Description

  The present invention relates to a strap for a camera, and more particularly to a strap used on a neck or shoulder.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are camera straps (so-called neck straps) that are used on a neck or shoulder. Such a neck strap is composed of a belt-like hanging strap that can hold the left and right ends of the camera and can be hung on the neck and shoulders, and a fastener for fastening both ends of the hanging strap. Is done. Here, as the material of the hanging strap part, it is necessary to select a material having a predetermined strength in order to maintain the weight of the camera. In particular, when holding a heavy camera such as a single-lens reflex camera, it is necessary to select a material having sufficient strength to withstand the load of the camera. For this reason, in the case of a camera strap, the suspension strap is generally made of a strong resin, leather, or tightly woven cloth, and has a narrow width. For example, in the neck strap type camera strap disclosed in Patent Document 1, the hanging strap portion is made of cloth.

  However, since the hanging strap portion is belt-like and its width is narrow, when the camera strap is hung on the neck or shoulder, the hanging strap portion may bite into the neck or shoulder and hurt the neck or shoulder.

  In addition, the camera may be carried in a bag, etc., but if it is stored in the bag as it is with the camera body exposed, it may come into contact with other luggage in the bag and be damaged. . Therefore, it is generally performed that a cover (or a case) that wraps the camera body is covered and then accommodated in a bag or the like. In the past, the camera strap and cover were separate, so it was necessary to attach and remove the cover every time it was taken, and it was necessary to have the removed cover separately during shooting. It was complicated.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and its purpose is to protect the camera from encroaching when hung on the neck or shoulder while maintaining sufficient strength to hold the camera. The purpose is to provide a camera strap that can also be used as a cover for the camera.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a camera strap (1) according to the present invention includes a hanging strap portion (10) attached to a camera (50) and hung on a neck or a shoulder, and a hanging strap portion (10). A camera strap (1) having a pair of fasteners (20) for fixing both ends, wherein the hanging strap (10) has at least a pair of opposite corners, and the pair of corners. A stall made of cloth having a shape in which the direction along a diagonal line connecting the longitudinal directions is a longitudinal direction, and a pair of corners opposed to the diagonal direction of the stall are fixed ends (11A, 11B), and the pair of fixed ends are thin. A strap is inserted into the attachment (52A, 52B) of the camera body (50) and fastened by the fastener (20), so that the hanging strap (10) is attached to the camera (50). Shi It is characterized in. In addition, it is more preferable that the hanging strap portion (10) of the camera strap (1) according to the present invention is a rectangular stall.

  According to the camera strap of the present invention, the hanging strap portion is a stall having the above shape, so that the hanging strap portion is wider than the belt-like (narrow strip-like) hanging strap portion used in a general camera strap. It becomes. Thereby, the load applied to the user's neck and shoulder from the hanging strap portion that supports the camera is dispersed, so that the load applied to the user's neck and shoulder can be effectively reduced. Therefore, it is possible to provide a camera strap that does not bite the hanging strap when hung on the neck or shoulder while maintaining a sufficient strength to hold the camera.

  In addition, according to the camera strap of the present invention, the hanging strap portion is a stole of the above shape, so that the portion between the two fixed portions in the hanging strap portion is widened, and the camera body is wrapped around that portion. The camera strap can also be used as a protective cover for the camera body. Therefore, since the camera strap and the protective cover are integrated, it is possible to shoot by simply unwrapping the camera with the camera strap when shooting, and use the camera strap after shooting. It can be stored in a bag or the like just by wrapping the camera. As a result, the camera can be handled very easily, and the convenience of shooting is greatly improved.

  Furthermore, according to the camera strap of the present invention, the camera strap can function as an original stall because the hanging strap portion is a stall. This makes it possible to give a high fashionability, especially when used by women, since a stall is worn when the camera is suspended from the neck or shoulder. Further, by suspending the hanging strap part to a certain extent and hanging on the neck and shoulder, sunburn of the neck and shoulder can be prevented in the summer, and the effects of cold protection and wind protection on the neck and shoulder can be achieved in the winter. By these, the fashionability and functionality of the camera strap can be improved.

  In addition, the code | symbol in said parenthesis has shown the code | symbol of the corresponding component of embodiment mentioned later as an example of this invention.

  According to the camera strap of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the belt from biting into the neck when hung on the neck or shoulder while maintaining sufficient strength to hold the camera, and to protect the camera. Can also be used as a cover. Furthermore, fashion and functionality as a stall can be imparted to the camera strap.

