Description of the Related Art In cameras, especially single-lens reflex cameras, a light emitting part mounted above a pentaprism is used in a pop-up position from the camera body side, and a light-emitting part is popped down and brought into close contact with the camera body side. The structure which rotates to a position is generalized. In a camera provided with such a built-in strobe, as a lock mechanism for locking the light emitting portion in the storage position, a recess provided on the side wall of the light emitting portion and a lock lever that is biased by rotation toward the recess and engages with the recess. There are some with.

向でのコンパクト化は困難であった。In order to smoothly engage the lock pawl of the lock lever with the lock mechanism, when the light emitting portion is rotated toward the storage position, the lock mechanism is pushed down to the side and lowered to lock the lock mechanism. Some have a pressing inclined surface for guiding the claw to the recess. In the lock mechanism having such a structure, the angle of inclination of the pressing inclined surface with respect to the lock claw is reduced so that the lock claw is smoothly guided to the recess. For this reason,
The pressing inclined surface requires a large vertical length for moving the lock claw to a position where it can be engaged with the recess.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a structure in which the upper and lower parts of the pentaprism are separated from each other so as not to come into contact with the pentaprism, and it is difficult to make the camera compact in the vertical direction.

れている。Further, the leaf spring member 27, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, has the rotation lock lever 26 and the shaft portion 34.
After being supported by the shaft portion 34, it is screwed to the lower end portion of the shaft portion 34.
It has a screw hole 27a for inserting. Leaf spring member 2
7 further has an elastic contact support surface 27c that elastically contacts the front portion 24e of the rear surface of the upper decoration 24 and an elastic contact portion 27b that elastically contacts the rear portion 24f of the rear surface of the upper decoration 24. This elastic contact support surface 27
c is formed to be one step higher than the surface on which the screw hole 27a is formed so as to contact the protrusion 26b below the lock claw 26c while being supported by the shaft 34, and the lock claw 26c is pressed by the inclined guide surface 30a. The lock claw 26c
An auxiliary urging means for applying an auxiliary urging force in the unlocking direction is configured. That is, the elastic contact support surface 27c elastically supports the downward movement of the lock claw 26c when pressed by the inclined guide surface 30a, and releases the lock claw 26c in the unlocking direction (the direction away from the locking projection 30). Slide it. The leaf spring member 27 has a sufficient urging force to the protrusion 26b while being supported by the shaft portion 34,
It is formed so that both ends of the rotating portion are bent upward in a free state.

まう。In order to move the lock pawl 26c of the rotary lock lever 26 in the unlocking direction as smoothly as possible by the inclined guide surface 30a, for example, an inclined guide surface 30a 'shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. In addition, the tilt angle B may be reduced by lengthening the vertical direction. However, in such a structure, the locking projection 30 needs to have a long moving distance for unlocking as much as b in FIG. Therefore, in order to prevent the locking projection 30 having the inclined guide surface 30a ′ from coming into contact with the pentaprism 21, the light-emitting part case 15 must be provided above the pentaprism 21 and the camera can move up and down. It becomes bigger in the direction.

る。On the other hand, according to the built-in strobe lock device according to the present invention, since the tilt angle A of the tilt guide surface 30a is increased and the vertical direction is shortened, the locking projection 30 is moved by the distance a shown in FIG. Then, the rotation lock lever 26
After elastically displacing in the unlocking direction, the lock claw 26c can be guided to the engaging recess 30b. Therefore, as compared with the case where the inclined guide surface 30a 'is adopted,
It is possible to significantly shorten the vertical direction of the camera.

That is, when performing flash photography from the state in which the light emitting unit case 15 (light emitting unit S) is held at the storage position (see FIG. 7), first, the operation button 16 is pressed. Then, since the operation button 16 presses the operation arm portion 26e at the corresponding position, the rotation lock lever 26 centers the shaft portion 34 and the protrusion 26b on the elastic contact support surface 27c of the leaf spring member 27. Rotate in the unlocking direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 3) while sliding. As a result, the locking claw 26c is disengaged from the engaging recess 30b of the locking projection 30, so that the released light emitting unit case 15 pops up due to the biasing force of the torsion spring 31 to position the light emitting unit S at the use position (Fig. 8). At this time, the rotation lock lever 26 with the lock claw 26c removed from the engagement recess 30b can be engaged with the engagement recess 30b at the time when the operation button 16 is released after the locking projection 30 is retracted upward. It returns to the initial position.

5 is pushed downward and moved to the storage position, the locking projection 30 moves the rotation lock lever 26 at the initial position.
The slanted guide surface 30a is slidably brought into contact with the lock claw 26c. Since the tilt guide surface 30a has a large tilt angle A, a relatively large downward moving force acts on the lock claw 26c, but this downward moving force is applied to the protrusion 26b.
Since it is elastically supported by the elastic contact support surface 27c through the, the projection 26b smoothly slides on the elastic contact support surface 27c in the unlocking direction while receiving this elastic force. As a result, the rotation lock lever 26 is once rotated in the unlocking direction by the inclined guide surface 30a, and then the lock claw 26c thereof is smoothly guided to the engaging recess 30b to lock the light emitting unit case 15 in the storage position. To do.
