Abstract:
Included are multiple camera claws of a second mount that are insertable between multiple accessory claws, and that are capable of coupling by bayonet coupling, multiple contact pins disposed following the circumferential direction of a mount, and a biasing unit to bias the multiple accessory claws in a direction parallel to a center axis of the second mount. The second mount can be relatively rotated to a first state where the accessory claws are inserted between the camera claws, and a second state where the camera claws engage with the accessory claws in the direction. The biasing unit biases a first accessory claw in the direction in the second state, and a first contact pin included in multiple camera-side contact pins situated at the nearest side of the mounting direction of an accessory overlaps the biasing unit in the radial direction.

Claim (Index 1):
An imaging apparatus, comprising:\n a second mount capable of coupling with a first mount provided to an accessory, wherein the camera mount includes\n a plurality of camera claws arranged to couple with the accessory claws of the first mount by a bayonet coupling method, \n a plurality of contact pins that are disposed on the second mount following the circumferential direction of the second mount, and that are used for electrical connection, \n a holding member configured to hold the plurality of contact pins, and \n a biasing unit configured to bias the plurality of accessory claws in a direction parallel to a center axis of the second mount, \n wherein the second mount can be relatively rotated as to the first mount, between a first state where the first mount claws are each inserted between each of the plurality of camera claws and a second state where the plurality of camera claws are each engaged with each of the accessory claws in the direction parallel to the center axis of the second mount, wherein each of the plurality of contact pins correspond to a respective contact face of the plurality of contact faces disposed following the circumferential direction of the first mount at the accessory, and the corresponding plurality of contact pins and the plurality of contact faces are electrically connected in the second state, wherein, in the second state, the biasing unit biases the first accessory claws in the direction parallel to the center axis, in a state where a first camera claw out of the plurality of camera claws and a first accessory claw out of the plurality of accessory claws are engaged, and wherein the biasing unit is located along one of the camera claws which extends radially, within an angle range in the circumferential direction of the second mount, and regarding the plurality of contact pins, a first contact pin included in the plurality of contact pins is disposed nearer than the other contact pins situated at the closest side in the mounting direction of the accessory overlaps in the radial direction an angle range where the biasing unit has been disposed in the circumferential direction of the second mount.
