    •  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of a document camera device as described in an embodiment herein. The document camera device 100 has an image-capturing unit 108, which is equipped with a lens 108 a for capturing an image of a document or object, and the image is transferred to an image-displaying device (such as a monitor or projector). The image-capturing unit 108 is secured to a pedestal 102 with an elastic bendable support arm 104. The bendable support arm 104 is pivotally connected with the pedestal 102 at an end by a joint 106 and secured to the image-capturing unit 108 at an opposite end. Therefore, the image-capturing unit 108 can be adjusted to a desired position by means of the bendable support arm 104 and the joint 106 and captures a desired image. In this embodiment, the bendable support arm 104 can be made from metallic bendable tube or plastic bendable tube.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a top view of a document camera device as described in an embodiment herein. When the document camera device 100 is idle, i.e. not used to capture an image, the image-capturing unit 108 can be temporarily stored in a concave accommodation space 103 of the pedestal 102 for convenient storage and portability. As the document camera device 100 transitions from an using status (as illustrated in FIG. 1) to an idle status (as illustrated in FIG. 2), the bendable support arm 104 is swiveled along a direction 107 until the bendable support arm 104 is substantially in parallel with a level of the pedestal 102, the bendable support arm 104 is then bent to surround half of the pedestal 102, and the image-capturing unit 108 is finally inserted into the concave accommodation space 103 (as illustrated in FIG. 2). The joint 106 and the concave accommodation space 103 can be otherwise located on the pedestal 102 because of a comparing scale of a length of the bendable support arm 104 to a size of the pedestal 102. When the bendable support arm 104 is longer, the joint 106 and the concave accommodation space 103 can be located at two opposite edges of the pedestal 102, i.e. the joint 106 is located at an edge 102 a and the concave accommodation space 103 is located at an edge 102 b. When the bendable support arm 104 is shorter, the joint 106 and the concave accommodation space 103 can be located at two adjacent edges of the pedestal 102, i.e. the joint 106 is located at an edge 102 a and the concave accommodation space 103 is located at an edge 102 c.
  • In order to properly secure the image-capturing unit 108 within the concave accommodation space 103 to have a resist force against the gravitational force or vibrations, a fastening mechanism is necessarily installed within or around the concave accommodation space 103 to interlock the image-capturing unit 108. Three embodiments of the fastening mechanism are illustrated in the following.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a fastening mechanism to secure an image-capturing unit of the document camera device. A compression spring 110 a and a steel ball 110 b are installed within the concave accommodation space 103 to interlock the image-capturing unit 108. In particular, the compression spring 110 a and the steel ball 110 b are installed inside a concave hole 109 of the concave accommodation space 103. The compression spring 110 a is secured to the steel ball 110 b at an end and secured to a bottom of the concave hole 109 at an opposite end. When the image-capturing unit 108 is inserted into the concave accommodation space 103, the steel ball 110 b (exposed by the concave hole 109) interlocks a ball hole 108 b of the image-capturing unit 108 with a push force provided by the compression spring 110 a. The resist force against the gravitational force or vibrations is hereby generated. A larger force may be applied to pull the image-capturing unit 108 out of the concave accommodation space 103 or insert the image-capturing unit 108 into the concave accommodation space 103.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates another fastening mechanism to secure an image-capturing unit of the document camera device. An elastic ring 112 (such as a rubber ring), which encircles the concave accommodation space 103, is used to secure the image-capturing unit 108. When the image-capturing unit 108 is inserted into the concave accommodation space 103, a contact friction force between the elastic ring 112 and the image-capturing unit 108 would secure the image-capturing unit 108. Alternately, the elastic ring 112 can encircle the image-capturing unit 108, rather than the concave accommodation space 103. When the image-capturing unit 108 is inserted into the concave accommodation space 103, a contact friction force between the elastic ring 112 and the image-capturing unit 108 would secure the image-capturing unit 108. The resist force against the gravitational force or vibrations is hereby generated. A larger force may be applied to pull the image-capturing unit 108 out of the concave accommodation space 103 or insert the image-capturing unit 108 into the concave accommodation space 103.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates still another fastening mechanism to secure an image-capturing unit of the document camera device. A concave section 114 b is disposed within the concave accommodation space 103, and a convex member 114 a is disposed on the image-capturing unit 108. When the image-capturing unit 108 is inserted into the concave accommodation space 103, the convex member 114 a interlocks the concave section 114 b so as to generate a resist force against the gravitational force or vibrations. A larger force may be applied to pull the image-capturing unit 108 out of the concave accommodation space 103 or insert the image-capturing unit 108 into the concave accommodation space 103. The convex member 114 a can be made of elastic materials to assist easily pulling the image-capturing unit 108 out of the concave accommodation space 103 or easily inserting the image-capturing unit 108 into the concave accommodation space 103.
  • According to discussed embodiments, the document camera device of present has an image-capturing unit 108, which can be easily accommodated inside a pedestal thereof, that the document camera device can be compactly organized for convenient storage and portability.
  • It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
