Abstract

A wearable camera includes a casing that hoses an imaging unit and includes a front surface in which a lens is exposed, and a rear surface in a direction along a vertical surface serving as a surface on a mounting side, an attachment surface that is formed on the rear surface and on which a casing holding member is detachably attached without screwing, and a protrusion that comes in contact with a magnet protruding from the casing near an upper end of the attachment surface and attached to the attachment surface to restrict downward movement of the casing with respect to the magnet.

Claims (25)

1. A wearable camera comprising:

a casing that includes a front surface having a lens and a rear surface serving as a surface on a mounting side;

an attachment surface that is formed on the rear surface and on which a casing holding member is detachably attached; and

a protrusion that protrudes from the casing in the vicinity of an upper end of the attachment surface and comes in contact with the casing holding member attached to the attachment surface,

wherein rotation of the case holding member around an axis perpendicular to the attachment surface is restricted.

2. The wearable camera of claim 1 further comprising a metal plate inside the casing near a backside of the attachment surface, the attachment surface interposed between the metal place and the casing holding member, the casing holding member is a magnet.

3. The wearable camera of claim 1 ,

wherein the casing holding member is a clip that has a plate attached to the attachment surface and that is provided with a clamp on the plate.

4. The wearable camera of claim 1 ,

wherein the casing includes a pair of facing wall portions protruding from a right side and a left side away from the rear surface, the attachment surface interposed between the pair of facing wall portions.

5. The wearable camera of claim 3 ,

wherein the plate includes a locking piece having a locking hole and extending upward from an upper edge so as to be elastically deformable in a direction away from the casing, and the casing includes a locking protrusion that engages the locking hole to restrict upward movement of the casing with respect to the casing holding member.

6. The wearable camera of claim 1 ,

wherein the casing includes a shaft portion of which each end of shaft portion is fixed to a facing inner wall surface of the recess portion.

7. The wearable camera of claim 4 wherein a distance between the pair of facing wall portions is set slightly larger than a width of the casing holding member in a same direction.

8. The wearable camera of claim 1 ,

wherein the casing includes locking recess portions formed in the lower part of both side surfaces of the casing.

9. The wearable camera of claim 1 , wherein the case holding member is a portion of a charger for the wearable camera.

10. The wearable camera of claim 1 , further comprising a pair of facing wall portions, one of the pair of facing wall portions located on one side of the attachment surface to which the case holding member is detachably attached and the other of the pair of facing wall portions located on another side of the attachment surface to which the case holding member is detachably attached.

11. The wearable camera of claim 10 , wherein the pair of facing wall portions are parallel.

12. The wearable camera of claim 10 , where each of the pair of facing wall portions includes a groove.

13. A wearable camera comprising:

a casing that includes a front surface having a lens and a rear surface serving as a surface on a mounting side;

an attachment surface that is formed on the rear surface and on which a casing holding member is detachably attached; and

a pair of facing wall portions protruding from a right side and a left side away from the rear surface, the attachment surface interposed between the pair of facing wall portions, wherein rotation of the case holding member around an axis perpendicular to the attachment surface is restricted by at least one of the pair of facing wall portions.
