<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable electronic device constituted in such a manner that a lid member is surely opened even in such a narrow space that does not allow hooking or inserting of a finger, and a plate-like battery or recording medium can be inserted in the device or pulled out of it. <P>SOLUTION: The swivel of a strap has a wedge-shaped projection for opening the lid member, and a groove corresponding to the thickness of the plate-like battery or recording medium. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a strap attached to a portable electronic device.

  In recent years, even in portable electronic devices such as digital still cameras, designs such as thinness and smallness are regarded as important in addition to functions and usability, and each company has devised.

Some conventional camera straps have an operation member for opening and closing the lid provided on the monkey ring of the strap.
JP-A-9-21640 (Canon, camera)

  As an example of the above-mentioned background art, there is a design in which a finger hook shape for opening operation of a lid member is not protruded from an exterior member in a digital still camera. Problems occur that make it difficult to open the lid. Further, as the camera becomes thinner, the recording medium becomes smaller and thinner, the opening opening for the recording medium becomes thinner, and it becomes difficult for the user's finger to enter, which causes a problem that it is difficult to insert and remove the recording medium.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above points, and the lid member can always be easily opened even in a narrow space where a finger hook cannot be secured or a finger cannot enter, and a flat battery. Alternatively, it is an object to provide a portable electronic device in which a recording medium can be inserted and removed.

  According to a first technical means of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem, in a portable electronic device provided with a strap, the electronic device has a lid member that can be opened and closed on a main body, and is a detachable flat battery or A recording medium, and the strap is configured by a slidable moving member that is slidable by inserting the other end portion of the gripping string portion into the fixed end base end portion of the gripping string portion, and the lid member is Protrusions for opening and closing are provided on the movable body, and the movable body is formed with a shape for abutting the flat member against the recess in order to insert and remove the flat battery or recording medium. Portable electronic device.

  2. The portable electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the second technical means is that the moving member is a monkey ring.

  As described above, according to the strap of the present invention, it is possible to provide a terminal lid that is easy to open without adding new parts, or being lost or forgotten, and that does not impair the design of the portable electronic device. Even if the opening for a battery or a recording medium is made thinner for further thinning, a portable electronic device in which the battery or the recording medium can be easily inserted and removed can be provided. In addition, by providing the above-mentioned functions to the monkey ring of the slidable strap, it is possible to provide a function of adjusting and holding the length of the grip string portion to the wrist thickness and preventing the portable electronic device from falling. .

  Embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the strap. 1 is a narrow string part connected to a portable electronic device, 2 is a gripping string part connected to the narrow string part as a starting point, and 3 is a monkey ring part, which is inserted through the end 2a of the gripping string part 2 and slidable. Install to. A stopper 4 is fixed to the end 2a by bonding or the like, restricts the sliding range of the monkey ring 3, and hides the joint portion (not shown) of the thin string portion 1 and the grip string portion 2.

  Next, the operation of the strap having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the wearing state of the strap. Reference numeral 5 denotes a digital still camera. The strap is attached at the strap fastening portion 5a. The digital camera 5 has a terminal cover 5b that can be opened and closed, and a battery cover 5c. Therefore, since the convex and concave shapes for the finger hook shape when opening the terminal cover 5b cannot be sufficiently reduced in size and design, a wedge-shaped convex 3a is provided on the monkey ring 3 of the strap, and the digital camera 5 is also provided. The lead-in taper shape, and the terminal lid 5b is also formed with a recess for catching, so that the terminal lid 5b is lifted to the level of being caught with a finger by the insertion operation of the monkey ring 3. FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the terminal lid opening state, and FIG. 4 shows a schematic longitudinal section.

  Next, FIG. 6 shows a perspective view and a schematic vertical sectional view of the digital camera when the battery cover 5c is opened. When the battery cover 5c is opened, the user can put in and out the recording medium 6 and the battery pack 7 for recording images and the like. The recording medium is a slot 8 that is known and used in a digital still camera called a push-push type, and is inserted, electrically connected, held, and ejected by pressing the top of the recording medium 6. Since the opening opening tends to become smaller as the camera becomes smaller and thinner, the user's finger becomes difficult to enter as a result. Therefore, by providing a groove 3b corresponding to the thickness of the recording medium 6 in the monkey ring 3 of the strap instead of a finger, it is possible to prevent the monkey ring 3 from coming off from the recording medium 6, and the top of the recording medium 6 is connected to the monkey ring 3. By making it press with the groove part 3b, the smooth insertion / extraction was enabled also in the small frontage.

  Further, the through hole diameter of the monkey ring part 3 is overlapped with the diameter of the gripping string part 2 to give a slide resistance, and the length of the gripping string part 2 is adjusted and held to the thickness of the wrist. It also has a function to prevent falling.

Perspective view of strap A perspective view of the strap attached Perspective view of terminal lid opening operation 3 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of FIG. The perspective view at the time of the opening of the battery cover in an Example FIG. 5 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view.
