Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a storage case for a tape cartridge having a lens filter function of a camera.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 It is well known to attach a lens filter such as a soft focus filter or a cross filter in front of a lens of a camera to take a picture in order to add a special effect to an image. On the other hand, a plastic tape cartridge storage case for storing an 8 mm or VHS-C video tape cartridge for protection and storage is also well known. However, there was no technology to use a storage case for tape cartridges or cards such as index cards that are stored together with the tape cartridge in this storage case as a lens filter.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In order to perform the above special shooting with a video camera outdoors, for example, it is necessary to carry filters and spare tape cartridges in addition to the camera, and the bag for the camera is bulky. It was The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to use the storage case for the tape cartridge or the cards stored together with the tape cartridge as the lens filter as it is, so that it is convenient to carry and the lens filter material is saved. There is a point.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The storage case for a tape cartridge of the present invention comprises a plastic body 4 for storing the tape cartridge 2 and a lid 5 as shown in the figure, and the lens filter function exerting means 13 of the camera 14 is attached to the body 4 or the lid 5. Is applied. The lens filter function exerting means 13 may be provided on a card 23 such as an index card or a label card stored together with the tape cartridge 2.

[0005]

[Action]

 By attaching the tape cartridge storage case 1 or the card 23 provided with the lens filter function exerting means 13 in front of the lens 15 of the camera 14 and taking a picture, the image can be modified.

[0006]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, since the tape cartridge storage case 1 or the card 23 stored together with the tape cartridge 2 can be used as it is as a lens filter, it is not necessary to carry a lens filter. This dual use is also advantageous because it can save the material of the lens filter.

【Example】

 An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a storage case for storing a tape cartridge for VHS-C or 8 mm video will be described. In FIG. 1, the storage case 1 is composed of a body 4 having a pocket 3 into which the tape cartridge 2 is inserted and a lid 5, and is provided on one of the left and right side walls 6.6 of the body 4 or the left and right side walls 7.7 of the lid 5. The body 4 and the lid 5 are rotatably and pivotally coupled to each other around a pivot 9 fitted in a shaft hole 8 provided. It is a transparent (colorless or colored) or translucent plastic molded article together with the body 4 and the lid 5, and polystyrene, polycarbonate or the like is used as a material having particularly excellent transparency. The body 4 and the lid 5 can be easily separated from each other by extracting the pivot 9 from the shaft hole 8 by utilizing the elasticity of the left and right side walls 6 and 7. Either the bottom wall 11 of the body 4 or the upper wall 12 of the lid 5 may be used, but in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, a grid-shaped cut portion 10 is formed in the central portion on the outer surface side of the bottom wall 11 of the body 4. By doing so, the lens filter function exerting means 13 for soft focus or cross is provided. The body 4 provided with the lens filter function exerting means 13 is separated from the lid 5, and when the body 5 is held in the hand and superposed in front of the lens 15 of the camera 14 as shown in FIG. Since light is refracted in the cut portion 10, the image is photographed in a soft whitish tone that is slightly whitish, and in the shaded light reflection portion, light is refracted in a cross shape (cross shape) and is photographed. Can produce special effects.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a transparent clear portion 16 is left in the central portion on the outer surface side of the bottom wall 11 of the body 4, and a grain pattern 17 is processed around the outer peripheral portion thereof to exert a lens filter function. Means 13 are provided. When you shoot with this body 4, only the center part of the image is clearly captured, and the surroundings are slightly whitish, so you can enjoy the special effects especially when shooting a portrait. it can.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a lens filter function demonstrating means 13 for processing a grain pattern 17 on the entire outer surface of the bottom wall 11 of the body 4 is provided. If you shoot with this, you can shoot the entire screen in soft focus.

In FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, a lens filter function demonstrating means 13 is provided in which a circular portion 18 is left in the central portion on the outer surface side of the bottom wall 11 of the body 4 and a concave curved surface 19 is formed on the outer periphery thereof. I am giving it. If you shoot with this, you can get a blur effect where the center of the screen is clear and the periphery is out of focus.

When the body 4 or the lid 5 provided with the lens filter function exhibiting means 13 is placed in front of the lens 15 of the camera 14, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to eliminate the need to hold it by hand by devising the shape of 5. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a circular arc-shaped cutout 20 is provided substantially at the center of the upper wall 3a of the pocket 3 of the body 4, and the cutout 20 is formed as shown in FIG. You can set it to According to this, the upper wall 3a of the pocket 3 of the body 4 does not interfere with the lens barrel portion 21 of the camera 14, and it is easy to handle. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper wall 12 on the lid 5 side is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 22 that matches the notch 20 so that when the tape cartridge 2 is used as the original storage case 1. The notch 20 on the side of the body 4 can be closed by the protrusion 22 on the side of the lid 5 to ensure the function of preventing dust from entering.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the lens filter function exerting means 13 is directly applied to the body 4 or the lid 5 of the storage case 1, but instead of this, the storage case 1 is stored together with the tape cartridge 2. , A transparent or translucent plastic film or a card 23 such as a dedicated card as shown in FIG. 10, an index card as shown in FIG. 11, or a label card as shown in FIG. It is also possible to provide the filter function exerting means 13 and attach it in front of the lens 15 of the camera 14 in the same manner as described above.

FIG. 10 (A) shows a dedicated card with a grid pattern 26 corresponding to the grid cut portion 10 of FIG. 3, and FIG. 10 (B) shows a circular pattern (colored corresponding to the grain pattern 17 of FIG. 5). 27), and (C) in the figure is a pattern (including coloring) 28 corresponding to the grain pattern 17 in FIG. 5 offset, gravure or screen printed, respectively.

FIG. 11 shows an index card in which the above-mentioned several patterns 26 and 27 are arranged and printed to provide the lens filter function exhibiting means 13, which can be selectively used.

FIG. 12 shows a label card on which the above-mentioned several patterns 26 and 27 are arranged side by side and printed with a lens filter function exhibiting means 13, which can be selectively used.

When the card 23 such as an index card, a label sheet, or a dedicated card is placed in front of the lens 15 of the camera 14, in addition to holding them directly in the hand, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to use the body 4 of this person by putting it in the pocket 3 of this body.

The present invention is not limited to a video camera, and can be similarly used as a lens filter for a still camera. Further, in addition to the 8 mm or VHS-C tape cartridge, it can be similarly applied to a storage case such as an audio tape cartridge.
