Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate switching operation from/to the case of photographing with a grip strap on a lateral position to/from the case of the photographing with the grip strap on a vertical position, and at the same time, to jointly use a neck strap and the grip strap by providing two through holes to a strap clasp on the grip side of a camera main body. CONSTITUTION:The neck strap 5 passes through the hole 2 of the strap clasp 1 and is fixed by the clasp 6a in the shape of square with a horizontal line inside. When the camera main body 4 is laterally positioned and the photographing is performed, the grip trap 8 passes through the hole 3 and the hole 2 of the strap clasp 1 and is fixed by the magic tapes 9a and 9b sticking to the grip strap 8. When the camera main body 4 is vertically positioned and the photographing is performed, the grip strap 8 is drawn from the hole 2 and the hole 3 of the strap clasp 1 by stripping off the magic tapes 9a and 9b, and the magic tape 9b passes through the strap fitting 13 while making the strap fitting 12 sticking to a vertical position grip 11 a fulcrum and is fixed with the magic tape 9a. Thus, the grip strap 8 can be easily switched from/to the case of lateral position photographing to/from the case of vertical position photographing.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the shape of a strap mounting portion of a camera.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A strap attaching portion used in a conventional camera has one hole through which only one strap passes, as shown in FIG. 4, and a neck strap can be attached as shown in FIG. A grip strap is attached as shown in 6.

FIG. 7 shows an example of attachment in which a neck strap and a grip strap as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-64339 are used together.

[0004]

However, since the strap attachment portion used in the conventional example has a shape in which only one strap can pass, it has the following drawbacks.

(1) The neck strap and the grip strap cannot be attached at the same time.

(2) In order to use the neck and grip straps at the same time, one of the straps must be specially formed.

(3) It is difficult to switch the grip strap between the horizontal position and the vertical position.

[0008]

According to the present invention, it is possible to use a neck strap and a grip strap at the same time by providing, for example, upper and lower two stages of through holes of the strap fasteners on the grip side of the camera body. This facilitates the switching operation when shooting the grip strap horizontally or vertically.

1 is a plan view of a fastener for a strap according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of FIG. FIG. 3 is an example of use in which the metal fitting of FIG. 1 is passed through the camera body through a mounting strap.

Reference numeral 1 is a grip-side strap fastener, 2 is a neck strap, a hole through which the grip strap is passed, 3 is a grip strap through hole, 4 is a camera body, 5 is a neck strap, and 6a and 6b are date fittings of the neck strap. , 7 is a strap fastener, 8 is a grip strap, 9a and 9b are velcro tapes for adjusting the length of the grip strap, 10 is a date strap of the grip strap,
11 is a vertical shooting grip body, and 12 and 13 are straps for the vertical shooting grip body.

The neck strap 5 passes through the two holes of the strap fastener 1 and is fixed by the date fitting 6a. When the camera body 4 is photographed in the lateral position, the grip strap 8 passes through the holes 3 and 2 of the strap fastener 1 and is fixed with Velcro (registered trademark) 9a, 9b attached to the grip strap 8.

Further, when the camera body 4 is photographed in the vertical position, the grip straps 8 are stripped of Velcro tapes 9a and 9b, and the holes 2 and 3 of the strap fastener 1 are removed.
Then, the strap metal fitting 12 attached to the vertical grip 11 is used as a fulcrum, and 9b is passed through the strap metal fitting 13 and fixed to 9a.

That is, the grip strap can be switched between horizontal position shooting and vertical position shooting by a simple operation.

Further, since the grip strap does not need to be formed into a T shape because it is used together with the neck strap, it can be easily implemented.

[0015]

As described above, by providing two through holes in the grip side strap fastener of the camera body, the grip strap can be easily operated from the horizontal position to the vertical position with the neck strap attached. You can switch.

Further, since the grip strap can be used together with the neck strap, it does not require a special formation such as a T-shape, so that it can be easily implemented.

Further, the strap fastener does not increase in manufacturing cost irrespective of the manufacturing method (die casting, stamping of a metal plate, etc.).
