Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a raincoat for cameras, and particularly to a waterproof raincoat for preventing the camera and the photographer's hands from getting wet due to rain when taking pictures during rain.

Various types of waterproof raincoats have been proposed to allow still cameras, especially 35mm cameras, to take pictures even in rainy weather. Conventional raincoats for cameras include those that cover both the camera and the photographer, and those that cover only the camera and allow the photographer to operate the camera by inserting both hands through the openings at the hem of the raincoat. be. In the former type, since the photographer's upper body and camera are covered, the interior of the raincoat tends to fog up due to the photographer's breathing, which impairs the effectiveness of monitoring the subject and the moisture-proofing effect of the camera. In the latter type of raincoat that only covers the camera, the photographer holds the camera by inserting both hands through the opening at the hem of the raincoat, and the camera is taken with the tip of the lens taken out from the hole in the raincoat. and
The viewfinder eyepiece of the camera had to monitor the subject through the transparent member of the raincoat, which had the disadvantage that the viewfinder effect was hindered. In addition, the camera must be held in the photographer's hand, which is inserted through the hem of the raincoat, and the camera cannot be held by hanging it from the neck with a neck strap.
This is inconvenient when one person operates more than one camera.

The object of the present invention is to provide a new type of raincoat that improves the drawbacks of the conventional camera raincoats as described above. The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a developed plan view showing an embodiment of a camera raincoat according to the present invention. In the figure, A is a front sheet which is made of a colorless and transparent flexible waterproof sheet and has the shape as shown in the figure. B is a rear sheet made of a textured colored flexible waterproof sheet and has a substantially semicircular shape, and these two sheets A and B are sewn together at section c. The front sheet A is a transparent sheet through which various operating parts of the camera can be seen from the outside. In addition, the rear seat is a colored sheet with a texture, so that when the raincoat is unfolded from a folded state, it sticks to each other and prevents it from being difficult to open. It uses parts. The front seat A and the rear seat B are formed so that their both sides overlap, and hooks 1 to 6 are provided for fastening these parts. It is also possible to use a velvet fastener instead of a hook. A notch is provided in the center of the front sheet A, and a belt-shaped sheet part is provided in which the tip of the lens barrel of the camera is attached, and velvet type fasteners 7A and 7B are provided in this part.
Velvet type fasteners 8A and 8B are arranged at the edges of the cutout of the front sheet A to secure the hem of the raincoat in times of strong wind and rain.
A hole 9 for fixing a viewfinder eyepiece of a camera is provided near the center of the rear seat.

Figures 2a and 2b are front and rear perspective views of the raincoat shown in Figure 1 being attached to a camera. As shown in the figure, the belt-like sheets 7A and 7B of the lens attachment part of the front sheet are wrapped around the tip of the lens barrel of the camera and fixed with a velvet fastener. Further, the viewfinder eyepiece attachment portion of the front seat is attached and fixed to the peripheral attachment groove of the eyepiece of the camera. In addition, the wrist strap attached to the camera can be pulled out from the overlap between the front and rear sheets of the raincoat as shown in the figure.

FIG. 3 is a plan view and a sectional view showing details of the eyepiece attachment part of the camera raincoat of the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a hole, and 12 is a hole 11.
The sewing or welding part that forms the periphery of the
This part is made of a material with sufficient elasticity (such as rubber) and is configured to be airtightly attached to camera eyepiece windows of various shapes and sizes. The figure uses a combination of arcs and straight lines, but this is because camera eyepiece windows are rectangular or round in various sizes, so they can be airtightly mounted using their elasticity. However, shapes other than those shown in FIG. 3 may be used. Reference numeral 13 denotes a sewing or welding portion between the attachment hole peripheral portion 14 and the raincoat sheet made of the stretchable material.

Fig. 4 is a plan view and a sectional view showing an embodiment in which a camera eyepiece is attached to the eyepiece mounting portion shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 4a shows a case where a square eyepiece is attached, and Fig. 4b shows a round eyepiece. The following figure shows the case in which the is installed. In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes the edge of the square eyepiece, and the rectilinear portion of the hole periphery 12 of the eyepiece attachment portion of the raincoat is fitted into the left and right grooves 16' of the square eyepiece, thereby fixing the eyepiece. In the case of a round eyepiece 17, the portion 12 is fitted into the round edge of the camera eyepiece and fixed as shown in FIG. 4b. At this time, the upper and lower arcuate portions above the mounting portion are brought into close contact with the peripheral portion of the square eyepiece by the stretchable material. Note that 18 is a camera body.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing details of the neck strap pull-out portion of the camera raincoat of the present invention. In the figure, 21 is a network strap, 22
23 is a camera body, 23 is a hanging metal fitting, 24 is an overlapping portion of the front sheet and rear sheet of the raincoat, and 25 is a portion that is fastened with a hook or velvet type fastener. As shown, the neck stop 21 is pulled out through the gap in the overlapping portion 24 of the raincoat, and this portion is adapted to be secured with a hook or velvet fastener 25. With this structure, the waterproof effect of the drawer part is high, and the raincoat can be easily attached to and removed from the camera, and the camera can be used with the neck strap always hanging from the neck.

In the camera raincoat of the present invention having the above structure, the raincoat is composed of a front part of a colorless transparent sheet and a rear part of a textured colored sheet, so that it can be easily attached to and removed from the camera. The lens has a raincoat attached to its tip and is completely attached to the camera by attaching it to the eyepiece mounting hole. At the same time, the camera can be held at all times with a neck strap, so it is not rain-resistant. The coat has a waterproof effect and is convenient for holding the camera, and the photographer can operate the camera by inserting both hands through the hem opening of the raincoat, and the monitoring effect of the viewfinder is not hindered in any way by using the raincoat. It has many features. Even when using the raincoat of the present invention, lenses can be easily replaced, and the hem of the raincoat can be stopped even in strong winds and rain, so it has a waterproof effect and is suitable for use with a tripod.
