PURPOSE:To combine a package for indication with an outside cover by covering a camera main body with a packaging member and providing perforation at a part covering a photographing lens and a part covering a film winding part. CONSTITUTION:The packaging member is constituted of a camera main body package part 10 covering the camera main body and an extension part 20 extending from the end of the camera and projecting like a plate for hanging. The package part 10 has nearly the same shape as the camera main body, and various indications are printed there, then a hole 21 for hanging through which the package part 10 is hung on a hanging metal fitting is provided on the extension part 20. In the case of using the camera, a part of the package part 10 enclosed by the perforation M1, which is provided on the front side of the camera, is cut off, so that the photographing lens 11, a finder visual field frame 12, and a strobe light emission part 13 are exposed. By cutting off a part enclosed by the perforation M2, which is provided on the back side of the camera, a finder looking-through hole 14 and the film winding part 15 are exposed. The extension part 20 is cut off by the perforation M3 provided at the root part of the extension part 20.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple camera, also called a one-time use camera, which is preloaded with film and can immediately take pictures.

0002

[Prior Art] As is well known, a single-use camera is a camera that is preloaded with film, and is used only to shoot a single film, and after the built-in film has finished shooting, the film is loaded into the camera. Since the camera is sent directly to the photo lab, it is essential that the camera be inexpensive.

[0003] Such cameras are packaged in a display package, and one end of the display package is provided with a hole for hanging, so that it can be hung at a shop and is easily available to many people. . When using a purchased single-use camera, the display package is torn and removed, the camera is taken out, and a photograph is taken. In a camera, the camera body made of a resin material is housed within an exterior cover made of a printed paper material. Photographs are taken with the camera body housed within the exterior cover, and once the photography is completed, the camera body is housed in the exterior cover. The camera is then sent to the photo lab.

0004

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The display package described above has functions such as dustproofing, waterproofing, and moistureproofing, so that even if it is hung in a store for a long time, the characteristics of the camera and film inside are not affected. The exterior cover is a member that protects the camera from deterioration, and also has a decorative function, allowing shooting operations without removing the camera body from the exterior cover.

[0005] Conventional simple cameras, which have an exterior cover for the camera body and a display package outside the camera body, have double packaging and two types of packaging, which is wasteful in terms of cost and resources. It can be said. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve such duplication and provide a simple camera having a package member that has both the functions of a display package and an exterior cover.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above object is to provide a package member that closely fits or surrounds a camera body containing a film with a slight gap, and that a part of the package member has a protruding extension part that extends from the end face of the camera for hanging. A simple camera having a package member, the package member having perforations for easy cutting, the front side of the camera covering at least the photographing lens, and the back side of the camera covering at least the film winding section;
This is achieved by a simple camera that is provided between the extension part and the end face of the camera.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a simple camera packaged with the packaging member of the present invention, with FIG. 1(a) showing a front perspective view of the camera and FIG. 1(b) showing a rear perspective view of the camera. The camera body is wrapped in waterproof paper that is shaped to match the external shape of the camera body through press processing, or is surrounded by plastic resin, and then the shape is made to fit the camera body by vacuum suction, or it has the ability to shrink by heating. The camera body is wrapped in a plastic material, which is then heated for a short time to shrink without damaging the built-in film performance, and these packaging materials are tightly attached to the camera body or surrounded all around with a slight gap. It is something. Of course, it is also possible to partially adhere the camera body and the package member using an adhesive.

The package member consists of a camera body package part 10 that surrounds the camera body, and an extension part 20 that extends from the end of the camera body of the camera body and projects in a plate shape for hanging. The camera main body package part 10 is closely attached to the camera main body and has substantially the same shape, and various printed displays are made by printing. Further, the camera body package section 10 corresponding to the photographing lens, finder, strobe light emitting section, etc. of the camera body is illustrated with the photographing lens, finder, strobe light emitting section, etc., and the main body package section 10 has a built-in camera. is displayed. Further, the hanging extension part 20 is provided with a hanging hole 21 for hanging from a hanging metal fitting such as a nail.

[0009] A simple camera surrounded by such a camera body package part 10 is not dust-proof, waterproof, moisture-proof, etc. even if it is hung in a store for a long time with the hanging hole 21 hooked to a hanging bracket. This function does not deteriorate the performance of the built-in film.

[0010] The simple camera of the present invention is purchased in such a state, and when used, it is possible to take pictures by cutting out the relevant part along the perforations made on the package member as described below. It is. That is, on the front side of the camera surrounded by the camera body package part 10, there is an O.
There is a perforation M1 printed with PEN1,
When the portion surrounded by the perforation M1 is cut out, at least the photographic lens 11 is exposed. In this embodiment, a photographic lens 11, a finder field frame 12, and a strobe light emitting unit 13 are used.
is exposed.

A perforation M2 with OPEN2 printed on it is provided on the back side of the camera, and when the part surrounded by the perforation M2 is cut out, the viewfinder peephole 14 and film winding section 15 are exposed. Also, at the base of the extension part 20 there is a perforation M3 with CUT3 printed on it.
By cutting out the extension 20 at perforation M3, the camera is in the state shown in FIG. 2.

Note that there is a shutter button 16 and a film number display section 17 on the top of the camera, but these locations can be exposed by cutting them out along the perforations, or they can be exposed by cutting them out along the perforations, or they can be removed from the camera body in advance. A hole is provided in the corresponding part of the package part 10, and the lid is covered with a sealing member in the form of a seal, so that the shutter button 16 and the film number display part 17 are exposed by peeling off the seal member. It is possible.

By cutting out the portion surrounded by the perforations as described above, the camera can immediately perform photographing operations while being protected by the package member.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the excessive packaging used in the past has been improved, waste has been eliminated in terms of cost and resources, and the built-in product has been incorporated into a new package that has the same functions as before. A simple camera will be provided.
