Description

この発明はスティックタイプのストロボでこのストロボがケースに収納できる構造にすることで長手方向に長くできる利便性を計ったケース付きストロボに関する。 The present invention relates to a stroboscope with a case which is a stick-type stroboscope and is designed to be convenient in that it can be elongated in the longitudinal direction by making the stroboscope into a case.

従来、所謂外付けのストロボもいろいろの形状が考察されユーザの購買意欲を高めようとされているが、比較的ストロボ自体の筐体が外部に直接露出していて傷などが付き易かったり、破損したり又古い筐体のイメージが強かったりしている。そこで、筐体を保護し、古いイメージを脱却し、スポットも実現できるケース付きストロボが望まれている。
特開平１−１７８９４４号公報 Conventionally, so-called external strobes are also considered in various shapes and are trying to increase the user's willingness to purchase. Or the image of the old housing is strong. Therefore, there is a demand for a strobe with a case that protects the casing, escapes the old image, and realizes a spot.
JP-A-1-178944

従って、この発明の課題は、古いストロボ筐体の外観を脱却し、且つ筐体の破損、損傷などを防止し、スポットも実現できるケース付きストロボを提供するものである。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a strobe with a case that can escape the appearance of an old strobe housing, prevent the housing from being broken or damaged, and realize a spot.

上記の課題を解決するために、好ましくは扁平の角柱形で内部に電源機能、コントロール機能、発光機能等及びその他を含みストロボとして必要な機能を内蔵したストロボ本体と、該ストロボ本体を収納し該ストロボ本体と相似形のケース本体とからなる構造にすることによって古いストロボの外観イメージを脱却でき、しかも筐体の破損、損傷が防止でき同時にスポットも実現できるケース付きストロボが提供できる。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a strobe body preferably having a flat prismatic shape and including a power supply function, a control function, a light emitting function, etc. and other functions necessary as a strobe, and a housing containing the strobe body, By using a structure composed of a strobe body and a similar case body, it is possible to provide a case-equipped strobe that can escape the appearance image of an old strobe, can prevent damage and damage to the housing, and can also realize a spot.

請求項１ではストロボ本体を収納するケースによって筐体が破損、損傷することがなくなり外観も今日的に変われる効果がある。
請求項２ではストロボ本体の適宜個所にスレーブを設けてあるから通常の外付け形のストロボとして利用できる。
請求項３、４ではスレーブとスポット穴を設けているから、両方の機能効果をあげることができる。 According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is an effect that the casing is not damaged or damaged by the case for storing the strobe body, and the appearance is changed today.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since a slave is provided at an appropriate location of the strobe body, it can be used as a normal external strobe.
Since the slave and the spot hole are provided in the third and fourth aspects, both functions and effects can be obtained.

（実施形態１）
以下、この発明の実施例を添付図面、図１、図２に基づいて説明する。
図１の１はプラスチック製のケース本体で、この本体１は長細い短冊状である。そして、一方は開口し、他方は有底になっている。このケース本体１はこのケース本体１と相似形のストロボ本体２を収納する構造になっている。そして、ケース本体１とストロボ本体２との収納状態はストロボ本体２がややきつくケース本体１内に収納されるように寸法調整してある。
従って、ストロボ本体１の出し入れには少し力が必要である。 (Embodiment 1)
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 and FIG.
1 of FIG. 1 is a plastic case main body, and this main body 1 is a long and thin strip shape. One is open and the other is bottomed. The case body 1 has a structure that houses a strobe body 2 similar to the case body 1. The housing state of the case body 1 and the strobe body 2 is adjusted so that the strobe body 2 is housed in the case body 1 which is slightly tight.
Therefore, a little force is required to put in and out the strobe body 1.

前記ストロボ本体２の内部には電源部、コントロール部、発光部３がそれぞれストロボの機能が実施できるように内蔵されている。発光部３はストロボ光を発光するもので、ストロボ本体２の頂部には図２に示すようにスレーブ４が配置してある。従って、このスレーブ４はカメラの発光があるとこれに感応してストロボ本体２の発光部を発光させることになる。 A power supply unit, a control unit, and a light emitting unit 3 are built in the strobe body 2 so that the strobe functions can be performed. The light emitting section 3 emits strobe light, and a slave 4 is arranged on the top of the strobe body 2 as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the slave 4 emits light from the camera, the slave 4 emits light from the light emitting portion of the strobe body 2 in response to the light.

前記ケース本体１にはストロボ本体２の発光部３が対応する位置にスポットとして利用するスポット穴５が穿設されていて、前記ストロボ本体２の発光部３が対応する位置にあるときにスポット光を放つことができるようになっている。勿論必要に応じてスポット穴５の直径を任意に選択すればよい。 The case body 1 has a spot hole 5 used as a spot at a position corresponding to the light emitting section 3 of the strobe body 2, and spot light is emitted when the light emitting section 3 of the strobe body 2 is at a corresponding position. Can be released. Of course, the diameter of the spot hole 5 may be arbitrarily selected as necessary.

前記スポット穴５の幾つかを必要とする場合は、スポット穴５を設けた反対側にスポット穴５と径がことなるスポット穴を穿設しておけば２種類の径の異なるスポット穴が利用できるものである。また、ストロボ本体２とケース本体１との縦断面が正方形であればスポット穴は４個設定でき一層便利である。 When some of the spot holes 5 are necessary, if spot holes having a diameter different from that of the spot holes 5 are formed on the opposite side of the spot holes 5, two types of spot holes having different diameters are used. It can be done. Further, if the longitudinal section of the strobe body 2 and the case body 1 is square, four spot holes can be set, which is more convenient.

次に通常のストロボとして使用する場合は、前記ストロボ本体２を矢視方向Aの方向に少し力を入れて引き抜くと、スイッチ６部分が溝７でガイドされ発光部３が現われる。発光部３が現われるとストロボ機能を働かせることができる状態に設定される。この場合予め設けられたスイッチ６をONしておく。かくして、スレーブ４がカメラのフラッシュ光を受光するとストロボ本体２もスレーブ４の受光で発光部３から発光しその機能を発揮することになる。 Next, when used as a normal strobe, when the strobe body 2 is pulled out with a little force in the direction of arrow A, the switch 6 portion is guided by the groove 7 and the light emitting section 3 appears. When the light emitting unit 3 appears, it is set to a state in which the strobe function can be activated. In this case, the switch 6 provided in advance is turned on. Thus, when the slave 4 receives the flash light of the camera, the strobe body 2 also emits light from the light emitting unit 3 by the light reception of the slave 4 and exhibits its function.

前記ストロボ本体２をケース本体１へ収納してスポット穴５を利用する場合、矢視B方向にストロボ本体２を押し込むとスイッチ６部分が溝７でガイドされケース本体１は収納され、丁度発光部３がスポット穴５の位置に一致する。 When the strobe body 2 is housed in the case body 1 and the spot hole 5 is used, when the strobe body 2 is pushed in the direction of arrow B, the switch 6 portion is guided by the groove 7 and the case body 1 is housed. 3 coincides with the position of the spot hole 5.

この状態で予めスイッチ６をONにしておけばカメラのフラッシュ光をスレーブ４が受光し、これによって発光部３は発光し、スポット穴５からスポット光が得られる。スイッチ６はストロボ本体２が発光するための待機状態を設定するものである。 In this state, if the switch 6 is turned on in advance, the slave 4 receives the flash light of the camera, whereby the light emitting unit 3 emits light and the spot light is obtained from the spot hole 5. The switch 6 sets a standby state for the flash main body 2 to emit light.
