JPH11223877A - Additional tool changing tripod for photographing machine to easel while keeping tripod standing - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide two kinds of additional tools by which a tripod for a photographing machine is used also as an easel while it is kept standing. SOLUTION: A plate 4 having width and length corresponding to the upper half of the rear part of the higher vertical part of a special plate 1 having about 30 cm length and the height of either vertical side twice as high as the other is put on the rear part thereof, a sponge 13 is attached to the plates and two legs of the tripod for a photographing machine 17 are held in between. By providing machine screw holes 6, 8 and 7 and a groove 9 on both surfaces of the plates and tap-screwing machine screws 10 in the holes 6 and 7 so as to pass through two spots near both ends, and a butterfly nut 11 attached to the outside of the plate 4 is wound to shorten a distance between both surfaces, so that a drawing board stand is fixed on two legs of the tripod 17 and a drawing board 19 is placed between the bottom part of the plate 1 and the front low vertical part thereof. A supporting tool 16 is made to pass to the inside of a U-shaped plate 5 existing at the center part of the plate 4 or the plate 1 facing to the plate 4, and the center part of the upper side of the drawing board is supported by a pressing plate 15, whereby the tripod for a photographing machine becomes the easel for the drawing board free from size.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an accessory for converting a tripod for a camera into a picture frame while standing upright.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a tripod for a camera and a picture frame have a very similar structure, and although they are used for somewhat similar purposes even though the target object is different, they have been treated as completely different objects. Even if he wanted to carry a drawing board with a tripod and a picture frame and go on a trip, he could not easily carry both the tripod and the picture frame because it was bulky and heavy.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By using a small and lightweight accessory to a camera tripod and transforming it into a picture frame while standing up the camera tripod, you can easily carry a camera and a drawing board with a tripod and a picture frame It can be so.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] a. One of the components for fixing the drawing board using two of the three legs of the camera tripod is added to the accessory of the tripod. B. Or, add two components for fixing the drawing board using two of the three legs of the camera tripod to the accessory of the tripod. C. An upper support for the drawing board to add stability to the drawing board to ensure that the drawing board is stable even when the wind blows.

[0005]

By using the accessory according to the present invention, it is possible to change the camera tripod to a picture board frame or to return to the original camera tripod while holding the camera tripod upright.

[0006]

An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The additional tool for changing the camera tripod into a picture frame with the camera tripod of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 standing up has the following configuration.
In the following description, all the flat plates and special flat plates may be made of metal, light gold, wood or plastic.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the bottom of the drawing board is fixed to an arbitrary position of two legs of a camera tripod. Special plate (1) which is twice as long, or the same special shape which has the same length but a slightly narrower cross section A special flat plate (1) or (2) placed parallel to the rear upper half with the longer vertical side, a flat plate (4) with the width and length of the upper half of the same, or Face to face (4) Glue with the side facing and place parallel to the flat plate (4). Screw holes (6), (7), flat plate near the both ends of the corresponding portion of the special flat plate (1) or (2) Open a screw hole (8) on one side near the both ends of (4), and on the other side, turn (4) behind the two legs of a camera tripod (17) for a camera When sandwiching two tripod legs, the depth of the flat plate (4) is set so that one side of (4) can be separated from the screw (10) having a length enough to sandwich a part of any two tripod legs. A groove (9) close to the half width of (4) is formed on the upper side or lower side of (4), and a screw (10) is inserted between (6) and (8) and between (7) and (9). ) And (7) cut the tap according to the thickness of the screw so that the screw (10) can be fixed to the special plate (1) or (2), and then the tripod leg is inserted Of the contact surface Flat order to increase the friction (4)
Special flat plate placed in parallel with (1) A thin sponge (13) is adhered to the hole, the hole diameter of (8) and the groove width of (9) are slightly increased, and one end of the flat plate (4) is passed through the screw (10) using the screw hole (8). The groove (9)
After fitting, the two wing nuts (11) on the outside of the screw (10) narrow the gap between (1) and the flat plate (4) on both sides to fix it to the two legs of the camera tripod (17). Place the screen between the bottom of the flat plate (1) and the lower vertical part in front to prevent (11) from accidentally falling off during its operation. It has a short width and can be folded in three with screws and wing nuts (14) so that the height of the support (16) can be adjusted at the center of the upper side of the drawing board (19).
8) Lower the support (16) with the short holding plate (15) that supports the upper side. This is an additional tool that holds the center of the upper part of the drawing board to prevent the stability of the drawing board from being destroyed by wind or the like.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a special flat plate (1),
(2) The length of the flat plates (3) and (4) after 10cm after the war The special flat plate (1) or between (2) and the flat plate (4)
Instead of having only one leg for the camera tripod, use two of these panel stands and change the screw hole (8) side to the screw (18) in the two thumb screws used for the screw (10). , This is an additional tool for turning a tripod for a camera having exactly the same configuration as that of the embodiment into a picture frame while standing up.

According to the present invention, two or three small and lightweight accessories are provided.
Although it is a product consisting of individual slender parts, it is possible to easily change it to a picture frame for a picture board while standing up on a handheld camera tripod, or to return to the original camera tripod, so feel free to use a camera You can carry a drawing board with a camera tripod and a picture frame, and you want to take a picture but want to draw a picture, or if you want to easily draw a picture on a large notebook or an affordable drawing board in the suburbs, etc. If you want to use the tripod as a poster stand, it is convenient to keep this small, lightweight and inexpensive accessory close to you.
