Description

  The present invention relates to a support device that can support not only a camera but also a portable terminal having a camera function in order to photograph a photographer.

  Conventionally, when shooting a photographer himself in camera shooting, the camera can be fixed on a tripod and a self-timer can be used. This was a case where the photographer carried a tripod in advance by taking a picture of himself / herself, and it was difficult to shoot without it.

  So, if you want to take a picture of yourself in a situation where you don't carry a tripod, you should take a so-called "self-portrait" where the photographer himself extends his arm holding the camera and points the lens part at the photographer himself. May be possible. In particular, with the widespread use of mobile terminals with a camera function, an environment where the user can easily take pictures has been prepared. Therefore, it is almost impossible to photograph yourself until you carry a heavy tripod unless you are a camera hobbyist. Further, even when a tripod is carried, the place where the camera is installed is not stable in a soft place such as a sandy beach and may fall down.

  As described above, with the spread of mobile devices with camera functions, especially smartphones, so-called “self-photographing” opportunities are increasing, but the area that the camera shoots depends on the length of the arm, so shooting as you wish There is a situation that cannot be done.

  In particular, the camera built into the smartphone does not have a wide-angle function, so if the distance from the camera to the subject is short, the photographer may not be able to fit within the shooting area. . In particular, in the case of so-called self-shooting with a plurality of people, there is a problem that not all of them can fit in it. In this case, it is possible to request photography to a third party, but there is a risk that the portable terminal may be taken away as it is, which is not realistic. Especially for smartphones, the risk cannot be completely eliminated.

  Therefore, a device described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-112241 has been disclosed as a camera support device that solves the above problem. This means that if you attach a camera to one end of the telescopic rod and attach a camera to the attachment, you can take a picture of yourself because you can increase the distance between the camera and the subject. It is. In addition, it can be used not only for the photographer but also for a plurality of people including the photographer.

  However, in the above-described device, there is a problem that a part of the camera support device is reflected in a photograph and lacks hobby. Moreover, since it is a support apparatus only for a camera and is not produced for a portable terminal with a camera function, particularly for a smartphone, there is a problem that a portable terminal such as a smartphone cannot be attached as it is.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No.59-112241

  An object of the present invention is to provide a support device in which a part of a support device attached to a camera is not reflected in a photograph in the case of so-called self-shooting. It is another object of the present invention to provide a support device that can easily and reliably attach not only a camera but also a mobile terminal to which a camera function is added, particularly a smartphone.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a support device having a holding part and a support part, the support part having a rotating part, a telescopic part and a bellows part capable of rotating the position of the camera, By bending the bellows portion, means for freely changing the angle of a camera attached to the holding portion or a mobile terminal with a camera function added is provided.

  By bending the bellows portion in a state where the expansion / contraction portion is extended, the camera is placed in a so-called self-portrait where the photographer himself is photographed so that a part of the support device is not reflected. You can change the angle freely. In addition, what is called a camera here is the meaning containing the portable terminal to which the function which can image | photograph besides the camera was added, especially a smart phone.

  In order to solve the above problems, the holding unit in the present invention has a portable terminal holding unit, and holds a portable terminal, particularly a smartphone, in which a small camera or a camera function is added to the mounting unit and the fixing unit in the portable terminal holding unit. It is a measure that is attached. Note that, as described above, the portable terminal holding unit is not intended to exclude attaching a camera, of course, to attach a portable terminal, particularly a smartphone.

  The holding unit includes a portable terminal holding unit, the portable terminal holding unit includes a mounting unit and a fixing unit, and includes a communication unit that communicates from the mounting unit to the fixing unit. The elastic body has an elastic body, and is urged in a direction in which the fixing portion and the mounting portion approach each other, and sandwiches and attaches a small camera or a portable terminal to which a camera function is added between the mounting portion and the fixing portion. It is a measure taken.

  The fixed part biased in the direction of the mounting part is separated from the mounting part against the elastic force of the elastic body, so that not only a small camera but also a mobile terminal to which a camera function is added, particularly The smartphone can be attached and fixed by being sandwiched between the mounting portion and the fixing portion. Since the smartphone can be fixed with one touch in this way, so-called self-portrait can be easily taken.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a means is provided in which a knob portion is provided on the fixed portion in the present invention. If the knob portion is pulled against the elastic force, the fixing portion and the placement portion can be separated from each other, and the camera or the portable terminal, particularly the smartphone can be easily attached and detached.

  The support device 10 includes a support unit 20 and a holding unit 40. The support part 20 includes an expansion / contraction part 21, a bellows part 30, a connection part 31, and a rotation part 32. The telescopic part 21 is configured in a nested manner, and the base part 22 in the telescopic part 21 is cylindrical and has a cylindrical second node 23 so as to overlap with the inside. Similarly, the third joint 24, the fourth joint 25, the fifth joint 26, and the sixth joint 27 are also cylindrical, and the inner diameter gradually becomes narrower as they are located on the inner side. Further, a rubber grip portion G is disposed on the base receiving portion 22 of the telescopic portion 21 as a slip stopper. Moreover, although not shown in figure in the base receiver 22, the hole which can provide a strap can be comprised.

