ABSTRACT:
A barrier mechanism of a camera is provided which includes a cylindrical lens cover which has at its front face an aperture and which is supported to move between a photographing position and an accommodating position in the rear of the photographing position. At least one barrier is provided on the front end of the lens cover to open and close the aperture; and a barrier opening and closing mechanism which opens and closes the barrier in association with the rotation of a cam ring. The barrier opening and closing mechanism includes spring means for biasing the barrier to open the same, an opening and closing pin which can be moved in the radial directions of the lens cover and which closes the barrier against the spring means when the opening and closing pin moves in one radial direction, a closing lever which is located at a predetermined position outside the lens cover and which is biased to rotate to continuously press the opening and closing pin to close the barrier. The cam ring is located to normally prevent the contact between the closing lever and the opening and closing pin, The cam ring is provided with an opening which permits the closing lever to rotate toward the opening and closing pin when the lens cover is moved to the accommodating positon.
