Description

本発明は、三脚に取り付ける交換レンズケースに関するものである。 The present invention relates to an interchangeable lens case attached to a tripod.

従来、手持ち或いは背負い型等のカメラバッグに収納されるものの中で、カメラ本体以外では主として交換レンズが重量的にも容積的にも多くを占めている。その為にカメラの交換レンズは専用の交換レンズ収納ケースでも持ち運ばれる場合がある。
而して、この重いカメラバッグを、一時的に三脚に取り付け三脚の安定用重しの代わりとする場合やカメラバッグ自体に四脚を設けて撮影に使用するもの等もあるが、三脚にカメラを取り付けたままでの移動を伴う撮影には不便である。
更に、カメラ用三脚は折り畳んでカメラバッグに取り付けて持ち運ぶか、単独で肩に担いで運ぶのが普通であり、三脚を必要とする撮影時以外は無用、寧ろ邪魔になっているのが現状である。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, interchangeable lenses mainly occupy a large amount in terms of weight and volume other than the camera body, among those stored in hand-held or back-mounted camera bags. Therefore, the interchangeable lens of the camera may be carried in a dedicated interchangeable lens storage case.
Thus, there are cases where this heavy camera bag is temporarily attached to a tripod to replace the weight for stabilizing the tripod, or there are cameras that are equipped with a tripod and used for shooting. It is inconvenient for shooting with movement with the camera attached.
Furthermore, the camera tripod is usually folded and attached to the camera bag for carrying, or it is usually carried on the shoulder alone, and it is useless and rather obstructive except during shooting that requires a tripod. is there.

写真撮影において使用時以外は邪魔になる三脚の有効活用と重く嵩張る交換レンズの収納及び持ち運び方法の改善を課題とする。 The objectives are to make effective use of tripods that are not in use in photography, and to improve the storage and carrying method of heavy and bulky interchangeable lenses.

図１や図６に見るように、交換レンズの収納ケース２１や２２を三脚９０の脚９１と脚９１との間に取り付けることにより、三脚９０に交換レンズ収納ケースとしての役目をも与えることで、交換レンズ８０付きカメラ７０は小物類と共に取り回しの良い小型のカメラバッグに収納して持ち運ぶか、或いは三脚９０に取り付けたままでも交換レンズ収納ケース２１や２２や２５の交換レンズ等で三脚９０の重心位置を下げることにより、肩に担いでの持ち運びを安定かつ安全なものにする。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, by attaching the interchangeable lens storage cases 21 and 22 between the legs 91 and 91 of the tripod 90, the tripod 90 can also serve as an interchangeable lens storage case. The camera 70 with the interchangeable lens 80 is housed in a small camera bag that is easy to handle together with small items and carried, or even when attached to the tripod 90, the interchangeable lens storage case 21, 22 or 25 can be replaced with an interchangeable lens. By lowering the position of the center of gravity, the carrying on the shoulder is made stable and safe.

この交換レンズ収納ケース２１や２２は内面が円筒形の縦型で、三脚９０の上から見て、三脚９０のエレベータ９２を中心とする三脚の脚９１と三脚の脚９１との間の３つの空間に吊り下げる形態として、１つ以上設ける。 The interchangeable lens storage cases 21 and 22 have a cylindrical inner surface, and when viewed from the top of the tripod 90, the interchangeable lens storage cases 21 and 22 have three tripod legs 91 and a tripod leg 91 centered on an elevator 92 of the tripod 90. One or more forms are provided to hang in the space.

尚、この交換レンズ収納ケース２１や２２の内側には収納する交換レンズの太さに合わせて、交換レンズを巻くように衝撃吸収材を挿入する。 An impact absorbing material is inserted inside the interchangeable lens storage cases 21 and 22 so as to wind the interchangeable lens in accordance with the thickness of the interchangeable lens to be stored.

更に、図２や図３に見るように、この交換レンズ収納ケース２１や２２は長さ方向に１段若しくは複数段に別けられる様にして、交換レンズの長さによっては１つだけでなく複数の交換レンズを１つの交換レンズ収納ケース２１や２２に収納できる様にする。この場合、１つの交換レンズ収納ケース２１や２２が中間段の底に仕切り板２２ａを置くことで２つ以上の交換レンズ収納ケースになる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the interchangeable lens storage cases 21 and 22 are divided into one or a plurality of stages in the length direction, and depending on the length of the interchangeable lens, not only one but also a plurality This interchangeable lens can be stored in one interchangeable lens storage case 21 or 22. In this case, one interchangeable lens storage case 21 or 22 becomes two or more interchangeable lens storage cases by placing the partition plate 22a on the bottom of the intermediate stage.

この交換レンズ収納ケース２１や２２は三脚のエレベーター９２よりも長くても良いが、三脚のエレベーター９２に三脚のエレベーター用ガイドパイプ９５や三脚の展開用ガイドアーム９６が付属する場合は交換レンズ収納ケース接続部品５３の長さは三脚の展開用ガイドアーム９６を折り畳んだ状態でも設置できる長さとするが、各交換レンズ収納ケースの底板を図１３の様にすることで交換レンズ収納ケース２１や２２や２５の長さを調整する。 The interchangeable lens storage cases 21 and 22 may be longer than the tripod elevator 92. However, when a tripod elevator guide pipe 95 or a tripod deployment guide arm 96 is attached to the tripod elevator 92, the interchangeable lens storage case. The length of the connecting part 53 is set so that it can be installed even when the tripod deployment guide arm 96 is folded. However, the bottom plate of each interchangeable lens storage case is as shown in FIG. Adjust the length of 25.

なお、カメラ７０を三脚９０に取り付けたまま持ち運ぶ場合に、カメラに取り付けられた交換レンズ８０を下に向けた状態で三脚の脚９１と三脚の脚９１との間にカメラに取り付けた交換レンズ部分を格納できる窪みを持つ交換レンズ収納ケース２５を１つ設けても良い。 When the camera 70 is carried with the tripod 90 attached, the interchangeable lens portion attached to the camera between the tripod leg 91 and the tripod leg 91 with the interchangeable lens 80 attached to the camera facing downward. One interchangeable lens storage case 25 having a recess capable of storing the lens may be provided.

本発明によれば、三脚と嵩張る交換レンズを使用に便利な状態で一体として持ち運びでき、交換レンズの取り出しに不便な手持ちまたは背負い型の大型カメラバッグや交換レンズ専用バッグを三脚と別々に持ち運ぶ必要が無くなり、写真撮影活動に有用である。 According to the present invention, it is possible to carry a tripod and a bulky interchangeable lens as a single unit in a convenient state for use, and it is necessary to carry a handheld or shoulder-type large camera bag or interchangeable lens dedicated bag that is inconvenient for taking out the interchangeable lens separately from the tripod. This is useful for photography activities.
