Title:
CAMERA HAVING BARRIER ASSEMBLY COMPRISING AN INTEGRATED LENS COVER/LIGHT HOOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000068734
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A camera has a barrier assembly (16) that comprises an integrated lens over/light hood (17), and a rotatable door (18). The assembly is movable between an open and a closed position. The assembly functions as a protective barrier for the camera's picture-taking lens (13) when disposed in the closed position. The door is located within an aperture (19) defined by the lens cover/light hood when the assembly is closed. The door rotates away from the aperture as the assembly translates to the open position. The aperture is substantially aligned with the optical axis (14) of the picture-taking lens as the assembly reaches its open position, thereby allowing ambient light to reach the picture-taking lens. The lens cover/light hood isolates the lens from ambient light outside the field of view of the lens when the assembly is in its open position.
