Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An imaging apparatus includes a dome cover whose inside is a housing space for housing a lens module, an apparatus main body that is attached with the dome cover, a first support member that is supported at the apparatus main body in a free pan rotation manner inside the dome cover, a second support member that is supported at the first support member in a free tilt rotation manner and supports the lens module, an illumination mount that is provided with an illumination member and is supported at the second support member, and a ring-shaped light shielding cover that is provided on the illumination mount, surrounds the illumination member, and comes into close contact with an inner surface of the dome cover.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An imaging apparatus comprising: a dome cover whose inside is a housing space for housing a lens module; an apparatus main body that is attached with the dome cover; a first support member that is supported at the apparatus main body in a free pan rotation manner inside the dome cover; a second support member that is supported at the first support member in a free tilt rotation manner and supports the lens module; an illumination mount that is provided with an illumination member and is supported at the second support member; and a ring-shaped light shielding cover that is provided on the illumination mount, surrounds the illumination member, and comes into close contact with an inner surface of the dome cover. 2 . The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the dome cover is provided with a cylinder which is continuously formed at an opening edge of a hemispherical portion. 3 . The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light shielding cover is formed thick so as to be heightened toward the dome cover around the illumination member. 4 . The imaging apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the light shielding cover has a substantially semicircular shape on a virtual plane perpendicular to a lens center axis, and is formed thick so as to be heightened toward the dome cover at an end of the substantially semicircular shape on a diameter side. 5 . The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the illumination member is provided on the illumination mount so as to be disposed in one semicircle on an opposite side to a tilt rotation direction in a circumference centering on a lens center axis. 6 . The imaging apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the illumination member is provided on the illumination mount in such a way as to be inclined with respect to a virtual plane perpendicular to the lens center axis.
