 Recently, advances in camera technology have led to the spread of miniaturized cameras that can be easily handled by anyone. In particular, in recent years, so-called disposable type camera with a built-in film has been dramatically used. In addition, a new type of film-embedded camera called the advanced photo system is now on sale, and it is expected that the overall size of the camera will be further reduced, and it will be easier to book. It has become.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, except for the disposable type camera described above, the camera is generally housed in some kind of cover or case. Therefore, when using the camera, there is an inconvenience that the camera has to be taken out from the cover and used, and that the camera has to be taken in and out each time a picture is taken.

Further, in the case of the disposable type camera, a cover is not provided in order to reduce the cost or facilitate the handling at a DPE store, and the camera is actually used as it is. Is. Therefore, with this type of camera, the camera is not protected, and there is the inconvenience of causing unexpected damage when the camera falls. Also, because the camera of the same type is extremely small and is a book type, it is convenient to carry, but at the same time it reduces the support or posture stability at the time of shooting, causing so-called “blur”. It is easy, and there are some cases in which the shooting accuracy is adversely affected.

[0005]

[Purpose of the invention]

 The present invention was devised by focusing on such an inconvenience, and the purpose thereof is to eliminate the need for the work of taking in and out when using the camera, while protecting the camera from damage. It is to provide a camera cover that improves the ease of holding and stabilizes the support position of the camera during shooting.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts a structure in which a camera cover in which a camera is housed is provided with openings corresponding to at least the lens, shutter, and finder of the camera. . With this configuration, it is not necessary to take the camera out of the cover for use, and the camera can always be protected by the cover. Therefore, when the camera is accidentally dropped, the risk of causing damage can be reduced compared to the case where the camera is dropped uncovered.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The present invention provides a camera cover in which a camera can be housed, in which a cover main body having at least openings corresponding to the camera lens, shutter, and viewfinder is provided, and a part of the cover main body is provided. It is preferable to employ a structure in which a camera inlet / outlet opening is provided and a lid member capable of closing the inlet / outlet opening is connected to the cover body.

[0008] Further, the opening / closing port of the camera is provided on either the left or right side of the cover body, and at the same time, the cover member is formed by extending either one of the front surface portion and the back surface portion of the cover body. A configuration may be adopted in which the lid member is formed as a grip portion that closes the inlet / outlet opening at a position where the front end side of the lid member is wound around the other surface of the front surface portion and the back surface portion. By doing so, a stable support feeling can be obtained by holding the handle portion, and especially in the case of a small and lightweight camera, the posture of the position supporting the camera can be stabilized.

The cover body and the lid member are preferably made of cushioning fibers. As a result, the impact when the camera is dropped can be effectively mitigated, and the protection of the camera can be further enhanced. Here, the “cushioning property” refers to, for example, that the fiber surface of the pressed portion can be slightly depressed when the cover surface is pressed with a fingertip. Therefore, the term “cushioning property” in the present specification includes a cover that has a sewable thickness and a fiber thickness that causes the drop.
