本発明は、ＡＣパワーアダプタの取付構造に係り、特に
パワーカプラを介してカメラ本体にＡＣ・パワーアダプ
タを電気的に接続するＡＣパワーアダプタの取付構造に
関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for an AC power adapter, and particularly to an AC power adapter that electrically connects the AC/power adapter to a camera body via a power coupler. Regarding the mounting structure.
従来、第４図に示すように、電子スチルカメラ２に使用

納部に挿入される。即ち、バフテリ４は、バフテリ収納
部に矢印入方向から挿入され、バフテリ４の前面４Ａは
、カメラ本体５の外側面と、同一平面を形成している。Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, a battery 4 used in an electronic still camera 2 is inserted into a battery storage section at the bottom of a camera body 5. That is, the buff cover 4 is inserted into the buff cover storage section from the direction indicated by the arrow, and the front surface 4A of the buff cover 4 forms the same plane as the outer surface of the camera body 5.

、第５図上で６Ａはコネクタである。On the other hand, the electronic still camera 2 has become smaller in recent years, and it is difficult to newly provide a terminal for connecting the AC power adapter 6 to the camera body 5. Therefore, generally, the AC power adapter 6 is connected to the camera body 5 using the connection terminal of the battery 4. That is, a power coupler 7 formed in the same shape as the battery 4 is connected to the AC power adapter 6 with a cable 8, and is inserted into the camera body 5 from the direction of the arrow in the same manner as the battery 4. As a result, the battery terminal provided on the camera body 5 and the terminal of the power coupler are connected, and the camera body 5 and the AC power adapter 6 are electrically connected. In this case, since the power coupler 7 is inserted into the camera body 5 from the direction of the arrow, the cable 8 needs to be connected to the front surface 7A of the power coupler. Therefore, the cable 8 protrudes forward from the camera body 5. Note that 5A in FIG. 4 is an optical system lens, and 6A in FIG. 5 is a connector.
ところで、電子スチルカメラには、バッテリをカメラ本

−から挿入され、カメラ本体の底面の開口をカバーで閉
塞される。Incidentally, there are types of electronic still cameras in which the battery is installed in the grip, as well as types in which the battery is installed in the bottom of the camera body. In this case, the battery is inserted upward from the bottom of the camera body and installed inside the grip. When using an AC power adapter with this type of electronic still camera, the power coupler is inserted from the bottom of the camera body, and the opening on the bottom of the camera body is closed with a cover.
しかしながら、パワーカプラの底面には、パワーカプラ

れる。However, the cable that connects the power coupler and the AC power adapter is attached to the bottom of the power coupler, so when the power coupler is attached to the electronic still camera, the cable protrudes from the bottom of the electronic still camera. . As a result, the cover cannot be closed, and if the electronic still camera is placed on a desk or the like, problems may occur, such as the electronic still camera tilting and falling over, or the cable being bent and disconnected.
本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、Ａ
Ｃパワーアダプタを使用しても、ケーブルが電子スチル
