力端子用キャップに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cap for an input / output terminal of a camera, and is particularly provided to prevent dust and static electricity in an input / output terminal of an electronic still camera, a video camera and the like. And I / O terminal caps for cameras.
従来、カメラの入出力端子用キャップは、ケース本体
とに接続部がない為、入出力端子用キャップをケース本
体から取り外した場合には、前記キャップを紛失してし
まうという問題があった。Conventionally, since the input / output terminal cap of the camera has no connection with the case main body, there is a problem that the cap is lost when the input / output terminal cap is removed from the case main body.
一方、測定機器の分野では、第３図に示すようなキャ

記嵌合部25と21Cとを嵌合させることによりキャップ本
体20をロックさせていた。On the other hand, in the field of measuring instruments, there is a cap as shown in FIG. The cap includes a cap body 20 that opens and closes with respect to the case body 22, and a cap mounting portion housed in a case upper cover 22A and a bottom cover 22B attached to the cap body 20 via a string-like connecting portion 21B. 21A and a fitting portion 21C provided on the cap body 20 to be fitted with the fitting portion 25 provided with the input / output terminal 24, are integrally formed, and the fitting portions 25 and 21C are fitted together. As a result, the cap body 20 was locked.

があった。また、キャップ本体20をロックさせた場合、
ひも状の連結部21Bはキャップ本体20の開閉用の為多少
長めに設けられているので、ケース本体22の外側方向に

的にも良好とはいえなかった。However, in the input / output terminal cap shown in FIG. 3, since the connecting portion 21B connecting the cap body 20 and the cap attaching portion 21A is formed in a string shape, the strength is weak and the durability is poor. . Therefore, if the cap body 20 is frequently opened and closed, there is a disadvantage that the connecting portion main body, the boundary between the cap attaching portion of the connecting portion, and the boundary between the connecting portion and the cap main body are damaged. When the cap body 20 is locked,
Since the string-shaped connecting portion 21B is provided slightly longer for opening and closing the cap body 20, it is curved outwardly of the case body 22 and protrudes from the case body 22, which is good in appearance and design. I couldn't say.
本発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、カ

たことを特徴とする。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a camera input / output terminal cap for protecting an input / output terminal provided on a camera, the cross section of which is formed in a substantially L-shape, and a tip portion thereof is provided. A cap mounting portion that is housed in the camera case from the opening near the input / output terminal and abuts on the inner wall of the camera case when housed in the camera case, and has a rear end located in the opening. A cap body that covers the input / output terminal and fits into the camera case near the input / output terminal or the input / output terminal, and a wide and band-shaped flexible body that can bend the rear end portion of the cap mounting portion and the cap body. It is characterized in that the cap body is integrally formed via a hinge portion, and the cap body is opened and closed by bending the cap body at the hinge portion.

外観を損なうことがない。According to the present invention, the connecting portion connecting the cap body and the cap mounting portion is formed from a conventional cord to the hinge portion, so that the hinge portion main body, the boundary between the hinge portion and the cap body, and the hinge portion are formed. The rigidity of each of the boundary portions with the cap mounting portion can be increased. Therefore, the durability in opening and closing the cap body can be improved. Further, the cap body is bent at an acute angle with respect to the hinge part, and when the cap body is closed, the hinge part does not protrude from the case body, so that the aesthetic appearance of the camera is not spoiled.
以下添付図面に従って本発明に係るカメラの入出力端
子用キャップの好ましい実施例を詳説する。Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a cap for an input / output terminal of a camera according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
