Electronic apparatus having member for locking grip part

摘要

An electronic apparatus reduced in the number of components without impairing the operability of an unlocking operation part and an adjacent other operation part of a grip part. A digital video camera has a camera body and a grip part rotatable with respect to the camera body. A lock member within the grip part is rotatable in unison with the grip part, and is pivotally moved between a locking position for locking the grip part and an unlocking position for unlocking the same. A spring member urges the lock member toward the locking position. An operation knob formed on the lock member pivotally moves the lock member to the unlocking position against the urging force of the spring member. A recording start/stop button is formed in the lock member adjacent to the operation knob. The knob and the button are operated in respective different directions.

主权项

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
an apparatus body; a grip part configured to be rotatable with respect to said apparatus body and be gripped by a user; a lock member provided within said grip part and configured to be rotatable in unison with said grip part and pivotally move between a locking position for locking said grip part at a predetermined rotational angle and an unlocking position for unlocking said grip part; an urging member configured to urge said lock member toward the locking position; an unlocking operation part formed integrally with said lock member and disposed in a manner protruding from an opening formed in an exterior of said grip part, said unlocking operation part enabling an operation for pivotally moving said lock member to the unlocking position against an urging force of said urging member; and another operation part formed in said grip part in a manner adjacent to said unlocking operation part, wherein an operational direction of said unlocking operation part and an operational direction of said other operation part are different from each other.
