Focal-plane shutter for camera

Abstract

A first blade actuating member and a second blade actuating member have pins, respectively. A movable contact member, which is urged to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, has locking arms and a contact piece member. When the first blade actuating member is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in photographing, the movable contact member causes a locking arm of to follow a pin of the first blade actuating member and causes the contact piece portion to come into contact with the contact piece portion of a stationary contact portion to thereby detect an abnormal actuation of the first blade actuating member by offset from normal timing. Next, when the second blade actuating member is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, a locking arm of the movable contact member is rotated by being pressed by a pin and causes the contact piece portion thereof to come into contact with the contact piece portion of the stationary contact portion to thereby detects an abnormal actuation of the second blade actuating member, similarly to the above mentioned.
