Opaque coating is printed on an opaque section, which is a portion except the window section and the lightproof section.

Abstract: The index finger of the right hand of the user is applied to a front surface of a fixed knob, the thumb of the right hand is applied to a rear surface of a movable knob, and the movable knob is slid by the thumb forwardly toward the fixed knob. When the movable knob is slid, a locking member moves forwardly in unison with the movable knob away from engaging surfaces of walls, whereupon opposite ends of the locking member disengage from the engaging surfaces of the walls. A buckle is now swingable out of a cavity about a pivot shaft. Then, the user grips the fixed knob and the movable knob and lifts the free end of the buckle to erect the buckle, and thereafter opens a front case member and a rear case member away from each other.

Abstract: A waterproof case for containing a portable device including at least one operation part offset in a direction perpendicular to an inserting direction of the portable device into the case body of the waterproof case, includes at least one operation part that operatively cooperates with the at least one operation part of the portable device, and a moving and holding device that moves the portable device in a direction perpendicular to the inserting direction of the portable device after the portable device is inserted into the case body and that holds the portable device in a moved position so as to operatively cooperate the at least one operation part of the portable device with the at least one operation part of the case body.

Abstract: A holder for a ball-shaped camera case for holding the camera case containing a TV camera to a fixed mounting structure such as a wall, ceiling and the like includes a ring-shaped holder having an outer thread and an inner curved rim with a curvature radius of the camera case. The holder further includes an elongated cover having a flanged rim at one end and a portion of hemispherical shape at another end. An elongated cutout wider than a pane of a lens of the camera is made in the elongated cover for providing an optical path for the lens and gripping the camera case inside that portion of hemispherical shape. A locking nut is tightened onto the outer thread of the elongated cylindrical cover. The locking nut has an inner shoulder for locking the cover to the ring-shaped holder. The cylindrical cover can be rotated for positioning the cutout around the axis of the hemispherical portion within the length of the cutout and the optical path is not obstructed.

In the photographic device set, the packing material has a transparent film and is provided with opaque portions at an area corresponding to the photographing operation section or to the camera lens of the photographic device.

Abstract: A camera carrying case includes a sleeve having a camera receiving hollow and a pair of opposite open ends that are individually configured to permit camera insertion into the hollow. A pair of spaced elastic expandable strips between the open ends each interconnect a pair of spaced longitudinal edge portions of the sleeve to permit the hollow to be enlarged to accommodate different size cameras and to form a pocket between the elastic expandable strips for receiving various articles. A flap is connected to one of the longitudinal edge portions to wrap about the sleeve, but not about the elastic expandable strips, and to unwrap from about the sleeve.

Abstract: A film-made sheath is formed of a transparent film and a shrinkable film. These transparent and shrinkable films are in a contiguous relation and are adhered or fusion-bonded at edges thereof into sheath-shaped configurations. The transparent and shrinkable films may be dimensioned such that the sheath can accommodate therein a mouth insert portion of an intraoral camera. The mouth insert portion of the intraoral camera can be covered with the film-made sheath by inserting the mouth insert portion into the sheath such that a light-receiving portion of the intraoral camera is located on a side of the transparent film, and then heating the shrinkable film.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a container assembly and method for displaying a product, e.g., a camera, for viewing by a consumer. In embodiments of the present invention, an inner permanent container is configured to accept a product in a cavity defined therein. Accordingly, the permanent container is preferably formed from a rigid material such as metal or plastic. The permanent container has a front surface that is either transparent or openable for displaying the contents thereof. For example, the front surface may include a cover that is moveable from an open to a closed position. The cover may be detachable from an open front surface of the permanent container and alternately attachable to its rear surface to expose the product contained therein. A temporary container, having at least a generally transparent front surface is configured to accept the permanent container having the product contained therein.
