Abstract

A cover assembly for a camera having a metallic front cover. The metallic front cover is provided with an upheaval portion. An end surface of the upheaval portion is manufactured as a plane surface. A plastic inner frame is provided with a projection having a step. After the metallic front cover is attached to the inner frame, an ornamental member is pushed toward the metallic front cover such that engaging claws of the ornamental member are adjusted to recesses formed on the projection. The engaging claw is guided by the recess and engages with the step of the projection. A lower surface of the ornamental member abuts closely on the end surface of the upheaval portion. The metallic front cover is fixed by being caught between the ornamental member and the inner frame.
