A specific description will be given based on each figure.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a video camera (used as an example of a portable device) 22 equipped with a grip belt 21 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The housing 23 of the video camera 22 is made of resin. A lens 32 or the like as an input unit is disposed on the front side 23a of the housing 23, and an operation unit 31 such as a photographing button is disposed on the rear side 23b. A first fixing portion 24 is formed on the side surface 23c of the front side 23a of the housing 23, and a second fixing portion 25 having a hole 25a is formed on the side surface 23d on the rear side 23b side of the housing 23. Is provided.

  One end 21b of the belt body 21a forming the grip belt 21 is fixed to the first fixing portion 24 (see FIG. 4). And this belt main-body part 21a penetrates the hole 25a formed in the 2nd fixing | fixed part 25, and the stopper 26 is mounted | worn with the other end 21c.

The belt main body 21 a forms a sliding path 27 between the first fixing portion 24 and the second fixing portion 25. A slider 28 is slidably slidable in the sliding path 27.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the slider 28 includes a hole 28 d penetrating the side surface 28 b on the first fixing portion 24 side and the side surface 28 c on the second fixing portion 25 side, an upper surface 28 a and a side surface 28 b. The hole 28e which penetrates is provided. The hole 28e serving as the inlet hole and the outlet hole of the belt main body 21a is formed to be gently curved.

  The belt main body 21a that forms the sliding path 27 is inserted through the hole 28d, and the belt main body 21a that forms the grip belt section 30 is inserted through the hole 28e. Both of the holes 28d and 28e are formed so that the belt main body 21a can slide freely.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of the grip belt 21. The belt body 21a has a length of 405 mm and a width of 10 mm. The material is synthetic fiber in order to ensure sufficient strength and moderate slipperiness.

Further, the color of the belt main body 21a is a silver color that gives a high-class feeling. Note that this color may be the same as the color of the housing 23 of the video camera 22.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the grip belt 21. The stopper 26 attached to the other end 21c of the belt main body 21a has two functions.

  The first function is a function for obtaining ease of operation. That is, since the end of the belt can be easily grasped with a small force, the operator controls the mounting size of the grip belt 21 to the size of the operator's hands 35a and 35b (see FIGS. 7 and 8). The combined grip belt portion 30 (see FIG. 4) can be easily obtained.

  The second function is a function of obtaining the hand strap portion 38 for preventing the slider 28 from slipping through and providing a hand strap function. The material of the stopper 26 is made of resin, and the color thereof is the same as that of the belt main body 21a.

  The stopper 26 uses a screw 26a or a detachable fixing method by fitting into the other end 21c of the belt body 21a so that the stopper 26 is attached after the belt body 21a is inserted through the hole 28e of the slider 28. Reference numeral 29 denotes a hook-and-loop fastener attached to the back surface of the belt main body portion 21a, and forms a grip belt portion 30 suitable for the operator. That is, by adjusting the size of the grip belt portion 30 with the hook-and-loop fastener 29, it can be adapted to the hands 35a and 35b of the respective operators.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the grip belt 21 attached to the housing 23.
In FIG. 4, one end 21 b of the belt main body portion 21 a is fixed to a first fixing portion 24 provided in the video camera 22 and passes through a hole 25 a of the second fixing portion 25. The belt main body 21 a is inserted through the hole 28 e of the slider 28 and fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener 29, thereby forming a grip belt 30 with the sliding path 27.

  The belt main body 21a between the first fixing portion 24 and the second fixing portion 25 forms a sliding path 27 on which the slider 28 slides. The hole 28d of the slider 28 and the surface of the belt main body 21a are formed smoothly so that the slider 28 can smoothly slide along the sliding path 27.

  In order to semi-fix the sliding path 27, the inside of the hole 25a of the second fixing portion 25 is formed with a rough surface so that the belt main body portion 21a can be easily fixed by the second fixing portion 25. In addition, in order to improve this fixing degree, you may press the belt main-body part 21a with a spring, and you may fix to the belt main-body part 21a with a screw | thread.

Moreover, the said rough surface means the shaping | molding state by which the convex part was attached to the surface so that it might bite into the stitch of the belt main-body part 21a, and a frictional force might improve, for example.
The place where the sliding path 27 is semi-fixed or fixed to the housing 23 may be in the vicinity of the second fixing portion 25.

  It is important that the hole 28d and the hole 28e of the slider 28 are different surfaces, that is, the hole 28d is provided between the side surface 28b and the side surface 28c, and the hole 28e is provided between the upper surface 28a and the side surface 28b. This is to prevent the operator's skin from biting into the hole 28e when a hand is inserted into the grip belt portion 30 and the belt body portion 21a is tightened.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the slider 28.
The slider 28 has the same color as the belt main body 21a and is made of resin. The length dimension 28f is 10.5 mm, and the height dimension 28g of the side face 28b on the first fixing portion 24 side is 11 mm. The height dimension 28h of the side surface 28c on the second fixing portion 25 side is 13.5 mm, and the upper surface 28a is formed continuously between the side surfaces 28b and 28c with a curve.

