Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention has a built-in electronic clock device that displays the time on the outside, and can be placed in a state in which photography is possible or in a stored state in which photography is not possible, and the time display is displayed in the stored state. To provide a camera with a built-in clock that gives the appearance of a table clock and prevents the time from being erroneously adjusted unnecessarily during photographing operations.

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views showing an example of the present invention in a bellows-type spring camera, Figures 3 and 4 are perspective views showing an example of a camera with a pop-up viewfinder, and Figure 5 is a perspective view showing an example of a camera with a pop-up viewfinder. FIG. 3 is a block circuit diagram of the display.

In the figure, 1 is a time display unit consisting of a liquid crystal display device, a light emitting element display device, etc., 2 is a time adjustment switch, 3 is a front cover of the camera, 4 is a camera body, 5 is a correction changeover switch, 6 is a fig., and 7 is a crystal. It is a vibrator.

In the bellows-type spring cameras shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the camera front cover 3 is opened from the stored state in which photography is not possible, that is, the state shown in FIG. Since the correction changeover switch 5, which had been pressed and closed by the front cover 3, is opened and the time correction circuit is not closed as shown in FIG.
The time will not be adjusted even if you press .

Since the correction changeover switch 5 is closed when the camera front cover 3 is closed, when the time correction switch 2 is pressed and connected, the time correction circuit is closed and the time is corrected.

In the viewfinder pop-up type camera shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a correction changeover switch (not shown) is closed when the viewfinder 6 is retracted and in a non-photographable state, and when the viewfinder 6 is in a pop-up state ready for photography, the correction changeover switch is opened. Similar to the cameras shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the time can be adjusted using the time adjustment switch 2 only in the stored state.

Note that 8 in FIGS. 3 and 4 is a pop-up built-in strobe.

The present invention is not limited to the illustrated example; for example, in the cameras shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the camera front cover 3 is opened to enable shooting, the time adjustment switch 2
It may be hidden in a state where it cannot be easily operated, and it goes without saying that the changeover switch 5 is not necessary in such a case.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

1 to 4 are perspective views showing an example of a camera according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a block circuit diagram of a time display. 1: Time display section, 2: Time correction switch, 3: Camera front cover, 4: Camera body, 5: Correction selector switch, 6: Viewfinder, 7: Crystal oscillator, 8: Built-in strobe.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A camera in which the photographic lens is housed inside and the camera body and front cover can be folded into a box shape, or at least a photographable state in which the finder protrudes outside the camera body, and a photographic non-capable state in which the finder is pushed into the camera body. In the removable and stored state,
A camera that has a box-like shape when viewed from the back side is provided with an electronic clock device inside, and a time display section thereof is provided on the front or back side, and only when the camera is in the folded or stored state, the time adjustment switch is operated. A camera built into a clock, characterized in that a correction changeover switch is provided to close a time correction circuit.
