TWI831018B - Tripod that can be combined with a walking stick - Google Patents

Abstract

This invention provides a tripod that combined with a walking sticks to achieve the selfie function for the walking sticks. The tripod mainly uses a tapered space around the inside of a hollow cylindrical body to accommodate tip of trekking stick. The tapered space is used to combine the two objects firmly. The outside of the hollow cylindrical body is connected with a plurality of connecting parts, and the connecting part has a first through-hole for attaching the supporting feet. When the supporting feet are unfolded, the walking sticks can stand as a photographic tripod. When this tripod is not in use, the supporting feet can be folded for saving space.

Description

Tripod attachable to walking stick

The present invention relates to a tripod, in particular to a tripod combined with a walking stick.

In today's society, mountaineering is a favorite leisure activity for people. Many mountaineers who love mountains are awe-struck by the magnificent mountain scenery when mountaineering, and they also hope to capture the beautiful scenery through photography. However, photographic equipment is bulky and heavy. Carrying, coupled with the popularity and popularity of small photographic equipment such as mobile phones and action cameras, people have gradually carried more such photographic equipment than traditional cameras. Therefore, some companies develop canes that can be combined with mobile phones and action cameras. At present, most of the sticks only have a handheld selfie function. For large-scale group photography applications or people who need to shoot stably for a long time, a tripod is still needed to achieve this function.

For this reason, a tripod that can be combined with a walking stick and is easy to carry is needed.

The present invention provides a tripod that can be connected to a cane. Its main purpose is to make it easy for the user to carry it, and to quickly assemble the tripod by using one end of the cane, so that the cane user can conveniently take pictures.

In order to achieve the aforementioned objects, the present invention includes: A fixed part is in the form of a hollow cylinder, with a tapered space surrounding the inside to accommodate one end of the cane. The fixed part is connected to a plurality of connecting parts on the outside, and the connecting part is provided with a connecting section. The connecting section has two side walls and a connecting part. The connecting section is also provided with a first through hole penetrating through both side walls for pivotally connecting the support legs.

The plurality of support legs are in the shape of elongated grooves, with a first end and a second end. The first end is provided with two second through holes. The inner sides of the two side walls of the first end of the support legs face the connection section of the fixed part. On the outside of both side walls, a pivot shaft passes through the two second through holes on the first end of the support leg and the first through hole on the connecting section to achieve the purpose of pivoting the fixing part.

When the support leg is opened, the first end edge inside the groove opening is against the connecting section of the fixed part, so that the support leg reaches the set angle when it is opened, and allows the connected cane to stand, so that the user can take photos.

As can be seen from the above, the tapered surface of the tapered space inside the hollow cylinder of the fixed part of the present invention can be combined with the tapered end of the cane, thereby achieving a stable combination.

The pivot portion of the connecting section also provides a rotation axis for storing the support legs, thereby reducing the storage space.

The photography tripod of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 5, including

A fixed part 10 is in the form of a hollow cylinder, with a tapered surface 11 surrounding the inner side. The outer surface 12 of the fixed part 10 is connected with a plurality of connecting parts 13. The connecting part 13 is provided with a connecting section 14, and the connecting section 14 is provided with two side walls and a The connecting portion is also provided with a first through hole 15 penetrating both side walls for pivotally connecting the supporting legs 20. In this embodiment, the number of the connecting sections 14 and the through holes 15 is three.

The plurality of support legs 20 are in the shape of a long groove. The groove has a first end 23 and a second end 24. The first end is also provided with two second through holes 21A and 21B for pivotally connecting the first through hole 15. , the inner side of the two side walls of the first end 23 of the supporting foot faces the outer side of both side walls of the fixed part connecting section 14, and a pivot 30 passes through the two second through holes 21A and 21B of the first end 23 of the supporting foot and is connected. The first perforation of the segment is 15. When the tripod is expanded to the maximum, the first end edge 22 abuts the connecting section connecting portion 16 so that the support legs 20 are opened to a set angle. In this embodiment, the number of supporting legs is three.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3. The tapered surface 11 of the inner tapered space of the fixing part 10 of the present invention can be combined with the tapered end 51 of the cane, thereby achieving a stable combination.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 4 and 5. There is another thread 17 on one side of the inner tapered surface 11 of the fixing part 10 for coupling with the tapered end thread 52 of the cane to achieve a locking combination. its role.
