Since the camera platform 40 and the tripod section 30 are the same as a conventional camera tripod, detailed description is omitted. The holding mechanism 10, the camera platform 40, and the tripod 30 may be detachable by a connection method other than screws, or may be integrally formed so as not to be detachable. Further, by detaching the holding member 11 from the camera platform 40 and inserting a male screw portion of the camera platform 40 into a screw hole provided at a lower portion of a digital camera or the like, a digital camera or video camera can be used as a normal camera tripod. Needless to say, it can also be used by attaching it to a computer.

  Hereinafter, the holding mechanism 10 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Projections 18 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the base 12. The projection 18 has a projection in the longitudinal direction, and the projection is inserted into the spring 15 to support the spring 15. Guide grooves 24 are provided on the bottom of the base 12 and on the inside of the spring housing 21 provided on the bottom 11A of the holding member 11 so as to guide the spring 15 in a predetermined direction when the spring 15 expands and contracts. It is.

  The holding member 11 is mounted on the base 12 so that the spring 15 is stored in the spring storage section 21. Thus, the holding member 11 slides on the base by the bias of the spring 15. That is, when the upright portion 11B of the sandwiching member 11 is pulled in the longitudinal direction, the bottom surface portion 11A slides on the base 12, and as shown in FIG. This compresses the spring 15 in the direction of the projection 18. The holding member 11 holds the mobile phone by the restoring force of the spring 15. The spring 15 may be any elastic member, and may be made of rubber or the like. The holding members 11 are provided one by one on both sides of the base 12 so as to form a pair, and it is desirable that both of the pair of holding members 11 slide by the bias of the spring 15. Only one of them may be slid.

It has an L-shaped locking portion 23. The L-shaped locking portion 23 has a configuration in which an upper portion of the side surface of the base 12 projects inward. Thus, when the holding member 11 slides on the bottom of the base 12 in the longitudinal direction of the base 12, the holding member 11 is vertically locked by the L-shaped locking portion 23, and the holding member 11 Can slide without coming off the base by the force of the spring.

  A notch 22 is provided at a corner of the upper surface of the bottom surface 11A of the holding member 11 so as to come into contact with the L-shaped engaging portion 23 of the base 12 and slide.

  A cushion member 16 is provided on a contact surface of the holding member 11 with the mobile phone. A sponge or the like is preferably used for the cushion material 16, but any non-slip material can be used as long as it can support the mobile phone without damaging it and can keep the mobile phone from falling.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a view when the mobile phone with a camera function is installed on the tripod for the mobile phone with a camera function according to the present invention.

  First, a male screw portion (not shown) of the camera platform 40 is inserted and fitted into the screw hole 14 of the holding mechanism 10, and the holding mechanism 10 and the tripod 30 are connected. Next, the support leg 31 is extended to a predetermined height and stabilized. Thereafter, the holding member 11 is stretched in the longitudinal direction, and the holding width is increased while sliding on the base 12. Then, the mobile phone with a camera function is pinched in a predetermined direction. At this time, it is preferable to hold the mobile phone by avoiding the operation button so that the contact surface between the holding member 11 and the mobile phone does not press the operation button on the side surface of the mobile phone. When it is desired to change the angle of the mobile phone, the camera platform 40 is rotated to set a desired angle. Since the camera platform 40 is freely rotatable, it can correspond to any camera position and camera direction of the mobile phone. For example, when the user wants to hold and hold the mobile phone sideways and take a picture, the camera platform may be rotated to arrange the holding mechanism so that the longitudinal direction is vertical, and then hold the mobile phone.

  The camera platform 40 can rotate without rotating the camera platform adjusting lever 32 when rotating the rotating member 42. However, when the rotating member 42 is rigid and cannot rotate freely, The adjustment of the hardness related to the rotation can be performed by the pan head adjustment lever 32. In order to take a photograph, the photographing is performed by a predetermined method according to the operation method of the mobile phone with a camera function.

  As another embodiment of the present invention, the upright portion 11B of the holding member 11 is divided into two members, or two protrusions are provided on the upright portion 11B, and the contact surface of the holding member 11 with the mobile phone is changed. There is a tripod for a mobile phone with a camera function, which is provided at two places. Since the operation button portion on the side surface of the mobile phone is often present on the contact surface of the holding member 11 with the mobile phone, it may cause a malfunction. Therefore, by providing the contact surface with the mobile phone at two locations, the mobile phone is pinched so as to straddle the operation button portion, and the mobile phone can be stably pinched. According to this embodiment, since the mobile phone can be pinched while avoiding the operation button section, there is no fear of erroneous operation such as erasing a memory such as a telephone number in the mobile phone by mistake. Furthermore, since there is no fear of malfunction, the center of gravity of the mobile phone can be held, so that the tripod can be kept more stable, and the danger of falling down can be reduced.