  The front end portion 22a of the main receiving portion 22 has a narrowed shape whose diameter slightly narrows in the inner diameter direction, and is configured to be fitted to the outer diameter of the rear end portion 23b of the second joint 23. Therefore, when pulling out the second joint 23 from the base receiving portion 22, it can be stretched without rattling while having a certain resistance. Therefore, even when the second joint 23 is not pulled out from the base receiving portion 22 to the maximum extent, that is, when the second joint 23 is being pulled out from the base receiving portion 22, there is no backlash. Further, not only in the case where the drawer is in the middle, but also in a state where the drawer is maximally pulled out, the original receiving groove portion 22c of the original receiving portion 22 and the second groove portion 23c in the second node 23 are engaged with each other, thereby rotating in the radial direction. Is blocked. When the second joint 23 is pulled out from the base receiving portion 22 to the maximum extent, the rear end portion 23b of the second joint 23 is inside the throttle-shaped front end portion 22a so that the inner diameter of the base receiving portion 22 is slightly reduced. This prevents the second joint 23 from being completely pulled out from the base receiving portion 22 (see FIG. 2).

  Similarly, the distal end portion 23a of the second joint 23 has a narrowed shape whose diameter slightly narrows in the inner diameter direction, and is configured to be fitted to the outer diameter of the rear end portion 24b of the third joint 24. . Therefore, when pulling out the third joint 24 from the second joint 23, it can be stretched without shaking while having a certain resistance. Accordingly, even when the second joint 23 is not pulled out to the maximum extent, that is, when the second joint 23 is pulled out from the third joint 24, there is no backlash. Further, not only in the case where the drawer is in the middle, but also in a state where it is pulled out to the maximum extent, the second knot portion 23c of the second knot 23 and the third knot groove portion 24c of the third knot 24 are engaged with each other in the radial direction. Rotation is prevented. When the third joint 24 is pulled out from the second joint 23 to the maximum extent, the rear end 24b of the third joint 24 is inside the throttle-shaped front end 23a in which the inner diameter of the second joint 23 slightly narrows. , The third joint 24 is prevented from being completely pulled out from the second joint 23 (see FIG. 3). Since the third section 24 and the fourth section 25, the fourth section 25 and the fifth section 26, and the fifth section 26 and the sixth section 27 are the same as described above, the description thereof is omitted. The same applies to the fourth groove portion 25c, the fifth groove portion 26c, and the sixth groove portion 27c.

  Further, the distal end portion 28 a of the seventh joint 28 also has a narrowed shape whose diameter slightly narrows in the inner diameter direction, and is configured to be fitted to the end portion 30 b of the base portion 30 a in the bellows portion 30. Therefore, when pulling out the bellows part 30 from the seventh section 28, the bellows part 30 can be stretched while having a certain resistance. Accordingly, the bellows portion 30 can be stopped midway even when the bellows portion 30 is not pulled out from the seventh clause 28 to the maximum extent, that is, when the bellows portion 30 is being pulled out from the seventh clause 28. Further, not only in the case where the drawer is in the middle, but also in a state where it is pulled out to the maximum extent, the seventh joint groove portion 28c and the base portion 30a in the seventh joint 28 are engaged with each other, thereby preventing the rotation in the radial direction. However, the base 30a and the bellows part main body 30c described later are connected so as to allow rotation in the radial direction while having a certain resistance. When the bellows portion 30 is pulled out from the seventh section 28 to the maximum extent, the end portion 30b of the base portion 30a abuts inside the throttle-shaped distal end portion 28a in which the inner diameter of the seventh section 28 slightly narrows. Thus, the bellows portion 30 is prevented from being pulled out entirely from the seventh joint 28 (see FIG. 4).

  The bellows portion 30 is a known so-called bellows tube that can be bent freely, and can maintain the bent state. In the present embodiment, the expansion / contraction part 21 has seven stages of a base receiving part 22, a second joint 23, a third joint 24, a fourth joint 25, a fifth joint 26, a sixth joint 27, and a seventh joint 28. Needless to say, the configuration is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, as described above, the original receiving groove 22c, the second knot groove 23c, the third knot groove 24c, the fourth knot groove 25c, the fifth knot groove 26c, the sixth knot groove 27c, and the seventh knot 28c. Are arranged in a row in the expansion / contraction part 21, but also on the back side of the expansion / contraction part 21, the original receiving groove part 22c, the second node groove part 23c, the third node groove part 24c, the fourth node groove part 25c, and the fifth node groove part. 26c, the sixth groove portion 27c, and the seventh groove portion 28c can be arranged in a row. That is, although two rows can be arranged, it is not limited to this.

