Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a main body having an imaging element; a rectangular display disposed along one surface of the main body; and a hinge unit that movably connects the display to the main body. The hinge unit includes a support portion connected to the main body so as to be rotationally movable about a first axis by a pair of first hinges on the first axis extending along one of two sides of the display which are at right angles to each other. The display is supported by the support portion so as to be rotationally movable about a second axis by a pair of second hinges on the second axis extending along other of the two sides of the display which are at right angles to each other. One of the pair of first hinges is disposed between the pair of second hinges.
Claims21
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a main body having an imaging element;
- a rectangular display disposed along one surface of the main body;
- and
- a hinge unit that movably connects the display to the main body,
- wherein the hinge unit comprises a support portion connected to the main body so as to be rotationally movable about a first axis by a pair of first hinges on the first axis extending along one of two sides of the display which are at right angles to each other,
- the display is supported by the support portion so as to be rotationally movable about a second axis by a pair of second hinges on the second axis extending along other of the two sides of the display which are at right angles to each other, and
- each of the pair of first hinges has a hinge bracket which is disposed on the support portion at a different position from a position of a hinge bracket which each of the pair of second hinges has, so that the hinge bracket of each of the pair of first hinges is not directly connected to the hinge bracket of each of the pair of second hinges.
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a main body having an imaging element;
- a rectangular display disposed along one surface of the main body;
- and
- a hinge unit that movably connects the display to the main body,
- wherein the hinge unit comprises a first support portion connected to the main body so as to be rotationally movable about a first axis by a pair of first hinges on the first axis extending along one of two sides of the display which are at right angles to each other,
- a second support portion connected to the first support portion so as to be rotationally movable about a second axis parallel to the first axis by a pair of second hinges on the second axis biased toward one side located opposite to one side of the display along which the first axis extends with respect to the first axis,
- the display is supported by the second support portion so as to be rotationally movable about a third axis by a pair of third hinges on the third axis extending along other of the two sides of the display which are at right angles to each other, and
- each of the pair of second hinges has a hinge bracket which is disposed on the support portion at a different position from a position of a hinge bracket which each of the pair of third hinges has, so that the hinge bracket of each of the pair of second hinges is not directly connected to the hinge bracket of each of the pair of third hinges.
