Abstract

This is a front mounted camera support system which is wearing on the front torso of a user by two shoulder straps and one belly strap, wherein its harness is formed by a fixing chest plate and chest connection plate connects to a fixing belly plate and belly connection plate by a plurality of fasteners.

A camera holding arm pivots on the center chest position of the harness. It is elevated by a pivoted lever on one of the fasteners of the harness, whereby an attached camera on the camera holding arm is able to be held in a selective elevation for camera shooting.
A belly side holding brace from the harness is used to hold additional camera or accessory firmly.

A chest side elongated prop from the harness is used to hold a flash, a light or an umbrella over the user's head securely for operation.

Claims (28)

1. In a body mounted support system, the combination of a plurality of components comprising LowerParts, UpperParts, HolderA, HolderB, HolderC and Straps which are interconnecting to form the apparatus:

LowerParts comprising an assembled belly plate and belly connection plate connecting to said UpperParts through the holes on said belly connection plate thereof make the overall length of the apparatus to adapt to the operator's body size.

UpperParts comprising an assembled chest plate and chest connection plate connecting to said LowerParts through the holes on said chest connection plate thereof make the overall length of the apparatus to adapt to the operator's body size.

HolderA comprising a U-shape channel member, a holding block and a holding bar interconnecting with said chest connection plate to form an open/close triangle frame thereby holding the camera in different elevation.

HolderB comprising a holding plate, a holding pipe and a long pipe interconnecting to hold some accessories over the operator's head.

HolderC comprising a flat plate connecting to said belly connection plate to hold some accessories on the side of the operator's belly.

Straps comprising a belly strap and two shoulder straps securing the apparatus in the front of the operator.
2. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said belly plate of said LowerParts is bent inwardly to adapt to a normal human body's belly shape.
3. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said belly connection plate of said LowerParts has punched holes on it to be used to connect to said chest connection plate of said UpperParts and said HolderC.
4. The combination defined in claim 3, wherein said punched holes on said belly connection plate are in the same size and aligned equally from each other and used to connect to said chest connection plate of said Upperparts in different position to make the overall length of the apparatus to adapt to the operator body's size.
5. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said chest plate is cut in a recess shape to adapt to a normal human body's neck and arms when the apparatus is mounted on.
6. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said chest connection plate is bent inwardly to adapt to a normal human body's chest shape.
7. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein on said chest connection plate has punched holes used to connect to said belly connection plate of said LowerParts and said holding plate of said HolderB.
8. The combination defined in claim 7, wherein said punched holes on said chest connection plate of said UpperParts are in the same size and aligned equally from each other and used to connect to said belly connection plate of said LowerParts in different position to make the overall length of the apparatus to adapt to the operator body's size.
9. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said holding block works as a pivot junction affixing to said chest connection plate of said UpperParts and pivot jointing to said U-shape channel of said HolderA.
10. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said holding bar has an upside down U-shape recess used to make it easily and securely disposing on one of the fasteners.
11. The combination defined in claim 10, wherein said fasteners interconnect UpperParts, LowerParts, HolderB and HolderC together.
12. The combination defined in claim 10, wherein said fasteners are a set of screw and nut, said nut is a neck kind nut whereby it makes it easily and securely holding said holding bar of said HolderA.
13. The combination defined in claim 10, wherein one end of said holding bar is pivoted to the intermediate position on said U-shape channel of said HolderA.
14. The combination defined in claim 9, wherein said U-shape channel of said HolderA has punched holes reserved to mount a camera on it.
15. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said U-shape channel, said holding bar and the combination of said holding block and said chest connection plate work together to form a variable triangle frame.
16. The combination defined in claim 15, wherein said variable triangle frame means said holding bar disposing on anyone of the fasteners to elevate said U-shape channel in position whereby the camera is facing forward in an elevation angle.
17. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said holding plate of said HolderB is connected to said chest connection plate of said UpperParts in position on one end and the other end is affixing to said holding pipe of said HolderB.
18. The combination defined in claim 17, wherein said holding pipe holds a long pipe along the length of said long pipe by two fasteners.
19. The combination defined in claim 18, wherein one end of said long pipe has a fastener reserved to hold some accessories such as a light, a reflector, an umbrella and etc.
20. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said HolderC is a single plate connecting to said belly connection plate of said LowerParts by two fasteners.
21. The combination defined in claim 20, wherein the other end of said HolderC
has punched holes reserved to hold some accessories such as another camera, a battery and etc.
22. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein said belly strap of said Straps is secured to said belly plate of said LowerParts by two strap holding bars holding in position diagonally.
23. The combination defined in claim 22, wherein said two strap holding bars also secure one end of said two shoulder straps.
24. The combination defined in claim 23, wherein other end of said two shoulder straps each is affixed in position to each side of said chest plate of said UpperParts by two strap holding bars.
25. The combination defined in claim 22, wherein said belly strap of said Straps is a one piece strap.
26. The combination defined in claim 23, wherein said two shoulder straps are identically to each other and each is cut into two pieces.
27. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein each strap has an extendable clip being adjustable to adapt to the operator's body size.
28. The combination defined in claim 1, wherein each strap has a set of easy clip connector whereby the operator can easily mount and dismount the apparatus.
