Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a film unit with a lens provided with a photographing mechanism such as a photographing lens and a shutter, and more particularly to a camera which can accommodate the photographing lens and is made thin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional camera of this type, in order to make the camera thin, a lens is configured to be retracted by a spring and a bellows, and the thickness of the camera is limited when the camera is stored in a bag for storing the camera. There is something like this.

[0003]

However, when the photographing lens is retracted to limit the camera thickness as described above,
If the camera has a structure in which the shooting lens retracts only when the camera is in the bag, the shooting lens remains protruding after the camera is removed from the bag. It was bulky. In addition, the photographing lens may be damaged due to friction with the outside. The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and by moving a member that protects a photographic lens, the lens can be collapsed, is not bulky when placed in a bag, etc., and protects the lens. The objective is to provide a film with a lens that can be used.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lens-equipped film provided with a photographing mechanism such as a photographing lens and a shutter, wherein the photographing lens has a projecting position at which photographing is possible and a storage position. A lens protection member that is movably supported between the lens and that protects the lens when it is stored is movably provided, and when the lens protection member is moved to a position that protects the lens, the lens is in the storage position. It is configured to be moved in conjunction with each other.

[0005]

According to the above construction, the photographing lens can be moved between the projecting position where the photographing lens can be photographed and the retracted position, and the lens protecting member for protecting the photographing lens can be moved. When the lens is moved to the protection position, the lens is moved to the storage position.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A lens-attached film (hereinafter referred to as a camera) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the internal configuration of the camera. FIG. 2A shows the state in which the photographing lens of the camera is housed, and FIG. 2B shows the state in which the photographing lens of the camera projects. In these figures, a camera body 1 mainly composed of a film with a lens is covered with a packaging member 2, and a taking lens 3 is movably supported by a bellows 4 and a lens barrel 5 supported by the packaging member 2. ing. The taking lens 3 and the lens barrel 5 are fixed to each other, and a spring 6 is provided between the taking lens 3 and the camera body 1.
The spring 6 is supported by the lens barrel 5 and urges the taking lens 3 in the protruding position direction. Further, the lens barrel 5 is fitted in a recess 7 provided inside the camera body 1, and the lens barrel 5 can freely slide and move at the time of storage and projection. Further, the camera body 1 has a shutter device 8 and an exposure aperture 9 behind the taking lens 3 as an exposure mechanism.
The film F pulled out from the cartridge 12 in the cartridge chamber 11 passes through the film gate 10 after exposure and passes through the film gate 10 by a winding mechanism (not shown) to reel 14 in the film winding chamber 13.
To be wound up.

A shutter release button 21 is provided on the upper surface of the packaging member 2, and a photographing lens protection member 22 is rotatably formed on the lower portion of the front surface. As shown in FIG. 2A, the taking lens protection member 22 completely covers the taking lens 3 and the bellows 4 when stored. It should be noted that the inner surface 2 of the tip of the photographing lens protection member 22
3 is provided with a double-sided tape (not shown) so that it is locked to the upper surface of the packaging member 2 when stored.

Next, the operation of changing the photographing lens of the photographing lens of the above-mentioned structure from the photographable protruding state to the retracted state will be described. In FIG. 2B, the taking lens 3 projects from the camera body 1 and is ready for taking a picture.
When the taking lens protection member 22 is moved to a position for protecting the taking lens as shown in FIG. 2A to move the taking lens 3 to the storage position, the taking lens 3 and the lens barrel 5 press the spring 6. It is retracted and stored in the recess 7.
Then, with the double-sided tape provided on the surface 23 of the photographing lens protection member 22, the photographing lens protection member 22 is locked to the upper surface of the packaging member 2, that is, the upper surface of the camera body 1, so that the camera is in the stored state.

Next, a lens-equipped camera (hereinafter referred to as a camera) according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 3A is a state in which the photographing lens of the camera is stored, FIG. 3B is a state in which the photographing lens of the camera is projected, and FIG. 3C is a state in which the photographing lens is projected from above. Shows the state you saw. In these figures, the taking lens protection member 32 is configured to wrap the camera body 1 from one side. The long hole 33 provided on the upper surface of the taking lens protection member 32 is fitted into a protrusion 34 provided on the upper surface of the packaging member 2 so as to be slidable. The taking lens 3 is movably supported by the bellows 4 and the lens barrel 5 supported by the packaging member 2, and is biased in a direction projecting from the camera body 1 as in the previous embodiment. Then, in this embodiment, the packaging member 2
A lens pushing plate 35 is attached to the one end of the pushing plate 35. The pushing plate 35 has one end movable and abuts the bellows 4 from the side. In the above structure, when the photographing lens protection member 32 is moved from the state shown in FIG. 3B to the position for protecting the photographing lens shown in FIG. 3A, one end edge of the lens pushing plate 33 pushes the lens pushing plate. Then, the bellows 4 is compressed toward the storage position, and the photographing lens 3 is retracted. So,
The taking lens 3 is put in the stored state.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the lens-equipped film, the lens protection member is movably provided between the photographing position and the storage position, and the lens protection member is moved to form the photographing lens. Since the photographing lens is retracted and stored at the same time as it is protected, it is not bulky when placed in a bag or the like, and the lens is not damaged by friction with the outside.
