[0006]

In the conventional sports pack, the lower part of the half cabinet is connected by the hinge part and the buckle is attached to the upper part. Therefore, when the half cabinet is opened and closed, it is present between them. The hinge side of the waterproof packing is always pressed first,
Since the pressing force gradually moves from the hinge part side to the buckle side, the pressing force on the waterproof packing becomes uneven, and the degree of deformation on the hinge part side and the buckle side will differ due to long-term use. , Cause water leakage.

Further, in the above-mentioned pull-on type buckle, it is necessary to attach or detach the hook portion 4 of the connecting plate 1 to or from the engaging portion of the lid when attaching or detaching the lid. Not only is it troublesome and the workability is poor, but there is also the problem that it lacks stability in the covered state.

Further, in the above-mentioned hook type, the hook 7 must be hooked while pressing the main body portion 6 and the lid portion 8 from both sides, so that many attachment and detachment of the lid portion are required. It has a problem that it requires labor.

Therefore, in the conventional example, it is possible to prevent the water leakage due to the deformation of the waterproof packing, and to simplify the workability and the stability of the installation when the main body and the lid are attached and detached by the buckle. Has challenges that must be addressed.

EXAMPLE The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated example. In FIG. 1, the sports pack is composed of a tubular main body 11 and a lid 12, and is arranged in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. That is, the front and rear can be separated. The lid 12 can be attached and detached by, for example, a pair of upper and lower buckles 13 provided near the opening of the main body 11.

The buckle 13 is not limited to the upper and lower parts of the main body 11 and may be in the left or right direction or in an oblique direction. The point is that both buckles are provided at symmetrical positions.

The front side of the main body 11 is fitted with a windshield 14 facing the lens portion of a video camera or the like housed therein, and a microphone (stereo) 15 is attached to one side (left side when viewed from the front). ) Is provided with a grip belt 16 and an operation button group 17. Needless to say, a mounting / fixing part such as a video camera is provided in the main body.

An eyecup 18 is provided on the lid portion 12, and the eyecup of the video camera or the like housed inside can be seen through the eyecup 18. The main body 11 and the lid 12 are connected to each other, for example, via a hinge member 19 formed separately so that they cannot be separated from each other. The hinge member 19 merely connects the main body portion and the lid portion and does not participate in the tightening of the waterproof packing at all.

The buckle 13 can be opened and closed by one-touch operation and its details are shown in FIGS. A waterproof packing 20 is provided along the peripheral side surface at the edge of the main body 11 on the opening side, and the buckle 13 is attached to the upper and lower edges of the opening side in a partially protruding manner. Since the upper and lower buckles 13 have the same structure, one of them will be described.

In FIG. 2, the buckle 13 is composed of a fixed cover 13a and a movable cover 13b, both of which are rotatably connected via a connecting shaft 21 within a certain angle range. The fixed cover 13a is appropriately fixed to the main body 11 by a fixing member 22 such as a screw or a screw.

A finger hooking piece 13c is formed so as to project from the free end of the movable cover 13b, and a buckle cam 23 is rotatably arranged via a shaft 24 inside the free end of the movable cover 13b. A lock member 25 is disposed so as to be retractable in the substantially central portion of the portion and below the finger hook 13c.

As shown in FIG. 3, the buckle cam 23 has one end 26a of a spring 26 attached to a shaft 24.
Urges the rear end side 23b so that the front end side 23a always faces downward, and the other end 26b of the spring 26 is used to constantly urge the lock member 25 outward. is there.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 4, the lock member 25 has a substantially rectangular window hole 25a on the tip side located inside.
Is provided, and the tip portion thereof serves as an engaging portion 25b for locking.

A stopper piece 27 with which the engaging portion 25b engages is attached to the lid portion 12. The stopper piece 27 is formed of a metal piece having a substantially L shape,
It is attached to the convex portion 12a formed by the fixing member 28 such as a screw. The end of the stopper piece 27 is slightly projected from the mounting projection 12a to form the protruding end 27a.

The tip side 23 of the buckle cam 23
A recess 29 for engaging a is formed linearly near the opening end of the lid 12. The concave portion 29 is formed by hollowing out one side surface of the convex ridge 30 obtained by protruding a part of the lid portion 12 in a groove shape, and as shown in FIG.
It is formed at substantially the same position as the horizontal line XX passing through 1.

The attachment and detachment of the lid portion 12 of the sports pack of the present invention thus constructed will be described. The buckle 1 attached to the main body portion 11 will be described.
2 is opened to the state shown by the phantom line in FIG. 2 and a photographing device such as a predetermined video camera is housed and fixed in the main body portion 11 with the lid portion 12 not attached.

Next, the lid 12 is set in the opening of the main body 11, and the movable covers 13b of the upper and lower buckles 13 are closed with both hands at the same time, that is, with one touch, in a stable and strong state. It can be attached with interlocking engagement.

That is, even when the buckle 13 is open,
When the movable cover 13b is closed with the tip end side 23a of the buckle cam 23 aimed at the recess 29, the tip end side 23a fits into the recess 29 and is further pressed to cover the lid by lever application. By pulling the part 12 toward the main body 11 side and compressing the waterproof packing 20, the main body 11
The lid 12 and the lid 12 are joined together in an airtight state.

In this case, since the upper and lower buckles 13 are closed at substantially the same time, the action of compressing or crushing the waterproof packing 20 is applied substantially evenly over the entire circumference, whereby the entire waterproof packing 20 is covered. Since it is crushed almost evenly across the area and no local distortion occurs, there is little damage to the packing.

The shaft 24 of the buckle cam 23 is the connecting shaft 2.
When positioned inside the horizontal line XX passing through 1, the tip end side 23a is recessed by the elastic force of the waterproof packing 20.
As a result, the movable cover 13b does not easily open due to the action of pushing up from the inside to the outside.

When the movable cover 13b of the buckle 13 is closed, the engaging portion 2 provided at the tip of the lock member 25 at the same time.
5b engages the protruding end portion 27a of the stopper piece 27. By the engagement of the lock member 25 and the stopper piece 27, the movable cover 13b is locked in a substantially complete state.

In this way, due to the double work of the buckle cam 23 and the lock member 25, the closed state of the buckle 13 is maintained, and the main body 11 and the lid 12 are prevented from being opened carelessly. They will be linked together in a stable state. Then, if the locking member 25 is pushed, the engaging portion 25
The movable cover 13b of the buckle 13 does not open even if the protruding end 27a is disengaged from b.

Therefore, when pushing the lock member 25 and pulling the movable cover 13b in the opening direction by placing a finger on the finger hanging portion 13c, contrary to the above, the tip end side 23 of the buckle cam 23 is reversed.
When a is fitted in the recess 29, the waterproof packing 20 is further crushed by the action of the lever, and the tip side 23a is disengaged from the recess 29 beyond the horizontal line XX to the outside.
Is opened and the lid 12 is in the initial set state, that is, in the free state, and can be easily removed.

In this detaching operation, the lock member 2
It seems that two operations, that is, the operation of pushing 5 and the operation of opening the movable cover 13b, are performed, but actually, when the operation of opening the buckle 13 is performed, the finger-holding portion 13 of the movable cover 13b is used.
When the finger is put on c, the lock member 25 is inevitably pushed, and the engagement of the lock member 25 is released. Therefore, if the movable cover 13b is simply operated in the opening direction, the buckle can be operated with a so-called one-touch operation. 13 can be opened.
