Description

  The present invention relates to a kit capable of easily constructing a photographing environment regardless of a place.

For example, in order to obtain a photograph in which a subject is clearly photographed, such as a product photograph for publication in a catalog or a pamphlet, a studio equipped with photographing facilities must be used. However, it is disadvantageous in terms of monetary and time costs to use the studio whenever it is necessary to shoot. As a means for solving such a problem, as shown in the following patent document, a simple photography studio has been devised that can be installed in a required place and photographed in a suitable environment.
JP-A-11-109460 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-142659

  However, portability is not always considered in a simple studio for shooting as in the above example, and it cannot be said that it is easy to carry. Therefore, it is difficult to operate under circumstances where it is uncertain when and where the photo is taken, and it may not be possible to respond quickly when it becomes necessary to take a photo suddenly.

  The present invention, which has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned problem for the first time, has as its main object to provide a kit that can improve portability and can easily construct a photographing environment.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, a back sheet disposed as a background of a subject, a protective case for storing at least the back sheet, and holding the protective case in a transportable manner, A photographing environment construction kit comprising a carrying case that can be supported was constructed. If it is such, not only can a back environment and a transport case be used in combination, but a photographing environment can be simply constructed, and portability is improved.

  In addition, if the back sheet is stored directly in the transport case, the back sheet may be strongly pressed when an external force is applied to the transport case, resulting in a crease, which may hinder use as a background during shooting. However, the back sheet is protected by the presence of the protective case, and it is possible to avoid a crease in the back sheet.

  It is more preferable to further include a reflector disposed in the vicinity of the subject at the time of shooting, and to store the reflector in the protective case. The protective case can prevent damage and contamination of the backsheet and the reflector.

  If the protective case is capable of storing the reflector and the backsheet in a state where the backsheet is wound around the reflector, the crease is less likely to be formed as compared with the case where the backsheet is simply folded and stored. .

  The reflector is formed by stretching a reflective sheet having flexibility on a wire shaped so as to form a substantially rectangular outline, and is attached to the carrying case via attachments at both ends thereof to form an arch shape. If it is a thing, it becomes possible to set up the arch-shaped reflex above and to the side of the subject by placing the subject on the carrying case. Further, it can be twisted 180 degrees with respect to the other end side so that one end side of the reflector having a substantially rectangular outer shape is turned over, and then folded so that the one end side and the other end side are joined. Here, the reflection sheet refers to a sheet having a diffuse reflection characteristic suitable for acting as a reflector, such as a white cloth. The fixture is a concept including a fastener, a snap button, a hook, a clip, and the like, and a typical example thereof is a hook-and-loop fastener.

  The carrying case has a flat plate surface portion on which a subject can be placed at the time of photographing and a standing wall surface portion connected to the flat plate surface portion via a hinge, and the reflector is disposed on both sides and above the flat plate surface portion. It is installed so that it may cover, The said standing wall surface part is raised and it is good also as what can be attached to the said reflector via a fixture. With the above configuration, a space region surrounded by the flat plate surface portion and the standing wall surface portion of the carrying case and the reflector is opened. Then, by placing the subject in the area, it is possible to photograph the subject under a suitable photographing environment.

  In addition, it is preferable that the back sheet can be attached to the standing wall surface portion or the reflector via a fixture so as to shield the standing wall surface portion and the flat plate surface portion.

  According to the present invention described in detail above, it can be easily carried and a shooting environment can be easily constructed regardless of time and place.

The auxiliary frame 33 is a linear member formed by sewing a wire into a cloth of the same quality as the reflective sheet 32, for example. The auxiliary frame 33 is attached to both longitudinal edges of the reflector 3 so as to cross the central portion in the longitudinal direction. At least one end of the auxiliary frame 33 is detachable from the longitudinal edge of the reflector 3. In the illustrated example, one end of the auxiliary frame 33 can be detachably attached to one longitudinal edge of the reflector 3 via a hook-and-loop fastener, hook or other attachment 34, and the other end is detached from the other longitudinal edge of the reflector 3. It cannot be removed. As will be described later, the auxiliary frame 33 functions to maintain its shape when it is bent into an arch shape and attached to the transport case 1.

  The reflector 3 can be deformed by elastically deforming the frame 31 constituting the outer shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, by twisting 180 degrees with respect to the other end side so that one end side in the longitudinal direction is turned over, and then operating the one end side and the other end side closer as shown in FIG. The reflector 3 can be folded into a shape suitable for storage. However, at this time, at least one end of the auxiliary frame 33 is previously removed from the longitudinal edge of the reflector 3. After folding in this way, both ends may be joined using the hook-and-loop fastener element E31 attached to the short edge.

  When the back sheet 2 and the reflector 3 are accommodated in the protective case 4, as shown in FIG. 5, the back sheet 2 is wound around the folded reflector 3 as described above, and the reflector 3 and the back sheet 2 are then wound. Is stored in a storage space contained in the protective case 4.

  Hereinafter, a procedure for constructing a photographing environment using the photographing environment construction kit of the present embodiment will be described. First, the reflector 3 is attached to the flat plate surface portion 11 of the carrying case 1 developed with the inner surface facing upward, by curving it into an arch shape. That is, each of the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the reflector 3 is attached to both sides of the flat plate surface portion 11 via a hook-and-loop fastener as a fixture. More specifically, the surface fastener element E31 provided on the short edge of the reflector 3 and the surface fastener element E14 provided on the flat plate surface portion 11 are joined to each other to form an arch shape as shown in FIG. Attach the reflector 3 to the carrying case 1. However, at this time, it arrange | positions so that one longitudinal edge of the reflector 3 which provided the hook_and_loop | surface fastener elements E32 and E33 may be near the standing wall surface part 13 of the conveyance case 1. FIG. Thereby, the both sides and upper part of the flat plate part 11 are covered with the reflector 3.

