The conventional smartphone camera support mechanism includes a main body that supports the back surface of a smartphone, a side support portion that supports one side portion in the longitudinal direction of the smartphone, and a grip portion that grips the other side portion that faces the one side portion, .

Such a conventional smartphone camera supporting mechanism has a problem in that it interferes with power or volume button when the smartphone is gripped and used.

On the other hand, in the conventional camera supporting mechanism, it is very difficult to use the both hands to pull the holding member against the side supporting portion and to interpose the camera therebetween.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a camera support mechanism that does not come in contact with buttons such as a power source, volume, etc. of a camera support mechanism.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a camera supporting mechanism which is easy to mount a camera.

The camera support mechanism according to the present invention includes a rod member for providing a camera support mechanism that is not in contact with a button such as a power source, a volume, or the like of the camera; A rod coupling part coupled to one end of the rod member, a side wall support part for supporting one side wall of the camera in a lateral direction in the longitudinal direction of the rod member, and at least one sliding guide part along the lateral direction, Wow; A sliding portion guided by the sliding guide portion and slidable in the lateral direction and a sidewall gripping portion integrally connected to the sliding portion and contacting the pair of sidewalls facing each other adjacent to the one sidewall of the camera A pair of gripping members; And a gripping spring for providing an elastic force in a direction in which the pair of sidewall grip parts approach each other.

Wherein the mounting body includes a trigger movable between a protruding position protruding from the side wall support portion and a retracted retracted position, a protruding spring for providing an elastic force such that the trigger is directed to the protruding position, When the trigger is in the retracted position, the pair of sidewall grasp portions are arranged so that when the trigger is in the retracted position, the pair of sidewall grip portions approach each other when the trigger is in the retracted position, The trigger is moved to the retracted position when the camera is placed on the side wall supporting portion so that the side wall holding portion automatically grips the camera.

The rod member has a sliding guide portion for guiding a sliding movement along a longitudinal direction of the rod member and a sliding portion for sliding along the sliding guide portion. The sliding guide portion and the sliding portion have a cross section having at least one corner Shape can prevent the sliding portion from rotating with respect to the sliding guide portion.

The pair of sidewall grippers may have a supporting leg capable of pivoting along the direction in which the sidewall grip portions are opposed to each other, so that the mounting body on which the camera is mounted can be easily mounted on a tabletop or a floor.

The camera support mechanism according to the present invention does not come into contact with buttons such as the power source, volume, etc. of the camera. When a trigger is used, the trigger is moved to the retracted position when the user places the camera on the side wall supporting portion, so that the sidewall holding portion is automatically gripped by the camera.

The rod member 100 has a handle 105 that can be grasped by the user and a first drawer 110 slidable along the inside of the handle 105. [ The handle 105 has an inner insertion hole into which the first drawer 110 can be inserted. The secondary drawer 120 is coupled to the primary drawer 110 so as to be slidable along the longitudinal direction. An inner insertion hole into which the secondary lead-out portion 120 can be inserted is formed in the primary lead-out portion 110.

The handle portion 105, the first and second lead portions 110 and 120 have a rectangular cross section so that the first lead portion 110 is connected to the lead portion 105 and the second lead portion 120, Does not rotate about the axial direction with respect to the primary draw-in portion 110.

The inner portion 130 is coupled to one end portion of the secondary lead-out portion 120 during a 'D' shaped turn with a pair of arms extending parallel to each other along the longitudinal direction. A pivoting portion 140 is interposed between a pair of arms of the inner portion 130 during rotation and the pivot portion 140 is supported by the pivoting member 135 in the inner portion 130 during rotation. During rotation the inner portion 130 is rotatable about the axis of the pivot member 135.

