Abstract: A cooling apparatus includes a body frame holding a fan. The fan includes a blade housed in a casing and rotating about a fan shaft and discharges air from a casing's fan inlet opening surrounding the fan shaft into a casing's fan exhaust opening on a tangent line of the blade's rotational direction. The body frame includes an air-leading duct feeding the discharged air to a heat exchanger in a first direction. The fan tilts by a first tilt from a first plane orthogonal to the first direction to position, in the first direction, the fan exhaust opening closer to the heat exchanger than the blade, and by a second tilt about the fan shaft to tilt, as viewed from the first direction, the fan exhaust opening from a direction parallel to a second plane parallel to the first direction.

Abstract: An lighting device capable of efficiently dissipating heat generated by a light emitting section without exposing a heat dissipating section to the appearance so as to prevent a user from directly touching the heat dissipating section. A strobe device includes a high-luminance LED, a head plate to which heat generated by the high-luminance LED is transferred, a control unit housing that contains the high-luminance LED and the head plate, a front cover that is used for at least part of an exterior of the control unit housing and is formed with heat dissipating holes, and a bounce housing that can turn with respect to the control unit housing. The heat dissipating holes are formed in a surface, opposed to the bounce housing, of the front cover.

Abstract: A camera accessory device which not only makes it possible to prevent a camera-side accessory shoe from being scratched thereby, but also encores positive electrical connection between the camera accessory device and a camera. The camera accessory device comprises a lock lever, a shoe bracket for engagement with the camera-side accessory shoe, contact pins for contact with respective electric contacts of the camera-side accessory shoe, a contact spring-holding member, and an accessory shoe-holding member which moves, in accordance with rotation of the lock lever, to a shoe member-locking position or to a shoe member-unlocking position. The contact pins are urged by the holding members such that urging forces applied to the electric contacts become larger when the accessory shoe-holding member has moved to the shoe member locking position than when the same has moved to the shoe member unlocking position.
