User-configurable waterproof camera case
A user-configurable waterproof camera case includes a housing for sealingly holding different models of camera therein, an actuating shaft extending through an opening of the housing, a probe-carrying member connected to an inner end of the actuating shaft, and an adjustable probe carried by the probe-carrying member at a position engageable with an on/off button or a shutter button of the camera.
1. A user-configurable waterproof camera case comprising:
a housing for sealingly holding different models of camera therein;
an actuating shaft extending through an opening of the housing;
an actuator block connected to an inner end of the actuating shaft;
a C-clamp slidable along two opposite parallel tracks on the actuator block along a first axis generally perpendicular to an axis of the actuating shaft; and
an adjustable probe mounted on the C-clamp at a position engageable with a button of the camera, wherein the C-clamp comprises a slot along which the adjustable probe slides along a second axis generally perpendicular to the first axis.
2. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the probe comprises a threaded portion threadably engaged with a nut for locking the probe in a fixed position relative to the actuator block.
3. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a spring for biasing the actuating shaft.
4. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the actuator block comprises a first opening in which the actuating shaft is inserted and a second opening in which an E-ring is inserted for locking the actuating shaft in the first opening.
5. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of cushions provided on inner surfaces of the housing for holding the camera inside the housing.
6. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an actuating button connected to an outer end of the actuating shaft.
7. A user-configurable waterproof camera case comprising:
a housing for sealingly holding different models of camera therein;
an actuating shaft extending through an opening of the housing;
a probe-carrying member connected to an inner end of the actuating shaft; and
an adjustable probe carried by the probe-carrying member at a position engageable with a button of the camera;
wherein the probe-carrying member comprises an array of openings in which the adjustable probe is inserted.
8. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising a slide slidably connected to the probe-carrying member along a first axis generally perpendicular to an axis of the actuating shaft, wherein the adjustable probe is mounted on the slide.
9. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the slide is provided with a slot along which the adjustable probe slides along a second axis generally perpendicular to the first axis.
10. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the slide is a C-clamp slidable along two opposite parallel tracks on the probe-carrying member.
11. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the adjustable probe comprises a threaded portion threadably engaged with a nut for locking the adjustable probe in a fixed position relative to the probe-carrying member.
12. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising a spring for biasing the actuating shaft.
13. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the probe-carrying member comprises a first opening in which the actuating shaft is inserted and a second opening in which a locking member is inserted for locking the actuating shaft in the first opening.
14. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising a plurality of cushions provided on inner surfaces of the housing for holding the camera inside the housing.
15. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising an actuating button connected to an outer end of the actuating shaft.
16. A user-configurable waterproof camera case comprising:
a housing for sealingly holding different models of camera therein;
an actuating shaft extending through an opening of the housing; and
a position-adjustable probe reactable to an action of the actuating shaft at a position engageable with a button of the camera;
a probe-carrying member connected to an inner end of the actuating shaft;
wherein the probe-carrying member comprises a first opening in which the actuating shaft is inserted and a second opening in which a locking member is inserted for locking the actuating shaft in the first opening.
17. The user-configurable waterproof camera case as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the position-adjustable probe is carried by the probe-carrying member.