It is a figure which shows the fastener of a strap for cameras. It is a figure for demonstrating the procedure which inserts and attaches the fixed end (fixed part) of a hanging strap part to the fixture of a camera. It is a figure which shows the other structural example of a hanging string part. It is a figure which shows the other structural example of a hanging string part. It is a figure which shows the other structural example of a hanging string part.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall view of a camera strap 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the hanging strap portion 10 of the camera strap 1 is widened. FIG. 3 is a view showing the fastener 20 of the camera strap 1. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a procedure for inserting and attaching the fixed ends (fixed portions) 11A and 11B of the hanging strap portion 10 of the camera strap 1 to the fixtures 51A and 51B (52A and 52B) of the camera body 50. It is.

  A camera strap 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a hanging strap portion 10 formed of a thin cloth stall, and a pair of fasteners 20 for fixing the pair of fixed ends 11A and 11B of the hanging strap portion 10, respectively. Have. The hanging strap 10 is inserted and attached to annular members (ring members) 52A and 52B attached to the fixtures 51A and 51B formed on the left and right sides of the camera body 50. Further, a protective member (ring member cover) 53A (see FIG. 4) is attached so as to cover the annular members 52A and 52B. The protection member 53A is a member that prevents the annular members 52A and 52B from directly contacting the camera body 50 and protects the camera body 50 from scratches. The protective member 53A is usually an accessory part of the camera body 50. However, the protective member 53A is not necessarily provided because it is not an essential part for the camera strap of the present invention. Therefore, the illustration of the protective member 53A is omitted in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the hanging strap portion 10 is a garment stall that is spread and applied to the neck and shoulders. Moreover, it is preferable that the size of the hanging strap portion 10 is such a size that the camera body 50 comes from the chest of the user to the abdomen when the central portion of the hanging strap portion 10 is hung on the neck. For this reason, for example, for women and men, although the specific size varies depending on the concept of the product, the length LD of the rectangular diagonal line in a state where the hanging strap portion 10 is expanded is configured to be 100 to 200 cm. Is more preferable, and 120 cm to 180 cm is more preferable. Moreover, the width W and the height H of the hanging strap part 10 are preferably about 40 to 100 cm and 70 to 170 cm, respectively, which are general stall sizes.

  Moreover, the material of the stall which comprises the hanging strap part 10 uses the material which can ensure intensity | strength lightweight, such as silk and chiffon. Here, since the suspension string part 10 requires strength, it is more preferable that a synthetic fiber such as polyester is mixed, and a finely woven cloth is more preferable. Moreover, it is preferable to perform waterproofing processing or UV processing on the stall of the hanging strap portion 10 as necessary. The specific processing method varies depending on the product concept. For example, since the silk material has a property of absorbing ultraviolet rays, it is not necessary to perform UV processing when the silk material hanging string portion 10 is used.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the fastener 20 has two holes (a first insertion hole 21 and a second insertion hole 22) to pass through the fixed ends 11 </ b> A and 11 </ b> B of the hanging strap portion 10 and the vicinity thereof multiple times. Is done. The material of the fastener 20 includes metal, resin, leather, hard cloth, etc., and is not particularly specified.

  Hereinafter, although the structure of the one fixed end 11A side in the hanging strap part 10 is demonstrated, the fixed end 11B side is also the same structure. As shown suitably in FIG. 4, in the camera strap 1, the fixed end 11 </ b> A of the hanging strap 10 is inserted through the annular member 52 </ b> A of the fixture 51 </ b> A provided on the left and right sides of the camera body 50. Then, it is attached to the camera body 50. Although not shown in the drawings, if the hole is directly formed in the fixture 51A of the camera body 50 and the hole is large, it is not always necessary to attach the hanging strap portion 10 through the annular member 52A. Alternatively, the hanging strap portion 10 may be attached to the camera body 50 by directly passing the fixed end 11A of the hanging strap portion 10 through a hole formed in the fixture 51A.

  Next, a procedure for inserting and attaching the fixed ends 11A and 11B of the hanging strap portion 10 to the annular members 52A and 52B of the camera body 50 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the procedure for attaching the fixed end 11B is the same as the procedure for attaching the fixed end 11A, and is therefore omitted.

  When attaching the hanging strap 10 to the camera body 50, first, the fixed end 11 </ b> A of the hanging strap 10 is passed through the first insertion hole 21 and the second insertion hole 22 of the fastener 20 in this order. Next, in a state where the fixed end 11 </ b> A of the hanging strap portion 10 is in the form of a narrow band (in a depressed state), the strap is passed through an annular member 52 </ b> A attached to the fixture 51 </ b> A of the camera body 50. Thereafter, when the fixed end 11A is passed through the second insertion hole 22 and the first insertion hole 21 in the fastener 20 in this order, the fixed end 11A side of the hanging strap portion 10 is fixed by the friction of the stall material of the hanging strap portion 10. . Similarly to the above, the fixed end 11B side of the hanging strap portion 10 is also fixed.

