Camera housing

摘要

A camera housing comprises a four-sided frame. A first side of the four-sided frame includes a first segment, a second segment, and a latch mechanism with a first latch component and a second latch component. The first latch component and the second latch component are pivotally coupled such that in a closed position, the frame securely encloses a camera and in an open position, the first segment and the second segment are separable.

1. A flexible camera housing comprising:
a frame configured to form an enclosure around respective top, bottom, and sides of a camera, the frame comprising:
a first side including a first segment and a second segment; anda latch mechanism coupled to the first segment and the second segment, the latch mechanism comprising a first latch-arm, a second latch-arm, and a third latch-arm, the first latch-arm pivotally coupled to the first segment by a first hinge mechanism, the second latch-arm and the third latch-arm each pivotally coupled to the second segment by a second hinge mechanism and a third hinge mechanism, respectively, and the first segment, the second segment, and a third segment pivotally coupled together by a fourth hinge mechanism; the first latch-arm, the second latch-arm, and the third latch-arm being substantially flush with the first side of the frame such that the first segment and the second segment are substantially spatially flush when the latch mechanism is in a closed position; the first latch-arm, the second latch-arm, and the third latch-arm protruding outward from the first side of the frame such that the first segment and the second segment are spatially separated when the latch mechanism is in an open position.
