本考案は双眼鏡に関し、特に、ポロプリズムも
しくはポロミラーを用いた双眼鏡における眼幅調
節機構に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to binoculars, and particularly to an interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism in binoculars using a Porro prism or a Porro mirror.
従来の技術
使用者それぞれによつて両眼の間隔は一定でな
いため、双眼鏡には、使用者の両眼の間隔に合致
させるよう左右一対の鏡体の間隔を調節する眼幅
調節機構が不可欠であり、その構成も従来から
種々のものが知られている。BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Since the distance between the eyes of each user is not constant, binoculars must have an interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism that adjusts the distance between the left and right lenses to match the distance between the user's eyes. Various types of configurations have been known.
一方、従来におけるポロプリズムもしくはポロ
ミラーを用いた双眼鏡の左右一対の鏡体は、結合
部材に、対物レンズ及び接眼レンズの光軸と平行
な軸を中心として回動自在に支持されているのが
一般的である。 On the other hand, the pair of left and right mirror bodies of conventional binoculars using Porro prisms or Porro mirrors is generally supported by a coupling member so as to be rotatable about an axis parallel to the optical axes of the objective lens and eyepiece. It is true.
考案が解決しようとする問題点
したがつて従来にあつては、眼幅調節を行うた
めに、各鏡体を接離方向に回動させると、前記各

ある。また、前述のような各鏡体の接離方向への
回動は、使用者が双眼鏡を覗きながら、鏡体を直
接回動して行うのが一般的であり、この操作が煩
雑であるという欠点もあつた。Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, in the past, when each mirror body was rotated in the direction toward and away from each other in order to adjust the interpupillary distance, the optical axes of the objective lenses were also rotated in the direction toward and away from each other. , and the distance between the axes changes. For this reason, it is difficult to accurately adjust the optical axis during assembly, and there are also disadvantages in that it is impossible to integrally mount flat polarizing filters on the left and right sides. In addition, the above-mentioned rotation of each mirror body in the approaching and separating directions is generally performed by the user directly rotating the mirror body while looking through the binoculars, which is a cumbersome operation. There were also drawbacks.
本考案は、このような欠点を解消した双眼鏡の
眼幅調節機構を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a pupil distance adjustment mechanism for binoculars that eliminates such drawbacks.

外に設けたものである。Means for Solving the Problems In binoculars using Porro prisms or Porro mirrors, each objective lens side of a pair of left and right mirrors is rotatably supported on a coupling member at its periphery, while
In order to rotate each mirror body about the optical axis of the objective lens, the eyepiece side of each mirror body is supported by the coupling member on the optical axis of each objective lens via a bearing plate, and The mirror body is formed with a driven portion that engages with the drive member to rotate each mirror body by the drive member supported by the coupling member, and an operating member for operating the drive member is formed on the mirror body. It is provided outside the coupling member.

合部材外に設けた操作部材により行うので、調節
操作が容易となる。Function Since each mirror body is supported to rotate around the optical axis of its objective lens, even if the distance between the optical axes of each eyepiece is changed to adjust the interpupillary distance, the optical axis of each objective lens remains the same. The interpupillary distance is simply rotated at the desired position without changing the distance between the axes, and the interpupillary distance adjustment is performed using an operating member provided outside the coupling member, making the adjustment operation easy.

Attach screws 1 to the fixed wall 4 at positions corresponding to c and 5d.
9, it is supported by the coupling member 1 in a rotatable state about the optical axis 1 of the objective lens. This rotation range is determined by a projecting edge 2 that is protruded from the outer periphery of the objective lens housing 12b of the mirror body 12 along the eyepiece housing 12c shown in FIG.
0 is regulated by contacting the side ends of both upper and lower surfaces 1a and 1b of the coupling member 1. Further, a worm 7 is provided on the outer periphery of the objective lens housing portion 12b.
A gear 21, which is a driven part, is carved so as to mesh with the driven part. Therefore, depending on the direction and amount of rotation of the operating member 9, the mirror body 12 rotates at a predetermined angle clockwise or counterclockwise in FIG. It rotates. Furthermore, an eyepiece cover 22 is provided on the end surface of the eyepiece storage portion 12c.

とができる。Effects As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, it is possible to adjust the interpupillary distance with a simple operation.
Since the optical axis of the objective lens is always in a fixed position even when adjusting interpupillary distance, flat polarizing filters, etc. can be attached to the left and right sides, and optical axis adjustment during assembly is easy. Since the connecting member that supports each mirror body remains stationary even when the interpupillary distance is adjusted, it is possible to provide a hole for attaching a tripod on the lower surface of the connecting member, which provides many excellent effects.
