【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電池格納容器、及び、その電池格納容器を具備するカメラに関し、詳しくは、2種類以上の電池を収納可能にした電池格納容器、及び、その電池格納容器を具備する電池の電力を使用して撮影画像データを記録するデジタルカメラ等のカメラに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の電池格納容器、及び、その電池格納容器を具備するカメラにおいては、形状、又は、容積が異なる2種類以上の電力を与える電池を収納可能な電池収納部に、容積が小さい電池を装填すると、隙間が形成されていた。
然し、このような、容積が異なる2種類以上の電池を収納可能な電池収納部に、容積が小さい電池を装填すると形成される隙間は、積極的に、且つ、有効的活用されることがなかった。
他方、一般に、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体を、例えば、デジタルカメラの装置本体とは別に、保管、運搬することが多い。
このために、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体を収納可能なケース等が市販されて使用されている。
この場合、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体は、装置本体とは別に、使用者の各人のカバンや着衣のポケット等に入れて保管、運搬されて、必要な時に使用できなかったり、紛失したり、落として破損する場合があった。
このように、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体は、安全に保管されていない場合があった。
このような、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体を収納可能なケース等とは別に、例えば、デジタルカメラの記憶媒体を本体内で安全に保管し、その交換を容易、安全かつ速やかに行えるように、予備記憶媒体を収納する収納室を本体に設けたデジタルカメラも公知である(実用新案登録第3087388号の公報を参照)。
然し、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体が不要な場合においても、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体の収納スペースは維持され、使用者の利点がなく、装置本体が大型になると言う欠点があった。
従って、従来の電池格納容器、及び、その電池格納容器を具備するカメラにおいては、容積が異なる2種類以上の電池を収納可能にした電池収納部に容積が小さい電池を装填して形成される隙間が積極的に且つ有効に活用されることがなく、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体の安全な保管に不必要な収納スペースが維持されて大型になる等と言う不具合が生じていた。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の電池格納容器、及び、その電池格納容器を具備するカメラにおいては、容積が異なる2種類以上の電池を収納可能にした電池収納部に容積が小さい電池を装填して形成される隙間が積極的に且つ有効に活用されることがなく、予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体の安全な保管に不必要な収納スペースが維持されて大型になる等と言う問題が発生していた。
そこで本発明の課題は、このような問題点を解決するものである。即ち、容積が異なる2種類以上の電池を収納可能にした電池収納部に容積が小さい電池を装填して形成される隙間を積極的に且つ有効に活用して予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体を省スペースで安全に保管すると共に容積が大きい電池を装填して使用する場合も予備用のメモリーカード等の記録媒体を安全に保管する電池格納容器、及び、その電池格納容器を具備するカメラを提供することを目的とする。

【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の実施の形態は、図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
図1及び図2は本発明の電池格納容器を備えたカメラの斜視図、図3は電池アダプタの構成図である。カメラ10に装備されて2種類以上の電池を収納可能にした電池格納容器0は、形状、又は、容積が異なる2種類以上の電池1の容積が大きい電池1a、又は、容積が小さい電池1bを収納可能にした電池収納部2と、電池収納部2に容積が小さい電池1bを装填したときに形成される隙間3と、隙間3に装填する電池アダプタ4と、電池アダプタ4に形成して被収納体を収納する収納部5とからなり、容積が異なる2種類以上の上記電池1を収納可能にした電池収納部2に上記容積が小さい電池1bを装填して形成される上記隙間3を積極的に且つ有効的に活用して被収納体を省スペースで安全に保管する。
電池収納部2には、容積が違う2種類の上記電池1のうち容積の小さい電池1bは、電池アダプタ4と共に、挿入して装填されるようになっている(図1を参照)。
電池アダプタ4は、電池収納部2内に上記容量の小さい電池1bが挿入されて装填した状態で、上記隙間3を埋める形状、サイズになっており、上記容量の小さい電池1bの動きを止めて、上記隙間3を積極的に、且つ、有効に活用すると共に、電池収納部2内に挿入される上記容量の小さい電池1bを確実に固定する効果も与えられている。
【0007】
一方、電池収納部2には、容積が違う2種類の上記電池1のうち上記容積の大きい電池1aは単独で挿入して装填される(図2を参照)。
電池アダプタ4に形成した収納部5においては、被収納体である記録媒体6のメモリーカード6aを、保持部材5aの電池アダプタ4に一体形成された簡単な構成である一体形成保持部5aで保持して、蓋部材5bの蓋部材5bを図示の矢印(A)方向に回動して閉じて覆って、確実に保持されて落下等を防止するようになっているから、上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aを安全に保管できる(図3を参照)。
収納部5に上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aを挿入して確実に保持した後に、電池収納部2内に上記容量の小さい電池1bと共に、電池アダプタ4を上記隙間3に電池収納部2の片面に寄った状態で挿入して装填した後に、電池収納蓋7を図示の矢印(B)方向に回動して閉じて、電池格納容器0、及び、その電池格納容器0を具備するカメラ10を使用することが出来るようになる。
【0008】
