Abstract

An illuminating device is used for oral photography and is connectable to a lens barrel provided on a camera. The illuminating device includes a light-emitting surface that has an arc shape, so that a periphery of a mouth being under a nose of a person being photographed can be exclusively illuminated.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An illuminating device for oral photography, said illuminating device being connectable to a lens barrel provided on a camera, said illuminating device comprising; 
 a light-emitting surface that has an arc shape, so that a periphery of a mouth being under a nose of a person being photographed, can be exclusively illuminated.    
   
   
       2 . The illuminating device according to  claim 1 , further comprising; 
 an illuminating device body that has a cylindrical shape having an opening in which said nose can be positioned.    
   
   
       3 . The illuminating device according to  claim 1 , wherein said light-emitting surface has a C shape.  
   
   
       4 . The illuminating device according to  claim 1 , further comprising; 
 a light emitting diode (LED) that emits illuminating light for illuminating said periphery of a mouth.    
   
   
       5 . An illuminating device connectable to a lens barrel provided on a camera, said illuminating device comprising; 
 a light-emitting surface that has an arc shape having an opening.    
   
   
       6 . An illuminating device for oral photography, said illuminating device being connectable to a lens barrel provided on a camera, said illuminating device comprising; 
 an illuminating device body that has an opening to prevent said illuminating device from interfering with a nose of a person being photographed.    
   
   
       7 . A light-shielding device being attachable to an illuminating device for oral photography, said light-shielding device comprising: 
 a light-shielding surface that shields illuminating light emitted by said illuminating device; and    a light-transmitting member that transmits said illuminating light emitted by said illuminating device, and that has a light-transmitting surface having an arc shape, so that a periphery of a mouth being under a nose of a person being photographed can be exclusively illuminated.    
   
   
       8 . The light-shielding device according to  claim 6 , wherein a first distance between said light-shielding surface and an attaching-surface of said light-shielding device, is shorter than a second distance between said light-transmitting surface and said attaching-surface.  
   
   
       9 . The light-shielding device according to  claim 7 , wherein said illuminating device is connected to a lens barrel provided on a camera, said light-shielding device is terraced in a direction parallel to an optical axis of said lens barrel.  
   
   
       10 . The light-shielding device according to  claim 6 , wherein said light-transmitting member is transparent.  
   
   
       11 . A light-shielding device being attachable to an illuminating device for oral photography, said light-shielding device comprising: 
 a light-shielding surface that shields illuminating light emitted by said illuminating device; and    a light-transmitting member that transmits said illuminating light emitted by said illuminating device, and that has a recessed light-shielding surface to prevent said light-shielding device from interfering with a nose of a person being photographed.    
   
   
       12 . An illuminating device for oral photography, said illuminating device being connectable to a lens barrel provided on a camera, said illuminating device comprising a light-emitting surface that has an arc shape.