  As described above, the bellows portion 30 is fitted with the tip portion 28a inside the seventh joint 28, but the bellows portion main body 30c is thin enough not to contact the inner diameter portion of the seventh joint 28. It is configured. The tip of the bellows part 30 is connected to the connecting part 31. The connecting portion 31 has a small diameter portion 31 a and a large diameter portion 31 b, and the small diameter portion 31 a is configured to be fitted to the inner diameter of the distal end portion 28 a of the seventh node 28. Therefore, there is no rattling when the bellows portion 30 is housed inside the seventh joint 28 with the above configuration.

  The rotating part 32 is fixed to the large diameter part 31b of the connecting part 31 by a known method. That is, in this embodiment, a core (not shown) is inserted into the large diameter portion 31b and fixed by caulking. The rotating unit 32 can rotate around the rotation axis 33 at an angle of approximately 180 degrees.

  That is, the rotating part 32 has leg parts 32a and 32b branched into two branches, and the leg parts 32a and 32b have shaft holes 32a1 and 32b1, respectively, and voids provided between the leg parts 32a and 32b. The bearing part 41a in the holding | maintenance part main body 41 of the holding | maintenance part 40 mentioned later is inserted into 32c. The bearing 41a has a bearing hole 41a1. Therefore, the bearing portion 41a is inserted into the space 32c, and the rotary shaft 33 is configured so as to pass through the bearing hole 32a1 and the bearing holes 41a1 and 32b1 in order, and is further fixed by a female screw member (not shown).

  A contact member 33a made of a synthetic resin having a wave shape is disposed on the rotating shaft 33, and the wave-shaped contact member 33a disposed around the bearing hole 41a1 of the holding portion main body 41 in the holding portion 40 described later. By engaging with the contact portion 41b, the rotation portion 32 can rotate around the rotation shaft 33 while providing a click feeling.

  The holding unit 40 includes a holding unit main body 41 and further includes a portable terminal holding unit 45 that can hold a relatively small camera. The portable terminal holding unit 45 includes a placement unit 46, a communication unit 47, and a fixing unit 48. Therefore, a relatively small camera is fixed by being sandwiched between the mounting portion 46 and the fixing portion 48. In addition to this relatively small camera, a portable terminal having a camera function, in particular, the smartphone S can be held.

  The placement unit 46 in the portable terminal holding unit 45 has a mouth shape, and the buffer body 50 is disposed on the top. From the end portion 46a of the mounting portion 46, the column portions 47a and 47a in the connecting portion 47 are arranged substantially vertically. The column portions 47a and 47a are the same, and the inside of one column portion 47a will be described, and the description of the inside of the other column portion 47a will be omitted. A coil spring X, which is an elastic body, is disposed inside the column portion 47a. The coil spring X has a natural length that is substantially the same as that of the column portion 47a. Further, an extension portion 48a integrated with the fixing portion 48 is inserted into the coil spring X, and an end portion thereof is fixed to the female screw 48b. The upper end of the coil spring X is prevented from extending in the column part 47a, and the lower end is prevented from extending by the female thread part 48b. The spring X is compressed. Accordingly, an elastic force is generated because the spring X inside the column portion 47a is restored to its natural length, and the fixing portion 48 is biased in a direction approaching the placement portion 46. Further, a knob portion 48 c is disposed on the fixed portion 48.

  Further, a screw hole 46 b is disposed on the lower surface of the mounting portion 46. In addition, a male screw portion 41c that is screwed into the screw hole 46b is disposed in the holding portion main body 41. The screw part 41c is screwed into the screw hole 46b, whereby the portable terminal holding part 45 and the holding part main body 41 can be fixed. In addition, the portable terminal holding part 45 can be rotated around the external thread part 41c, and can be fixed in the rotated state by being screwed by the external thread operation part 41d. The male screw portion 41c is a known one that can fix a relatively large camera such as a single-lens reflex camera by being screwed by a male screw operation portion 41d. That is, the holding part main body 41 has a function as a pan head.

  In order to use the support device 10 as described above, for example, in a portable terminal to which a relatively small camera or a camera function is added, particularly a smartphone S, a knob portion in the fixing portion 48 of the portable terminal holding portion 45 in the holding portion 40. 48c is pulled up, and the smartphone S or the like is inserted while widening the interval between the fixed portion 48 and the placement portion 46, and can be sandwiched between the fixation portion 48 and the placement portion 46 by the elastic force of the spring. In the case of a relatively large camera, the portable terminal holding part 45 in the holding part 40 is removed and only the holding part main body 41 is removed, and a known female screw part and male screw part 41c arranged at the bottom of the camera (not shown) are screwed. Can be fixed by joining.

  As described above, the mobile terminal to which the camera function such as the camera or the smartphone S is added is fixed to the support device 10, and the expansion / contraction part 21 in the support part 20 is extended as necessary to have an appropriate length. At this time, the rotating device 32 is rotated around the rotation axis 33 so that the lens portion of the camera is directed toward the photographer, the bellows portion 30 is bent (see FIG. 9), and the support device 10 is placed in the region to be imaged by the camera. So-called “self-portrait” can be taken so that is not reflected. Moreover, even if it is rough terrain such as a sandy beach, it is possible to shoot comfortably and there is no fear of being carried away because there is no request to a third party.
