子用キャップに関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a cap for input/output terminals of a camera, and in particular to a cap for dust-proofing the input/output terminals of electronic still cameras, video cameras, etc.
This invention relates to a camera input/output terminal cap provided to prevent static electricity.
従来、カメラの入出力端子用キャップは、ケース本体と
に接続部がない為、入出力端子用キャップをケース本体
から取り外した場合には、前記キャップを紛失してしま
うという問題があった。Conventionally, the input/output terminal cap of a camera does not have a connection part with the case body, so when the input/output terminal cap is removed from the case body, there has been a problem that the cap is lost.
、一方、測定機器の分野では、第３図に示すようなキャ

せていた。On the other hand, in the field of measuring instruments, there is a cap as shown in FIG. This cap includes a cap body 20 that opens and closes with respect to the case body 22, and a cap attachment that is housed in a case top cover 22A and a bottom cover 22B that are attached to the cap body 20 via a string-like connecting part 21B. portion 21A and a fitting portion 25 provided at the input/output terminal 24
It is integrally molded with a fitting part 21C provided on the cap main body 20 to be fitted into the cap body 20, and the fitting parts 25 and 21C are fitted together. This caused the cap body 2o to be locked.
しかしながら、第３図に示した入出力端子用キャップで

閉用の為多少長めに設けられているので、ケース本体２
２の外側方向に湾曲しケース本体２２に対して突出し、
外観上、デザイン的にも良好とはいえなかった。However, in the input/output terminal cap shown in FIG. 3, the connecting portion 21B that connects the cap body 2o and the cap attachment portion 21A is formed in a string shape, and therefore has low strength and lacks durability. . For that purpose, the cap body 2
If the 0 is opened and closed frequently, the main body of the connecting part, the boundary between the connecting part and the cap attachment part, and the boundary between the connecting part and the cap main body may be damaged. In addition, when the cap body 20 is locked, the string-like connecting part 21B is provided a little longer for opening and closing the cap body 20, so the case body 20
2 and protrudes from the case body 22,
In terms of appearance and design, it could not be said to be good.
本発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、カメ

する。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cap for an input/output terminal of a camera for protecting an input/output terminal provided in a camera, the cap being housed in a camera case from the vicinity of the input/output terminal. A mounting part and a cap body that covers the input/output terminal and fits with the input/output terminal or a camera case near the input/output terminal are integrally molded via a bendable hinge part, and the cap body is attached to the hinge part. It is characterized by being opened and closed by folding it.

観を損なうことがない。According to the present invention, the connecting portion connecting the cap body and the cap attachment portion is formed into a hinge portion instead of the conventional string shape, so that the hinge portion body, the boundary between the hinge portion and the cap body, and the hinge portion are connected to each other. The rigidity of each boundary portion with the cap attachment portion can be increased. Therefore, the durability in opening and closing the cap body can be improved. Further, the cap body is bent at an acute angle with respect to the hinge portion, so that the hinge portion does not protrude from the case body when the cap body is closed, and the aesthetic appearance of the camera is not impaired.
以下添付図面に従って本発明に係るカメラの入出力端子
