JP2001157102A - Microphone holder mechanism for video camera - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further reduce damages to a microphone and a microphone mecha nism, which may possibly occur in the case the long microphone is fixed by only one clamp part and to reduce sound deterioration due to the shaking of the top end of the microphone, in the microphone mechanism of a video camera. SOLUTION: This microphone mechanism has two clamp parts for holding the microphone, and further, one between the two clamp parts can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the microphone.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a microphone holder mechanism of a video camera.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional microphone holder mechanism mounts a microphone holder consisting of a single clamp portion on a side surface of a video camera with a screw. As shown, the microphone was held by the clamp portion of the microphone holder.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned prior art,
When a longer microphone is attached, the distance from the point where the microphone is clamped to the tip of the microphone becomes longer. In such a case, the microphone or the microphone holder may be damaged. In addition, there is a possibility that vibration is frequently generated at the tip of the microphone, or the vibration is increased, so that an unnecessary sound is picked up.

[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and is hardly damaged even when a longer microphone is mounted.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a microphone holder mechanism that makes it difficult to pick up unnecessary sounds.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a microphone holder mechanism for attaching a microphone to a video camera. And one of the two clamps is movable in the longitudinal direction of the microphone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a microphone holder mechanism according to the present invention. The microphone holder mechanism includes a clamp unit 1, a clamp unit 2, a base 3, and a holding plate 4, and a microphone 5 is mounted. Hereinafter, the relationship between the components of the microphone holder mechanism will be described. In FIG. 1, a clamp portion 1 and a clamp portion 2 are inserted into grooves of a base 3. The clamp part 1 is fixed to the base 3 with screws, so that only the clamp part 2 is movable back and forth. Also, the clamp 2
A holding plate 4 is attached to the base 3 as a retaining member for the base 3. It should be noted that even if the clamp portions 1 and 2 have grooves on the side thereof and the base side has a T-shaped cross section, the present invention can be implemented in the same manner as the above-described microphone holder mechanism.

Next, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which the clamp unit 2 is moved in a direction approaching the clamp unit 1, the distance from the clamp unit 1 is reduced, and a short microphone is held. Also, FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which a clamp unit 2 is moved in a direction away from the clamp unit 1 to increase a gap between the clamp unit 1 and a long microphone.

[0008]

According to the present invention, it is possible to fix the microphone such that the distance between the microphone and the microphone is short when the microphone is short and the distance is wide when the microphone is long. And
In addition to minimizing the vibration of the microphone and not picking up unnecessary sound, the shape of the two clamps is shared, so that a lower-cost microphone holder mechanism can be provided.
