An optical part linkage device in which a threaded portion and positioning protrusions
are formed at the outer periphery of a lens barrel that holds a lens. A threaded
portion that can be screwed to the threaded portion of the lens barrel is provided
at the inner wall surface of the holder to which a CCD package is mounted, with
a plurality of positioning recesses being formed at an end of the threaded portion
of the holder. After rotating a grip portion of the lens barrel in order to link
the lens barrel to the holder by the threaded portions, the grip portion is turned
bit by bit in order to position the protrusions with respect to the recesses by
shifting them one at a time. When the rotation of the grip portion is stopped in
correspondence with an optimal focal location, the protrusions engage the recesses
of the holder. In this state, the protrusions do not separate from the recesses
of the holder unless a strong force is applied thereto, so that the state of engagement
is maintained. The invention provides a low-cost optical part linkage device that
allows the positional relationship of two optical parts to be easily and precisely
fixed using a simple structure.