The dimension 28k from the lower surface 28j to the hole 28d is 2 mm, and the dimension 28m from the side surface 28c to the hole 28e is 2 mm. The height 28n of the hole 28d is 2.5 mm, and the inlet 28p of the hole 28e is 3 mm. The outlet of the hole 28e merges with the hole 28d, and its height 28q is 4.5 mm. The widths of these holes 28d and 28e are 11 mm, and the holes 28d and 28e and the lower surface 28j are formed smoothly to improve the sliding property of the belt main body 21a.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the stopper 26.
The stopper 26 has the same color as the belt main body 21a and is made of resin. The length dimension 26b is 26 mm, and the height dimension 26c is 6.5 mm. The width is 13 mm. Desirably, the inlet 28p of the hole 28e is the same as the maximum thickness where the belt body 21a and the hook-and-loop fastener 29 overlap each other, and is substantially a tolerance of ± 0.3 mm. The height dimension 28n of the hole 28d is the same as the maximum thickness at which the belt body 21a and the hook-and-loop fastener 29 overlap, and is substantially a tolerance of ± 0.3 mm. Or, height 28n of the holes 28d is the same as the maximum thickness of the belt body portion 21a, is essentially a tolerance of ± 0.3 mm. Height 28q which merges with the hole 28d of the outlet hole 28e is set to be smaller than the total thickness of the height 28n of the hole 28e inlet 28p and holes 28d, is substantially a tolerance of ± 0.5 mm. Accordingly, the stopper 26 does not fall off after passing through the holes 28d and 28e of the slider 28, and becomes a stopper.

  The stopper 26 is formed by fitting an upper member 26d and a lower member 26e, and the other end 21c of the belt main body portion 21a is inserted between the upper member 26d and the lower member 26e and fixed by a screw 26a. The

Hereinafter, the operation of the grip belt 21 attached to the video camera 22 will be described.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view in which an operator having a large hand 35a inserts the hand 35a into the grip belt portion 30 and fastens the belt main body portion 21a. Since the slider 28 slides along the slide path 27 and fits the hand 35a, the gap 39 between the grip belt portion 30 and the hand 35a can be reduced. Accordingly, the video camera 22 is securely held and fixed to the hand 35a, and shooting blur can be prevented.

  FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view in which an operator having a small hand 35b inserts the hand 35b into the grip belt portion 30 and tightens the belt main body portion 21a. Since the slider 28 slides on the sliding path 27 and fits the hand 35, the gap 39 between the grip belt part 30 and the hand 35b can be almost eliminated. Accordingly, the video camera 22 is securely held and fixed to the hand 35b, and shooting blur can be prevented.

  As described above, even if the operator is a large hand 35a or a small hand 35b, the gap 39 of the grip belt portion 30 can be reduced, so that the hand 35 of any size of the hands 35a and 35b can be used as a housing. 23 can be securely fixed.

Next, the transition operation to the hand strap will be described.
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the grip belt portion 30 of the grip belt 21. In order to shift from the state of the grip belt part 30 to the state of the hand strap part 38 (see FIG. 11), first, in FIG. 9, the hook 26 is held and the hook-and-loop fastener 29 held by the belt body part 21a is engaged. Release the match. Then, the process proceeds to an arrow 36.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the hand 35 is moved in the direction of the arrow 37. Then, the slider 28 slides on the sliding path 27. If it does so, it will transfer to the hand strap part 38 as shown in FIG. 11 from the grip belt part 30 formed of the sliding path 27 and the belt main-body part 21a. At this time, since the stopper 26 is locked to the slider 28, the other end 21c of the belt main body 21a does not come out of the hole 28e of the slider 28.

  The grip belt 21 in the present embodiment does not need to remove the hand 35 when shifting from the grip belt state to the hand strap state as in the prior art. That is, since the grip belt part 30 can be transferred to the hand strap part 38 as it is, the hand 35 does not come off from the housing 23, so the risk of dropping the video camera 22 and destroying it is the same as in the past. Compared to the configuration where the place where the hand is passed is replaced, the reliability is improved.

(Embodiment 2)
12 and 13 show a second embodiment of the present invention.
The grip belt 41 according to the second embodiment is different from the grip belt 21 according to the first embodiment in that the contact assisting portion 40 is slidably attached to the belt main body portion 41a. Therefore, this difference will be mainly described.

  The contact assisting portion 40 increases the area of contact with the operator's hand 35 to reduce the load per unit area on the hand 35. This is particularly effective when used for a heavy video camera 22. The same components as those in Embodiment 1 are described with the same reference numerals.

12 is a plan view of the grip belt 41, and FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view thereof.
The material of the belt body 41a constituting the grip belt 41 is formed of slippery synthetic fiber, and the shape is the same as that of the belt body 21a described in the first embodiment. A different point is that the auxiliary assisting portion 40 is slidably inserted into the belt main body portion 41a. A hook-and-loop fastener 29a is attached over a length of 105.5 mm from the stopper 26 of the belt main body 41a. A hook-and-loop fastener 29b having a length of 80 mm is mounted on the contact assisting portion 40 on the same surface as the hook-and-loop fastener 29a. Although not shown, the slider 28 is inserted at a position indicated by an arrow 28A between the hook-and-loop fastener 29a and the hook-and-loop fastener 29b.

  The length 40a of the contact assisting part 40 is 100 mm. One width 40b is 22 mm, and the other width 40c is 14 mm. Thus, since the contact assisting part 40 is wider than the width of the belt main body part 41a, the area in contact with the hand 35 is increased, and the load per unit area acting on the hand 35 is reduced. Moreover, since it is formed of a slippery material, the transition from the grip belt part 30 to the hand strap part 38 can be easily performed.
