings is attached on an eccentric external circumference of a collar member attached on the rod. The rotation of the collar member adjusts an eccentric direction of the collar member and the direction of an optical axis of the converter lens.

Reel seat for fishing rod

A film applying apparatus,is provided with preparatory bonding rolls,A,,B and laminating rolls,A,,B, and a laminated film,wound out from a film roll,and a substrate,conveyed by a substrate conveying device,pass between these rolls and pressure bonding is performed. Diameter of the preparatory bonding rolls,A,,B is made smaller than diameter of the laminating rolls,A,,B and range of elastic deformable area S1 at the roll surface at grasping starting of the substrate and the laminated film,by the preparatory bonding rolls,A,,B is made small thereby range of generating, air holding or the like is limited to small.

Film applying apparatus

A film applying apparatus is provided with preparatory bonding rolls, laminating rolls, a laminated film wound out from a film roll and a substrate conveyed by a substrate conveying device. The laminated film passes between these rolls and pressure bonding is performed. The diameter of the preparatory bonding rolls is made smaller than the diameter of the laminating rolls. The range of the elastically deformed area at the roll surface where the grasping of the substrate and the laminated film by the preparatory bonding rolls is begun, is made small, thereby limiting the range and reducing the generated amount of air holding or the like.

In a fishing rod having a reel seat on a rod pipe, the fishing rod has a finger trigger on the side which is opposite to the side where the reel seat is provided, in such a manner that the finger trigger is so positioned and configured as to allow an angler to cast the fishing line while palming the fishing rod and a reel mounted on the reel seat with one hand.

Fishing rod having improved gripping portion

The present invention provides an apparatus and associated method of detecting pattern unevenness in the surface of an object. The apparatus includes a light source for irradiating surfaces of an object and a line sensor camera for detecting unevenness in the surfaces. The method comprises the steps of irradiating a light onto a surface having a pattern formed on the surface thereof, and observing the scattered light from the pattern edge portions, thereby inspecting pattern unevenness by way of the line sensor camera.

Surface pattern unevenness detecting method and apparatus

A small and light TV camera extender switching apparatus which is capable of switching two extenders having different magnifications. A first extender and a second extender are supported by the same support shaft so as to be rotatable independently of each other. The first extender and the second extender are rotated by operating the first operating lever and the second operating lever, respectively, via gear trains, so that either extender is moved from the resting position outside of an imaging optical path to a working position in the imaging optical path. A stopper mechanism which is capable of adjusting a retaining position is disposed on the lens frame or in the case so as to adjust the retaining positions of each extender at the resting position and the working position.
