Abstract
A door structure of a still camera, for accommodating loading and unloading of a floppy disk or cassette tape into, and from, the interior of the still camera. An eject knob and a switch for operating a disk or tape deck, are linked with the door frame, when the door frame is in motion. The switch is moved by the eject knob into an operating position.
Claims17
A door structure of a still video camera enabling loading and unloading of a floppy disk or a tape cassette, said door structure comprising:
- an opening accommodating passage of said floppy disk or said tape cassette through said opening;
- a first pin;
- a second pin;
- a first spring;
- a second spring attached to said second pin;
- a door frame mounted around said opening, said door frame pivoting on said first pin toward and away from said opening;
- an eject knob connected to said door frame and said first spring, for moving said door frame away from said opening when said eject knob is moved from a first position to a second position and urged toward said first position by said first spring;
- a door supported and pivoted on said door frame by said second pin, said door pushed open when said floppy disk or said tape cassette enters through said door frame and urged shut by said second spring;
- and
- a leaf switch having an end resiliently supported by said first spring, positioned to be operationally engaged by motion of said eject knob from said first position to said second position, for enabling ejection of said floppy disk or said tape cassette from the still video camera through said opening.

A door structure of a still video camera enabling loading and unloading a data memory medium, said door structure comprising:
- a door frame mountable on the camera to define an opening accommodating passage of said data memory medium through said door frame and into the camera;
- means supported by said door frame, for having a first position enabling said passage through said opening when said data memory medium enters through said door frame;
- resilient means for urging said means supported by said door frame into a second position where said means supported by said door frame closes said opening to said passage;
- means for enabling ejection of said data memory medium, connected to said door frame and said resilient means and urged from a first position toward a second position by said resilient means, for imparting motion to said door frame away from said opening when said enabling means is moved by a user of the camera in order to allow said data memory medium to be ejected from the still video camera;
- and
- switching means having an end urged into a first state of electrical conduction by said resilient means, and positioned to be converted into a second state of electrical conduction by motion of said enabling means in order to initiate ejection of said data memory medium from the still video camera.

A door structure of a still video camera enabling loading and unloading a data memory medium, said door structure comprising:
- a door frame mountable on the camera to define an opening accommodating passage of said data memory medium through said door frame and into the camera;
- means supported by said door frame, for having a first position enabling said passage through said opening when said data memory medium enters through said door frame, and a second position closing said opening to said passage;
- means for enabling ejection of said data memory medium, connected to said door frame, disposed to undergo movement from a first position and toward a second position for imparting motion to said door frame away from said opening in order to allow said data memory medium to be ejected from the still video camera, in response to operation of said enabling means by a user of the camera;
- and
- switching means positioned to maintain a first state of electrical conduction while said enabling means is in said first position, and to provide a second state of electrical conduction in response to said movement by said enabling means toward said second position in order to initiate ejection of said data memory medium from the still video camera.
