Description

  The present invention relates to a camera case that can support an arm having a camera when shooting with the camera.

  Cameras such as video cameras need to keep the camera close to the photographer's face when shooting. In this case, it is usually necessary to keep the armpit slightly open. Therefore, fatigue has accumulated on the arms and shoulders, making it difficult to shoot for a long time. In addition, this fatigue causes camera shake, making it difficult to capture a beautiful image. This is particularly noticeable in video cameras that shoot for a long time.

  In order to solve such problems, there is a camera shake prevention device that holds the wrist, the lower arm, the elbow, and the upper arm and can keep the relative positions thereof constant (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, there is a hand shake prevention tool in which a hook portion for hooking a person's neck or shoulder on a loop-shaped band and an elbow receiving portion for supporting a human elbow are formed (for example, see Patent Document 2).

JP 2001-343701 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-14418

  However, the anti-shake device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is configured using a bar or plate-like member such as metal or plastic to fix the arm or elbow, and is generally used to prevent camera shake. Like a monopod or tripod, it is a large-scale device and unsuitable for carrying. Further, it is considered that the camera shake prevention device itself is relatively heavy, and wearing this device may cause fatigue on the entire arm.

  On the other hand, although the anti-shake device shown in Patent Document 2 is a simple instrument, it is hooked only on the neck and shoulder, so the weight of the camera is all on one point on the neck and shoulder that supports the arm. concentrate. That is, a burden is applied only to the neck and shoulder, which is not suitable for long-time shooting.

  By the way, conventionally, a camera case that accommodates a camera is used when a camera is carried with the housing having an opening that matches the shape of the camera as a main body. However, when taking a picture with the camera, the camera case is not necessary because the camera is taken out from the container and used. That is, the camera case was an obstacle during shooting.

  Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention uses a camera case at the time of shooting to support the arm holding the camera not only at the neck and shoulders but at multiple points, thereby distributing the weight of the camera at the time of shooting. An object of the present invention is to provide a camera case that can reduce the burden on the arm, neck and shoulders of the camera.

  The camera case of the present invention is a camera case for housing a camera, having an opening that can be opened and closed on the upper surface, a shock absorber provided on the entire inner surface, and both end portions on the outer side surface of the container. A first belt that is detachably provided and is adjustable so that the container can be placed at a side or between an elbow and an abdomen at least when captured by the camera by being hooked on a neck or shoulder The first belt-like body is provided with a second belt-like body having both ends detachably attached thereto, and is detachably provided near the center of the second belt-like body, so that both ends are connected to be wound around a hand or an arm. And a wrapping band to be attached to.

  According to the camera case of the present invention, the length of the first belt-like body is set to such a length that the container is disposed between the side or between the elbow and the abdomen, so that the container is The arm is supported between the elbow and the abdomen. Then, a second belt is provided by providing a winding band wound around an arm or hand in the vicinity of the center of the second belt, and by providing both ends of the second belt at an equal position from the approximate center of the first belt. A hand or arm is supported through the body by a neck or a shoulder on which the first belt is hooked.

  In other words, the camera case according to the present invention can support the arm that takes the weight of the camera at two points by using a camera housing that is not required at the time of shooting. In addition, the burden on the neck or shoulder can be distributed. Therefore, even when photographing for a long time, fatigue to the hands and arms can be reduced, and camera shake due to fatigue can be prevented.

  In addition, the camera case of the present invention accommodates the second belt-like body and the wrapping belt-like body in the camera case when the camera is accommodated, and the camera body is accommodated by hooking the first belt-like body on the neck or shoulder. Unlike a large-scale device, it is portable and can be carried around.

  Hereinafter, the camera case of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following description, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. In the present invention, the state in which the camera is housed in the container, that is, the state in which the camera is not shooting is the time when the camera is housed. In the present invention, a state in which the user holds the camera, bends his elbow, and brings the camera's viewfinder close to his / her face is taken during camera shooting.

The shock absorbing member 52 is also provided on the bottom surface 55. As the impact absorbing member 52, an elastic and relatively hard material is applied, or for example, urethane resin, natural or synthetic rubber, or the like can be used.

  By making the shock absorbing member 52 elastic and relatively hard, the side surfaces 56, 57, 58, 59 and the bottom surface 55 on which the shock absorbing member 52 is provided are not easily deformed. Therefore, the side surfaces 56, 57, 58, 59 are less likely to be deformed on the bottom surface 55 side than on the opening 50 side by the shock absorbing member 52. As a result, the container 5 is tapered from the bottom surface 55 toward the opening 50. The container 5 is provided by the first belt-like body 1 so that the opening 50 is in contact with the side or in the direction of the side, so that the container 5 has a shape between the side or between the elbow and the abdomen. The shape will be matched. That is, since the arm can be supported by the entire side surface of the container 5 in contact with the arm, the camera case is sandwiched between the armpits or between the elbow and the abdomen at the time of shooting, so that even when shooting for a long time, The burden is not applied, and the burden is not applied only to the neck or shoulder to which the first belt state is applied. Further, since the shock absorbing member 52 is hard, the shape of the container 5 can be maintained to some extent. Furthermore, the camera can be protected when the camera is accommodated.

