Claims
- 1. A lens barrel including lens frames movable in an optical axis direction, comprises a plurality of flexible printed substrates, wherein ends of said flexible printed substrates are overlapped with a uniform width in the thickness direction of said flexible printed substrates so that said ends are electrically connected to a plurality of the moving lens frames in said lens barrel, the ends of said flexible printed substrates are electrically connected to said moving lens frames and bent in accordance with the movement of said lens frames, and further a plurality of said flexible printed substrates are formed to shapes which are not overlapped with each other at the bent portions thereof.
- 2. A lens barrel according to claim 1, wherein the bent portion of each of said flexible printed substrates is formed to a U-shape.
- 3. A lens barrel according to claim 1, wherein the bent portion of each of said flexible printed substrates has a width narrower than that of the portion thereof being overlapped.
- 4. A lens barrel according to claim 1, wherein each of said flexible printed substrates is a one side flexible printed substrate.
- 5. A lens barrel according to claim 1, wherein the overlapped portions of said flexible printed substrates are overlapped in the diameter direction of said lens barrel.
- 6. A lens barrel including lens frames movable in an optical axis direction, comprises a plurality of flexible printed substrates, wherein ends of said flexible printed substrates are overlapped with a uniform width in the thickness direction of said flexible printed substrates so that said ends are electrically connected to the moving lens frames in said lens barrel, respectively, the ends of said flexible printed substrates are electrically connected to at least one of said moving lens frames and bent in accordance with the movement of said lens frame, and further a plurality of said flexible printed substrates are formed to shapes which are not overlapped with each other at the bent portions thereof.
- 7. A lens barrel according to claim 6, wherein the bent portion of each of said flexible printed substrates is formed to a U-shape.
- 8. A lens barrel according to claim 6, wherein the bent portion of each of said flexible printed substrates has a width narrower than that of the portion thereof being overlapped.
- 9. A lens barrel according to claim 6, wherein each of said flexible printed substrates is a one side flexible printed substrate.
- 10. A lens barrel according to claim 6, wherein the overlapped portions of said flexible printed substrates are overlapped in the diameter direction of said lens barrel.
