Photographic camera with movable lens mounting - has lens fixed in side of pivoted cylinder sector for compact form when closed

摘要

The camera has a lens mounting movable in the direction of the optical axis. The lens (13) is fitted into one of the flat sides of a cylinder sector (12) which is pivoted about the cylinder axis (11). This cylinder sector (12) is mounted in one of the flat sides of a second cylinder sector (10) of larger radius. The second cylinder sector (10) is pivoted, so as to rotate about its cylinder axis (9), to a rectangular extension (8) projecting from the camera housing (1). The pivot axes (9, 11) of the two cylinders sectors 10, 12) are parallel and lie on opposite sides of the lens (13).