A rod-shaped bar coupling portion 210 corresponding to the lower portion of the mounting body is coupled to the rotary portion 140. The rod coupling part 210 is detachable relative to the rotary part 140 by the operation of the rotary wheel 145 of the rotary part 140. At the upper portion of the rod coupling part 210, a sidewall support part 220 for supporting one side wall of the camera in a transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rod member 100 is coupled. A pair of gripping members that are slidable along the transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rod member 100 are provided between the rod coupling portion 210 and the side wall support portion 220. [

FIGS. 2 to 4 are enlarged perspective views showing a state in which the side wall supporting portion 220 is removed to express the operating relationship of the gripping member. As can be seen from these drawings, the gripping members have sliding portions 310a and 310b which slide along the transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rod member 100 on the upper surface of the rod connecting portion 210. [ A sliding guide protrusion 250 for guiding sliding of the sliding parts 310a and 310b in the transverse direction is formed on the upper surface of the rod coupling part 210. [ The sliding portions 310a and 310b are formed with sliding holes 315a and 315b into which the sliding guide protrusions 250 are inserted. The sliding holes 315a and 315b have a shape extending along the transverse direction. Accordingly, the sliding portions 310a and 310b can slide along the extending direction of the sliding holes 315a and 315b.

At one end of the sliding portions 310a and 310b, sidewall grip portions 330a and 330b extending along the height direction are formed. On one side of the sidewall grip parts 330a and 330b located in the opposite directions of the pair of sidewall grip parts 330a and 330b, gripping grooves 331a and 331b are formed for receiving the side portions of the camera for a predetermined length. Trigger receiving portions 317a and 317b for partially receiving the cylindrical trigger 230 are formed at the other ends of the sliding portions 310a and 310b.

The other ends of the sliding portions 310a and 310b are provided with bent portions 345a and 345b extending in the transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the sliding portions 310a and 310b and sliding portions 310a and 310b extending from the bent portions 345a and 345b, The loading slide portions 340a and 340b extending along the longitudinal direction of the loading slots 340a and 340b are formed. Here, the pair of loading slide portions 340a and 340b are overlapped with each other in the height direction. The thickness of the loading slide portions 340a and 340b is about half the thickness of the sliding portions 310a and 310b and the thickness of the pair of loading slide portions 340a and 340b is larger than that of the sliding portions 310a and 310b, 310b.

A gripping spring 400 extending along the longitudinal direction of the sliding portions 310a and 310b is interposed between the sliding portions 310a and 310b and the loading slide portions 340a and 340b. One end of the holding spring 400 is in contact with the bent portions 345a and 345b and the other end is in contact with the spring supporting portion 215 protruding from the rod coupling portion 210. [ Accordingly, each of the gripping springs 400 provides an elastic force in a direction in which the pair of sliding portions 310a and 310b approach each other.

As shown in FIG. 2, between the pair of sliding portions 310a and 310b, a columnar trigger 230 which is elastically movable along the height direction, and a rectangular plate- A sliding stopper 235 is provided. The rod coupling portion 210 is formed with a receiving groove corresponding to the thickness of the sliding stopper portion 235 for receiving the sliding stopper portion 235. [

The trigger 230 and the sliding stopper 235 are provided at the lower portion of the trigger 230 or the sliding stopper 235 to provide a resilient force to the rod coupling 210 in the height direction. Accordingly, the sliding stopper 235 can move between the protruding position protruding from the rod coupling part 210 and the retracted position accommodated in the rod coupling part 210. [

2 to 4, when the trigger 230 is pressed downward, the camera supporting mechanism is mechanically supported by a mechanism in which the pair of gripping members approach each other due to the elastic force of the gripping spring 400, Respectively.

2, when the trigger 230 and the sliding stopper 235 protrude along the height direction, the pair of sliding portions 310a and 310b are supported by the sliding stopper 235 Mutual access is not possible. At this time, the trigger 235 is partially protruded even when the sidewall supporting portion 220 is engaged with the rod coupling portion 210. 3, when the trigger 235 is pressed against the rod coupling part 210, the trigger 230 and the sliding blocking part 235 are lowered. As shown in FIG. 4, the pair of sliding portions 310a and 310b approach each other due to the elastic force of the gripping spring 400. Of course, the mutual approach of the pair of sliding parts 310a and 310b is the same as the mutual approach of the pair of side wall grip parts 330a and 330b.

With such a mechanism, when the user places one side of the camera on the side wall supporting part 220, the trigger 230 is pressed by the weight of the camera so that the pair of side wall grip parts 330a and 330b approach each other, It can be grasped. The pair of sidewall grippers 330a and 330b abut on a pair of mutually opposed sidewalls adjacent to one sidewall contacting the sidewall support 220, respectively.
