Abstract

A fixing device for digital head camera comprises a base and an elastic band, in which the elastic band is penetratingly attached to the base. The base further consists of a spotlight, a battery chamber, a fixing base for camera, and a power on/off switch. The spotlight is offered to illuminate and serve as an auxiliary light source for the flash bulb of a digital camera, and the battery chamber is arranged for reception of at least a battery to serve for a power source. The fixing base for camera is provided to fix and hold a digital camera, and the elastic band is adjustable in length and accordingly in stretchiness so as to fit different users.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The digital camera has seemed a new favorite in these days, particularly for outdoor activities. Unfortunately however, as the power preserved is usually insufficient for an existing digital camera, people cannot take pictures at night as many as desired. This can be remedied with a fixing device of this invention for digital head camera. [0001]
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The primary object of this invention is to provide a fixing device for digital head camera, which would illuminate for a relatively longer duration. [0002]
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a fixing device for digital head camera, which is equipped with an auxiliary power supply. [0003]
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a fixing device for digital head camera, which would facilitate taking-picture in movements. [0004]
  • In order to realize above objects, the fixing device of this invention for digital head camera comprises a base and an elastic band, in which the elastic band is penetratingly attached to the base. The base further consists of a spotlight, a battery chamber, a fixing base for camera, and a power on/off switch. The spotlight is offered to illuminate and serve as an auxiliary light source for the flash bulb of a digital camera. The battery chamber is arranged for reception of at least a battery to serve for a power source. The fixing base for camera is provided to fix and hold a digital camera, in which a power supply connector at the bottom end thereof is coupled with an input terminal of power supply of the digital camera for the camera to use that power supply. And, the elastic band is adjustable in length and accordingly in stretchiness so as to fit different users. [0005]
  • For more detailed information regarding advantages or features of this invention, at least an example of preferred embodiment will be elucidated below with reference to the annexed drawings.[0006]
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The related drawings in connection with the detailed description of this invention to be made later are described briefly as follows, in which: [0007]
  • FIG. 1 is a structure view of this invention; and [0008]
  • FIG. 2 shows a configuration of an embodiment of this invention mating with a digital camera.[0009]
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • As indicated in FIG. 1, a fixing device for [0010] digital head camera 10 is composed of a base 15 and an elastic band 11, in which the elastic band 11 is penetratingly attached to the base 15. The base further comprises a spotlight 151, a battery chamber 153, a fixing base for camera 155, and a power on/off switch 157. The spotlight 151 is offered to illuminate and serve as an auxiliary light source for the flash bulb of a digital camera. The battery chamber 153 is arranged for reception of at least a battery to serve for a power source. The fixing base for camera 155 is provided to fix and hold a digital camera, in which a power supply connector 159 at the bottom end thereof is coupled with an input terminal of power supply of the digital camera for the camera to use that power supply. And, the elastic band 11 is adjustable in length and accordingly in stretchiness so as to fit different users.
  • A flash bulb is mounted on the held digital camera, which may be provided with receiving function and music playing function in MP3 format for example. [0011]
  • The battery in the [0012] battery chamber 153 is usable to the spotlight and the digital camera simultaneously.
  • FIG. 2 shows a configuration of an embodiment of this invention mating with a digital camera. [0013]
  • In the above described, at least one preferred embodiment has been described in detail with reference to the drawings annexed, and it is apparent that numerous variations or modifications may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope thereof, as set forth in the claims below. [0014]
