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 9):
An accessory, comprising:\n a second mount capable of coupling with a first mount provided to an imaging apparatus, wherein the accessory mount includes\n a plurality of accessory claws arranged to couple with a plurality of camera claws of the camera mount by a bayonet coupling method, \n a plurality of contact faces that are disposed on the second mount following the circumferential direction of the first mount, and that are used for electrical connection, and \n a holding member configured to hold the plurality of contact faces, \n wherein the second mount can be relatively rotated as to the first mount, to a first state where the camera claws are each inserted between each of the plurality of accessory claws, and a second state where the plurality of accessory claws are each engaged with each of the camera claws in a direction parallel to the center axis of the second mount, wherein each of the plurality of contact faces correspond to a respective contact pin of the plurality of contact pins disposed following the circumferential direction of the first mount at the imaging apparatus, and the corresponding plurality of contact faces and the plurality of contact pins are electrically connected in the second state, and wherein, regarding the plurality of contact faces, in the second state, a first contact faces disposed further than the other contact faces in the mounting direction of the accessory overlaps an angle range in the circumferential direction where a biasing unit, provided to the imaging apparatus to bias a predetermined accessory claw in the direction parallel to the center axis, have been disposed, in the radial direction of the second mount.
