Abstract
Provided is a camera capable of contributing reductions in the number of components and manufacturing costs. A holding member is mounted on a top portion of a camera body. A block portion for holding a device for range-finding, a finder and so on, a semicylindrical portion for holding a battery, and a plate portion for holding a gear train of the camera body are integrally combined to form the holding member. Therefore, the number of components of the camera can be reduced, thereby resulting in a reduction in the manufacturing costs.
Claims14
A camera having a range-finding system for measuring a lens-to-subject distance and using a battery, the camera comprising:
- a camera body;
- and
- a holding member mounted on the camera body, and integrally including a first holding portion for holding at least the range-finding system and a second holding portion for holding the battery, wherein the holding member further integrally includes an elastic deformable buffer portion disposed between the first holding portion and the second holding portion.
A camera having a range-finding system for measuring a lens-to-subject distance and using a battery, the camera comprising:
- a camera body including a rotatable take-up spool for taking up a film;
- and
- a holding member mounted on the camera body, and integrally including a first holding portion for holding at least the range-finding system and a second holding portion for holding the battery, and wherein the holding member holds the take-up spool to be rotatable.
A camera having a range-finding system for measuring a lens-to-subject distance and using a battery, the camera comprising:
- a camera body;
- and
- a holding member mounted on the camera body, and integrally including a first holding portion for holding at least the range-finding system and a second holding portion for holding the battery;
- and
- wherein the holding member has a shape extending in a longitudinal direction with a width in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and the holding member is secured to the camera body at a plurality of points determined in a staggered arrangement on both sides of a central axis, the central axis passing through a center of the width and extending in the longitudinal direction.
