Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for mounting compact binoculars on a tripod.

[0002]

5 and 6 show an example of attaching conventional binoculars to a tripod, in which 17 is binoculars, 2 is a pipe at the center, and 3 is an attachment with a tripod screw hole 3a attached to the pipe 2. Metal fittings, 4 is a tripod, 5 is a tripod screw,
6 is a tripod screw tightening tool, and 7 is a handle.

[0003]

In recent years, there has been a demand for compact binoculars, and the distance between the left and right objective lenses is wider than the distance between the left and right eyepieces. In contrast to conventional binoculars, the distance between the left and right objective lenses is shortened as much as possible. Binoculars are the mainstream. In the case of this compact binocular, the objective lens diameter is also 30 m / m or less, and the magnification is gradually increasing, so that a tripod is needed to observe a stationary object. However, since the distance between the left and right objective lenses is shortened as much as possible for compactness, it is not possible to use the central pipe 2 when attaching the tripod, unlike the conventional binoculars. The object of the invention is to propose a device for mounting compact binoculars on a tripod.

[0004]

The structure of a device for mounting the compact binoculars according to the present invention on a tripod is as follows.

1. At the center of the upper head umbrella of the compact binoculars, a screw hole provided in the horizontal direction and a fitting hole for fitting the upper head umbrella portion are formed on the vertical upper end surface, and the middle portion is bent, and further below this middle portion. A binoculars mounting bracket formed by forming an end face in a horizontal direction and providing a tripod screw hole here, and a mounting screw for fixing the mounting bracket to the upper binocular portion of the compact binoculars, and a compact binoculars on a tripod. Device for mounting.

2. An apparatus for mounting the compact binoculars according to the above 1, which is formed so that an angle formed by an upper end surface and a lower end surface is 90 °.

3. An apparatus for mounting the compact binoculars according to 1 or 2 above, wherein the mounting bracket has a crank shape.

4. An apparatus for attaching the compact binoculars according to 1 or 2 or 3 configured to insert a packing between the upper umbrella portion and the fitting.

[0009]

[Function] When a tripod is not used, a blindfolding screw is screwed into the upper binocular of the compact binoculars. When using a tripod, remove the blindscrews, fit the packing between them to fit the fitting hole on the side of the mounting bracket into the upper cap, and screw the mounting screw into the screw hole to attach the mounting bracket to the compact binoculars. Attach it to the upper part of the umbrella.

Next, the tripod head is rotated to loosen the tripod screw, and the tripod screw hole on the mounting metal fitting side is aligned with the tripod screw hole. It is screwed into the screw hole. As a result, the mounting bracket is fixed to the tripod. To remove it, reverse the above procedure.

[0011]

1 and 2 are perspective views showing an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is compact binoculars, 1a is an upper umbrella, 1b is a screw hole, 4 is a tripod, 5 is a tripod screw, 6 is a fastener for fastening the tripod screw 5, and 7 is a handle.

In the upper end surface 9, a fitting hole 10 for fitting the upper umbrella 1a is horizontally formed, an intermediate portion 11 has a crank shape, and a lower end surface 12 is bent in the horizontal direction. This is a binoculars mounting bracket having a tripod screw hole 13 on the lower end surface 12. In the figure, 14 is a packing and 15 is a mounting screw.

3 and 4 show a tripod 4 using a mounting bracket 8.
When the compact binoculars 1 are attached to the upper part of the upper binoculars 1a, the blind holes 1b are screwed with a blind screw when the tripod 4 is not used. When the tripod 4 is used, the blind screw is removed, the packing 14 is bitten in between, and the fitting hole 10 on the side of the mounting bracket 8 is fitted to the upper base 1a, and the mounting screw 15 is attached.
Is attached to the binoculars 1 by screwing into the screw hole 1b.

Next, the tripod 4 tightening platform clamp 6 is rotated to loosen the tripod screw 5, and the tripod screw hole 13 on the mounting bracket 8 side is aligned with this, and this time the platform is clamped. Rotate the tool 6 in the tightening direction and screw the tripod screw 5 into the trippot screw hole 13 on the mounting metal fitting 8 side,
The mounting bracket 8 is fixed to the tripod 4. Removal is the reverse of the above procedure.

[0015]

The effects of the present invention are as follows.

A. The compact binoculars can be attached to a tripod by using the screw holes and mounting brackets of the upper binoculars on the compact binoculars side.

B. The screw holes on the upper part of the umbrella can be hidden with a blindfold screw when not in use, so the appearance is good.

C. Since the middle of the mounting bracket has a crank shape, the tripod platform is located under the belly of the compact binoculars, which makes it easy to observe and stable.
