Embodiment Construction

[0029] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0030] figure 1 It is an external view of a camera according to an embodiment of the present invention. Among the figure, 1 is the front protective cover of camera main body. 2 is a camera protection cover, which basically forms a perfect circular shape, and is mounted on the front housing 1 by a predetermined amount of free rotation. An operating handle 2a protrudes from one end of its circumference, and the camera operator operates the operating part 2a to rotate the camera protective cover 2 in the forward rotation direction (a) and the reverse rotation direction (b). In this way, by forming the camera protection cover 2 in a circular shape and rotating it around the center of the circle, the area occupied by the camera protection cover 2 in the surface area of ​​the front case 1 can be kept from being small.

[0031] Next, an opening 2 b is p...

Abstract

An image capture apparatus including a protective cover that performs an opening action to expose (uncover) the image capture optical system; a rotary device rotate from an initial position in a first direction to do open the protective cover and rotatable from the initial position in a second direction to close the protective cover; and an energizing member that returns the rotary device to the initial position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device having a lens guard (protective shutter) for shielding an imaging lens. Background technique [0002] In the compact camera market, cameras having a protective barrier mechanism for protecting the lens surface while being carried are popular, and conventionally, types with various mechanisms and decorations have been put into practical use. [0003] Figure 18 A previous example is given. Figure 18 Among them, 21 is the front protective cover of the camera body. 22 is a protective baffle cover, with respect to the groove-shaped slideways 21a and 21b arranged on the front protective cover 21, the installation hooks 22a and 22b are hung to install the protective baffle cover 22, which can slide along the groove-shaped slideways 21a and 21b . 23 is an imaging lens. 24 is a flash light emitting unit for irradiating auxiliary light to a subject when capturing a dark subject. 25 is a viewfinder window f...
