Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a video camera carrying case for storing a video camera and its accessories. Our goal is to provide a video camera carrying case with excellent functionality.

The configuration will be explained below based on the embodiment shown in the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the video camera carrying case according to the present invention, and 2 is the lid, each of which has a hollow double wall structure consisting of inner walls 3, 4, outer walls 5, 6, and hollow parts 7, 8. There is. And hinge 9
When the case is closed with the axis at
a and the handle 11b of the lid body 2 are integrated to form the handle 11 of the case. 12b is a slidable locking latch; 12a is the latch 12b;
A latch receiving protrusion that engages with the latch. The case of the present invention, which consists of a hollow double-walled main body 1, a lid 2, and a hinge 9 connecting them, is integrally constructed by blow molding thermoplastic such as polyethylene.

On the inner walls 3 and 4 of the main body 1 and the lid 2, there is a video camera main body storage section 13 corresponding to the external shape of the video camera main body on the side of the hinge 9 which is the bottom of the case.
a, 13b are recessed, and battery storage parts 14a, 14 are provided on the handle 10 side which is the upper part of the case.
b and AC adapter storage portions 15a, 15b are each recessed to correspond to the external shape. Main body 1
A camera cable storage section 16 is provided in a long and narrow recessed area in the lower part from the battery storage section 14a to the AC adapter storage section 15a. 17 is a band that holds the battery and AC adapter.

The external shape of the case configured as above is
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in the height direction of the case, the accessories of the video camera (battery,
The upper half 18 houses the AC adapter, cables, etc., and the lower half 19 houses the video camera body. The width W ₁ of the upper half 18 in the thickness direction is the thickness of the lower half 19. The outer surface 18'19' of each of the upper half part 18 and the lower half part 19 in the thickness direction is thinner than the width _W2 in the direction of the body 1 and the lid body 2.
It is parallel to the mating surface 20 of. A boundary surface 21 between the outer surface 18' of the upper half section 18 and the lower half section 19' and a boundary surface 22 between the outer surfaces 18', 19' and the upper, lower, left and right circumferential surfaces 23 are each inclined. The case is formed symmetrically with respect to the mating surface 20.

In the above configuration, the video camera body is stored in the video camera body storage part 13a of the main body 1 of the case, and then the video camera cable is wound and stored in the video camera cable storage part 16,
Furthermore, the battery storage section 14 located above it
After storing the battery and AC adapter in the AC adapter storage section 15a and the AC adapter storage section 15a and holding them with the band 17, close the lid body 2 and press the slidable latch 1.
2b is engaged with the latch receiving protrusion 12a and locked, the video camera body and its attached accessories are neatly stored in a predetermined position within the case.

The video camera body, battery, AC adapter, cable, etc. stored in the case are held between both sides by the housing parts of the main body 1 and lid body 2, which are recessed to correspond to the external shape, and the inner wall that holds the stored items. 3 and 4 are outer walls 5 and 6 in hollow parts 7 and 8
Even if an external impact such as a fall is applied to the outer walls 5, 6, the presence of the hollow parts 7, 8 prevents the impact from directly applying to the inner walls 3, 4, which hold the respective stored items. The case has excellent cushioning properties.

As shown in FIG. 4, when carrying the case of the present invention, the case is held so that the tangent line L ₁ of the boundary surfaces 21 and 22 is almost perpendicular, and the center line L ₂ of the case passing from the mating surface to the handle 11 The intersecting angle θ ₁ of L ₁ and the opening angle of the user's body and the arm holding the handle 11 are as shown in the conventional case 2 shown in FIG.
This is smaller than the opening angle θ ₂ when carrying the 4. In addition, when carrying the conventional case 24,
Since the tangent line _L3 of the outer surface and the center line _L4 of the case are parallel, the line _L5 of the arm that holds the handle and the center line _L4 of the case are not located on the same line. As above,
When carrying the case of the present invention, the user holds the body almost vertically and holds the handle 11 of the case close to the body, and the center line L ₄ of the case and the line of the arm holding the handle 11 are on the same line. Since the device is located at the top of the screen, it can be carried in a natural posture, and the burden on the user is greatly reduced.

The upper half 18 of the case is thinner than the lower half 19, and includes a boundary surface 21 between an outer surface 18' of the upper half 18 and an outer surface 19' of the lower half 19 parallel to the mating surface 20, and both outer surfaces 18'. , 19' and the upper, lower, left and right circumferential sides 2
Since the boundary surfaces 22 between the case body 1 and the lid body 2 are each formed in an inclined shape, when carrying the case, the outer wall of either the case body 1 or the lid body 2 does not come into contact with the body over the entire surface, and the case does not come into contact with the body. Since the contact surfaces 21 and 22 are formed in an inclined shape, it is possible to walk smoothly while carrying the device. Furthermore, since the case is constructed symmetrically with respect to the mating surface 20, the above-mentioned effect can be achieved regardless of whether the main body 1 or the lid 2 is placed on the body side. Since the width W ₂ is made larger than the width W ₁ in the thickness direction of the upper half 18, the case has excellent aesthetics and stability.

The present invention has a main body 1 having a hollow double wall structure as described above.
One side of each of the main body 1 and the lid 2 are integrally connected by a hinge 9, handles 11a and 11b are formed on one side facing the hinge 9, and inner walls 3 and 4 of the main body 1 and the lid 2 are provided with handles 11a and 11b. , video camera storage parts 13a, 13b, and a handle 11 on the hinge 9 side.
Battery storage portions 14a, 14 on the a, 11b sides
b. In the case in which the AC adapter storage parts 15a and 15b are recessed, the width in the thickness direction of the upper half part, which is divided into approximately two equal parts in the height direction, is configured to be thinner than the width in the thickness direction of the lower half part. The outer surfaces of the upper half and the lower half in the thickness direction are parallel to the mating surfaces of the main body and the lid, and the boundary surface between the outer surface of the upper half and the outer surface of the lower half and at least the upper half. The present invention relates to a video camera carrying case in which the boundary surface between the outer surface and the upper circumferential surface is formed in an inclined shape, and the main body and the lid are formed symmetrically with respect to the mating surface.

Therefore, the case of the present invention can be carried in a natural posture, greatly reducing the burden on the user, and has excellent aesthetics and stability. In particular, according to the present invention, the width in the thickness direction of the upper half divided into approximately two equal parts in the height direction is configured to be thinner than the width in the thickness direction of the lower half, and each of the upper half and the lower half The outer surface in the thickness direction is parallel to the mating surface of the main body and the lid, and the boundary surface between the outer surface of the upper half and the outer surface of the lower half, and at least the interface between the upper outer surface of the upper half and the circumferential surface. By forming the boundary surface in an inclined shape, the strength of the outer part of the case is significantly improved compared to a case with a flat surface, and it also gives the appearance of a smaller size. Furthermore, when carrying this device, only the boundary surface of the outer wall touches the body, and the entire outer wall does not touch the body.Therefore, there are few contact points between the body and the outer wall, making it easy to carry even when the case is heavy. can be done.
