Abstract

PURPOSE:To make mechanical and electrical connection surely and accurately without spoiling appearance by cords by making connection between a camera and a VTR by special structure without using electrical connecting cords. CONSTITUTION:When connecting a camera 1 and VTR7, inserting part 4a of the groove 4 of the camera 1 side is opposed to a hook 9 of the VTR7 side, and the first connector 2 held at initial position by energizing of a spring 6 is opposed to the second connector 8. The hook 9 is inserted to the inserting part 4a of the groove 4 and connectors 2, 8 are connected. At this time, one of hooks 9 is pushed up by a holding lever 11 resisting energizing force of a spring 10, and the camera 1 is moved upward. Then, the hook 9 is put in the joining part 4b of the groove 4 and its lateral direction is fixed. Further, the lever 11 is disconnected from the hook 9, and the tip pushes outer diameter of the hook 9 to fix it in longitudinal direction. Thus, mechanical and electrical connection is made surely and accurately without using connecting cords.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an integrated VTR in which a camera and a VTR can be separated.

Conventional techniques and in-between conventional cameras and VTRs include separate types that use cords for electrical connection, and integrated types that are pre-assembled into one unit. Among these, the one-minute type has problems such as not only is it troublesome to connect and disconnect the connector, but also the cord gets in the way when using it.Also, the one-minute type has problems such as the cord getting in the way when using it.In addition, the one-minute type has problems such as the cord getting in the way when using it, and because both cameras and VTRs have become smaller, the one-minute type has problems such as being able to hang the VTR from the shoulder. Although it is convenient because it can be used without lowering it, it is especially difficult to carry when not in use;
6. It is desirable to be able to separate into smaller pieces when
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and it is possible to electrically connect a camera and a VTR without using a cord so that they can be used as an integrated unit, and can be easily used when carried. The purpose is to provide a separable integrated VTR.

Configuration of example Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a connecting part on the camera side of an embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a side sectional view showing the connecting part on the VTR side, Fig. 3 is a side sectional view showing the connection state of the camera side connector and the VTR side connector, and Fig. 4 is a side sectional view of the connecting part on the camera side and VTR side.
FIG. 5 is a partial side sectional view showing a state in which the VTR side hook is inserted into the camera side hole, and FIG. 6 is a side view showing the state in which the camera and VTR are connected.

A hole 3 from which the tip 2a of the connector 2 protrudes is formed in the coupling surface of the camera 1, and near the hole 3, a hook provided on the VTR side, which will be described later, is engaged with an insertion portion 4a into which a hook is inserted. A plurality of grooves 4 each having a portion 4b are provided. The connector 2 is fixed to a plate 5 that is held slidably in the vertical direction inside the camera 1, and the tip portion 2a protruding from the hole 3 is movable in the vertical direction. The plate 5 is always biased upward in FIG. 1 by a spring 6 suspended between a protrusion 5a formed on the side surface and a pin la implanted inside the camera 1.

On the other hand, on the coupling surface of the VTR 7, there is a connector 8 connected to the connector 2, and a connector 8 inserted into the groove 4.

A hook 9 to be engaged is provided so that when the hook 9 is inserted into the groove 4, the connector 8 faces and is connected to the connector 2 held at the initial position by the biasing force of the spring 6. It is configured.

Further, a holding lever 11 is provided inside the camera 1, and is given a pressing force toward the inner wall of the camera 1 by a spring 10 and a rotating force clockwise in FIG. 1, and one end of the holding lever 11 is 6 Vertical bent portion 1 formed on the side surface of the holding lever 11 covering one of the insertion portions 4a of the groove 4
The lock release button 12 whose one end is in contact with the spring lO
The rotation of the holding lever 11 due to the urging force of the spring 10 is restricted, and by pressing the other end slightly protruding from the side of the camera 1, the holding lever 11 can be rotated counterclockwise against the urging force of the spring lO. It is meant to move.

Next, the operation of one embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above will be explained.

First, when connecting the camera l and the VTR 7, when the insertion part 4a of the groove 4 on the camera side and the hook 9 on the VTR side are opposed to each other, the biasing force of the spring 6 holds them in the initial position shown in the first figure. Since the connector 2 on the VTR side faces the connector 8 on the VTR side, the connector 2 and the connector 8 are also connected by inserting the hook 9 into the insertion portion 4a of the groove 4. At this time, one of the hooks 9 is pushing up the holding lever 11 against the biasing force of the spring 10 as shown in the fifth figure, but from this state, the camera l is moved upward as shown in the second figure ( or by moving the VTR 7 (downward), the hook 9 enters the engaging portion 4b of the groove 4 and is fixed laterally, and the holding lever 11 is removed from the head of the hook 9 so that its tip is attached to the outer diameter of the hook 9.

As for S-I N-1, -+ 7y 0, only the horizontal direction is fixed by entering the engaging portion 4b of the groove 4. Furthermore, when the hook 9 moves from the insertion part 4a of the groove 4 to the engagement part 4b, the connector 2 which is already connected to the connector 8 receives the downward force shown in FIG. 1 and resists the urging force of the spring 6. The connection operation is not hindered.

Next, when separating the camera 1 and the VTR 7, when the lock release button 12 is pressed and operated, one end of the lock release button 12 presses the vertically bent portion 11a of the holding lever 11, and the holding lever 11 is applied with the biasing force of the spring IO. The vertical lock of the hook 9 is released by rotating it counterclockwise in FIG. the insertion section 4a, and then the insertion section 4.
Separation is completed by separating from a. When the camera 1 and the VTR 7 are separated, the connector 2 and the connector 8 are separated by an operation of removing the hook 9 from the insertion portion 4a of the groove 4. In addition, when the separation is completed, the connector 2 is held at the initial position shown in FIG. Moving groove 4
Return to the position covering the insertion portion 4a.

-Effects As described above, according to the present invention, the electrical connection between the camera and the VTR can be made without using a cord, so the cord does not spoil the appearance.

Further, it has the advantage that electrical and mechanical separation and connection can be easily and reliably performed.