  In addition, the way of passing the hanging strap portion 10 with respect to the fastener 20 described above is an example, and other ways of passing are possible. For example, the direction in which the hanging strap portion 10 is passed with respect to the fastener 20 (the direction with respect to the front and back of the fastener 20) can be passed in the opposite direction to the direction shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the camera strap 1 of the present embodiment, since the hanging strap portion 10 is made of a stall material, it is wider than a belt-like member used in a general camera strap. Thereby, the load applied to the neck and shoulder of the user can be reduced by dispersing the load applied from the hanging strap portion 10 that supports the camera body 50. Moreover, the length adjustment of the hanging strap part 10 is easy by setting it as the structure which fixes the fixed ends 11A and 11B of the hanging strap part 10 through the fastener 20 in which two insertion holes are formed.

  Moreover, the following effects are acquired by making the hanging strap part 10 into a stall. That is, since the camera body 50 is wide and has a large surface area, the camera body 50 can be wrapped with the hanging strap part 10, and when the camera body 50 is subjected to a slight impact, the impact can be reduced. It can be protected to some extent from impact. Further, when the camera strap 1 is hung on the neck, the hanging strap portion 10 blocks the ultraviolet rays to the neck, and the hanging strap portion 10 can be protected from sunburn. Moreover, by making the hanging strap part 10 into a stall, it becomes a measure against cold during cold weather or when cooling is effective. In addition, due to the high design of the stall, the hanging strap portion 10 can be provided with a high design.

  Note that the camera strap 1 of the present embodiment is suitable for use as a strap of the camera body 50 that is relatively heavy like a single-lens reflex camera, but besides that, like a compact digital camera. It may be used as a relatively lightweight camera strap. Since the suspension strap portion 10 of the camera strap 1 of the present embodiment has sufficient strength as a belt as will be described later, it can be used for any type of camera.

  Further, the annular members 52A and 52B of the camera body 50 to which the camera strap 1 of the present embodiment is attached may be not only a circular ring but also a triangular ring. In this case, it is preferable that the shape of the state in which the protective member 53A is attached to the fixtures 51A and 51B is also made triangular according to the annular members 52A and 52B.

  In addition, two fixed ends (fixed portions) 11 </ b> A and 11 </ b> B that are fixed to the camera body 50 among the ends (four corners) facing the diagonal direction of the hanging strap portion 10 are not fixed to the camera body 50. It is more preferable to increase the strength compared to the non-fixed ends 12A and 12B. Specifically, the weaving of the fabric of the fixed ends 11A and 11B is made finer than the non-fixed end 12, or the reinforcing members 15A and 15B made of cloth or the like having a higher strength than the material of the stall as shown in FIG. May be attached only to the fixed ends 11A and 11B. However, in the case where sufficient strength of the fixed ends 11A and 11B is ensured only by the stall, the configuration and the device for reinforcing the fixed ends 11A and 11B are not necessarily applied.

  Although the shape of the hanging strap portion 10 of the present embodiment has been described as an example of a rectangular shape, it is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, only the fixed ends (fixed portions) 11A and 11B are configured with corners, and the non-fixed portions 13A and 13B formed between the two fixed ends (fixed portions) have no corners. It is good also as a structure. That is, the shape of the stall used for the hanging strap portion of the camera strap according to the present invention has at least a pair of opposite corner portions, and a shape having a longitudinal direction along a line connecting the pair of corner portions. It only has to have.

  Moreover, in the above description, when reinforcing the fixed ends (fixed portions) 11A and 11B in the hanging strap portion 10 of the present embodiment, a configuration in which the reinforcing members 15A and 15B, which are members different from the cloth of the stall itself, are reinforced is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the fixed ends (fixed portions) 11 </ b> A and 11 </ b> B may be folded back to form the fixed ends (fixed portions) 11 </ b> C and 11 </ b> D as reinforcing cloths. In this case, the folded portions are sewn or pasted together. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, even if it is a rectangular stall as shown in FIG. 2, it is also possible to employ | adopt the structure which reinforces by fixing the fixed ends 11A and 11B appropriately.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and is within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims of the utility model registration and the specification and drawings. Various modifications are possible.
