JP2013130850A - Light-shielding case for compact digital camera - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that, when a compact digital camera including no hood for shielding solar light is used for outdoor photographing, solar light is often applied to a liquid crystal monitor (an image monitor) and the image becomes unclear, and especially when it is fine weather with strong solar light and the liquid crystal monitor faces the solar light, the image becomes invisible.SOLUTION: The light-shielding case for compact digital cameras includes: a lens part hole from which a camera lens part is projected, provided in a front side; a cylindrical light-shielding hood of a folding structure, a bellows structure, or a fixed structure that is brought into contact with a liquid crystal monitor part of the camera, provided in a back side; and a camera storage hole of a chuck structure and an opening part for a shutter provided in an upper side, or a camera storage hole provided in a side face side and the opening part for the shutter in the upper part. The light-shielding case has a bag shape made of leather or artificial leather, or has a box shape made of light metal, or a resin material. The light-shielding case stores the digital camera and prevents the application of the solar light to the liquid crystal monitor of the camera in outdoor photographing.

Description

  When using a small digital camera outdoors, the LCD monitor (image monitor) is exposed to sunlight and the image is often blurred. In particular, when the sunlight is strong and the liquid crystal monitor is facing sunlight, the image may not be visible and may not be visible at all.

  A high-end digital camera is equipped with a sun-shading hood used for shooting, but a small portable digital camera is not equipped with a sun-shielding hood. For this reason, when the image on the liquid crystal monitor is invisible due to sunlight, the photographer is forced to shoot with intuition (sense). Therefore, when shooting is an important object, or when it is an opportunity to take a commemorative photo of a precious vacation, you can expect reliable shooting. It is extremely inconvenient.

  The present invention is a light shielding case for a digital camera, in which an image displayed on a liquid crystal monitor can be accurately seen without being obstructed by sunlight when a portable small digital camera is photographed outdoors. The shading case is easy to operate at the time of use, and includes not only the case of shooting that requires shading of sunlight, but also the use of a case of a digital camera usually.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a lens part hole for projecting the lens part of the camera on the front side and a folding structure, a bellows structure, a fixing structure, etc. in contact with the liquid crystal monitor part of the rear side. A light shielding case for a small digital camera, comprising: a cylindrical light shielding hood; and a chuck structure or an opening-shaped camera housing opening and a camera shutter opening on the upper surface side or side surface side.

  The body case made of flexible materials such as leather and artificial leather can be used as a camera case, and the top side can be opened and closed by a chuck structure. A large opening can also form a camera storage port.

  The main body case made of a material such as a light metal or a resin material is used only at the time of photographing where it is necessary to shield the sunlight, and the camera can be easily inserted and removed from the side or top camera housing opening. The shutter opening on the upper surface side is always open, so it is easy to use. In addition, it will be described later with the lens hole, but when used, the camera lens part protrudes from the lens part hole, so the stored camera will not fall off.

  Since the lens portion of the camera protrudes during use, the lens portion hole on the front side can prevent the camera from dropping out of the main body case even when the camera storage port is open.

  The light shielding hood on the back side can be folded or shrunk flat when not in use, and the body case is also used as a camera case for portable use. When the foldable structure is not in use, the foldable structure is pressed with a fold-down pressing support piece and fixed with a hook or hook at the tip. The bellows structure is shrunk and fixed by pressing with the telescopic guide and push lid. Since the fixed structure is not used for the case of a turtle, use it only when necessary.

  When the main body case is portable, it is convenient to use a flexible material such as leather or artificial leather, and it is optimal that the camera storage port and the shutter opening have a chuck structure. By making the box-shaped main body case a rigid material, the stability during use is increased, and handling is stabilized when the cylindrical light-shielding hood has a folding structure or a bellows structure.

  The cylindrical light shielding hood is suitable for adopting a folding structure or a bellows structure by being formed into a quadrangular prism or a quadrangular pyramid cylinder having a quadrangular cross section corresponding to the liquid crystal monitor of the camera. In particular, when it is used as a camera case, a quadrangular pyramid shape is optimal.

  The pressing support piece used after folding the cylindrical light shielding hood of the folding structure may be provided separately from the cylindrical light shielding hood, but the length of one side is extended to make the tip side the pressing support piece, and the tip If the engaging hook B or the engaging piece A attached to the back side of the main body case is attached to the part, the structure is simplified and the handling becomes easy.
