Japanese Patent JP3344805
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To discriminate from the outside of a camera whether or not an impact is made and to confirm whether or not the camera is suitable for recycling by constituting the camera so that the detected result by an impact detection means can be easily and visually recognized from the outside of a camera main body. CONSTITUTION:The impact detection parts 5 are arranged at the apex angle parts of four corner parts of the camera main body 1 so as to be integral with the main body 1. As to the detection part 5, the ridge line part of a triangular pyramid is formed of a thin beam part 6 and the center part is a hollow cavity part 7. The material of the detection part 5 is plastic and, desirably, the same material as the external member of the main body 1. When the impact equal to or above a specified value is made on the camera, the beam part 6 is plastically deformed. Whether the impact force is exerted on the camera is discriminated in such a way. In the case abnormality is not found, the recycling of the camera is rapidly realized by changing film. In the case abnormality is found, the camera is sent to a camera maker so as to check focus and damage.
