Abstract
A system includes a plurality of cameras and a waterproof housing. The plurality of cameras include a first camera including a first operating member, a second camera including a second operating member which is superposed to the position of the first operating member in the waterproof housing upon storing the second camera in the waterproof housing. The waterproof housing can store whichever one of the first camera and the second camera. The waterproof housing includes a third operating member and a fourth operating member. The third operating member operates the first operating member upon storing the first camera in the waterproof housing, and the fourth operating member operates the second operating member upon storing the second camera.
Claims26
A system comprising a plurality of cameras and a waterproof housing, the system comprising:
- a first camera comprising a first operating member having a position within the waterproof housing when the first camera is accommodated, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing;
- a second camera comprising a second operating member having a position which is superposed to the position of the first operating member in the waterproof housing when the second camera is accommodated, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing,
- wherein the first and second operating members have different specifications but perform the same operation;
- and
- the waterproof housing comprising
- a third operating member which operates the first operating member when the first camera is accommodated, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing and
- a fourth operating member which operates the second operating member when the second camera is accommodated, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing.
A system comprising a plurality of cameras and a waterproof housing,
- the plurality of cameras having varied specifications and different types of power-ON switches, and
- the waterproof housing which can arbitrarily accommodate, in a waterproof manner, any one of the plurality of cameras and comprising a single set of mechanical operating members that can operate, mechanically, the different types of power-ON switches of all of the plurality of cameras.
A system comprising a plurality of cameras and a waterproof housing,
- the plurality of cameras comprising:
- a first camera comprising a first operating member having a position within the waterproof housing when the first camera is accommodated, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing;
- a second camera comprising a second operating member having a position which is superposed to the position of the first operating member in the waterproof housing when the second camera is accommodated, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing,
- wherein the first and second operating members have different specifications but perform the same operation;
- and
- the waterproof housing comprising:
- first means which operates the first operating member when the first camera is accommodated, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing;
- and
- second means which operates the second operating member when the second camera is accommodated, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing.
A waterproof housing for camera storage, comprising:
- a single set of mechanical operating members which can arbitrarily operate, mechanically, different types of power-ON switches of any one of a plurality of cameras,
- wherein the waterproof housing can arbitrarily accommodate, in a waterproof manner, any one of the plurality of cameras having different specifications, and different types of power-ON switches.
A waterproof housing for camera storage, wherein,
- a first camera comprising a first operating member having a position in the waterproof housing when the first camera is stored, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing and a second camera comprising a second operating member having a position, when the second camera is stored, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing, which is superposed to the position of the first operating member in the waterproof housing, the waterproof housing comprising:
- a third operating member which operates the first operating member button when the waterproof housing stores, in a waterproof manner, the first camera;
- and
- a fourth operating member which operates the second operating member when the waterproof housing stores, in a waterproof manner, the second camera,
- wherein the first and second operating members have different specifications but perform the same operation.
A waterproof housing for camera storage, wherein, a first camera comprising a first operating member having a position, when the first camera is stored, in waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing can be stored and a second camera comprising a second operating member having a position, when the second camera is stored, in a waterproof manner, in the waterproof housing, which is superposed to the position of the first operating member in the waterproof housing, the waterproof housing comprising:
- first means which operates the first operating button member when the waterproof housing stores the first camera;
- and
- second means which operates the second operating member when the waterproof housing stores the second camera,
- wherein the first and second operating members have different specifications but perform the same operation.
