JP2003241299A - Device for preventing tripod for camera from having leg part sunk in soft surface - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an auxiliary device which can be compactly folded and is easy to carry with respect to a device which has a simple structure and is inexpensively manufactured and is easily attached and detached at the time of using a tripod for camera on a soft surface like snow and prevents leg parts from sinking and laterally shifting in the horizontal direction. <P>SOLUTION: Bags made of a soft material like cloth are placed under hard disks, and leg parts of a tripod or the like are put in the bags, and thus the auxiliary device is easily attached. Transverse shift is prevented because parts of the bags stick in the soft surface, and the leg parts are prevented from sinking more than necessary because the disks function as resistance, and the device is made thin and compact when being folded because the soft bags are used in junction parts to the leg parts. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a tripod of a camera,
A tripod for a camera that can be easily attached and removed when used on snow or in mud, etc., and prevents side slippage, as well as prevents the legs from sinking more than necessary and allows stable use. Of auxiliary equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a tripod is used on a soft surface such as fresh snow or a swamp, if the leg is easily opened and the tripod is set up, the weight of the camera sinks the leg into the snow, which causes The force to spread the legs worked and sometimes the tripod was damaged.

A so-called snowshoe is known as a device for preventing the legs from sinking more than necessary. In this snowshoe, a flat disc and a device for fixing the legs of a tripod to the upper part are integrated. Attach the snow shoes to the tip of the tripod when using it, and place it on the snow for use. Therefore, the stability on the snow is good in the vertical direction, but the bottom part of the disk is flat, so it is extremely poor in the horizontal horizontal direction, and there is a risk of skidding in the case of slightly hard snow. Therefore, I had to bother to remove it each time. In addition, since the part that fixes the legs of the tripod on the upper part of the disk is exposed, the structure is bulky and not compact.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to be stable in the vertical and horizontal directions in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction when using a tripod on a soft surface such as snow or a mud, and has a simple structure, so that it is inexpensive to manufacture. You can
It is an object of the present invention to provide an auxiliary device having a structure that can be easily attached and detached, and that is prevented from falling when moving to a shooting place, is durable even when used on a hard object such as the ground, and can be folded compactly.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the invention of claim 1 uses a bag (3) made of a soft material such as cloth under a disc (2) made of a hard material such as wood or plastic. It is a simple structure that can be manufactured at low cost, and the bag (3) with legs such as a tripod stuck in the snow or mud and prevents horizontal movement in the horizontal direction. It prevents vertical movement that is more than necessary, and folds the bag (3) to make it thin and compact.

According to the invention of claim 2, the bag (3) for accommodating the legs such as a tripod is fastened with a tightening device such as rubber or velcro so that the bag does not easily fall off.

The invention of claim 3 uses a durable material such as leather to prevent the bottom of the bag (3) from being worn when the device is used on the ground or a hard object such as asphalt. The resulting chip (4) is attached to make it durable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, the actual configuration of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present apparatus, in which a leg portion (1) such as a tripod passes through the center of a disc (2). FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the cutting plane AB of FIG. 1 in the state of being contained in the bag (3).

The structure of the present invention is a cloth (2) made of a hard material such as wood or plastic as shown in FIG. 6 and a cloth (2) having a tightening device (5) such as rubber or velcro tape attached to the middle portion of FIG. A bag (3) for holding legs such as a tripod made of a soft material such as, and a tip (4) made of a durable material such as leather of FIG. Below the portion C1 of FIG.
It is a structure in which the C2 part of is attached and the D2 part of Fig. 8 is pasted to the D1 part of Fig. 7.

[0010]

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure. In the invention of claim 1, when the bag is attached to a leg such as a tripod, the bag (3) is used.
It can be easily attached by inserting the legs into the, and it is possible to prevent the legs from sinking due to the weak surface and prevent them from moving in the horizontal direction. Also, folding the bag (3) makes it compact. became.

According to the invention of claim 2, by tightening the middle part of the bag (3) with a tightening device (5) such as rubber or velcro, this device is prevented from falling from the leg part of a tripod or the like,
Made it easy to move the shooting location.

In the invention of claim 3, the tip (4) made of a durable material such as leather is attached to the bottom of the bag (3), so that when the device is used on a hard ground or the like, it is easy. I was able to prevent wear.
