Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A camera-radio combination comprising a camera having a housing in which there are spaces not occupied by camera components and which would normally remain empty, and a radio receiver carried by said camera housing and having at least tuning and sound-controlling components situated in said spaces, so that said camera housing also serves as a radio housing, and wherein said camera housing carries an objective for directing light rays along a predetermined optical axis, and the receiver components being situated in spaces located on opposite sides of said axis, and wherein the camera housing has a front wall, said receiver including a printed circuit plate situated in said housing adjacent said front wall and formed with an opening through which the optical axis passes so that the light rays can travel through the latter opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A camera-radio combination comprising a camera having a housing in which there are spaces not occupied by camera components and which would normally remain empty, and a radio receiver carried by said camera housing and having at least tuning and sound-controlling components situated in said spaces, so that said camera housing also serves as a radio housing, and wherein said camera housing carries an objective for directing light rays along a predetermined optical axis, and the receiver components being situated in spaces located on opposite sides of said axis, and wherein the camera housing has a front wall, said receiver including a printed circuit plate situated in said housing adjacent said front wall and formed with an opening through which the optical axis passes so that the light rays can travel through the latter opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The combination of claim 1 and wherein said receiver includes manually turnable elements for station selection and control of sound amplitude, said elements being situated at the exterior of said housing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The combination of claim 1 and wherein said printed circuit plate is situated in a plane which is substantially parallel to the film plane of the camera.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

A camera-radio combination comprising a camera having a housing in which there are spaces not occupied by camera components and which would normally remain empty, and a radio receiver carried by said camera housing and having components situated in said spaces the camera including an electrically operable shutter, said housing carrying a source of current which is common to said receiver and said shutter.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
64 words
A camera-radio combination comprising a camera having a housing in which there are spaces not occupied by camera components and which would normally remain empty, and a radio receiver carried by said camera housing and having components situated in said spaces the camera including an electrically operable shutter, said housing carrying a source of current which is common to said receiver and said shutter.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
81 words
A camera-radio combination comprising a camera having a housing in which there are spaces not occupied by camera components and which would normally remain empty, and a radio receiver carried by said camera housing and having at least tuning and sound-controlling components situated in said spaces, so that said camera housing also serves as a radio housing; the camera including an objective, and said receiver including an annular turnable control element surrounding said objective and being concentrically arranged with respect thereto.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
81 words
A camera-radio combination comprising a camera having a housing in which there are spaces not occupied by camera components and which would normally remain empty, and a radio receiver carried by said camera housing and having at least tuning and sound-controlling components situated in said spaces, so that said camera housing also serves as a radio housing; the camera including an objective, and said receiver including an annular turnable control element surrounding said objective and being concentrically arranged with respect thereto.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
