Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT The present invention relates to a cover for a camera device.

As a conventional cover for a camera device, etc., a cover 1 as shown in FIG. 1 is used, which has a structure that takes into account ease of handling, reduction in manufacturing man-hours, and the like. It has a structure in which the bottom of the cover 1, which is constructed by bending a single plate, is screwed. When attaching such a cover 1 to a camera device, etc., it can be placed over the outer frame of the camera device main body 2 by moving it in the direction of arrow A along the inside of the cover 1, or by moving the bottom of the cover 1 in the direction of arrow B. It is opened to cover the main body 2 of the device. The cover 1 having such a structure has a good appearance because the number of screws and parts constituting the cover is small, and the screws are hard to see on the outside. However, since the cover 1 and the device main body 2 are manufactured without any gaps, it is difficult to attach the cover 1 by sliding the inside of the cover 1 along the outer frame of the device main body 2 during assembly. Furthermore, if the bottom part is opened in the direction of arrow B, it will be easier to attach and detach, but the opening force must be adjusted so that the entire cover 1 does not curve. Especially if the plate is thin, the plate may curve. Sometimes I put it away.

Further, a cover 4 is known which is composed of two side plates 4a and 4b as shown in FIG. 2, and has a hinge 3 at the abutting portion in the center. Like the cover 1 shown in FIG. 1, this cover can be easily attached and detached without being bent during attachment, but the appearance is extremely poor.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel cover that can be easily attached and detached by eliminating these conventional drawbacks and has an excellent appearance.

According to the present invention, a cover that is detachable and openable and closable can be obtained by providing a joint portion consisting of a groove and a protrusion in the upper part of the cover.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which side plates 5 and 6 are detachably attached at fitting portions 7. FIG. The fitting part 7 is formed by inserting an L-shaped protrusion 9 formed at the end of the side plate 6 into a U-shaped groove 8 formed at the end of the side plate 5, and by butting the side plates 5 and 6 together to form the cover 10. do. Furthermore, the fitting part 7 is connected to the U-shaped groove 8 of the side plate 5 and the inserted side plate 6.
It is made slightly wider than the plate thickness of the L-shaped protrusion so that it can easily rotate in the direction of arrow B when opening and closing with the L-shaped protrusion 9, and the gap is minimized when it is fixed to the main body 2 of the device.

In order to attach the cover 10 constructed as described above to the apparatus main body 2, the bottom of the cover 10, which is butted against each other in the state shown in FIG. 3, is opened in the direction of arrow B and placed over the apparatus main body 2. Next, the bottom of the cover 10 is returned to the state shown in FIG. 3, and the apparatus main body 2 and the bottom of the cover 10 are fixed with screws. When removing the cover 10, the screws at the bottom are removed again, the bottom is opened in the direction of arrow B, and the cover 10 is lifted up, so that it can be easily removed from the device main body 2.

As described above, according to the present invention, the simple structure in which the two side plates are provided with the fitting part 7 consisting of the U-shaped groove 8 and the L-shaped protrusion 9 prevents damage such as bending distortion to the cover. This provides a cover for a camera device, etc., which is easy to attach and detach, and has an excellent appearance since screws and the like are not easily visible from the outside.

Furthermore, it is extremely convenient because it can be used not only as a cover for a camera device, but also as an exterior cover for other devices.