電池アダプタ4に形成した収納部5には、上記保持部材5aの上記一体形成保持部5aや上記蓋部材5bの上記蓋部材5bが設けてあることで、上記電池収納2の上記隙間3から電池アダプタ4を取り出した時に、上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aを落下させることがなく、上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aを安全に保管できる。
更に、電池アダプタ4に形成した収納部5に蓋部材5bが設けてあることで、図2に図示のように、容量の大きい電池1aを電池収納部2に挿入して装填した後に、電池格納容器0、又は、電池格納容器0を具備するカメラ10を使用する場合は、電池格納容器0、又は、電池格納容器0を具備するカメラ10から外した状態で、収納部5を形成した電池アダプタ4は単体で予備のメモリカードケースとして使用する時にも、蓋部材5bにより、記録媒体6のメモリーカード6aを安全に保管できる。
従って、容積が異なる2種類以上の上記電池1を収納可能にした電池収納部2に上記容積が小さい電池1bを装填して形成される上記隙間3を積極的に且つ有効に活用して、上記記録媒体6の上記予備用のメモリーカード6aを省スペースで安全に保管すると共に、上記容積が大きい電池1aを装填して使用する場合にも、上記記録媒体6の上記予備用のメモリーカード6aを安全に保管する電池格納容器0を提供することが出来るようになった。
電池の電力を使用して撮影画像データを記録する上記カメラ10は、記録する撮影画像データを結像する撮影レンズ11と、上記撮影レンズ11を保持、又は、格納して撮影画像データを記録する本体12と、上記本体12に設けた電装部に電力を与える上記請求項1乃至8の何れか一項に記載の電池格納容器0とからなり、容積が異なる2種類以上の上記電池1を収納可能にした電池収納部2に上記容積が小さい電池1bを装填して形成される上記隙間3を積極的に且つ有効に活用して、撮影画像データを記録して保持する上記記録媒体6の予備用の上記メモリーカード6aを省スペースで安全に保管すると共に、上記容積が大きい電池1aを装填して使用する場合にも、上記記録媒体6の予備用の上記メモリーカード6aを安全に保管することが出来る。
【0009】
図4乃至図6において、電池アダプタ4に形成した収納部5においては、一個、又は、複数個の被収納体である上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aを、電池アダプタ4に図示の矢印(C)方向に着脱自在である上記保持部材5aとしての着脱保持部5aで保持して、蓋部材5bを図示の矢印(D)方向に回動して閉じて覆って、確実に保持されて落下等を防止するようになっているから、一個、又は、複数個の上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aを安全に保管できる(図4と図5を参照)。
つまり、電池アダプタ4に設けた収容用空所である収納部5内に着脱保持部5aを矢印(C)方向から着脱可能であり、着脱保持部5aはその空所内にメモリーカード6を着脱自在に収容できる。
電池アダプタ4に形成した収納部5においては、複数個の被収納体である上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aを、電池アダプタ4に図示の矢印(C)方向に着脱自在である上記着脱保持部5aで保持して、複数の蓋部材5bの蓋部材5b31と蓋部材5b32を図示の矢印(D)方向に回動して閉じて、複数個の被収納体である上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を覆って、確実に保持されて落下等を防止するようになっているから、複数個の上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を安全に保管できる(図4と図6を参照)。
収納部5に1個、又は、複数個のメモリーカード6aを挿入して確実に各々を保持した後に、電池収納部2内に上記容量の小さい電池1bと共に、電池アダプタ4を上記隙間3に電池収納部2の片面に寄った状態で挿入して装填した後に、上記電池収納蓋7を図示の矢印(B)方向に回動して閉じて、電池格納容器0、及び、その電池格納容器0を具備する上記カメラ10は使用することが出来るようになる(図1を参照)。
【0010】
電池アダプタ4に形成した収納部5には、着脱保持部5aや複数の蓋部材5bの上記蓋部材5b31と上記蓋部材5b32を設けてあることで、電池収納部2の上記隙間3から電池アダプタ4を取り出した時に、複数個の上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を落下させてしまったりすることがなく、複数個の上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を安全に保管できる。
更に、電池アダプタ4に形成した収納部5に複数の上記蓋部材5bの上記蓋部材5b31と上記蓋部材5b32を設けてあることで、図2に図示のように、上記容量の大きい電池1aを電池収納部2に挿入して装填した後に、電池格納容器0、又は、電池格納容器0を具備する上記カメラ10を使用する場合は、電池格納容器0、又は、電池格納容器0を具備する上記カメラ10から外した状態で、収納部5を形成した電池アダプタ4は単体で予備のメモリカードケースとして使用する時にも、上記蓋部材5bの上記蓋部材5bの上記蓋部材5b31と上記蓋部材5b32により、複数個の上記記録媒体6の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を安全に保管することが出来るようになった。
従って、容積が異なる2種類以上の上記電池1を収納可能にした電池収納部2に上記容積が小さい電池1bを装填して形成される上記隙間3を積極的に且つ有効に活用して、複数個の上記記録媒体6の予備用の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を省スペースで安全に保管すると共に、上記容積が大きい電池1aを装填して使用する場合にも、複数個の上記記録媒体6の予備用の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を安全に保管する電池格納容器0を提供することが出来るようになった。
更に、電池の電力を使用して撮影画像データを記録する上記カメラ10は、記録する撮影画像データを結像する上記撮影レンズ11と、上記撮影レンズ11を保持、又は、格納して撮影画像データを記録する上記本体12と、上記本体12に電力を与える請求項1乃至8の何れか一項に記載の電池格納容器0とからなり、容積が異なる2種類以上の上記電池1を収納可能にした電池収納部2に上記容積が小さい電池1bを装填して形成される上記隙間3を積極的に且つ有効に活用して、撮影画像データを記録して保持する複数個の上記記録媒体6の予備用の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を省スペースで安全に保管すると共に、上記容積が大きい電池1aを装填して使用する場合にも、撮影画像データを記録して保持する複数個の上記記録媒体6の予備用の上記メモリーカード6aの各々を安全に保管することが出来るようになった。
