Protective housing for optical equipment
First Claim
1. Housing assembly for optical equipment, comprisingan equipment carrier having a pair of parallel first guide grooves,a housing shell received telescopically on said equipment carrier and being movable relative to said carrier in a sliding direction until said shell is withdrawn from said carrier, said housing shell having a pair of parallel second guide grooves, anda sliding guide piece having a pair of first projections slidably received in respective said first guide grooves and a second pair of projections slidably received in said second guide grooves, at least one of said first and second pairs of projections forming a pivot axis about which said housing shell can pivot relative to said equipment carrier when said shell is withdrawn from said carrier.

Abstract
A protective housing for surveillance video cameras has a tubular housing shell (1) which can be slid back and forth in a telescoping manner relative to an equipment carrier (2), which can be installed in a fixed position. The housing shell (1) and the equipment carrier (2) are connected by a sliding guide piece (4), which forms a pivot bearing (S-S) after the shell has been pulled out as far as it can go to allow the housing shell (1) to pivot around the end of the equipment carrier (2). To facilitate installation and to avoid corners from being cut off the viewing angle during installation and adjustment, both the housing shell (1) and the equipment carrier (2) are provided with guide grooves (11, 15), arranged in pairs; and the sliding guide piece (4) is guided by means of first and second projections (18, 19) so that it can slide relative to both the housing shell (1) and the equipment carrier (2) in their guide grooves (11, 15). At least one of the projections (18, 19) of the sliding guide piece (4) forms the pivot bearing (S-S) between the housing shell (1) and the equipment carrier (2). The sliding guide piece can be either a molded part or a wire stirrup.

7. Protective housing for optical equipment, said housing comprising
an equipment carrier which can be mounted in a fixed position, said equipment carrier having an end and a first pair of parallel guide grooves extending toward said end, a housing shell which can be slid back and forth in a sliding direction relative to said equipment carrier, said housing shell having an end and a second pair of parallel guide grooves extending toward said end, a sliding guide piece having a first pair of projections received in said first pair of parallel guide grooves and a second pair of projections received in said second pair of parallel guide grooves, said sliding guide piece being slidable relative to both the housing shell and the equipment carrier in said sliding direction, one of said first and second pairs of projections forming a pivot bearing which allows the housing shell to pivot about the end of the equipment carrier when said housing shell has been pulled out as far as it can go relative to said equipment carrier.
