Abstract:
A camera is configured for use with a removable camera lens cover, which can be secured to or removed from the camera by a user without the use of a tool set. The mechanism which allows the lens cover to be secured to and removed from the camera includes a set of wires embedded into the lens cover and a set of wedges protruding from the lens wall of the camera. To secure the lens cover to the camera, the lens cover is placed onto the front of the camera and rotated until the wires align with corresponding wedges, securing the wires underneath the tapered surface of the wedges. To remove the lens cover from the camera, a force is applied outward and normal to the lens cover, causing the wires to flex outward and enabling the rotation and removal of the lens cover from the camera.

Claim (Index 1):
A camera system comprising:\n a camera comprising:\n a lens protruding from a front surface of the camera; \n a lens wall surrounding the lens, the outer lens wall comprising an outside surface; \n a set of wedges protruding from and tapered towards the outside surface of the lens wall, each wedge comprising a wedge surface angled relative to the outside surface of the outer lens wall; and \n a removable lens cover comprising:\n a lens hole within a rear surface of the removable lens cover, the lens hole configured to enclose the lens when the removable lens cover is secured to the camera; \n a protective lens surface within a front surface of the removable lens cover; and \n a set of flexible securing structures, each of the set of flexible securing structures configured to align with a corresponding different wedge of the set of wedges such that 1) when the removable lens cover is secured to the camera, the securing structures prevent the removable lens cover from rotating relative to the camera or being removed from the camera, and 2) when a threshold force is applied on the removable lens cover away from and normal to the front surface of the camera, a reciprocal force is applied by the set of wedges onto the securing structures, causing the securing structures to flex outward and away from each other, thereby enabling the rotation of the removable lens cover relative to and removal of the removable lens cover from the camera.
