BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a monitor hood for covering the front of a screen of a television monitor and suppressing light incident on the screen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Commercial television cameras are provided with a television monitor for monitoring photographed images on the photographer's side. However, in the case of a portable television camera which is frequently used for indoor lighting and outdoor photography, the sun's rays are projected on the screen. It is hard to see the screen when incident on. In order to prevent such light from entering the screen, a monitor hood that covers the front periphery of the screen is mounted.

[0003] Various conventional monitor hoods have been proposed. For example, there is a monitor hood in which a front opening of a monitor hood is detachably fitted with a light-shielding plate having a screen monitoring window. No. 58-85857). There is also a monitor hood that has a bellows shape and is used by expanding and contracting in the front-rear direction as necessary.

No.).

[0004]

However, in such a conventional monitor hood, for example, in the former case, the operation knob portion of the television monitor is always surrounded by the inside of the hood. The operation is difficult and it is difficult to monitor while operating. In the latter case, only the screen is covered with a hood. However, it is necessary to form a locking portion for the monitor on the monitor side, and the versatility is poor.

[0005] Further, none of them can be mounted on monitors having different screen sizes. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional monitor hood, and allows the user to monitor the screen while operating the monitor, easily switch the aperture according to the situation, and easily attach the monitor to the monitor. It can support monitors with slightly different screen sizes,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a monitor hood that has a structure that can be compactly stored by being folded flat.

[0006]

For this reason, the monitor hood according to the present invention is mounted on the end of the peripheral wall of the television monitor, is formed entirely of a flexible material, and projects forward of the screen in connection with the mounting portion. A body portion surrounding the upper side and both sides, a fastening band portion for freely connecting the lower ends of both sides of the body portion to be detachably connected to each other to flexibly fasten the both sides, and a body portion connected to the upper wall end of the body portion The front opening of the main body can be freely opened and closed, and the screen monitoring window is opened at the top, and the lower end is folded inside the main body and is freely fixed to the inner wall of the main body, so that the operation part of the TV monitor can be opened , And each of the bent portions is freely foldable, and has a shape that can be folded in a plane as a whole.

[0007]

The television monitor is mounted on the television monitor by surrounding the peripheral end of the television monitor at the end of the main body and fastening the television monitor with a fastening band. When monitoring an image in an environment where the light incident direction is relatively limited, such as indoors, the door is removed and only the main body is used to monitor the screen from the front opening. In this case, the operation unit of the monitor is also open, so that the user can operate while monitoring the screen.

Further, when monitoring an image in an environment such as outdoors where strong light rays are incident from all directions due to irregular reflection,
The door part is connected to the main body part and monitored through the screen monitoring window. In this case, if it is desired to perform the operation at the same time, the operation portion may be opened by folding the lower end of the door portion inside the main body portion and fixing both side portions to the inner wall of the main body portion.

When not in use, the bent portions of the main body portion and the door portion are folded so that they can be held flat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the monitor hood 1 according to one embodiment is attached to a television monitor M, and is entirely formed of a flexible material in which, for example, a plurality of pieces of a sheet material is sealed with a resin fiber cover or the like. The detachable mounting portion 2 can be easily attached and detached via a detachable tape T (the same applies hereinafter) which can be easily pulled and removed by simply pressing against the upper wall and both side walls of the peripheral wall portion of the monitor M. A main body portion 3 which is continuously connected and protrudes forward of the screen of the monitor M, and a fastening band portion 4 which freely connects and detachably connects the lower ends of both sides of the main body portion 3 via a detachable tape T to flexibly fasten the both sides; A door portion 5 is connected to the end of the upper wall of the main body portion 3 via a detachable tape T so as to freely open and close the front opening of the main body portion 3. The detachable tape T is attached by pressing tapes adhered to both surfaces to be detached. Therefore, in the above example, for example, the mounting part 2 and the monitor M
One side of the tape is fixed to the mounting part with the side.
The same applies to all other detachable tapes T.

The detailed shape of each part will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The mounting part 2 is connected to the main body member 3 so that the upper part 21 and both side parts 22 and 23 are separated from each other so as to be freely bent. ing. Thereby, when each part is connected to the monitor M, it can be firmly fixed to the monitor M without giving a mutual reaction force due to deformation. When the main body 3 is mounted on the monitor M with the upper part 21 and both side parts 22 and 23 turned outward, the main body 3 is mounted on the monitor M.
22 and 23 are attached and fixed to the detachable tape T on the monitor M side.

