  • Camera body for protecting components
    Patent number: 6545716
    Abstract: A video camera apparatus comprises a camera body and camera components, including a lens operative to view an exterior of the camera body, enclosed in an interior of the camera body. Connectors lead from the camera components to the exterior of the camera body. A solid filler material substantially covers the camera components and secures the camera components in a fixed location with respect to the camera body. The filler material has sufficient insulating properties to prevent generation of a current through the filler material by voltages normally encountered on exposed portions of the camera components. The filler material is injected into the camera body in a fluid state, and then hardens to a solid state.