  The container 5 is provided with a substantially rectangular lid 51. The lid 51 has a size that can close the opening 50, and one side of the lid 51 is connected to the side surface 58.

In addition, a third annular member 33 is provided at approximately the center in the longitudinal direction of the winding band 3.

  The third annular member 33 is the same as the first annular member 53, and is an annular member that is difficult to deform, for example, formed of metal or resin. The third annular member 33 is provided at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the winding band 3 with a belt-like cloth or the like.

  The winding band 3 is wound around the hand or arm so that the third annular member 33 faces the face when the camera is held, and is fixed to the hand or arm by the surface fasteners 31 and 32. It is attached so that. Then, the third hook member 23 of the second strip 2 is hooked on the third annular member 33 at the time of camera photographing.

  The winding band 3 may be provided with a hole through which a finger passes on one end in the width direction. Thus, when the winding band 3 is attached to the hand, a finger can be passed through the hole, and the winding band 3 is not displaced, and the arm can be stably held by the second band 2. That is, the burden on the arm is reduced.

  The camera case of the present invention having such a configuration will be described separately when the camera is housed and when the camera is photographed.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the camera case in a state in which the camera is accommodated. When the camera is housed, the camera is housed in the camera case housing 5. At this time, the 2nd strip | belt-shaped body 2 and the winding belt | band | zone 3 are accommodated in the inside of the accommodating body 5 with a camera. The first band 1 is provided in the container 5 by hooking the first hook members 10 at both ends thereof to the first annular member 53 provided on the outer side surfaces 57 and 59 of the container 5. Yes. Thereby, a camera can be carried by hooking the 1st strip | belt-shaped body 1 on a neck or a shoulder.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the camera case in a state where photographing is performed by the camera. At the time of camera shooting, the camera is taken out from the housing 5 of the camera case. And the 2nd strip | belt-shaped body 2 and the winding band 3 which were accommodated with the camera in the camera case of this invention are taken out.

  The first hook member 10 that is hooked on the first annular member 53 of the outer side surfaces 57 and 59 of the camera back container 5 is removed from before the camera photographing, and is hooked on the second annular member 54. That is, the 1st strip | belt-shaped body 1 with which the side surface of the container 5 was equipped is replaced.

  Then, the replaced first belt 1 is hooked on the neck or shoulder. At this time, the length of the 1st strip | belt-shaped body 1 is adjusted using the buckle 19 so that the storage body 5 may be arrange | positioned between an armpit or an elbow and an abdomen. Thereby, the storage body 5 can be inserted | pinched between an armpit or an elbow and an abdomen by hooking the 1st strip | belt-shaped body 1 on a neck or a shoulder.

  The hook members 18 of the first strip 1 are hooked with the second hook members 20 provided at both ends of the second strip 2. Thereby, the 2nd strip | belt-shaped body 2 can be provided in the 1st strip | belt-shaped body 1. FIG.

  The wrapping band 3 is wound around the hand or wrist and is attached to the hand or arm by the hook and loop fasteners 31 and 32 provided at both ends. At this time, the wrapping band 3 is wound around the hand or arm so that the third annular member 33 provided in the wrapping band 3 is positioned so as to face the face when the camera is photographed.

  After the winding band 3 is attached to the hand or wrist, the third hook member 23 located near the center in the longitudinal direction of the second band 2 provided on the first band 1 is attached to the third annular member 33 of the winding band 3. Hook.

  By holding the camera in this state, the camera is placed in front of the face and can hold the camera. At this time, the arm holding the camera has a neck or shoulder on which the first band 1 is hooked, and a side or elbow via the winding band 3 and the second band 2 wound around the hand or the arm. And the storage body 5 disposed between the abdomen and the abdomen. Therefore, since the weight of the camera on the arm is distributed to the neck or shoulder and the side or abdomen, the burden on the arm, neck or shoulder is reduced.

  Further, at the time of photographing with the camera, the second band 2 includes a third hook member 23 that is hooked on the third annular member 33 of the winding band 3 and two second hook members that are hooked on the hook member 18 of the first band 1. 20 is supported. That is, by setting the second belt-like body 2 in a stretched state, the position of the camera is fixed and camera shake is suppressed. Therefore, it is not necessary to make an effort to fix the arm by taking care of hand shake by performing camera shooting with the second band 2 stretched using the weight of the camera. In other words, the arm is not burdened even when shooting for a long time. Therefore, camera shake can be further suppressed.

