Electrically connecting structure for back cover of camera body

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To prevent the sag of a flexible print substrate by winding the middle part of the flexible print substrate to a hinge axis and installing a finger-shaped body on the hinge end of the back cover of a body. CONSTITUTION:The middle part 7a of the flexible print substrate 7 is wound to the hinge axis 2 which connects between the camera body 3 and the back cover 1 of the body and the finger-shaped body 1c integrally formed on the hinge end of an outer cover 1A is disposed on the outer periphery of the middle part 7a. Namely, the flexible print substrate 7 is let in a state where there is little sag since the middle part 7a of the flexible print substrate 7 is wound to the hinge axis 2 at the time of closing the back cover 1 of the body. And if the back cover 1 of the body is opened, the finger-shaped body 1c turns centering around the hinge axis 2, so that the tip of the finger-shaped body 1c is in contact with the surface of the middle part 7a of the flexible print substrate 7 to correct the said middle part 7a which is apt to sag.
