Abstract

Device for stabilising a photographic appliance or a camera. The invention relates to a device which groups together into a single piece of equipment the four existing photographic supports; monopod, tripod, table-top tripod, rifle grip. It consists of a cylinder 1 containing, at its base, three telescopic legs 2 sliding and moving away from each other in order to form either the monopod or the tripod. The assembly 3 consisting of a panoramic head 4 and of three small legs 5 unscrews from the upper part of the cylinder 1, to act as the table-top tripod or the rifle grip. This device is suitable for any piece of camera equipment.

Description

La présente création concerne un support multifonction destiné à poser et à stabiliser un appareil photographique ou une caméra lors d'une prise de vue. The present creation relates to a multifunction support intended to pose and to stabilize a photographic apparatus or a camera during a catch of sight.

Actuellement le maintien d'un appareil est réalisé grâce à quatre types de support: le trépied, le monopode, le pied de table, la crosse. Currently the maintenance of a device is carried out thanks to four types of support: the tripod, the monopod, the table leg, the stick.

Un amateur désireux de stéquiper doit investir lourdement afin d'acheter ces quatre supports. L'encombrement est important et le passage de l'un à l'autre de ces supports est malaisé. An amateur wishing to equip must invest heavily in order to buy these four supports. The space is important and the passage from one to the other of these supports is difficult.

Le dispositif créé permet de regrouper ces quatre appareils en un seul. The device created makes it possible to group these four devices into one.

Ce dispositif comporte un cylindre creux (-1) regroupant en une seule
unité les quatre produits (fig 1) . De ce cylindre (1) peuvent se déployer trois tubes télescopique (2) maintenus par une bague d'angulation (6):formant le monotode (fig 2). Ces trois tubes télescopique formant les pieds du monopode peuvent s'écarter au niveau de la bague (6) pour former le trépied (fig 3). Bu haut du cylindre peut s'extraire un ensemble (3) constitué d'une tête panoramique (4) et de trois petits pieds (5) montés sur trois bagues (a) en rotation autour d'un axe (9) . Ouvert cet ensemble constitue le tied de table (fig 5) . Deux de ces petits pieds se regroupent pour former la crosse (fig 6)
Particularités des systèmes réunissant ces quatre produits en un seul appareil.This device comprises a hollow cylinder (-1) grouping in a single
unit the four products (fig 1). From this cylinder (1) can deploy three telescopic tubes (2) held by an angle ring (6): forming the monotode (fig 2). These three telescopic tubes forming the feet of the monopod can move apart at the level of the ring (6) to form the tripod (fig 3). Bu top of the cylinder can extract a set (3) consisting of a panoramic head (4) and three small feet (5) mounted on three rings (a) rotating around an axis (9). When opened, this set constitutes the table tied (fig 5). Two of these small feet come together to form the butt (fig 6)
Special features of the systems combining these four products in a single device.

Le passage de la position monopode à la position trépied se réalise à l'aide d'une bague d'angulation (6) coulissant dans le cylindre (1) et solidaire des trois tubes télescopique (2). Cette bague (6) en position fermée maintien les trois tubes télescopique en position monopode. En tournant cette bague (6) on libère les trois tubes télescopiques (2) afin d'obtenir le trépied. The transition from the monopod position to the tripod position is carried out using an angle ring (6) sliding in the cylinder (1) and secured to the three telescopic tubes (2). This ring (6) in the closed position keeps the three telescopic tubes in the monopod position. By turning this ring (6), the three telescopic tubes (2) are released in order to obtain the tripod.

L'ensemble (3) pied de table-crosse se libère du cylindre (7) à l'aide d'une bague filetée (7) se vissant sur le haut du cylindre (i1) . Cette bague (7) est solidaire de l'ensemble (3) .  The set (3) of the table leg stock is released from the cylinder (7) using a threaded ring (7) which is screwed onto the top of the cylinder (i1). This ring (7) is integral with the assembly (3).

Les trois petits pieds de table sont montés sur des bagues (a) en rota tion autour d'un axe (9) solidaire de la base de la tête panoramique (4)
Chacune des trois bagues (a) possède des butées permettant de mettre les trois petits pieds de table (5) en position pied de table . En tournant deux des trois petits pieds de table (5) on met l'ensemble (3) en position crosse; chacune des bagues solidaire des deux petits pied venant en butée contre la troisième. The three small table legs are mounted on rings (a) rotating around an axis (9) integral with the base of the panoramic head (4)
Each of the three rings (a) has stops allowing the three small table legs (5) to be placed in the table leg position. By turning two of the three small table legs (5), the assembly (3) is put in the stock position; each of the rings integral with the two small feet abutting against the third.
