The present invention relates to a strap for a camera, and instead of carrying it on the neck or shoulder, the strap is fixed to both shoulders and chest and the camera is fixed to the strap and has a function of reducing camera shake during shooting.

In recent years, digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs) have become so popular that they cannot always be carried when carrying the camera, so as shown in Figure 1, there is usually a strap linkage (2) on both sides of the camera, where a strap ( 1) was to be attached to the shoulder or neck. However, if the neck is heavy, the camera is heavy and the neck may be uncomfortable and the length is long. The camera could fall off if you were to push it sideways with your shoulders, and it was easy to bump into something when you moved around. And the long strap (2) could give inconvenience such as covering the lens when taking a picture.

The most basic thing to take when taking a picture is anti-shake. Existing anti-shake device has a device that is built in the camera or a correction device by a program, but the big effect is difficult to expect. The most complete anti-shake device was a tripod or heavy weight and bulky, which made it difficult to carry at all times, especially on long trips. And it has a disadvantage that it takes a lot of hands to use it once. In order to compensate for this, there was a support with one leg, and there was a method of taking a picture by forming a triangle by connecting the legs to a camera and spreading the legs, but this also requires various operations for use and is not easy to carry after use.

There was also a pair of straps in the vest, but it wasn't anti-shake and not used much.

The present invention is to improve the above problems is to provide a device for firmly fixing the shoulder and chest area and is a strap device for connecting the camera here. The present invention allows the camera to be worn on the body more safely and comfortably with the existing strap function, and the camera is connected in a triangular form to the fixing device of the chest so that it can have an anti-shake function easily when shooting.

The basic configuration can be largely divided into a connecting portion connecting the camera and the wearing portion worn by the user. Just as tripods vary in size and height, wearing parts can take various forms, depending on the weight and size of the camera. As shown in FIG. 2, the wearing part includes both shoulder straps 8 and a pair of chest straps 5 and 6 connecting them. Each band can be adjusted to the user's size like a belt. And if your camera is light, you can have only one chest strap. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the chest straps 5 and 6 include an upper chest belt 6 positioned at an upper portion of the front of the upper body when worn by a user, and a lower chest belt 5 positioned at a lower portion thereof. In particular, the lower chest 5 is completely annular so as to surround the upper body of the wearer.

In order to stably fix the camera to the wearing part, the connecting strip 9 is positioned on both sides of the camera C to form a triangle structure. The connecting strip 9 is rotatably connected to the chest by the rotatable connecting ring 7. The connecting strip () may be connected to the lower chest (5), but more preferably connected to the upper chest (5). This linkage 7 allows the linkage strip 9 to rotate easily up and down. The rotatable connecting ring 7 is positioned about the middle of the eye and the navel, so as to take a picture of the camera C when it is picked up, it is positioned at the navel part when moving. The connecting strip 9 is adjustable in length, and is divided into two parts of the first division part 9a and the second division part 9b, and each of the division parts 9a and 9b at the opposite end of the male buckle ( 10) and arm buckle (11) to allow easy separation and recombination. If you can easily separate it, you can ask someone to take pictures or take pictures in various poses. The male buckle 10 and the female buckle 11 are placed in opposite directions on both connecting strips 9, respectively. Use it like a traditional strap. That is, the female buckle 11 is installed in the first division part 9a of the connection strip 9 on the left side and the male buckle 10 is installed in the second division part 9b with reference to FIG. If the male buckle 10 is provided in the 1st division part 9a of the strip | belt 9, and the female buckle 11 is provided in the 2nd division part 9b, the 1st division part 9a of each connecting strip 9 is provided. When the) is separated from the second division part 9b, the female buckle 11 and the male buckle 10 are provided at the ends of the pair of first division parts 9a connected to the camera C, respectively. By combining it can be used like the neck strap according to the prior art.
FIG. 3 shows a male ring 14 and female ring 14 which can be used in place of the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 11 of the embodiment of FIG. 2. The male ring is inserted horizontally into the lower part of the female ring, and then rotated vertically through a narrow moving path (14a) to use it in a manner of rotating again horizontally from the upper part. The width of the narrowest part (13a) of the male ring is wider than the moving path (14a) of the female ring, so that it cannot pass horizontally and can only pass through vertically so that it can pass through. Allow separation.

