ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates generally to the field of photography, and in particular to a camera carrying case.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cases intended for modern hand-held cameras, such as the 35-mm format, are designed to provide good protection for the camera without being uncomfortable to carry or inviting attention. Some are designed to retain the camera by means of a screw that attaches the bottom of the case to a tripod socket in the bottom of the camera. Other cases retain the camera by means of a short strap such as in prior art U.S. Pat. No. 2,565,006 issued May 29, 1950, and No. Des. 276,761 issued Dec. 18, 1984.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A camera carrying case comprising:
a sleeve including front, rear and top integral portions that form a camera receiving hollow, an open bottom between the front and rear portions, and at least one open end configured to permit camera insertion into the hollow; and
at least one elastic expandable bottom strip interconnecting the front and rear portions across the open bottom to permit the hollow to be enlarged to accommodate different size cameras.