  Subsequently, the standing wall portion 13 is raised and attached to the reflector 3 via a hook-and-loop fastener serving as a fixture. More specifically, the hook-and-loop fastener element E32 provided at the central portion of one longitudinal edge of the reflector 3 and the tip portion of the outer surface of the standing wall portion 13 (which is the upper end side when the standing wall portion 13 is raised). The provided surface fastener element E12 is joined. In addition, the hook and loop fastener element E33 provided at both end portions of one longitudinal edge of the reflector 3 and the inner surface of the standing wall portion 13 (provided on the lower end side when the standing wall portion 13 is raised) are provided on both sides of the proximal portion. The hook-and-loop fastener element E15 is joined. In this way, a space region that opens to the near side can be formed by the flat plate surface portion 11 and the standing wall surface portion 13 of the transport case 1 and the reflector 3.

  When attaching the back sheet 2 as the background of the subject, the hook-and-loop fastener element E21 provided on the back sheet 2 and the hook-and-loop fastener element E16 provided at the tip of the inner surface of the standing wall portion 13 of the carrying case 1 are joined. To do. The backsheet 2 attached via a hook-and-loop fastener serving as an attachment substantially covers the standing wall surface portion 13 and the flat plate surface portion 11 of the carrying case 1 as shown in FIG. However, the aspect which attaches the back seat | sheet 2 not to the conveyance case 1 but to the reflector 3 via attachments, such as a hook-and-loop fastener, is not disturbed.

  As a result, a photographing environment is constructed in which the back sheet 2 is laid in the space region constituted by the transport case 1 and the reflector 3. And it becomes possible to image | photograph a to-be-photographed object in a suitable imaging environment by placing a to-be-photographed object on the flat surface part 11 in which the back seat | sheet 2 was laid. The reflector 3 is disposed above and to the side of the subject.

  According to the present embodiment, the back sheet 2 disposed as the background of the subject, the protective case 4 that houses at least the back sheet 2, the protective case 4 is held so as to be transportable, and the back sheet 2 is held during shooting. Since the photographing environment construction kit including the carrying case 1 that can be supported is configured, not only the back sheet 2 and the carrying case 1 can be used in combination, but the photographing environment can be easily constructed, and the portability is improved. In addition, since the back sheet 2 is stored in the protective case 4 and is held by the transport case 1, the back sheet 2 is protected by the protective case 4 even when an external force is applied to the transport case 1. A crease is avoided.

  Since the reflector 3 arranged near the subject at the time of photographing is further provided and the reflector 3 can be stored in the protective case 4, it is possible to construct a more suitable photographing environment using the reflector 3 as well. .

  Since the protective case 4 is capable of storing the reflector 3 and the back sheet 2 in a state where the back sheet 2 is wound around the reflector 3, the fold line is compared with the case where the back sheet 2 is simply folded and stored. Becomes more difficult to stick.

  The reflector 3 is formed by stretching a reflective sheet 32 having flexibility on a wire formed so as to form a substantially rectangular outline, and hook and loop fasteners (that is, hook-and-loop fastener elements E31 and E14) serving as fixtures at both ends thereof. ) And is attached to the carrying case 1 to form an arch shape. Therefore, by placing a subject on the carrying case 1, an arch-shaped reflex can be installed above and to the side of the subject. ing. Further, the reflector 3 having a substantially rectangular outer shape can be twisted 180 degrees with respect to the other end side so that the one end side is turned over, and then folded so that the one end side and the other end side are joined.

  The carrying case 1 has a flat plate surface portion 11 on which a subject can be placed at the time of photographing and a standing wall surface portion 13 connected to the flat plate surface portion 11 via a hinge, and the reflector 3 includes the flat plate surface portion. 11 is provided so as to cover both sides and the upper side of 11, and the standing wall surface portion 13 is raised and hooked up to the reflector 3 (surface fastener elements E32 and E12, E33 and E15). ), The space region surrounded by the flat plate surface portion 11 and the standing wall surface portion 13 of the carrying case 1 and the reflector 3 is opened. Then, by placing the subject in the area, it is possible to photograph the subject under a suitable photographing environment.

It can be attached, and setting up the background at the time of shooting is simple.

  In addition, the transport case 1 is provided with a flat plate surface portion 11, and the back sheet 2 can be laid on the flat plate surface portion 11 to construct a photographing scene. Since the transport case 1 can be used as a base on which a subject is placed, a wide and flat space such as a desk is not necessarily required for shooting. That is, it is possible to construct a shooting environment in any place.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above. In particular, the attachment for attaching the back sheet 2 and the reflector 3 to the carrying case 1 is not limited to a hook-and-loop fastener, and a snap button, a hook, a clip, or the like can be employed instead.

  Further, the usage mode of the imaging environment construction kit is not limited to the above. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, even if the back sheet 2 is simply laid on the carrying case 1 developed with the inner surface facing upward and / or the reflector 3 is attached, the photographing environment can be constructed. Good. That is, it is not always necessary to raise the standing wall portion 13.

  The aspect of the reflector 3 is not limited to that in the above-described embodiment. For example, the subject may be surrounded by the foldable plate having a pair of opposing side plates and a top plate supported by both side plates.
