Claims
- 1. A shutter device comprising:
- shutter blades;
- a shutter base plate having an aperture;
- a flexible printed circuit board electrically connectable to a camera main body, and bonded to said shutter base plate;
- a shutter drive mechanism arranged in the vicinity of said aperture and bonded to said shutter base plate for driving said shutter blades; and
- electrical parts arranged in the vicinity of said aperture and on said flexible printed circuit board at an area other than the area of arrangement of said shutter drive mechanism for detecting a state of said shutter blades;
- said flexible printed circuit board being connected to said shutter drive mechanism and said electrical parts and continuously arranged along the periphery of said aperture.
- 2. A shutter device according to claim 1, wherein said electrical parts detect a traveling state of said shutter blades.
- 3. A shutter device according to claim 1, wherein said shutter drive mechanism is arranged in the vicinity of one side of said aperture, and said electrical parts are arranged in the vicinity of the opposite side to said one side.
- 4. A flexible printed circuit board comprising:
- a surface portion mountable on a shutter base plate having an aperture, said surface portion having a shape which circumscribes said aperture;
- a first conductor element, formed on said flexible printed circuit board along a first portion of said aperture, for electrical connection with a shutter drive mechanism arranged on said shutter base plate;
- a second conductor element, formed on said flexible printed circuit board along a second portion of said aperture, for electrical connection with a shutter state detector arranged on said shutter base plate; and
- a third conductor element, formed on said flexible printed circuit board at a different area from the areas occupied by said first and second conductor elements of said flexible printed circuit board, for electrically connecting said shutter drive mechanism and said shutter state detector to a camera main body.
- 5. A shutter device comprising:
- a shutter base plate having an aperture for an exposure;
- electrical parts, different from a shutter drive mechanism, and mounted on said shutter base plate, adjacent to one side portion of said aperture for detecting a state of a shutter; and
- a connecting unit which electrically connects said electrical parts to internal parts of a camera main body other than parts mounted on said shutter base plate when said shutter base plate is installed in the camera main body,
- wherein said connecting unit is disposed in an area other than areas of said shutter base plate which are positioned upwardly and downwardly of said aperture, and comprises a flexible printed circuit board bonded to said shutter base plate.
- 6. A shutter device according to claim 5, wherein said electrical parts detect a traveling state of shutter blades.
- 7. A shutter device according to claim 5, wherein said connecting unit includes a lead wire.
- 8. A shutter device according to claim 6, wherein said internal parts of the camera main body drive-control all the functions of the camera main body.
- 9. A shutter device according to claim 5, further comprising:
- a shutter drive mechanism disposed on said shutter base plate adjacently to the other side portion located in face-to-face relationship with said one side portion of said aperture,
- said shutter drive mechanism having an arm and shutter blades and driving said shutter blades through said arm.
