The rubbers 310 and 320 have fitting grooves 310a and 320a fitted to the fitting ribs 224a and 234a to be tightly inserted into the fitting holes 224 and 234 by elasticity.

When the rubbers 310 and 320 are inserted into the fitting holes 224 and 234 by elasticity and are fitted and fastened, when the digital camera C is accommodated and stored in the case 10 to use the digital camera C, Flow, such as rattling of the digital camera C, can be prevented, as well as the occurrence of scratches.

And, as shown in Figure 5, by the combination of the front case 100 and the rear case 200, a plurality of battery housing exposure port (Hs), shutter exposure port (Ht), terminal exposure port (Ha), etc. The exposed port of is formed.

The rubbers 310 and 320 may be made of, for example, silicone, epoxy, rubber, or the like having elasticity.

7 is a perspective view of a rear case 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the rear case 200 according to another embodiment includes a liquid crystal screen exposure hole Hb2 formed to expose the liquid crystal screen of the digital camera C, and the liquid crystal screen exposure hole Hb2. ) Is a transparent soft 'LCD screen protection sheet' 400 is attached.

The LCD screen protection sheet 400 is configured to be used, for example, when the LCD screen is a touch screen type, and the LCD screen protection sheet 400 allows the user to directly remove the LCD screen without removing the digital camera from the case 10. You will be able to touch.

8 is a perspective view of a digital camera case according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 8, the case includes a front portion, an upper surface portion, a lower surface portion, a left side surface portion, and a right side surface portion to accommodate the digital camera, and at least one exposed hole is formed in the front portion, left side portion, and right side portion. A main body 810 and one or more operation button exposure openings are formed, and are formed of a sheet-shaped case cover 820 covering the rear of the case main body 810, and the case main body 810 and the case cover 820. ) Is hinged by hinge assembly 830.

In addition, the case cover 820 is formed in the case main body 810 at the opposite end of the hinge assembly 830, respectively, the engaging projection 821 and the engaging groove 811 is formed so that the case cover 820 is the case body 810 is engaged with the fastening.

Next, the operation of the digital camera case of the present invention having the above configuration will be described.

First, a process in which the rubbers 310 and 320 are elastically fitted to the fitting holes 224 and 234 will be described.

The rubbers 310 and 320 are first inserted into the fitting holes 224 and 234 elastically, and the rubbers 310 and 320 are first fastened to the fitting holes 224 and 234, and the rubbers 310 and 320 are fitted. The grooves 310a and 320a are secondly fastened while being fitted into the fitting ribs 224a and 234a provided at the centers of the fitting holes 224 and 234, and further, rubber stepped portions formed at both ends of the rubbers 310 and 320. Since 310b and 320b are engaged in the third step while engaging the through step portions 224b and 234b, the rubbers 310 and 320 are tightly and elastically fastened to the fitting holes 224 and 234.

Next, the process of combining the front case 100 and the rear case 200 will be described.

After placing the digital camera C on the rear case 200, the coupling protrusions 222 and 232 are inserted into the coupling grooves 122 and 132, and the front case 100 and the rear case 200 are coupled to each other.

When the coupling protrusions 222 and 232 are inserted into the coupling grooves 122 and 132, the rubbers 310 and 320 exert frictional forces on the coupling grooves 122 and 132, such that the front case 100 and the rear case 200 are fixed. It is possible to prevent the rattling phenomenon caused by the play caused by the combination of the), and to further solidify the coupling of the front case 100 and the rear case 200 is not easily separated.

Further, since the rubbers 310 and 320 exert a frictional force on the digital camera C accommodated in the case 10, not only the scratches occurring on the appearance of the digital camera C can be prevented, but also the digital camera C The rattling flow can be prevented so that the digital camera C can be more stably received in the case 10.

In addition, in the case where the digital camera C is stored and used in the case 10, even when severe shaking or impact is applied to the case 10 from the outside, the configuration of the LCD screen protector 212 may be reduced. The LCD screen of the digital camera C can be safely protected without being damaged.

On the other hand, in the case of the digital camera case 800 according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 8, the digital camera by the configuration of the hinge assembly 830, the engaging projection 821 and the locking groove 811 Accepting and separating will be simpler and faster.

And, even in the case of the digital camera case 800 according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 8, the technical gist shown in Figures 2 to 7 is implemented as it is, even in this case the technical scope of the present invention Of course it belongs.

The above embodiments of the present invention are merely one embodiment of the technical idea of the present invention, and of course, other modifications are possible within the technical idea of the present invention.

Digital camera case of the present invention having the configuration and operation as described above has the following effects.

First, by forming the lens exposure opening (Hf1) and a plurality of operation button exposure opening (Hb), the operation and use of the digital camera (C) even when the digital camera (C) is stored in the case (10, 800) It can work.

Second, when the digital camera C is stored and separated in the camera cases 10 and 800 by the configuration of the rubbers 310 and 320, scratches occur in the appearance of the digital camera by the camera cases 10 and 800. There is an effect that can prevent.

Third, by the friction force by the rubber (310, 320) acting on the digital camera, when the digital camera is stored in the case (10, 800) and used to prevent the flow due to rattling of the digital camera (C). It has an effect.

Fourth, by the configuration of the engaging projections (222, 232) and the coupling grooves (122, 132) there is an effect that can be easily and quickly accommodate the digital camera (C) in the case (10).

Fifth, by engaging the rubber (310, 320) with the coupling grooves (122, 132) at the time of coupling by the coupling grooves (122, 132) and the coupling protrusions (222, 232), the effect of the case is not easily separated There is.

Sixth, the rear case 200 covers and covers the entire LCD screen of the digital camera C. As the most important configuration of the digital camera, the rear case 200 can safely protect the LCD screen which requires handling attention. .

Seventh, by forming the LCD screen protector 212 on the back portion 210 of the rear case, there is an effect that can safely protect the LCD screen of the digital camera even from impact or shaking from the outside.

Eighth, by the configuration of the 'LCD screen exposure opening' and the 'LCD screen protection sheet', there is an effect that the touch operation is possible while preventing contamination of the LCD screen.

Ninth, by opening and closing the case cover 820 in the case body 810 by the configuration of the hinge assembly 830, the locking projection 821 and the locking groove 811, it is more simple to receive and remove the digital camera But you can do it quickly.
