The present invention provides an annular window portion (4) having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of a camera lens at the tip of a lens storage portion (2) of a waterproof cover main body (1) having a lower end opening and comprising a lens storage portion (2) and a camera main body storage portion (3). The camera lens connecting ring 7 that can be connected to the camera lens is rotatably mounted on the window 4 so that the lens can be freely rotated inside the waterproof cover body 1.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a waterproof cover that can continuously take a picture in the rain without wetting the camera.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when photographing distant landscapes or plants, it is common to fix the camera b equipped with a zoom lens a with a tripod c and adjust the zoom lens a as shown in FIG. It is.

[0003] Such photographing is sometimes performed in the rain, and there is a waterproof cover d that covers the entire camera as a means for preventing infiltration of rainwater.

The waterproof cover d covers the entire camera b with the zoom lens a wound thereon, inserts a hand from inside the waterproof cover d, adjusts the focus while rotating the zoom lens a, and performs photographing.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, when the zoom lens a is rotated left and right with the waterproof cover d having the above configuration, the waterproof cover d may also be involved at the same time, hindering the focus adjustment, and missing a chance to shut the corner.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a waterproof cover capable of adjusting the zoom lens without hindrance while covering the entire camera.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The above object of the present invention can be achieved by a prevention cover having the following configuration. That is, the gist of the invention is that an annular window having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the camera lens is formed at the tip of the lens housing of the waterproof cover body having an opening at the lower end composed of the lens housing and the camera body housing. A waterproof cover for a camera, characterized in that the camera lens connecting ring that can be connected to the camera lens is rotatably mounted on the camera lens. In addition, a rotatable annular frame is provided on the camera lens, and by inserting the annular frame provided at the end of the camera lens into the window portion, the camera lens can be freely rotated. Further, a finder opening having an openable and closable lid is provided in the camera main body storage portion so that the camera can be photographed in the rain without wetting the camera.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing the embodiments. Embodiment 1 As shown in FIG. 1, a cover body 1 made of a vinyl sheet material or a synthetic fiber having a high water-repellency is composed of a lens housing section 2 and a camera body housing section 3 each having an open lower portion. Things.

An annular window 4 is provided at the tip of the lens housing 2, and a finder opening 5 is provided through the camera body housing 3, and the finder opening 5 has a planar shape. The cover 6 is provided so that the finder opening 5 can be freely opened and closed by an adhesive tape.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, a camera lens connecting ring 7 that is rotatable left and right with respect to the window 4 is mounted on the window 4.

The camera lens connecting ring 7 has an outer frame 9 of the camera lens connecting ring 7 fitted to the inner frame 8 of the window 4 in a rotatable left and right direction. This is a mechanism in which the screw portion 10 is provided around.

That is, the connecting male screw portion 10 is screwed with a female screw portion 12 provided on the inner periphery of a flange portion 11 at the front end of the lens A of the camera, whereby connection with the lens A can be performed. This is a mechanism that can be freely adjusted by right and left rotation.

The female screw portion 12 of the lens A is a female screw portion for mounting a filter provided on almost all lenses. The female screw portion 12 for connection of the camera lens connecting ring portion 7 is aligned with the female screw portion 12. By providing 10, the connection to the existing lens can be performed without any trouble.

Second Embodiment FIG. 3 shows a form of a mechanism of the window 4 when the cover main body 1 is covered with the annular frame 13 mounted on the lens A.

The annular frame 13 is mounted on the female screw portion 12 of the lens A so as to be rotatable left and right. Therefore, the window 4 has a configuration in which the inner diameter is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the annular frame 13.

The window 4 is formed of an elastic material such as rubber, so that the annular frame 13 is inserted into the window 4 so that the diameter of the window 4 is increased and the annular frame 13 is fixed. This is a mechanism capable of freely adjusting the left and right rotation of the lens A with respect to the annular frame 13.

The window 4 in the second embodiment may be formed by fixing the annular frame 13 by fitting it into the window 4 in addition to the form made of an elastic material. Any mechanism may be used as long as it can fix the annular frame 13 mounted in the state to the window 4.

[0018]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when shooting a distant scenery or the like with a zoom lens during rain, the adjustment by rotating the zoom lens with the camera covered with the waterproof cover is performed without involving the waterproof cover. That is what makes it possible.
