Description

【0001】
【発明の属する分野】
本発明はカメラ付携帯電話機用の簡易な三脚に関する。
【0002】
【従来技術】
携帯電話機は近年誰でもが携帯するまでに普及し、また技術の進歩により色々な機能を内蔵した携帯電話機が市販されるようになった。取り分けカメラ付携帯電話機の出現はその最たるものであり、普通の携帯電話機からそのような多機能の携帯電話機に移行しつつある。加えて、セルフタイマーを内蔵したカメラ付携帯電話機も市販されるに至っている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そのようなカメラ付携帯電話機の場合、セルフタイマーを使って写真をとろうとすれば、当然の事として携帯電話機を立て掛けることが必要になる。一般的には、その立て掛けには充電スタンドが利用されことになるが、カメラ付携帯電話機を充電スタンドに差して立てた場合、充電スタンドの構造上、カメラの向きが常に決まってしまうことから、スタンドの置き方を工夫してカメラの向きを調整する必要がある。その上、充電スタンドは寸法形状が大きく嵩張っているため、これを携帯するには不向きなものである。
本発明の目的は、カメラの向きの調整を可能とし、小型に折り畳めて携帯し易い簡易なカメラ付携帯電話機用三脚を提供することにある。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の上記の目的は、主軸線を中心に左右に開くようになった2つの前脚と、前記主軸線を中心に回動するようになった第1取付けブロック及び第2取付けブロックと、第1取付けブロックの第1横枢軸を中心に後方に開くようになった1つの後脚と、第2取付けブロックの第2横枢軸を中心に前後に回動でき、互いに電気的に接続された縦向きの接続端子部及び後向きの充電接続端子部を有するコネクターブロックと、を含む、カメラ付携帯電話機用三脚を提供することによって達成される。
【0005】
本発明の好ましい実施形態では、3つの脚には、支持面との接触部分に滑り止めパッドが取り付けられている。
【0006】
【作用】
先ず、コネクターブロックを第2取付けブロックを介して、主軸線を中心に、折り畳まれた脚に対してほぼ180°回動させ、次いで、前脚を左右に開き、後脚を後方に開いて三脚を立てる。次いで、カメラ付携帯電話機の外部接続端子部をコネクターブロックの縦向きの接続端子部に差し込んで接続し、それによってカメラ付携帯電話機を三脚で支持する。カメラ付携帯電話機のカメラを巧く被写体に向けるため、コネクターブロックを第2取付けブロックに対して第2横枢軸を中心に回動させてカメラの向きを微調整する。本発明による三脚は、充電接続端子部にACアダプターのコネクターを接続すれば、充電スタンドとしても使用することができる。
【0007】
【発明の実施形態】
以下、本発明によるカメラ付携帯電話用三脚の実施形態を添付図面を参照してもっと詳細に説明する。
図1、2、及び3を参照すると、2つの前脚1及び2、第1取付けブロック3及び第2取付けブロック4は主軸線5を中心にぞれぞれ独立に回動できるように構成されている。かくして前脚1及び2は主軸線5を中心に左右に開くことができる。後脚6は第1取付けブロック3に第1横枢軸7で回動自在に連結されていて、第1横枢軸7を中心に後方に開くことができる。第2取付けブロック4には、コネクターブロック8が第2横枢軸9で回動自在に連結されていて、第2横枢軸9を中心に前後に回動させることができる。コネクターブロック8は互いに電気的に接続された縦向きの接続端子部10及び後向きの充電接続端子部11を有する。本発明による三脚の主要部品は硬質のプラスチック材料で形成される。前脚1、2及び後脚6には、支持面との接触部分に軟質のプラスチック材料からなる滑り止めパッド12、13がそれぞれ取り付けられている。
【0008】
使用に際し、先ず、第2取付けブロック4を主軸線5を中心に、図1に示す折り畳み状態から脚に対してほぼ180°回動させてコネクターブロック8を起こす。次いで、前脚1及び2を主軸線5を中心に回動させて左右に開き、後脚6を第1横枢軸7を中心に回動させて後方に開く。前脚1及び2はコネクターブロック8を起こす前に左右に開いてもよくその順序は問わないことは明らかであろう。しかしながら、後脚6は、コネクターブロック8が起こされた後でなければ、これが邪魔して後方に開くことができないことも図1から理解されよう。かくして開かれた3つの脚により、コネクターブロック8を上に向けて三脚を支持面上に立てることができる。次いで、図2及び3に示すように、カメラ付携帯電話機14の外部接続端子部(図示せず)をコネクターブロック8の縦向きの接続端子部10に差し込んで接続すれば、カメラ付携帯電話機14を三脚で支持することができる。カメラ付携帯電話機のカメラ15を巧く被写体に向けるには、コネクターブロック8を第2取付けブロック4に対して第2横枢軸9を中心に回動させればよい。このようにしてセルフタイマーによる撮影を行うことができる。本発明による三脚は、カメラのぶれ防止のためにカメラを固定して撮影する際の三脚として使用できることは勿論である。
【0009】
本発明による三脚は、図3から明らかなように、充電接続端子部11にACアダプター(図示せず)のコネクター16を接続すれば、充電スタンドとしても使用することができる。
【0010】
カメラ付携帯電話機がマナーモードにセットされている場合には、電話機に内蔵した振動器による振動で受信を知らせるようになっていることは周知の通りである。三脚で支持されたカメラ付携帯電話機が受信により振動するとき三脚はその振動により支持面上を動く傾向がある。本発明によれば、3つの脚の先端に設けられた滑り止めパッド12、13がそのような振動による三脚の望ましくない動きを完全に防止する。
【0011】
本発明による三脚は上記と逆の順序で図1に示すように折り畳むことが出来る。このような折り畳めば、三脚はコンパクトな形態になり、嵩張らず携帯に大変便利である。

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the two front legs 1 and 2, the first mounting block 3, and the second mounting block 4 are configured to be independently rotatable about a main axis 5. I have. Thus, the front legs 1 and 2 can be opened right and left about the main axis 5. The rear leg 6 is rotatably connected to the first mounting block 3 by a first horizontal pivot 7, and can be opened rearward about the first horizontal pivot 7. A connector block 8 is rotatably connected to the second mounting block 4 via a second horizontal pivot 9 so that the connector block 8 can be rotated back and forth about the second horizontal pivot 9. The connector block 8 has a vertical connection terminal portion 10 and a rearward charging connection terminal portion 11 electrically connected to each other. The main part of the tripod according to the invention is made of a hard plastic material. Non-slip pads 12 and 13 made of a soft plastic material are attached to the front legs 1 and 2 and the rear leg 6 at the contact portions with the support surfaces.
[0008]
In use, the connector block 8 is first raised by rotating the second mounting block 4 about the main axis 5 from the folded state shown in FIG. Next, the front legs 1 and 2 are pivoted about the main axis 5 to open left and right, and the rear legs 6 are pivoted about the first horizontal pivot 7 to open rearward. It will be clear that the front legs 1 and 2 may be opened to the left and right before raising the connector block 8 in any order. However, it can also be seen from FIG. 1 that the rear leg 6 cannot be opened rearward unless it is after the connector block 8 has been raised. The three legs thus opened allow the tripod to stand on the support surface with the connector block 8 facing up.
