JPH11275672A - Wind screen for microphone - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wind screen which will not absorb water content and prevents wind noises to secure the aural characteristic by applying a water repellent treatment to the wind screen which can removably cover the tip of a microphone. SOLUTION: A wind screen 2 removably covers a microphone main body 1, and the screen 2 is able to secure air permeability although the water repellent treatment is applied to it. Thus, such a screen 2 can prevent the water from penetrating into the screen 2 to protect the microphone, even when a camera is used in rainy weather. Furthermore, the screen 2 can ensure its original functions to prevent the recording of the wind noises and also can record the desired sounds, without spoiling the aural characteristic of the microphone since the air permeability is secured.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a windscreen for a microphone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, a microphone used outdoors has been covered with a windscreen made of a foamed resin in order to prevent recording of wind noise. The microphone is connected to a camera device, and the microphone body is held in a housing of the camera device.

[0003]

However, the windscreen of this type of microphone has a drawback that when photographing in rainy weather, rainwater floods the windscreen and interferes with the sound to be recorded. There has been a problem that the water that has reached reaches the microphone body and breaks down. Also, if the microphone is covered with a rain cover or the like in order to prevent inundation, there is a problem that a desired sound cannot be recorded.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and protects the microphone by preventing water from entering the windscreen even when shooting with a camera in rainy weather, and also prevents recording of wind noise and air permeability. It is intended to provide a microphone windscreen capable of recording desired sound because it is secured.

[0005]

In order to solve this problem, the windscreen of the microphone according to the present invention is subjected to a water-repellent treatment, but the ventilation is ensured.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention relates to a windscreen which is detachably mounted on the tip of a microphone. Even in the case of (1), it is possible to satisfy the windscreen's original function of protecting the microphone by preventing water from entering the windscreen and preventing recording of wind noise.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. (Embodiment 1) FIG.
FIG. 1 shows a side view (partial cross-sectional view) of the microphone. In FIG. 1, a windscreen 2 is detachably mounted on the microphone body 1. The wind screen 2 is subjected to a water-repellent treatment.

The microphone constructed as described above is
As shown in FIG. 2, the camera recorder 3 holds the microphone holder 4.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the windscreen from being flooded even in the case of camera shooting in rainy weather by applying a water-repellent treatment to the windscreen detachably mounted on the tip of the microphone. Thus, the microphone body is protected, wind noise is prevented from being recorded, and ventilation is ensured. Therefore, an advantageous effect that the sound characteristics of the microphone are not impaired can be obtained.
