Light amount adjusting device and optical device
A light amount adjusting device includes: a board including an opening; a linear moving blade linearly and movably supported by the board; and a swinging blade swingably supported by the board, wherein: the linear moving blade and the swinging blade are receded from the opening to form a fully opened state; the linear moving blade covers the opening to form a fully closed state; and the swinging blade has a small aperture opening with a diameter smaller than a diameter of the opening, and causes the small aperture opening and the opening to be overlapped with each other to form a small aperture state.
1. A light amount adjusting device comprising:
a board including an opening;
a pair of linear moving blades linearly and movably supported by the board; and
a swinging blade swingably supported by the board,
wherein:
the pair of linear moving blades and the swinging blade are receded from the opening to form a fully opened state;
the pair of linear moving blades covers the opening to form a fully closed state; and
the swinging blade has a small aperture opening with a diameter smaller than a diameter of the opening, and causes the small aperture opening and the opening to be overlapped with each other to form a small aperture state.
2. The light amount adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the board includes a positioning portion positioning the swinging blade when the small aperture opening and the opening are overlapped with each other.
3. The light amount adjusting device of claim 2 , further comprising a drive lever rotating to drive the pair of linear moving blades and the swinging blade,
wherein:
the board includes a restriction portion restricting a rotational range of the drive lever; and the swinging blade is defined by the positioning portion in such a position that the opening and the small aperture opening are overlapped with each other, when the rotation of the drive lever is restricted by the restriction portion.
4. A light amount adjusting device comprising:
a board including an opening;
at least one linear moving blade linearly and movably supported by the board; and
a swinging blade swingably supported by the board,
wherein:
the at least one linear moving blade and the swinging blade are receded from the opening to form a fully opened state;
the at least one linear moving blade covers the opening to form a fully closed state;
the swinging blade has a small aperture opening with a diameter smaller than a diameter of the opening, and causes the small aperture opening and the opening to be overlapped with each other to form a small aperture state; and
the board includes a positioning portion positioning the swinging blade when the small aperture opening and the opening are overlapped with each other,
further comprising a drive lever rotating to drive the at least one linear moving blade and the swinging blade,
wherein:
the at least one linear moving blade includes first and second linear moving blades;
the drive lever includes, an arm portion, and first and second drive pins respectively formed at first and second ends of the arm portion;
the first drive pin engages the first linear moving blade and the swinging blade; and
the second drive pin engages the second linear moving blade.
5. An optical device comprising a light amount adjusting device including:
a board including an opening;
a pair of linear moving blades linearly and movably supported by the board; and
a swinging blade swingably supported by the board,
wherein:
the pair of linear moving blades and the swinging blade are receded from the opening to form a fully opened state;
the pair of linear moving blades covers the opening to form a fully closed state; and
the swinging blade has a small aperture opening with a diameter smaller than a diameter of the opening, and causes the small aperture opening and the opening to be overlapped with each other to form a small aperture state.
