Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a collecting container that can be used for field observation or collecting plants and animals, and has both the functions of a telescope and a magnifying glass.

For outdoor observation, a telescope is required to observe small birds in the distance, a magnifying glass is required to observe insects and plants, and a container to store the collected materials is required. is necessary.

For this reason, in the past, it was necessary to carry observation tools and containers for these observations and collections, and there was also the inconvenience that observation tools had to be selected one by one depending on the object to be observed.

The present applicant has previously proposed a common telephoto and magnifying mirror that can be used as a telescope or a magnifying glass depending on the object to be observed (Utility Model Application No. 57-133010). ).

The present invention is an improvement that further improves this function and allows the space inside the lens barrel to be used as a container for collecting collected objects.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lens circuit which includes a convex objective lens fixed to a surface corresponding to the bottom of a cylindrical container body, a concave lens corresponding to the convex lens held at one end, and a two-pronged hawk at the other end. An intermediate portion of the movable lever is pivotally attached so that the concave lens is located inside the opening end side of the container body and rotates toward the objective lens side, and an eyepiece lens is fixed in the cylindrical body. A cylindrical cap body with a pivot mounting piece provided on the outer surface of one end is pivoted to a support piece protruding from the outer periphery of the opening end of the container body, so that the cap body can be rotated along the optical axis plane. When attached, a pin protruding from the pivot attachment piece of the cap body is engaged with a forked fork of the concave lens rotating lever, so that the lever and the cap body are interlocked.

In the present invention, the cylindrical cap body and the concave lens rotation lever are pivotally mounted and interlocked so as to rotate together in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the container.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container constructed by combining, for example, semi-cylindrical divided bodies, and a convex objective lens 2 is fixed to a surface of the container 1 corresponding to the bottom surface. Support piece 1c formed on the outer periphery of the opening end of this container 1
The opening 1 of the container 1 is equipped with an eyepiece convex lens 3.
Mounting piece 4 for pivoting the cylindrical cap body 4 that opens and closes b
a is rotatably pivoted via a pivot pin 5.
Reference numeral 6 designates a concave lens rotating lever that holds the concave lens 7 at one end in the container 1 and has bifurcated hawks 9a and 9b at the other end, and is in the set position where the concave lens 7 faces the convex eyepiece lens 3 (see Fig. 2). A pivot pin 8 integrally protruding from the intermediate portion is fitted into a recess 8a provided in the container wall so as to be rotatable between the position (see Fig. 3) and the retracted position toward the convex objective lens 3 side (see Fig. 3). An engagement pin 10 protruding from the pivot mounting piece 4a of the cap body 4 is slidably engaged between the two-pronged forks 9a and 9b formed on the other end side of the rotating lever 6, which are jointly attached. There is. As a result, the concave lens rotating lever 6 is retracted via the engagement pin 10 and the two-pronged hawks 9a and 9b in conjunction with the opening/closing operation of the eyepiece cap body 4 (see FIGS. 3 and 2). An interlocking mechanism 11 is configured to rotate between the position (the position shown in FIG. 3) and the set position (the position shown in FIG. 2). In addition, in order to prevent the cap body 4 from closing unnecessarily when the cap body 4 is opened, an elastic locking mechanism (not shown) is provided between the support piece 1c of the container 1 and the pivot mounting piece 4a of the cap body 4, for example. In addition, the container 1 is provided with an engaging stepped portion 13 to which the hook portion 12 of the cap body 4 is elastically engaged, so that the cap body 4 does not open unnecessarily when the cap body 4 is closed. It will be done. In the figure, 14 is a hole for a hanging string.

The operation of the collecting container with a telescope and magnifying glass of the present invention constructed as described above will be explained. First, when using it as a telescope, close the opening 1b of the container 1 with the cap 4 as shown in FIGS. let Due to this closing action,
Engagement pin 10 and hawks 9a, 9 of interlocking mechanism 11
The concave lens rotating lever 6 is rotated and set to a position facing the convex eyepiece lens 3 via the lever b, thereby limiting the positional relationship of the lenses. In this state, if you look through the opening 4' of the cap body 4, you will see the convex eyepiece lens 3,
Through the concave lens 7 and the objective convex lens 2, it is possible to magnify and observe small birds in the distance. When used as a magnifying glass, when the cap body 4 is opened as shown in FIG. 3, the concave lens 7 is retracted toward the inner wall of the container via the interlocking mechanism 11. In this state, if one looks through the opening 1b of the container 1, insects and the like can be observed under magnification through the convex objective lens 2.

Furthermore, when storing the collected insects or plants in the container, when the cap body is opened, the concave lens rotates and retreats toward the objective lens side by the interlocking mechanism, so that it does not get in the way and can be stored smoothly.

As mentioned above, if you carry the collection container of the present invention, you can use it not only as a collection container.
This makes it possible to observe small birds in the distance, insects, plants, etc. under magnification, and it is convenient because there is no need to select observation tools for each object to be observed.

In addition, since there is a small gap around the interlocking mechanism, ventilation can be maintained even when the cap is closed, so it does not impede the breathing of the housed insects or plants. You can take a look inside.
