Diaphragm device

摘要

In a diaphragm device for use in an optical instrument such as a camera and having two or more diaphragm blades movable across an imaging path of rays and arranged in axially displaced relation from each other to define a common aperture of variable size, there is provided means formed in a portion of at least one of the diaphragm blades to substantially either eliminate or reduce the axial displacement between the diaphragm blades at a relatively small aperture region, whereby the distribution of light energy is made uniform over the entire area of the image.
