Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an improvement in a storage container suitable for storing a film-integrated camera.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, there are two ways to store a film-integrated camera: a method of sealing it in a package (hereinafter referred to as a package method) and a method of storing it in a plastic box-shaped container (hereinafter referred to as a container storage method).

Among these, the most common packaging method is to seal and seal the film-integrated camera with a slightly thick aluminum vapor-deposited film. In this case, in addition to being compact and easy to carry, there are advantages in that a desired design can be printed on the package. On the other hand, packaging printing costs tend to be disadvantageous as the number of manufacturing lofts decreases, and for example, when printing a unique design as a souvenir for various events, the printing cost becomes extremely expensive. .

On the other hand, the container storage method is as shown in FIG.
For example, a film-integrated camera can be inserted into the main body 10 along with an instruction manual.
1, and after fitting the lid 102, it is sealed with a plastic adhesive film T. in this case,
The storage container, the lid, and the film are also transparent so that the film-integrated camera inside can be seen through. Therefore, the exterior body of the film-integrated camera can be seen through from the outside of the container. In general, printing on the exterior body (usually made of paper) is cheaper than printing on the package, and it is also advantageous for protecting the camera body during transportation, so this container storage method has been increasing in recent years.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional film-integrated camera storage container has main body 1.
01 or the lid body 102 and the film-integrated camera, and the film-integrated camera inside the container causes "rattling" in any direction such as up/down, front/back, or left/right due to vibrations during transportation. , scratches could occur on the camera body or storage container. In addition, there was also a risk that abrasion powder would be generated due to this rubbing phenomenon and adhere to the side shadow lens.

To prevent this phenomenon, a rib 103 that restricts the movement of the camera in the front-rear direction (optical axis direction of the photographic lens) is installed on the lid body 102.
However, when the instruction manual was not placed inside the container body, the gap became large and rattling could increase.

In view of the above points, this invention has a simple structure, but
To provide a storage container for a film-integrated camera that can store the film-integrated camera without shaking the film-integrated camera.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage container for a film-integrated camera that includes a container body and a lid that can be fitted onto the body, in which a ridgeline portion of the camera is attached to an inner ridgeline portion of the lid. A rattling regulating rib is provided that comes into contact with the camera, so that the movement of the camera can be controlled.

Further, the inner wall of the storage container body is provided with a rattling control rib that comes into contact with the side surface of the camera, so that vertical and horizontal movement of the film-integrated camera can be more reliably controlled. be.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of the storage container of the present application, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the relationship between each rib and the film integrated camera.
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) are partially enlarged sectional views showing other examples of the fitting portion between the main body and the lid.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of the storage container for a film-integrated camera according to the present invention, and the main body 1 is made of transparent plastic and is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape that is almost similar to the film-integrated camera C. In this embodiment, the film-integrated camera C has the following dimensions, for example: Width (horizontal direction) = approximately 11 cm Height (vertical direction) = approximately 6 cm Depth (front-back direction) = approximately 3.5 cm The target is a rectangular parallelepiped, but camera C
Of course, the shape and dimensions are not particularly limited.

The dimensions of each part of the main body 1 are slightly larger than the film-integrated camera C in height and width, and slightly smaller (shallower) in depth. That is, when the camera C is housed in the main body 1, the front part of the camera C is configured to slightly protrude from the opening of the main body 1.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid, which is molded from the same transparent plastic as the main body 1, and is configured so that it can be fitted snugly from above with the main body 1 inside.

Reference numeral 3.3' indicates rattling control ribs, and the control ribs 3.3' are provided on the inner ridgeline portions 2a and 2b of the lid body 2, respectively.

Among these, the regulating rib 3 is a triangular rib provided on the short side ridgeline part 2a of the lid body 2, and comes into contact with the short side ridgeline of the camera C in the main body 1, and extends the width (left and right) of the camera C. It is configured so that movement in the direction and front/back (depth) direction can be restricted. Further, the regulating ribs 3 are provided substantially at the center of each short side 2a so as to face each other.

