Title:
SIMPLIFIED SHUTTER RELEASE ASSEMBLY AND CAMERA HAVING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003149706
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a simplified shutter release assembly.

The invention relates to a shutter release apparatus for use in a camera for capturing images on a perforated film. The shutter release apparatus has a rotatable thumb wheel movable along an axis between a start position and a trigger position. A sprocket is provided having teeth to engage perforations on the film and to move therewith during film winding. A biased lever is moved by the sprocket against the bias from a position holding the thumb wheel in the start position to a position releasing the thumb wheel for urged movement into the trigger position. The thumb wheel blocks biased movement of the lever when the thumb wheel is in the trigger position and movement of the thumb wheel from the trigger position to the start position releases the lever for biased movement to drive the shutter to expose the film.
