Abstract

A case ( 10 ) for accommodating a camera ( 30 ) has at least an access opening ( 102 ) for putting the camera into the case. The case includes an inner layer ( 12 ) and an outer layer ( 11 ) being connected together. The inner layer of the case defines a room ( 101 ) for receiving the camera therein. An air chamber ( 105 ) is defined between the inner and outer layers. A valve ( 20 ) is formed on the outer layer of the case for communicating the chamber with outside. When the camera is received in the room of the case, the chamber can be filled with air through the valve, and volume of the room can be adjusted to approximately mach the volume of the camera received therein.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A case for accommodating a camera, comprising:
 an inner layer defining a room for receiving the camera therein;   an outer layer connected to the inner layer;   a chamber being defined between the inner layer and the outer layer; and   a valve being formed on the outer layer for inflating and deflating the chamber.   
   
   
       2 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein a number of ribs are formed on the inner layer, the ribs being configured for abutting the camera when the camera is received in the case, whereby a friction force generated between the ribs of the inner layer and the camera prevents the camera from slipping out of the case. 
   
   
       3 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein a pair of access openings are defined at two opposite sides of the case. 
   
   
       4 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the case is substantially in a rectangular sheet shape, two opposite ends of the case connected together to form the case. 
   
   
       5 . The case of  claim 4 , wherein each end of the two opposite ends of the case forms a number of adhesive portions thereon, the adhesive portions of the two opposite ends of the case being capable of being adhered to each other to allow the case to be assembled. 
   
   
       6 . The case of  claim 4 , wherein a number of snaps fixed to the two opposite ends of the case are connected with each other to allow the case to be assembled. 
   
   
       7 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the outer layer of the case forms a number of ribs thereon for a user to hold the case easily. 
   
   
       8 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the case is made of flexible material impermeable to air, a volume of the room capable of being adjusted according to a volume of the air charged into the chamber. 
   
   
       9 . A case for accommodating a camera, comprising:
 an inner layer defining a room configured for receiving the camera therein; an outer layer;   an air chamber formed by the inner layer and the outer layer;   a valve formed on the outer layer for communicating the chamber with outside; and   at least one access opening for putting the camera into the case;   wherein when the camera is received in the room of the case, the chamber can be filled of air through the valve, and the volume of the room is able to be adjusted to approximately mach the volume of the camera received therein.   
   
   
       10 . The case of  claim 9 , wherein the inner and outer layer are made of flexible material impermeable to air. 
   
   
       11 . The case of  claim 9 , wherein each layer forms a number of ribs thereon, and the ribs of the inner layer abut against the camera when the camera is received in the case. 
   
   
       12 . The case of  claim 9 , wherein the case is substantially in a rectangular sheet shape, two opposite ends of the case being connected together to form the case. 
   
   
       13 . The case of  claim 12 , wherein the two opposite ends include connecting means to connect the two opposite ends together.