On the other hand, the regulating rib 3' is located along the long side ridgeline portion 2b of the lid body 2.
It is made of triangular ribs provided in the main body 1, and comes in contact with the long side ridgeline of the camera C in the main body 1, so that the top and bottom (height) of the camera C is
It is configured so that movement in the direction and front/back (depth) direction can be restricted. The mounting position of the regulating rib 3' may be determined freely, but in this embodiment, in order to press the exterior part between the finder F and the strobe S, the regulating rib 3' is mounted at a corresponding position on each long side 2b ( (Position where the long side of the lid body 2 is divided approximately 2:1)
They are arranged point-symmetrically with respect to each other.

Therefore, the regulating ribs 3 and 3' allow the camera C to
It is possible to control rattling in each direction: front and back, left and right, and up and down. Moreover, even if the position of the camera C in the depth direction varies depending on whether an instruction manual or the like is inserted into the bottom surface of the main body 1, the lid body 2 is displaced in the depth direction to offset the variation. Because it is stored away, regulation rib 3
．． 3' can be regulated by always coming into contact with the ridgeline of the camera C.

In the above embodiment, the body 1 and the lid 2 are fitted in a simple nested manner without mutual interference. b) As in
At least one of the two may have a step, and the two may be fitted into each other in a butt state through the step. In these cases, the distance between the bottom surface of the main body 1 and the ceiling of the lid body 2 is regulated to a certain value, so when the instruction manual and camera C are placed together, the distance between the regulating rib 3.
3' should just touch the ridgeline of camera C.

That is, when the instruction manual is not inserted, the restriction rib 3.
Although there is a slight gap between camera 3' and camera C, there is no practical problem because the rattling caused by this gap can be much smaller than that of the conventional example.

Reference numeral 4.4' denotes rattling control ribs provided on the inner wall surface of the main body 1, and among the control ribs 4.4', the control ribs 4 provided on the short side inner wall surface 1a of the main body 1 The camera C of
The camera C comes into contact with the outer surface of the short side of the camera C, and restricts the movement of the camera C in the left and right direction. Two regulating ribs 4 are provided on each of the inner wall surfaces 1a, 1a so that the inclination of the camera C can also be controlled.

Further, a regulating rib 4 provided on the long side inner wall surface 1b of the main body 1
' comes into contact with the long side wall surface of the camera C inside the main body 1 and restricts the movement of the camera C in the vertical direction. Two regulating ribs 4' are provided on each of the inner wall surfaces 1b, 1b so that the inclination of the camera C can also be controlled.

Incidentally, the regulating rib 4.4' has sloped surfaces 4a, 4a' formed on the upper part thereof so as to be easily inserted so as not to get in the way when the camera C is stored.

T is an adhesive tape for sealing the fitting portion between the main body 1 and the lid 2.

In the above embodiment, the film-integrated camera C is lowered into the main body 1 along the inclined surfaces 4a, 4a' of the regulating ribs 4.4' and is housed therein. And the regulating rib 4.4' is the camera C.
The camera C comes into contact with the outer surface of the camera C, and restricts the movement of the camera C in the vertical and horizontal directions. Next, when the lid body 2 is fitted from above, the regulating ribs 3.3' come into contact with each ridgeline of the camera C to regulate its movement in the vertical, longitudinal, and horizontal directions. Therefore, the movement of the camera C in the main body 1 in all directions is restricted, and there is no wobbling.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention provides a storage container for a film-integrated camera consisting of a container main body and a lid that can be fitted onto the main body, in which the inner ridgeline of the lid comes into contact with the ridgeline of the camera. It is characterized by the provision of a sagging control rib, so it can be used regardless of changes in the position of the camera in the depth direction.
Movement in the vertical, longitudinal, and horizontal directions can be regulated.

As a result, simply by integrally molding the triangular ribs and the lid, various troubles caused by rattling can be eliminated, which is an excellent effect.

Moreover, by providing rattling regulating ribs on the inner wall surface of the main body that abut against the side surfaces of the camera, it is possible to particularly restrict movement of the camera in the vertical and horizontal directions within the main body. As a result, by simply molding the columnar ribs integrally with the main body,
This has the excellent effect of more reliably preventing rattling.