  The first band member 1 is hooked on the second annular member 54 in the vicinity of the center of the outer side surfaces 57 and 59 of the container 5, so that the first band 1 is connected to the outer side surface 57 of the container 5. , 59 are provided on the side surfaces. As a result, even if the camera or arm weight is applied to the storage body 5, the first belt-like body is unlikely to be detached from the storage body 5, and the arm can be supported stably. Therefore, it is difficult to place a burden on the arm even when shooting for a long time.

  As described above, the camera case of the present invention uses the housing 5 for housing the camera in order to support the arm holding the camera at a plurality of points during camera shooting. Therefore, the camera case that was not necessary at the time of conventional camera photography does not get in the way, and the weight of the camera can be distributed. As a result, the burden and fatigue on the arm, neck, and shoulder are reduced, and it is possible to withstand long-time shooting. Moreover, not only the hand shake caused by supporting the arm with the first belt 1, the second belt 2, the wrapping band 3, and the container 5, but the burden and fatigue can be reduced, so that the hand shake can be prevented more clearly. You can shoot a good image.

  Further, when the camera is housed, the second belt 2 and the wrapping belt 3 can be housed in the housing 5 unlike a tripod, a monopod, or other large-scale devices. The second band 2 and the wrapping band 3 can be carried with the camera as a normal camera case.

  Although the camera case having the lid 51 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and a fastener is provided so as to close the opening 50 instead of the lid. It may be done. In this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Here, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the camera case described here includes a fastener 61 that closes the opening 50 instead of the lid 51 of the camera case described above. A waistband 4 that wraps around the waist and a storage 45 that stores the waistband 4 are provided. Since other members are the same as those of the camera case described above, description thereof is omitted.

  The waistband 4 is a belt-like member made of cloth or leather, for example, provided with a buckle 49 for adjusting the length, and has a trifurcated locking portion 40 at one end in the longitudinal direction and the other end in the longitudinal direction. Is provided with a latch receiving portion 41 that engages with the latch portion 40. The locking part 40 and the locking receiving part 41 are members made of metal or resin, and the waistband 4 is formed into an annular shape by fitting. The vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of the waistband 4 is fixed to the outer side surface 58 of the storage body 5.

  Therefore, the camera case of the present invention can be mounted on the waist by winding the waist band 4 around the waist and fitting the locking portions 40 and the locking receivers 41 at both ends of the waist band 4. The length of the waistband 4 can be adjusted, and is not particularly limited. However, at least when the camera is housed, the waistband 4 is wound around the waist to engage the locking portion 40 and the locking receiving portion 41. It is only necessary to have a length that can be used.

  In addition, a storage portion 45 is provided on the outer side surface 58 of the storage body 5 so as to cover a portion where the waistband 4 is provided. As shown in FIG. 5, the storage portion 45 includes a covering member 450 and an attachment member 451. The covering member 450 is a rectangular member made of cloth or leather having a predetermined size so as to cover the outer side surface 58 of the container 5, and its bottom side 450 a is on the bottom surface 55 side of the outer side surface 58 of the container 5. It is fixed to. The covering member 450 may include the above-described shock absorbing member inside.

  The attachment member 451 is a member such as a button or a hook-and-loop fastener that can detachably attach the upper side 450b of the covering member 450 to the vicinity of the opening 50 on the outer side surface 58 of the container 5. By attaching the upper side 450b of the covering member 450 to the outer side surface 58 of the container 5 with the mounting member 451, a gap is formed between the covering member 450 and the outer side surface 58 of the container 5. In the camera case of the present invention, the waistband 4 can be folded and stored in the gap.

  In such a camera case, when the camera is housed, the waistband 4 is taken out from the housing portion 45, wound around the waist, and the locking portion 40 and the locking receiving portion 41 are fitted to each other, so that the camera is attached to the housing body 5. The stored camera case can be attached to the waist. At this time, the 1st strip | belt-shaped body 1, the 2nd strip | belt-shaped body 2, and the winding belt | band | zone 4 are accommodated in the accommodating body 5 with a camera, and are carried by the camera case.

  Moreover, at the time of camera photography, the burden on the arm, neck, or shoulder is reduced by taking out the first band 1, the second band 2, and the wrapping band 4 from the container 5 and mounting them as described above. It is possible to withstand long-time shooting. Further, not only hand shake caused by supporting the arm with the first belt 1, the second belt 2, the wrapping band 3, and the container 5, but also reduction in burden and fatigue can prevent camera shake and make it clearer. You can shoot a good image. Further, since the waistband 4 can be stored in the storage portion 45, the waistband 4 does not get in the way during camera photography. That is, an extra burden is not incurred during camera shooting, and long-time camera shooting can be performed.

  The configuration of the storage unit 45 described above is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a fastener may be provided on the outer side surface 58 of the covering member 450 and the container 5, and the waist band 4 may be housed therein.

  As described above, the camera case of the present invention can disperse the burden on the arm by supporting the arm at a plurality of points. Therefore, even when shooting for a long time, the burden on the arm is reduced, and fatigue is less likely to accumulate. As a result, camera shake due to fatigue can be further prevented.
