Abstract

Support pour appareil de prise de vue ou tout appareil fixé sur un objet en mouvement nécessitant une stabilisation horizontale. L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de fixer un appareil de prise de vue ou autre sur un bateau ou tout objet en mouvement, tout en conservant la ligne d'horizon horizontale sur les informations captées par cet appareil. Il est constitué d'une platine (2) permettant de fixer l'axe fileté (3), de deux rondelle de frein (5) et de deux joints toriques d'étanchéité (13) à chaque extrémité du tube (8), d'un écrou (12) et d'un écrou borgne (7) avec une rondelle d'appui (6) de réglage de la friction. Le bras oscillant du pendule (9) est soudé au tube (8) qui tourne librement autour de l'axe (3) et soutient la platine de fixation (10) de l'appareil qui devient alors la masse du pendule ne nécessitant ni contrepoids ni réglages. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à être utilisé sur les bateaux ou tout objet susceptible de s'incliner horizontalement.Support for camera or any device attached to a moving object requiring horizontal stabilization. The invention relates to a device for fixing a camera or other camera on a boat or any moving object, while maintaining the horizontal horizon on the information captured by this device. It consists of a plate (2) for fixing the threaded shaft (3), two brake washers (5) and two O-rings (13) at each end of the tube (8), a nut (12) and a blind nut (7) with a bearing washer (6) for adjusting the friction. The oscillating arm of the pendulum (9) is welded to the tube (8) which rotates freely about the axis (3) and supports the mounting plate (10) of the apparatus which then becomes the mass of the pendulum requiring no counterweight neither settings. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for use on boats or any object likely to tilt horizontally.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui permet de fixer un appareil de prise de vue ou autre sur un bateau, un véhicule ou tout objet en mouvement susceptible de s'incliner horizontalement tout en conservant la ligne d'horizon horizontale sur les informations captées par cet appareil. La fixation de ce type d'appareil est traditionnellement effectuée à. l'aide de différents supports rigides attachés solidement sur les balcons, les chandeliers, le guidon, le cadre ou le châssis. Dès que le bateau, le véhicule ou l'objet s'incline, l'information captée par l'appareil fixé de cette manière subit cette inclinaison et présente donc un défaut d'horizontalité.The present invention relates to a device which makes it possible to fix a camera or other apparatus on a boat, a vehicle or any moving object capable of tilting horizontally while keeping the horizontal horizon line on the information picked up by this camera. apparatus. Fixing this type of device is traditionally done at. using various rigid supports securely attached to balconies, candlesticks, handlebars, frames or frames. As soon as the boat, the vehicle or the object tilts, the information captured by the apparatus fixed in this way undergoes this inclination and therefore has a horizontal defect.

10 Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à. cet inconvénient. Il utilise le principe du pendule oscillant dont la masse est l'appareil lui-même et ne nécessite pas de contrepoids ni de réglages, quel que soit le type d'appareil utilisé. Par exemple, les appareils modernes de prise de vue légers, présentent aujourd'hui la fonction de retournement (automatique ou manuel) haut-bas de 15 l'image ce qui rend donc possible leur éventuelle utilisation à, l'envers dans le dispositif. Celui-ci comporte deux parties principales : - un axe horizontal fixé par un écrou à, une platine en « L », elle même fixée sur le bateau, le véhicule ou l'objet grâce à. une bague ouvrante et démontable. - un tube cylindrique libre et freiné, ajusté sur l'axe horizontal par deux écrous, 20 supportant un bras de pendule oscillant rigide, sur lequel est fixé une platine horizontale destinée à. recevoir la fixation de l'appareil. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente la vue de profil du dispositif de l'invention. La figure 2 représente la vue de fane du dispositif de l'invention.The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy. this disadvantage. It uses the oscillating pendulum principle whose mass is the device itself and does not require any counterweights or adjustments, whatever the type of device used. For example, modern lightweight cameras today have the function of turning (automatic or manual) up-down of the image, which makes possible their possible use upside down in the device. It has two main parts: - a horizontal axis fixed by a nut to, an "L" plate, itself fixed on the boat, the vehicle or the object thanks to. an opening and removable ring. a free and braked cylindrical tube, fitted on the horizontal axis by two nuts, supporting a rigid oscillating pendulum arm, on which is fixed a horizontal plate intended to. receive the fixture of the device. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents the profile view of the device of the invention. Figure 2 shows the view of the device of the invention.

25 La figure 3 représente la vue de face d'une variante du dispositif de l'invention avec compensation verticale supplémentaire du mouvement. En référence à. ces dessins le dispositif comporte : une bague de fixation (1) ouvrante et démontable serrée par le boulon (11) ; une platine (2) qui permet de fixer l'axe fileté (3) grâce à, l'écrou (4) ; une rondelle de frein (5) et un joint 30 torique d'étanchéité (13) à. chaque extrémité du tube (8) ; un écrou (12) et un écrou borgne (7) avec une rondelle d'appui (6) de réglage de la friction ; le bras oscillant du pendule (9) est soudé au tube (8) qui tourne librement autour de l'axe (3) et soutient la platine de fixation (10) de l'appareil qui devient alors la masse du pendule. La figure 3 propose une variante du dispositif avec compensation 35 horizontale et verticale du mouvement. La platine de fixation des appareils (10) du précédent dispositif est remplacée par une nacelle (14) fixée à, un axe (15) tournant à l'intérieur du tube (20) solidaire du bras pendulaire (9). La nacelle (14) est fixée à l'axe fileté par les écrous (17,19, 21 et 22). Le freinage de cet axe est réalisé par les rondelles (18) et l'étanchéité par les joints toriques (16). Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à être utilisé sur les 8 bateaux et tout engin ou objet susceptible de s'incliner horizontalement (et verticalement avec la variante figure 3). La platine ou la nacelle se trouvant à l'extrémité du bras du pendule oscillant permet de recevoir par collage ou par vissage, tout type de fixation d'appareils de prise de vue ou autres (caméras miniatures, Smartphones, 10 appareils photo, laser de mesure, panneaux solaires, feux de signalisation, antennes...).FIG. 3 shows the front view of a variant of the device of the invention with additional vertical compensation of the movement. With reference to. these drawings the device comprises: a fixing ring (1) opening and dismountable tightened by the bolt (11); a plate (2) for fixing the threaded shaft (3) by means of the nut (4); a brake washer (5) and an O-ring seal (13). each end of the tube (8); a nut (12) and a blind nut (7) with a friction adjusting washer (6); the oscillating arm of the pendulum (9) is welded to the tube (8) which rotates freely about the axis (3) and supports the fixing plate (10) of the apparatus which then becomes the mass of the pendulum. FIG. 3 proposes a variant of the device with horizontal and vertical compensation of the movement. The mounting plate of the apparatus (10) of the previous device is replaced by a nacelle (14) fixed to an axis (15) rotating inside the tube (20) integral with the pendulum arm (9). The nacelle (14) is fixed to the threaded axis by the nuts (17, 19, 21 and 22). The braking of this axis is achieved by the washers (18) and the sealing by the O-rings (16). The device according to the invention is particularly intended for use on 8 boats and any machine or object capable of tilting horizontally (and vertically with the variant Figure 3). The plate or the pod located at the end of the oscillating pendulum arm can receive by gluing or screwing, any type of fixing cameras or other devices (miniature cameras, smartphones, 10 cameras, laser measurement, solar panels, signal lights, antennas ...).