The main body 3 has an upper wall portion 31 and both side wall portions 32 and 33 protruding forward of the screen, and the upper portion is formed to have a larger protrusion amount than the lower portion. The fastening band portion 4
One end of a separate band-shaped member is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side wall 33 of the main body portion 3, and the other end 41 is attached to the outer surface of the lower end of the other side wall 33 of the main body portion 3 via a detachable tape T. It is attached freely. Then, after the mounting portion 2 of the monitor hood 1 is mounted on the peripheral wall end of the monitor M via the detachable tape T, the other end of the fastening band portion 4 is pulled with an appropriate force, and The main body portion 4 is fixedly fastened to the outer surface of the other side wall.
As described above, even if the monitor M has a slightly different outer size due to a difference in the screen size, the flexible fastening method can be used.

The door portion 5 has an upper end formed to be freely bent.
Detachable pieces 53, 54, 55, 56 projecting to both sides from the lower part 51 and the lower part 52 are formed to be freely bent, and the outer surface of the upper wall 31 and the outer surfaces of both side walls 32, 33 via the detachable tape T respectively. It is formed to be freely detachable. Also, the upper end portion 51 and the lower portion 52
A screen monitoring window 58 is opened in an upper part 57 between the upper and lower parts, and a lower part 52 is formed so as to be freely bent between the detachable pieces 53 and 54 and between the detachable pieces 55 and 56, and this bent part is folded inside the main body part. At the same time, the detachable pieces 54 and 56 are bent outwardly in the opposite direction to be detachable on the inner wall of the main body 3 via the detachable tape T (see FIG. 4). Further, the upper end portion 51 and the upper portion 57 of the door portion 5 are folded downward to be detachably formed on the front surface of the lower portion 52 via a detachable tape T (see FIG. 5).
.

Next, each usage pattern will be described. In the first usage mode shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, only the screen monitoring window 58 is opened in front of the screen of the monitor M, and the screen is monitored by looking through the screen monitoring window 58. This mode is used in an environment where scattered light from all directions is the most severe. However, in this mode, the operation of the television monitor M cannot be performed.

In the second mode of use shown in FIG.
The lower part 52 of the TV monitor M is drawn into the inside of the main body part 3 to open the operation unit of the television monitor M, and the monitor can be performed while operating. In this case as well, the lower part of the screen is shielded from light by the lower part 52, so that the light shielding function is the same as that of the first usage mode. In the mode of use shown in FIG.
Since the upper portion 57 is folded downward, the portion corresponding to the upper portion 57 is fully opened. The light blocking state becomes gentler as compared with the first use mode due to the increase in the open area, but usually, the screen can be monitored without any special peeping due to the increase in the open area without any problem, which facilitates the monitoring. . Further, although not shown, the second use mode can be used without any trouble in this use mode, and the screen can be operated while the upper part is fully open.

Further, when the direction of illumination is relatively fixed indoors or the like, if the door portion 5 is detached from the main body portion 3 and only the main body portion 3 is mounted, the front of the main body portion 3 is fully open, and You can easily monitor. In this case, since the operation unit is opened from the beginning, it is needless to say that the operation can be performed while monitoring the screen. Further, the upper portion 57 and the lower portion 52 can be used by being placed on the upper wall portion 31 of the main body portion 3 while only the upper end portion 51 of the door portion 5 is connected to the main body portion 3. In the case where the light environment changes gradually, the door portion 5 does not need to be removed, and it is advantageous because no place is taken.

As described above, each usage mode can be properly used according to the change of the light environment, and the screen can be monitored while operating the screen. When the monitor hood 1 is not used, by folding each bent portion in a predetermined manner, it is possible to hold the monitor hood 1 compactly as shown in FIG.

[0018]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention,
The aperture area can be changed in three or more ways according to the change of the light environment, the operation can be performed while monitoring, and the flexible fastening method to the monitor can cope with a slight difference in the monitor outer shape. It has various features, such as being able to be folded and stored compactly in a plane.
