IMAGING APPARATUS HAVING BENDING OPTICAL ELEMENT

摘要

A bending imaging apparatus includes a movable lens group, a motor which drives the movable lens group and includes a lead screw extending parallel to the optical axis, a bending optical element at at least one end of the optical axis, a housing which supports the movable lens group and the bending optical element; a motor support bracket including a motor support portion, a screw support portion, and a planar portion between the motor support portion and the screw support portion and extends alongside the housing; a cover member including a planar portion facing the planar portion of the motor support bracket, and a fixer which fixes the cover member to the housing with a repulsive force generated between the planar portions of the motor support bracket and the cover member with the motor support bracket pressed against the housing.

1. A bending imaging apparatus comprising:
a movable lens group which is movable along an optical axis thereof; a motor which drives said movable lens group and includes a lead screw extending parallel to said optical axis; a bending optical element arranged at at least one end of said optical axis to bend an object-emanating light bundle; a housing which supports said movable lens group and said bending optical element; a motor support bracket which includes a motor support portion that supports said motor, a screw support portion that supports an end of said lead screw, and a planar portion that is positioned between said motor support portion and said screw support portion and extends alongside said housing; a cover member which includes a planar portion facing said planar portion of said motor support bracket; and a fixer which fixes said cover member to said housing with a repulsive force generated to act between said planar portion of said motor support bracket and said planar portion of said cover member and with said motor support bracket pressed against said housing.