4 illustrates an example in which a pair of shoulder straps 15 are arranged to cross each other in an 'X' shape. Arranged to cross the shoulder strap 15 in the 'X' shape can be more firmly fixed to the chest and does not need the upper chest strap. It is possible to connect the camera (C) after fixing to the chest with a lower chest strap 16 and 'X' shaped shoulder strap 15 surrounding the wearer's chest as a complete ring shape without the upper chest strap. At this time, the connecting strap 17 may be fixed to the chest strap 16, but is preferably coupled to the shoulder strap 15 to be rotatable. Each strap is free to adjust the length so that it fits your body.
If the camera is light, the camera can be connected by fastening the short chest strap 18a only between the pair of shoulder straps 18 hanging on both shoulders, as shown in FIG. 5, and then engaging the connecting strap 19 to the chest strap 18a. have. In this case, instead of having a short chest 18a, a pair of shoulder straps 18 form a complete ring shape so as to surround the upper body of the wearer.

6 is a strap device using a camera-only backpack 20 or a general backpack. Backpacks can be easily carried with you, so they are often used for travel. This backpack can be more securely attached to the body with a backpack waistband (22) and a shoulder strap chest strap (23), and a strap (24) attached to both sides of the backpack shoulder strap (21) to easily carry the camera (C). To be. Then, the backpack waistband 22 and the shoulder straps 23 are respectively functioning as the lower chest 5 and the upper chest 6 of the embodiment according to the present invention described with reference to FIG. Shoulder strap 21 is to function as a shoulder strap (8). When shooting, the camera (C) is fixed in a triangular form on the body by both connecting strips 24, so both arms only need to give a force to lift the camera is excellent anti-shake effect. You can use it with an existing backpack by fixing the camera's shoulder strap to the end of the strap with the clip or by using a velcro.

7 is a camera strap device using suspenders. The elastic suspenders 30 are made of a material such as leather, and additionally, by fixing the suspenders on both sides with a bust 31 to secure stability and adhesion. The connecting strip 32 can be connected to both of the chest strap 31 or the suspenders 30 to connect the camera (C). Using a variety of materials and colors, it can also be used as jewelry when shooting. In this case, the suspenders 30 correspond to the shoulderband 9 of the first embodiment of the present invention described above with reference to FIG. 2, and an additional chest band 31 and an upper end portion of the lower part where the suspenders 30 are fixed are respectively. Corresponds to the upper chest (6) and the lower chest (5).

To carry the camera, a neck strap or hand strap was conventionally attached to the camera. The heavier single-lens reflex cameras used neck straps. However, hanging a heavy camera around your neck can be quite inconvenient, and putting it on your shoulder can cause the camera to fall off and your camera may hit your surroundings when moving. In addition, the neck strap is long, so the camera shakes when it is moved, making it less active. To compensate for this shortcoming, the chest strap holds the camera over a large area of the upper body, so that you can carry it around without having to hang around your neck. In addition, when not photographing, the camera is in the abdomen as shown in FIG. 4, so that the camera can be checked with the eyes, so there is little fear of hitting or falling as if the user is walking on the shoulder. In addition, since the connection band 9 with the camera is shorter than the existing strap, it is less shake when moving so that it can be worn more comfortably for activities such as climbing. Conventional long straps were able to cover the lens at the time of shooting, but the connecting strip 9 is connected to the chest fixing part and does not cover the lens.

The connecting strip 9 has a male buckle 10 and an female buckle 11 that can be easily separated and connected, and can be easily removed when the camera is given to another person or when a free pose is taken. When the left and right cameras and the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 11 of the connecting strips are placed oppositely, the female buckle and the male buckle at the ends of both connecting strips can be connected and extended to be used as a conventional strap. .

The camera strap according to the present invention has a function of preventing camera shake in addition to carrying a camera. If you do not use a tripod, the camera must be fixed only with both hands, so I could tremble up, down, left and right. 6 is a perspective view at the time of shooting (the left hand is lowered for convenience) when the camera is lifted up with both hands at the time of shooting, the wearing part and the camera are fixed in a triangular form by the left and right cameras and the connecting strip 24, Less shaking up and down has an anti-shake effect.

The wearing part is available in various forms and can be worn on the chest stably with the 'X' shoulder strap as shown in FIG. 4 and the method of fixing only the shoulder strap in front of the chest as shown in FIG.

Single-lens reflex cameras use a camera backpack because they have to carry lenses together. When the camera and the connecting ring 24 is connected to the shoulder strap 21 of the backpack as shown in FIG. 6, the wearing comfort can be excellent and the above functions can be provided.

7 is fixed to the suspenders 30 with an additional chest 31, and then connected to the camera and the connecting ring here, while having the above functions can also be used as ornaments during travel such as exit [出 寫].
