Abstract
The present invention is directed to a diaphragm device and, more particularly, to a device for adjusting a position of a guide groove connected to a diaphragm blade to control movement of the diaphragm blade, thereby adjusting a diaphragm opening. The present invention provides a diaphragm device including means for adjusting said diaphragm opening in which a position of a guide groove for defining a reduced opening state of the diaphragm is movable about a pivot axis corresponding to a position of the guide groove where the diaphragm is in full open state, thereby adjusting the opening characteristic at the side of the reduced opening state.
