Drying Mechanisms And Methods For Removing Excess Moisture From Electronic Equipment
US Patent:
5189581, Feb 23, 1993
Filed:
Mar 22, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/673940
Inventors:

International Classification:

US Classification:
360128
Abstract:
The specification disclosed a drying apparatus for removing excess moisture from a housing of a video cassette camera recorder comprising: a hollow casing having at least one passageway formed therein; desiccant material inside the casing; and a screen for covering the at least one passageway to prevent the desiccant material from passing through the passageway while allowing moisture to pass therethrough. The configuration of the casing corresponds to the general shape of a video tape container that may be inserted into an orifice in the housing designed to receive such containers. Recesses and contact surfaces are preferrably formed at strategic locations on the casing to accommodate mechanical parts of the video camera and trigger sensors designed to monitor the presence and condition of a video tape container within the housing.
