Shutter release device

A shutter release device for a camera, said shutter releasing device comprising;

• a release member mounted for movement from an initial position to operate a shutter of said camera;
• a delay member mounted for movement relative to said release member and operative to control mechanical release of the camera;
• means for preventing movement of said delay member during movement of said release member from said initial position and for enabling movement of said delay member upon movement of said release member by a predetermined distance;
• and
• biasing means connected to said delay member and said release member for urging said delay member to move, said biasing means comprising means whereby movement of said release member from said initial position by a stroke shorter than said predetermined value stores energy in said biasing means.

A shutter release device for a camera, said shutter release device comprising:

• a release member mounted for movement from an initial position to operate a shutter of said camera;
• a delay member mounted for movement relative to said release member;
• means for releasing a shutter of said camera, said releasing means being controlled by movement of said delay member;
• biasing means connected to said release member and to said delay member, for urging said delay member in a direction in which said delay member operates said releasing means, said biasing means comprising means whereby movement of said release member from said initial position by a stroke shorter than a predetermined value stores energy in said biasing means;
• means for preventing movement of said delay member until said release member is moved from the initial position by a stroke longer than said predetermined value;
• and
• means for releasing said movement preventing means when said release member is moved by a stroke longer than said predetermined value to enable movement of said delay member to operate said shutter releasing means.

• biasing means, connected to said delay member and to said release member for urging said delay member in a direction which said delay member operates said releasing means;
• means for preventing movement of said delay member until said release member is moved from the initial position by a stroke larger than said predetermined value;
• means for releasing said movement preventing means when said release member is moved by a stroke longer than said predetermined value to enable movement of said delay member to operate said shutter releasing means.
