DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a so-called one-time-use camera, and more particularly to a simple camera which is loaded with a film in advance and can immediately take a picture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a disposable camera is a camera loaded with a film in advance, and is used only for photographing a single film. After photographing a built-in film, the film is developed with the film loaded in the camera. It is essential that the camera be inexpensive because it is sent to a location.

[0003] On the other hand, in addition to a simple camera for photographing a standard size screen which has been conventionally marketed due to the diversification of photographing applications, a simple camera having a different product series for wide-angle photography or panoramic photography has been developed. As a result, camera bodies themselves tend to be diversified.

[0004]

Since the diversification of the camera body results in an increase in the types of parts and a decrease in the efficiency of the assembling work, each of the above-mentioned simple-type cameras for wide-angle and panoramic photography is used as much as possible. It is desired that each member constituting the conventional standard size simplified camera can be shared.

[0005] For example, there is no problem with a standard size camera, but in a panoramic camera, a finger holding the camera often interrupts the optical path, and it is necessary to attach some component to prevent this. It is.

The present invention has solved and improved the above points,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a low cost camera of a simple type having a different product line by assembling extremely simple members by an easy operation.

[0007]

The above object is achieved by a first part.
And a second portion protruding from the back side of the first portion.
And a second part forming mold part for forming the second part
The second part forming mold part insertion formed in the first part by
A first member having a common escape hole and a first member having an engagement claw;
The engaging claws of two members are formed on a first portion of the first member.
Engaged with the escape hole for inserting the second part forming mold part
This is achieved by a simplified camera characterized in that a second member is attached to the first member .

[0008]

1 to 5 show one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a simple panoramic camera, also called a hand-held camera containing a 35 mm film (J135), in which 1 is a photographic lens, 2 is a protective member for the photographic lens, Denotes a finder, 4 denotes a shutter button, 5 denotes a film winding knob, and 6 denotes a film counter window.

The camera is constructed by sandwiching and integrating the photographing lens 1 with a camera body including a shutter, a mechanism for winding a film, a film storage chamber, and the like by front and rear covers also serving as exterior members. ing.

The camera has a standard size (24 × 36 mm) screen frame, the wide-angle shooting lens 1 is mounted on the camera, and the screen frame has a panoramic screen size (13 × 36 mm) screen. Inserting and engaging a frame member having a frame,
Further, by attaching a frame-shaped protective member to the periphery of the photographing lens 1, it is commercialized and used as a simplified camera dedicated to panoramic photography.

When the camera is gripped on both sides during photographing, the protection member 2 prevents the hand or finger from blocking the angle of view of the photographing lens 1, so that the camera is horizontal even for an unskilled beginner. Panoramic photos with a wide angle of view in each direction can be securely held and photographed.

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are front views of the main members constituting the camera, both of which are molded from a hard synthetic resin material.

Reference numeral 10 denotes the camera main body in which the taking lens 1 is mounted in a lens barrel 11, and a pair of locking claws 12 are formed on the front surface of the camera main body 10 so as to face each other. Have been. 20 is a second cover which covers the front of the camera body 10 .
A front cover, which is one member, wherein the front cover 20 includes an opening 21 through which the lens barrel 11 is inserted, and a finder 3;
Further , the locking claw 22, which is a pair of second portions, is provided on the camera body 1.
It is formed so as to protrude from the back surface of the first part of the first member corresponding to the locking claw 12 of zero.

The locking claw 22 is formed by a mold pushed out from the front side of the front cover 20. As a result , a forming mold is provided on the first part of the front surface of the front cover 20 which is the first member. A pair of square holes 23 that are in contact with the locking claws 22 are formed as escape holes to be inserted.

FIG. 4 shows the protection member 2 as a second member . The protection member includes a light-shielding frame 2A for regulating the angle of view in front of the photographing lens 1 and a frame-shaped rising protruding forward. The light shielding frame 2A and the rising portion 2B are provided to efficiently block unnecessary light incident on the photographing lens 1. Further, the rising portion 2B serves as a barrier for preventing a hand or finger holding the camera from entering the angle of view of the photographing lens.

Further, a pair of locking claws 2C corresponding to the square holes 23, a pair of mounting reference pins 2D and a supporting wall 2E are formed on the back surface of the protective member 2, respectively.

The above-mentioned members are integrated by engaging the respective locking claws with each other or with the above-mentioned square holes 23 to constitute the above-mentioned simplified camera.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along arrows AA, BB and CC in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, and shows a state of integration by engagement of the above-mentioned members.

When the front cover 20 is placed over the front surface of the camera body 10 and strongly pressed while the lens barrel 11 is inserted through the opening 21 of the camera body 10, the locking claw 22 is moved to the locking claw 12 of the camera body 10.
To be integrated with the camera body 10.

When the mounting reference pin 2D of the protective member 2 is fitted into the reference hole 24 of the front cover 20 which is integrally engaged with the camera body 10 and is pressed strongly, the locking claw 2 is formed.
C engages with the square holes 23 of the front cover 20, respectively. In this state, the support wall 2E abuts on the front surface of the front cover 20 and the protection member 2 is firmly supported, and the lens barrel 11 is integrated. The position is also held by the front cover 20.

[0022]

According to the present invention having such a structure, the protection section
The engaging holes provided in the front cover for mounting the material
Since it is also used as a relief hole in the mold part, to make an engagement hole
It is not necessary to make a dedicated mold part of the mold, the shape of the mold
A simple camera having an effect of simplifying the camera can be provided.
