Description

  The present invention relates to an outer protector for a housing housing that protects the front portion of the housing housing containing a camera from some kind of impact and is rich in color.

  Conventionally, many compact digital cameras that have pressure resistance and water resistance functions and are handled underwater are built in a housing case and used while maintaining waterproofness. Such a housing case is, for example, aluminum. Because it is made, the outside is easy to be damaged. That is, when approaching a subject in the sea, it often happens that the nerve concentrates on the peek and the subject approaches the subject without being aware of the presence of rocks and the like, and hits the rock and damages it. There are many things that protect electronic products and the like so that they do not hit other objects.

There is a device for protecting as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, but there is no device for protecting a specific portion of a housing housing incorporating a camera. Patent Document 1 is a protection for a carriage or the like, and Patent Document 2 is a protection for a wiring material. Therefore, these documents cannot protect the side edge of the housing housing with a built-in digital camera.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that, for example, a housing case that can be expected to have colorful colors without being damaged even if the lower side edge of the housing case containing a compact digital camera is hit against any object. The problem lies in providing a body outer protector.

  As a means for solving the problems, the present invention provides a metallic housing body that can house a camera body and can operate the camera from the outside, and an elasticity that is attached from the front surface of the housing body to the bottom of the housing body. It is made up of a protector body with.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, since the protector main body is provided from the front surface portion to the bottom portion of the housing main body, the side edge portion of the bottom portion is not damaged for some reason, and the appearance is not unsightly for many years. Further, the protector body can be provided with colors, letters, numbers, and the like as required, so that it is possible to provide an outer protector for the housing casing that has the effect of enhancing the appearance and color.

  The present invention attaches a slightly elastic protector body with screws or an adhesive from the front to the bottom of the front lower side of a housing body made of aluminum, for example, with a built-in digital camera having a waterproof pressure resistance function. Thus, when the lower side edge of the housing body is hit against rocks or the like often generated by underwater camera operation, the protector body can block. This protect body has a structure that enhances the recognizability of the housing body so that it can be distinguished from others because colors, patterns, characters, figures, etc. are applied.

  Hereinafter, an outer protector of a housing casing according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The protector main body 1 according to the present embodiment is attached to the side edge portion on the lower side of the entire surface of the housing main body 2. The housing body 2 has a built-in single-lens reflex digital camera, for example, which can be operated from the outside by a button operation or the like. A lens port 3 protrudes from the front surface of the housing body 1.

  In this case, the protect body 1 is an elastic member that is bent in the opposite direction at the center, and uses an elastic plastic material. That is, the shape of the protector main body is formed in a shape that can be attached to the shape extending from the lower front side to the bottom of the housing main body 2. In the protector body 1, screw holes 5 of screws 4 are formed on the left and right, and receiving screw holes 6 corresponding to the screw holes 5 are formed in the housing body 2.

  Therefore, when the protect body 1 is attached to the housing body 2, the protect body 1 is placed on the side edge of the lower surface of the housing body 2 and the screw hole 5 and the receiving screw hole 6 are aligned with each other. Then, the screw 4 is screwed in and fixed. As a result, the lower side edge of the main body 2 is covered. In this case, if characters, figures, colors, patterns, etc. are written on the surface of the protector body 1, it can be distinguished from others and can be made colorful.

  The outside protector of the housing of the present invention is careless when shooting in the sea, especially when hitting the lower side edge of the housing body against rocks, it is colorful and welcomed by divers Is.

It is an assembly schematic perspective view of the housing main body and protector main body for demonstrating the Example of this invention.
