`
`1. (Currently Amended)
`
`A blade driving device, comprising:
`
`a driving member;
`
`a frame equipped with a driving frame chamber that contains the driving member;
`
`a blade supporting member that has an opening; and that structures a blade chamber
`
`that is separate from the driving frame chamber; and
`
`a blade member that is contained in the blade chamber and that is moved by the
`
`driving member to advance into the opening;
`
`wherein the blade supporting member is disposed with a portion thereof protruding
`
`to the outside of the frame; with the opening outside of the frame;
`
`wherein in the frame; a recessed portion is formed in an outer peripheral edge; and
`
`the blade supporting member protrudes into the recessed portion;
`
`wherein a lens frame that has a slit into which the blade supporting member is
`
`inserted is contained in the recessed portion—J
`wherein the frame includes a first subframe and a second subframe the first
`
`subframe defines a first recess on a first plane perpendicular to the optical axis: the second
`
`subframe defines a second recess on a second plane perpendicular to the optical axis: the
`
`first recess and the second recess together form the recessed p_ortion:
`
`wherein the blade supporting member includes a protruding member that extends
`
`in a direction parallel to the first plane and the second plane: the protruding member
`
`overlap_s at least in part with the recessed portion: and the blade supporting member is
`sandwiched between the two subframes and
`
`wherein the opening is formed in the protruding member.
`
`2-3. (Canceled).
`
`4. (Previously Presented) The blade driving device as set forth in Claim 1; wherein:
`
`a stepped portion; wherein the lens frame is supported by the frame; is provided in
`
