Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a video camera fixing device in an automobile, and in particular, a small video camera can be fixed to an inner surface of a side glass in a vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A tripod is widely used as a device for fixing the video camera on the ground or on the floor, but no inexpensive device has been available so far so that the video camera can be easily fixed in the car.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As mentioned above, there is no inexpensive device that can easily fix the video camera in the car. You must take a picture while holding the by hand. However, even if the image is taken in such a state, a stable image cannot be obtained because the camera shake becomes large in a moving vehicle. In addition, since the driver cannot take a picture while holding the video camera with his / her hand while driving the car, it is not possible to take a picture of the scenery outside the car with the video camera when the driver is alone. It is possible. Therefore, the present invention can obtain a sufficiently stable image even when the outside of the vehicle is taken from the inside of a moving car by a video camera, and moreover, it is possible to take a picture without gripping the video camera with a hand. In order to achieve the above, an attempt was made to provide an inexpensive device that allows a video camera to be easily fixed in a car.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a video camera support base and an auxiliary fixing rod, the video camera support base is provided with a suction tool for glass, and a mounting screw is attached to a tripod mounting screw hole at the bottom of the video camera. The video camera can be fixed on the video camera support by screwing, and the auxiliary fixing rod is a length adjusting device which is stretched between the inner surface of the car and a part of the video camera. The present invention provides a video camera fixing device in an automobile characterized by the above.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the video camera is fixed to the inside of the car using the video camera fixing device according to the present invention, the video camera is mounted on the tripod mounting screw hole at the bottom of the video camera by screwing the screw on the video camera support base. Then, the video camera support is fixed to the inner surface of the side glass of the car with a suction tool, and the length of the auxiliary fixing rod is adjusted so that the auxiliary fixing rod is located between the inner surface of the car and a part of the video camera. To stretch. At this time, the video camera is fixed to the inner surface of the side glass of the automobile by the video camera support and the shake is prevented by the auxiliary fixing rod. Therefore, since the video camera is in a stable state even while the vehicle is running, an extremely stable image can be obtained by photographing the scenery outside the vehicle in this state.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. A video camera fixing device in an automobile according to the present invention comprises a video camera support 1 and an auxiliary fixing rod 2. Although the auxiliary fixing rod 2 is separate from the video camera support base 1, it may be connected to the video camera support base 1 by an appropriate connection means such as a string to prevent loss. The video camera support base 1 is provided with four suction cup-shaped suction tools 4 for the glass 3 as an example, and the video camera 5 is supported by screwing a mounting screw 7 into a tripod mounting screw hole 6 at the bottom of the video camera 5. It is fixed on the table 1. The illustrated video camera support base 1 comprises a base 8 provided with a suction tool 4 and a support arm 9 of the video camera 5 projecting from the base 8 and a notch 10 formed in the support arm 9. When fixing the video camera 5 to the video camera support base 1, the video camera 5 is placed on the support arm 9, and the mounting screw 7 is passed from below into the notch 10 of the support arm 9 to allow the video camera 5 to be fixed. Screw it into the tripod mounting screw hole 6 on the bottom. Reference numeral 11 denotes a screw hole into which the mounting screw 7 is screwed in to prevent the mounting screw 7 from being lost when the video camera fixing device is not used. Reference numeral 12 is a reinforcing member attached between the base 8 and the support arm 9. Since the inclination angle of the glass 3 of the automobile to which the video camera 5 is attached varies depending on the vehicle type and the like, in order to maintain the horizontal state of the video camera 5, the support arm 9 is pivotally adjusted in the vertical direction according to the inclination angle of the glass 3. There is a need to. Therefore, in the illustrated example, the support arm 9 and the reinforcing member 12 are pivotally attached to the base 8 so as to be vertically rotatable, and the support arm 9 is formed with a long hole 26 in the longitudinal direction. Then, the end 12 ′ of the reinforcing member 12 on the support arm 9 side is fixed to the support arm 9 by a fixing screw 27 penetrating the elongated hole 26. The auxiliary fixing rod 2 is adjustable in length and is stretched between the inner surface 13 of the automobile (for example, the upper portion of the door frame) and the portion 14 of the video camera 5 (the portion as far as possible from the tripod mounting screw hole 6). Do like this. As an example, the auxiliary fixing rod 2 is formed by engraving female threads 17 and 18 in opposite directions from the respective end portions on the inner surface of the hollow body portion 16, and from these respective end portions of the hollow body portion 16. The adjusting rods 21 and 22 having the male screws 19 and 20 corresponding thereto are screwed together, and suction cup-shaped suction tools 23 and 24 are attached to the tips of the adjusting rods 21 and 22, respectively. In this case, the length of the auxiliary fixing rod 2 is adjusted by rotating the hollow barrel 16 so that the adjusting rods 21 and 22 project and retract from the hollow barrel 16. In order to prevent the auxiliary fixing rod 2 from being lost when the video camera fixing device is not used, a small diameter portion 25 is formed on one of the adjusting rods 21, and the small diameter portion 25 is supported by the video camera support base 1. The auxiliary fixing rod 2 can be fixed to the support arm 9 by inserting it into the notch 10 in the arm 9 and tightening the adjusting rod 21 (see FIG. 4). In the present invention, the video camera 5 is attached, for example, to the inner surface of the door glass of the automobile with the front of the automobile facing.

[0007]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the video camera is fixed to the inner surface of the side glass of the automobile by the video camera support base and the shake is prevented by the auxiliary fixing rod. Therefore, the video camera will be in a stable state even while the vehicle is running, and an extremely stable image can be obtained by photographing the scenery outside the vehicle in this state. Also, since it is not necessary to hold the video camera by hand during shooting, even when the driver is alone, the video camera can capture the scenery outside the vehicle. Further, the video camera fixing device in the vehicle according to the present invention has a simple structure and can be provided at low cost.
