DEVICE FOR HANGING THE CAMERA IN A BALLOON

The invention relates to a device with which a hobby light photographer can hang a camera under an elongated balloon made of polyethylene film in order to obtain photographs of objects below the balloon. The device allows the camera to be aimed in any direction 5 to any object below.

A "device for directing a camera rotated about a vertical axis in kites and balloons" is known from DE patent publication 287 032. This device is suitable for the type of camera used at the beginning of the century, 10 which was large in size and mechanical in function.

An advantage of the device according to the invention compared to the above is that it can be used to hang a modern system or compact camera on a balloon, and that it can also be used to adjust the shooting direction of the camera in the vertical direction 13. The invention is characterized by what is stated in the claim.

In the following, the invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 schematically shows the imaging apparatus.

Figure 2 shows in detail the device according to the invention.

Figure 1 shows the imaging ball 1 with its associated devices. At the other end of the ball, a line 2 leaves towards the ground, which allows the ball to be brought back down. At one end of the ball 25 a wire 3 leaves and at the other a wire 4. A rail 5 hangs on these wires. A rail 6, 2 69277 is mounted thereon on which the camera 7 hangs on the wires. The wires are arranged so that the camera does not start to oscillate due to the forces in the direction of the rail 6.

Figure 2 shows on a larger scale a preferred embodiment of the invention. The device according to the invention comprises a rail 5. It can be tightened by means of a loop screw 8 to a support piece 9 surrounding the rail. A spring-loaded shaft 17 connects the support piece 9 to a support piece 10 into which the rail 6 can be tightened by means of a loop screw 11. By means of the wires 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, the camera 7 is suspended from the ends of the rail 6. The wire 16 supports the camera from the bottom. Adjusting its length allows the camera lens to be oriented in the directions between the vertical and horizontal positions. By turning the rail 6 and adjusting the length of the wire 15 16, the camera can be aimed at any object below.

By moving the rail 6 inside the support piece 10, the position of the rail 6 can be adjusted to balance.

By moving the rail 5 inside the support piece 9, the position of the ball 1 can be adjusted to some extent by 20.

However, the foregoing description is not intended to limit the use of the invention to the example provided. It can be used to hang and orient the camera on any slow-moving device.

Claims (2)

69277 PATENT CLAIM '^' ' A device for hanging a camera (7) by means of wires (3, A, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) on an elongate, horizontal balloon (1) filled with a lighter gas, anchored at one end by a line (2) and directed by a wind. ) at both ends, by means of which the camera (7) can be aimed at the desired object, characterized in that the device comprises an upper rail (5) parallel to the center line of the balloon (1) suspended from two ends (3, 4) at the ends of the balloon (1). the support piece (9) is mounted on a support piece (10) surrounding the lower, parallel, pivotable rail (6) against a rail perpendicular axis (17), and that the camera (7) depends on five wires (12, 13, 14) attached to the ends of the lower rail (6); , 15, 16), four (12, 13, 14, 15) of which support the camera (7) from its carrier belt loops so that the axis intended to pass through them is perpendicular to the axis (17) between the rails and to the lower rail (6), and one lan (16) supports the camera (7) from its lower part, and attached to the screw in the socket thread.
