[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a connecting device that integrates a camera and a light emitting device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 When connecting a camera and a light emitting device, such as a strobe device, the light emitting device is conventionally attached to a so-called accessory shoe provided in the camera. However, with this method, the mounting position of the light-emitting device is fixed, and it may not be possible to obtain the desired lighting effect during shooting.

That is, the accessory shoe is generally provided on the top of the camera. Therefore, we will consider attaching a strobe device to this accessory shoe for shooting. In this case, when the camera is held in a normal horizontal position, the illumination from the strobe device strikes the subject from above and a good illumination effect is obtained. However, if this camera is held vertically, the illumination from the strobe device will strike from the side of the subject, and a good illumination effect will not be obtained.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the device. In this figure, the device includes a bracket 1 formed on a substantially rectangular plate body 11, a first screw 2 screwed to a bottom surface of a camera (not shown), and a light emitting device (not shown) mounted. The holder 3 and the second screw 4 screwed onto the bottom surface of the holder 3. The bracket 1 is provided with a long hole 12 into which the first screw 2 is inserted, and a notch 13 into which the second screw 4 is inserted and whose end is opened to the side edge of the plate 11. It is provided.

That is, in the bracket 1, the elongated hole 12 is provided on one side from the center of the plate body 11, and both ends of the elongated hole 12 are bent and the screw 2 is screwed into the tip end thereof. Screw portions 14 and 15 are provided. The notch 13 is provided on the other side of the plate body 11. The notch 13 is formed by two sides of a substantially V shape, and one end of the notch 13 is opened to the side edge of the plate body 11, and the other side is provided substantially along the extension line of the slot 12. Be done. Further, the open end side of the side edge of the plate body 11 of the notch 13 is widened in order to facilitate the insertion of the screw 4. A non-slip rubber member 16 is provided on the surface of the plate body 11 that comes into contact with the bottom surface of the camera (not shown).

Further, the screw 2 is provided with a screw portion 22 screwed into a camera (not shown) at the tip of a rod member that is erected on a base portion 21 of a size that can be gripped by a user. At the same time, the diameter of the rod member on the base portion 21 side is reduced, and the screw portion 22 is threaded into the screw portion 14 or 15, and then slidable along the elongated hole 12. Further, the base portion 21 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 23 to 28 at positions displaced from the center of the screw portion 22. The plurality of screw holes 23 to 28 are provided, for example, six around the screw portion 22 at an angular interval of 60 ° and are alternately arranged, for example, a standard screw hole of 1/4 ″ and a German screw hole of 3/8 ″. It is a screw hole.

Further, the holder 3 is an extension member that gives a predetermined height to a light emitting device (not shown), and a screw hole (not shown) into which the screw 4 is screwed is provided on the bottom surface of the holder 3. Further, a mounting device 31 similar to, for example, an accessory shoe of a camera, which is a base of a light emitting device (not shown), is provided on the upper portion. The screw 4 may have the same shape as the screw 2, but the base 41 may be a normal one as shown in the drawing.

In this device, the camera 100 and the light emitting device 200 can be integrated as shown in FIG. 2 with the long hole 12 on the right side and the notch 13 on the left side. Then, in this state, by loosening the screw 2 and sliding the bracket 1, the position of the light emitting device 200 can be moved as shown by an arrow a in the figure. Thus, for example, the light emitting device 200 can be fixed on an extension of the diagonal line of the film surface of the camera 100, and a good lighting effect can be obtained regardless of whether the camera 100 is in the horizontal position or the vertical position. be able to.

Further, in this case, since the bracket 1 is formed small in the above-described device, the user carries the camera 100 and moves the same, and the camera 100 may fall off the bracket 1. Never. Further, for example, even when the user holds the holder 3 and positions the camera 100 in the vertical position, the structure of the notch 13 is as described above, so that the holder 3 does not come off from the bracket 1 and can be used safely. be able to.

Further, by loosening the screw 2 and rotating the bracket 1 by 180 degrees and reversing the direction of the light emitting device 200, the light emitting device 200 can be arranged on the right side of the camera 100 as shown in FIG. it can. The light emitting device 200 is provided with a free pan head 201 whose light emitting direction can be arbitrarily changed. Further, the bracket 1 can be arranged as shown in FIG. 4 with an arbitrary angle. Further, loosening the screw 4 and separating the light emitting device 200 from the camera 100 as shown in FIG. 5 can be performed very easily by the structure of the notch 13.

Further, the structure of the screw 2 is specifically as shown in A (top view) and B (partial cutaway view) of FIG. 6, for example. That is, the base portion 21 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 23 to 28 at positions displaced from the center of the screw portion 22, and the plurality of screw holes 23 to 28 are, for example, corners of 60 ° about the screw portion 22. Six pieces are provided at intervals, and are alternately formed, for example, standard screw holes 23, 25, 27 of 1/4 "and German screw holes 24, 26, 28 of 3/8".

Due to the structure of the screw 2, the screw portion 22 and the screw holes 23 to 28 do not rotate together when a tripod (not shown) or the like is attached to the screw holes 23 to 28. Therefore, even if the screw of the tripod or the like is rotated, the camera 100 is fixed by the screw portion 22, and there is no risk of accident such as the camera 100 falling off, and the tripod or the like can be easily attached and detached. Further, by attaching a tripod or the like to the screw holes 23 to 28 of the plurality of screw holes 23 to 28 which are close to the center of gravity, it is possible to perform stable installation even when a telephoto lens is attached. Furthermore, it can be attached to various types of tripods such as standard screws or German screws.

In this way, according to this device, the positional relationship between the light emitting device 200 and the camera 100 can be arbitrarily moved to fix the light emitting device on the extension of the diagonal line of the film surface of the camera. However, it is possible to obtain a good lighting effect even in the vertical position. Further, by using the screw 2 in which a plurality of screw holes 23 to 28 are provided at positions displaced from the center of the screw portion 22, this attachment / detachment can be easily performed when a tripod or the like is attached to this screw hole. it can. Furthermore, by installing a tripod, etc. in the screw hole near the center of gravity of the multiple screw holes, stable installation can be performed, and the diameters of the multiple screw holes can be varied to allow various tripods to be installed. It is possible to adapt to the installation of such as.

[0018]

[Effect of the device]

 According to this invention, the positional relationship between the light emitting device and the camera can be arbitrarily moved to fix the light emitting device on the extension of the diagonal line of the film surface of the camera. However, it is possible to obtain a good lighting effect. In addition, since the user holds the camera when moving, there is no accidental dropping of the camera. Further, by using a screw provided with a plurality of screw holes at positions displaced from the center of the screw portion, when attaching a tripod or the like to this screw hole, this attachment / detachment can be easily performed. Furthermore, by installing a tripod, etc. in the screw hole near the center of gravity of the multiple screw holes, stable installation can be performed, and various tripods etc. can be installed by changing the diameter of the multiple screw holes. It has become possible to correspond to.
