Reference numeral 16 denotes a video printer unit which prints an image after photographing on a sheet of paper or the like and sends it out to the take-out port 4. 16 A lighting device such as a fluorescent lamp arranged inside the photographing window 3. 8 and is arranged so as to be reflected. The hood 8 is formed of a white acrylic material in order to increase the reflection efficiency of illumination light. Such a hood is not essential in the present invention. The hood 8 is eliminated, and the frame 5 rotatably fixed to the support shaft 6 is extended.
Hood 8 that reflects the illumination light by being connected to
An amusement device that does not exist may be used.

First, the operation of the image processing apparatus having the above configuration will be described. At the time of photographing, a person as a subject stands in front of the photographing window 3 and operates the operation panel 2 to output from the CRT 14. Then, after selecting a desired one of the backgrounds displayed on the half mirror 13, the photographing is performed. That is, the CCD camera 12 passes through the photographing window 3 and the half mirror 13.
The image data of the subject such as a person photographed in the above-described manner and the image data of the selected background are subjected to composite image processing through the board unit 21. At this time, the upper part of the photographing window 3 is covered by the hood 8, and light emitted by a lighting device 17 such as a fluorescent lamp attached to the upper surface of the light-shielding plate member 11 on the upper part of the housing 1 is irradiated by the hood 8. Reflected on the inner surface of the camera, it illuminates a person located below, eliminating the influence of light from the outside and enhancing the lighting effect. The photographed image is printed on a sheet such as paper in the printer unit 15 and discharged to the outlet 4.

Next, when a downward stress is applied to the hood 8 or the hanging curtain 7, the stress is applied to the coil spring 10.
4, the frame 5 rotates about the support shaft 6, and the hood 8 and the hanging curtain 7 are inclined together with the frame 5, as shown in FIG. At this time, the stress applied to the frame 5 acts as a roller with the support shaft 6 as a fulcrum and the coil spring 10 as an application point, and the position of the application point is determined by the upper surface of the housing. Becomes With this configuration, the frame 5
Is rotated about the support shaft 6, most of the applied stress acts as a force to extend the coil spring 10 attached to the hood 8 upward, and the housing 1
Is reduced by the expansion and contraction of the coil spring 10 and is not immediately applied to the housing 1, so that the housing 1 is less likely to fall.

According to the first embodiment, both ends of the substantially U-shaped frame 5 are rotatably mounted on the support shaft 6 at the upper end of the front surface of the housing 1, and the frame 5 is mounted above the frame 5. The hood 8 is disposed in connection with the frame 5. One end of the coil spring 10 is attached to the rear end of the hood 8, and the other end is attached to the upper surface of the light shielding plate member 11 on the upper part of the housing 1. Also, since the hood 8 is supported so as to be substantially horizontal, even when stress is applied to the frame 5, the frame 5 rotates around the support shaft 6 at the mounting portion thereof, and the applied stress is reduced. Most of the force is a force for extending the coil spring 10 attached to the hood 8 upward, and the stress applied to the housing 1 is relieved by the extension of the coil spring 10 and is not immediately applied to the housing 1.
The housing 1 has an advantage that it is difficult to fall down.

The space above the photographing window 3 is covered with a hood 8, and the light illuminated by a lighting device 17 inside the hood 8 is reflected by the inner surface of the hood 8, and a person positioned below is exposed. , It is possible to eliminate the influence of external light entering from the upper part of the housing 1 and the like, and to obtain a high illumination effect.

In the first embodiment, one coil spring 10 is provided, but a plurality of coil springs may be used. The spring constant of the coil spring is set appropriately according to the parameters of the length of the frame 5 and the weight of the hood 8, but as a guide, a load of about 5 kg is applied to the front surface of the frame 5. It should be large enough to start growing when you touch it.

Although the lightings 16 and 17 are provided on the front side and upper side of the housing, respectively, they may be provided on either one of them.

The two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 shows a usable state in which the frame 5 as a hanging-panel mounting member and the coil spring 10 as supporting means are indirectly connected via the hood 8, and one point is shown. The chain line shows a compact state in which the connection between the frame 5 and the coil spring 10 is released.

In the usable state, the outer shape is H, and in the compact state, the outer shape is h. As is apparent from the drawing, the relationship of H> h is established. That is, in the compact state of the outer shape h, the outer shape can be made smaller than that in the use state, so that there is an advantage that no space is taken when transporting or storing in a warehouse or the like. Further, even if the frame 5 is enlarged and the depth H of the outer shape is increased, the depth h in the compact state does not change. Therefore, for example, it is easy to use a camera having a long focal length as the camera 12. Then, banner 7A
It is easy to increase the distance between the camera and the photographing window 3, and by increasing the distance, the cramp for the subject is improved.

Further, the frame 5 and the hood 8 can be disassembled into pieces so as to avoid the risk of shortage of the assembled parts at the time of the next assembling due to the problem that they will not be placed on an elevator or a truck during transportation.

Although various methods can be adopted for connecting the hood 8 and the coil spring 10, in this embodiment, the hooks 10A of the coil spring 10 and the fixing rod 8A arranged in the width direction are connected. It is configured to be removable. Further, the frame 5 and the coil spring 10 may be directly connected. In the case of the above embodiment,
In order to release the indirect connection between the frame 5 as the hanging attachment member and the coil spring 10 as the supporting means, the coil spring 10 is held by hand to engage the fixing rod 8A and the hook 10A against the spring. It is done by solving.

[0029]

According to the first aspect of the present invention described above,
When the amusement device is used, the hanging attachment member and the supporting means are connected to a usable state, and at the time of transportation or storage in a warehouse or the like, a compact state is used to reduce problems such as not being able to enter the elevator during transportation. The problem that the parts are disassembled or parts are scattered, and the trouble such as assembly and disassembly can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the supporting means is constituted by an elastic member, even if an inadvertent load is applied to a hanging curtain or the like, it is possible to alleviate the fall of the housing and to support the housing. Connection and disconnection of the member and the hanging attachment member can be performed more easily.
