Definitions

  • the invention relates to a camera crane with a pivotally supported by a possibly height-adjustable support column, two-arm boom, on the first arm a platform for receiving a camera and possibly a seat for a cameraman and on the second arm a basket for receiving counterweights is articulated, and with a parallel guiding of the platform and basket when the boom is pivoted, the parallel guiding device has a first control arm projecting transversely to the pivot axis of the platform with a first articulation point, a second control arm projecting transversely to the pivot axis of the basket with a second Articulation point and a guide arm projecting transversely to the pivot axis of the boom from the support column with a guide articulation point and a first guide rod extending between the guide articulation point and the first articulation point and one between the guide articulation point e and the second articulation point extending second guide rod.
  • the one arm on which the platform is articulated is longer than the arm that carries the basket.
  • the balancing of the cantilever forces acting on the platform weight forces it must be taken into account that a correspondingly higher cage weight exerts a torque on the guide arm via the second control arm and the second guide rod, which is higher than the torque from that with the Camera and the cameraman loaded platform is exerted on the guide arm via the first control arm and the first guide rod.
  • the need that exists in practice to extend the platform-side extension arm accordingly for certain application requirements cannot therefore be easily taken into account. Such an extension would namely require an increased weight load of the basket corresponding to the shorter cantilever arm.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to further develop the camera crane of the type mentioned in such a way that, if necessary, an extension of the cantilever arm carrying the platform and thus relatively convenient and thus an expansion of the stroke of the camera platform can be achieved with relatively little assembly effort.
  • the basket can be exchanged for the platform and the basket can be fixed in place of the platform at the end of the first extension arm, and
  • aspect ratio a: (b + c) of the extended boom is chosen approximately equal to the aspect ratio b: a.
  • the boom has a central boom section, which comprises a swivel bearing for its pivotable mounting on the support column, which is offset toward its one front end, and on its two front ends the same-designed mounting devices for the connection of matching trained retaining plate support pieces are provided and that the extension piece has at one end a fixing device which enables it to be fixed to the mounting device of the central boom section and carries at its other end a mounting device which corresponds to the mounting devices at the ends of the central boom section.
  • the invention is directed to a camera crane with a mobile mounting of the boom support column.
  • the storage has a base with a central upper ring enclosing the support column, which can be fixed on it, a lower ring with four receptacles for releasably fixing rail wheels, which can each be pivoted about the vertical receiving axes, and four directly from the upper ring to has lower strut in the area of the receptacles supporting struts.
  • the support column supporting the boom can be arranged over the base in question on a dolly, which can be made simpler than conventional camera carriages.
  • the four receptacles each have a vertical bore, into each of which a support pin with a support shoulder for contacting the edge of the bore can be inserted, and each support pin can be coupled to the pivot pin projecting from the bearing of a pair of rail wheels.
  • the camera crane illustrated in the drawing comprises a two-arm boom 2, which is pivotally supported by a possibly height-adjustable support column 1.
  • a platform 4 for receiving a camera and possibly one Seat articulated for a cameraman, while on the second arm 5 a basket 6 is pivotally articulated to accommodate counterweights.
  • the two-arm boom 2 is assigned a parallel guide device for parallel guidance of the platform and basket 6 when the boom is pivoted, which has a first control arm 8 projecting transversely to the pivot axis 7 of the platform 4 with a first articulation point 9 and one transverse to the pivot axis 10 of the basket 6 from the latter protruding second control arm 11 with a second articulation point 12 comprises.
  • the parallel guide device includes a guide arm 14 which projects transversely to the pivot axis 13 of the arm 2 from the support column 1 and which has a guide articulation point 15.
  • a first guide rod 16 extends between the guide articulation point 15 and the first articulation point 9.
  • a second guide rod 17 is provided analogously between the guide articulation point 15 and the second articulation point 12.
  • the first arm 3 of the boom 2 carrying the platform 4 has an effective length a which is greater than the length b of the second arm 5 which carries the basket 6 in normal operation.
  • This different arm length is achieved in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 in that the boom 2 has a central boom section 18, in which the pivot bearing 13 for the pivotable mounting on the support column 1 is offset towards its one end.
  • the two front ends 19 and 20 have identically designed mounting devices of known design for the connection of correspondingly designed holding plate support pieces 21 and 22.
  • Fig. 1 shows that the respective holding plates 23 and 24, which are fixed to the support pieces 21, 22 and which can be pivoted about the pivot axes 7 and 10 and comprise the control arms 8 and 11, are of identical design.
  • either a platform 4 or a basket 6 can be fixed with the aid of quick coupling devices which are not known per se and which are known.
  • the holding plate support pieces 21 and 22 can be releasably attached to the mounting devices of the two front ends 19, 20 of the central boom section 18.
  • the boom 2 can be extended by switching on an extension piece of length c, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • This extension piece 25 is fixed in place of the holding plate support piece 22 on the front end 20 of the central boom section 18 adjacent to the pivot bearing 13. At its free end, the extension piece 25 therefore has a counter device that enables it to be fixed to the mounting device of the central boom section 18. At its other end it is Extension piece 25 equipped with a mounting device which corresponds to the known mounting devices at the ends 19 and 20 of the central boom section 18.
  • the length c of the extension piece 25 is selected so that it results in a length b + c with the holding plate support piece 22 adjoining the extension piece, which corresponds to the ratio a in relation to the length a of the other extension arm 1 corresponds to the length b of the shorter cantilever arm 5 of this basic design.
  • all that is required is an exchange of platform 4 and basket 6, without a change in the weights in basket 6 being necessary due to this extension.
  • a corresponding extension of the guide rod of the parallel guide device by inserting a guide rod piece 26 is required, the length of which corresponds to the length of the extension piece 25.
  • the camera crane illustrated comprises a mobile mounting of the jib support column 1.
  • the centerpiece of this mounting is a base 27 with a central upper ring 28 surrounding the supporting column 1, which can be fixed on it, and a lower ring 29 with four receptacles 30 for the releasable fixing of rail wheels 31, which can each be pivoted about the vertical receiving axes, and four support struts 32 which extend directly from the upper ring 28 to the lower ring 29 in the area of the holders 30.
  • the four holders 30 each have a vertical bore, in which can each be inserted from below with a support pin 33 with a support shoulder 34 for contacting the edge of the bore.
  • Each of the support pins 33 can be coupled to the pivot pin 36 projecting from the bearing 35 of a pair of rail wheels.
