DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a camera for photographing microfilms and the like which is used alone for carrying and storing heavy cameras which are heavy, and also serves as a work table for actual camera photographing. The present invention relates to a box device dedicated to heavy-weight cameras.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, there is a camera for photographing an object to be formed into a microfilm. This type of camera includes a photographing table on which an object to be photographed is mounted, a camera unit attached to an upper end of a column vertically provided at an end of the photographing table, and an illumination lamp provided on an arm which is divided into right and left from a middle portion of the column. Consists of

The total weight of the above-mentioned camera is about 50 kg, and it is called a heavy-weight camera here because it is a heavy object that usually requires two workers when packing or unpacking. On the other hand, even if there is a slight vibration at the time of photographing, the image becomes out of focus. Therefore, it is necessary to support the camera on an extremely sturdy dedicated work table.

[0004]

When using the heavy object camera, it is rare to install the camera in a so-called studio and bring the object to be photographed. There are many opportunities for so-called business trip photography, which is carried in and photographed.

[0005] For example, objects to be photographed are stored in public places and are always available for browsing, and cultural properties, etc., can hardly be rented out for photographing. It will be taken out.

In addition, under conditions where the photographing time is limited and there are a large number of photographing objects, a large number of cameras must be prepared and photographing work must be performed simultaneously to complete the processing in a short time. .

[0007] In this case, each camera is individually packed, transported and carried into a shooting location, and each package is opened at a designated portion and placed on a work table. As the above-mentioned packing material, the one used when the camera was purchased from the camera manufacturer is stored, and is taken out and used each time a business trip is taken.

However, since the packing material is a simple one consisting of a combination of a wooden frame and a cardboard box, even if it is used several times, it is extremely damaged and cannot be used. Therefore, new packing materials must always be replenished and stored.

Further, as described above, a heavy-weight camera and an extremely rugged dedicated work table are required to prevent defocusing. It is logistically difficult to transport and bring in a dedicated workbench.

Conventionally, a long desk provided at a business trip destination is requested to be borrowed, taken out of a storage location, and moved to a shooting site to perform a shooting operation. Of course, after the work is completed, the work must be returned to the storage place again, which takes a great deal of trouble as a whole.

[0011] Since it is merely a long desk, not only is it not necessarily guaranteed in terms of strength, but there is also a run-out due to work and a run-out due to accidental contact with the long desk. Shooting often fails.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For example, a camera which is heavy by itself, such as a camera for photographing microfilm (herein referred to as a heavy object camera). Target.

FIG. 1 shows an assembled state of a box apparatus for exclusive use of a heavy-weight camera, which includes a box body 1 having an open upper surface,
Lid 2 for opening and closing the upper opening of the box body 1
And a completely sealed structure without any gaps.

Both the box body 1 and the lid 2 are made of a reinforced synthetic resin material and have a sufficient thickness, so that they are light and extremely rigid. .

By design, a heavy object of up to about 200 kg can be stored or placed inside the box main body 1 or on the lid 2, and the target heavy object camera is about 50 kg, so that it can be used with a margin. Can withstand.

Positioning projections 1a are provided at the four uppermost corners of the box body 1, and auxiliary side plates 3 are detachably fitted to a pair of opposed side portions as described later.
A plurality of supporting legs 4 are provided at the bottom of the box main body 1 to secure a space between the bottom of the box main body 1 and a claw of a forklift, for example.

By mounting a free wheel on the bottom of the support leg 4, it is easy to move with the heavy object camera housed. However, when photographing with a camera, it is naturally necessary to remove the free wheel so as not to cause any vibration.

The box device thus configured has a width dimension, a height dimension, and a depth dimension capable of accommodating a heavy-weight camera therein. Then, although not particularly shown, in a state where a plurality of box devices are stacked, the support legs 4 at the bottom of the upper box main body 1 are reliably positioned by the lower positioning projections 1a.

FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the box device. Box body 1
Each of the opposing sides is provided with a notch 5 having a predetermined depth and width from the upper edge, and the auxiliary side plate 3 described above is detachably attached thereto.
That is, the guide recess is provided on both sides and the bottom of the notch 5, and the both side edges and the lower edge of the auxiliary side plate 3 engage to close the notch 5.

In the heavy-weight camera K, a camera section a attached to a support is folded and housed in a box device for transportation and storage. Further, at the time of photographing with the camera, the operation is performed by returning the camera unit a to a predetermined posture.

In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a base plate, which is placed on the bottom of the box body 1 before the heavy object camera K is housed in the box body 1. The base plate 6 is made of a reinforced synthetic resin material and an aluminum material, has a sufficient thickness, and has a sufficient rigidity.

On the upper surface of the base plate 6, there are provided hook portions 6a at predetermined intervals in the depth direction, each of which extends over the entire length in the width direction. These hooks 6a are formed of holes having a rectangular cross section with a thin section, and plate pieces of the same shape can be inserted from both left and right ends.

Further, inside the box body 1, two base plates 7, 7 of the same shape are accommodated. The base plate 7 has a plurality of claw portions 7a protruding from one side edge, and is laid under the heavy object camera K together with the base plate 6 in the box main body 1 in a state where the claw portions 7a are combined with each other. To accommodate.

