Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] The display on the back cover of the camera can be easily changed without cost. [Structure] A sticker surface 5 is formed on the back cover 3 according to the size of the sticker 7. A ridge 8 is integrally formed on the lower edge of the sticker surface 5. The ridge 8 serves as a positioning guide when the seal 7 is attached.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a back cover for a camera to which a sticker on which a description or the like is printed is attached.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For data-embedded cameras capable of imprinting the shooting date and other characters, and cameras equipped with various controls, the back cover of the camera can be used so that the user can use these functions correctly. Some of them have a brief description of use or a symbol mark printed on them.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if the back cover is directly printed as described above, it may not be possible to use the back cover as it is even if the function of the camera is slightly changed. In such a case, it is uneconomical to prepare a new back cover even if the size of the back cover and the attachment method to the camera body are the same. Even if a camera with the same function is used, if the back cover is subjected to various types of printing according to the needs of the shipping destination, the printing cost will be high, especially for low-cost cameras, and the printing cost will increase. It was difficult to respond.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and provides a back cover for a camera capable of displaying a description or the like without increasing the cost. The purpose is to

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is such that these labels are printed on a sticker and the sticker is affixed to the back cover of the camera without directly printing the display such as an explanatory note on the back cover of the camera. In order to enable the sticking work of this sticker accurately and quickly, in addition to the sticker sticking surface, the back cover is formed with a guide wire as a guide when sticking the sticker.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a rear view of a continuous shooting camera using the present invention. Eight shooting lenses are arranged in the horizontal direction on the front side of this continuous shooting camera, and a continuous shooting screen of eight frames can be shot by one release operation. Since the continuous shooting screen of 8 frames is shot in 2 frames of 35 mm full size, the camera body 2 and the back cover 3 are horizontally long as compared with a normal camera.

The back cover 3 is attached to the camera body 2 by a hinge portion 4 so as to be openable and closable, and is opened and closed when the film is loaded and unloaded. A flat seal attaching surface 5 is formed on the back cover 3 substantially in the center thereof. As shown in FIG. 2, a sticker 7 on which a general display 6 such as a description of the operation of the camera is printed is stuck to the sticker sticking surface 5. As shown in the cross section of the main part of FIG. 3, the back cover 3 is integrally formed with a ridge 8 having a length of about 70 mm, which is almost the same as the length of the seal 7, so as to contact the lower side of the seal attaching surface 5. There is. The ridge 8 has a hemispherical cross section with a radius of about 0.15 mm, and its surface is an embossed surface like the entire back cover 3.

The ridge 8 is used as a positioning guide for the lower edge of the seal 7 when the sticking operation of the seal 7 is performed. The position where the ridge 8 is provided is preferably determined so as to face the rib 9 used for attaching the film pressure plate on the inner surface of the back cover 3. According to this, when the back cover 3 is manufactured by injection molding, the ribs 9 cause sink marks, or the ribs 9 cause unevenness when the surface of the back cover 3 is uniformly textured. Moreover, these can be made inconspicuous by the ridges 8. Of course, it is possible to cover up the sink marks and the unevenness on the sticker sticking surface 5 with the sticker 7. Also, for example, if a pair of ridges 8 are provided on the upper and lower sides, the gap and parallelism between the upper and lower sides of the seal 7 and the respective ridges tend to be noticed when the seal 7 is attached. It is preferable to make a book.

The film winding is performed by rotating the winding dial 10 with the belly of the thumb. A recess 11 is formed in the back cover 3 to facilitate this operation. In this way, by providing the depression 11 under the winding dial 10, the winding dial 10 can be easily operated with the thumb without the winding dial 10 being largely projected to the back side. Reference numeral 12 indicates an observation window for confirming the type of film loaded in the camera, and reference numeral 13 indicates a viewfinder eyepiece.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. When the general-purpose seal 7 shown in FIG. 2 is attached to the back cover 3, the lower end of the seal 7 is brought into contact with the ridge 8 as shown in FIG. Since the length of the ridge 8 is almost the same as that of the seal 7, the position where the seal 7 is attached can be easily determined. By providing the ridges 8 in the longitudinal direction of the back lid 3, it is also useful to improve the strength of the laterally long back lid 3 together with the ribs 9 on the inner surface side.

When aiming at, for example, a golf course as a sales channel of the continuous shooting camera, a sticker 15 as shown in FIG. 4 is attached to the back cover 3 instead of the general sticker 7 shown in FIG. The seal 15 has the same outer diameter dimension as the general-purpose seal 7, and only the printed display 16 is different. Therefore, the sticking operation of the sticker 15 may be exactly the same as that of the sticker 7, and by simply changing the sticker, the display suitable for the market can be provided on the back cover 3. Of course, if the back cover 3 can be diverted as it is, even if the functions of the cameras are different, it suffices to prepare corresponding stickers and attach them to the back cover 3.

The present invention has been described above based on the illustrated embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to only the case back for the continuous shooting camera. Further, the length and cross-sectional shape of the ridge can be variously changed, and short protrusions can be arranged along the outline of the seal instead of the ridge, or grooves can be used instead of the protrusions.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the back cover itself is not linearly printed with the description or the like, the sticker on which the display is printed is attached to the back cover. ， The back cover can be labeled according to the function. Therefore, it is possible to provide a display corresponding to a small lot of cameras. Moreover, since the guide wire for sticking the seal is integrally formed on the back cover, the workability is good, and it greatly contributes to the cost reduction of the camera. Furthermore, when a back cover is manufactured by injection molding, sink marks or unevenness may appear, but there is an advantage that such a part can be hidden by a seal.
