JPH06308590A - Operating button - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To conform the positions of button with the hands of various sizes and to improve operability by forming an operating button like a sheet and sticking it to an arbitrary place. CONSTITUTION:The grip part 3 of a video camera has a video recording button 1 and a zooming button 2. The video recording button 1 and the zooming button 2 are in the shape of the sheet and can be stuck to the arbitrary place of the grip 3. Moreover, the buttons 1 and 2 and the grip 3 are fixed by a surface fastener, a double coated adhesive tape, etc. In other words, structure that the sheet-like operating buttons 1 and 2 are stuck by the surface fastener, etc., is adopted and the operating buttons 1 and 2 are stuck in conformity with the sizes of the hand and a finger, to obtain the easiest operation environment. Thus, operation environment for everybody that the positions of the buttons conform with the hands of any sizes can be obtained.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable electronic device, and more particularly to a video camera (including a VTR integrated video camera).
The present invention relates to an operation button suitable for use in.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The record button and zoom button of a video camera are constructed so that they can be operated by the hand supporting the main body of the video camera. Therefore, it may be difficult to operate due to the difference in the lengths of the hands and fingers. So, the conventional technology is
For example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-150877,
The structure is such that the button slides according to the length of the finger, but the amount of movement is small and movement is only in one direction, so it was not possible to satisfy all the conditions yet.

[0003]

Hands come in various sizes depending on the person. At the design stage, it fits a standard size hand, so people with small hands and people with short fingers cannot reach the buttons. On the other hand, a person with a large hand or a person with long fingers must operate in an unnatural posture. Therefore, there was nothing suitable for all users.

An object of the present invention is to improve the operability by aligning the positions of the buttons with the hands of various sizes.

[0005]

The above object can be achieved by forming the operation button in a sheet shape so that the operation button can be attached to an arbitrary place.

[0006]

[Function] A sheet-like operation button is attached with a hook-and-loop fastener, etc., and the operation button is attached according to the size of the hand and the length of the finger to create an environment that is the easiest to operate. Can be done.