The heavy camera K is housed in a box device having a triple bottom structure including the bottom of the box body 1, the base plate 6, and the pair of base plates 7, 7, and has sufficient rigidity as a box device with respect to the camera weight. Holding.

In this manner, the pair of base plates 7 and 7 and the base plate 6 are laid on the bottom of the box body 1 and the heavy camera K
And the auxiliary side plate 3 is attached to the notch 5 and the lid 2 is fitted into the upper opening 1b of the box body 1, thereby completing the operation for transporting and storing the heavy camera K. .

At the time of photographing on a business trip, the heavy equipment camera K is accommodated in the box apparatus as described above and transported. After being carried to the site, the box equipment is once disassembled in the reverse order to take out the heavy equipment camera K, To place. After that, it is assembled again as a box device.

Since the heavy-weight camera K weighs about 50 kg, it is desirable that two workers jointly take out the camera from the box body 1 and store the camera in the box body 1 from both sides. . In any case, at this time, not only the opening of the lid 2 but also the removal of the auxiliary side plate 3 and the opening of the notch 5 are performed.

To further explain this work, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), two workers lift the both sides of the heavy-weight camera K and move it, and move the cameras more than the bottom edge of the notch 5. It is located at a somewhat high position and in the upper opening 1b of the box body 1.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), the left and right workers simultaneously take a posture to bend down, and place the heavy object camera K on the bottom of the box body 1 on which the base plate 6 is laid. At this time, the worker can insert the whole body into the notch 5, and the notch 5 becomes a working space, and the distance from the bottom of the box body 1 can be short.

That is, the required height of the box body 1 is set not only for carrying and storing the camera as a box device dedicated to the heavy-weight camera K, but also as a work table as described later. .

For example, when there is no notch 5, the heavy camera K is lifted up beyond the upper edge of the box body 1, and
You have to descend from here to the bottom. The worker leans over the upper edge of the box body 1 and extends his arms as much as possible while bearing the weight of the camera with the hips bent deeply.
The camera is gently placed on the bottom of the box body 1 without giving an impact to the camera. In order to take out the heavy load camera K from the box device, the operation is the reverse of this, and in any case, the posture is extremely unreasonable and the workability is poor.

On the other hand, in the box device of the present invention,
Since the notch 5 is provided in the box body 1, the distance from the upper edge of the box body 1 to the bottom of the notch 5 can be increased, so that the degree of bending of the body can be reduced and the work can be performed relatively easily. Good nature.

In photographing with a camera, as shown in FIG. 4, after attaching the auxiliary side plate 3 to the box body 1 to close the notch 5, the upper opening 1b of the box body 1 is closed with the lid 2. To achieve. Then, the base plate 6 previously taken out of the box body 1 is placed on the lid 2. At this time, the vertical and horizontal directions of the base plate 6 are aligned with the lid 2 so that the engaging portion 6 provided here is provided.
a is set along the left-right direction.

The claws 7a of the base plate 7 are inserted into the engaging portions 6a of the base plate 6, and the base plates 7,
However, if the insertion operation is performed after the heavy-weight camera K is mounted on the base plate 6, the base plate 7 does not become obstructive.

As shown in FIG. 5, the heavy object camera K is mounted on a dedicated box device, and an actual camera photographing operation can be started. In this state, since the heavy object camera K is supported by the double lid of the lid 2 and the base plate 6, there is no concern about strength.

Moreover, since each component of the box device is designed to have sufficient rigidity, not only does there not occur any shake associated with photographing, but also it can withstand a certain degree of impact sufficiently to generate the shake. Absent.

Since the base plates 7, 7 protrude from both sides of the heavy object camera K, it is convenient to mount an object to be photographed. For example, if an object to be photographed is stacked on the right side plate 7 in the drawing, and a camera routine is set, the camera is sequentially photographed and then moved to the left side plate 7. Can be prevented beforehand.

As described above, by using the box device for the heavy-weight camera of the present invention, the camera can be easily transported and securely stored, and the protection and reliability of the camera can be improved. Further, the box device has sufficient rigidity to withstand a plurality of stacked box devices. As a result, the required space is reduced, and the transportation cost and the storage cost can be reduced.

When photographing on a business trip, the packing and unpacking of the box device are facilitated, and the workability can be improved. In particular, when a large number of heavy goods cameras K are brought to a business trip shooting destination at the same time, the effect is remarkably exhibited.

At the time of actual camera photographing, the box device serves as a work table supporting the heavy-weight camera K, so that it is not necessary to borrow a long desk from the photographing client at the destination of the business trip photographing.
The effect is exerted not only on the photographing execution side but also on the photographing client side.

Since the box device is manufactured extremely ruggedly, there is no slight shake of the camera at the time of photographing, no failure in photographing is obtained, reliability can be improved, and work can be speeded up.

[0048]

As described above, according to the present invention, a heavy camera can be easily packed and unpacked, thereby improving the reliability of transportation and storage. This has the effect of improving reliability without any shooting failure.
