Description
本発明は、携帯通信端末を収納するための携帯通信端末用ケースに関し、詳細には、静止画や動画の撮影機能を備えた携帯通信端末を収納するためのケースに関する。
The present invention relates to a case for a mobile communication terminal for storing a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a case for storing a mobile communication terminal having a still image or video shooting function.
近年、携帯電話などの携帯通信端末としていわゆるスマートフォンと呼ばれる電子デバイスが普及している。汎用的なスマートフォンは、通話機能や電子メールの送受信機能など通信端末としての機能だけでなく、静止画(写真)及び動画を撮影するための機能(撮影機能)を具備している。したがって、最近ではデジタルスチルカメラやビデオカメラの代わりにスマートフォンの撮影機能を使って人物や風景を撮影することが多くなっている。
In recent years, an electronic device called a smartphone has become widespread as a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone. A general-purpose smartphone has not only functions as a communication terminal such as a call function and an e-mail transmission / reception function, but also a function for capturing a still image (photograph) and a moving image (photographing function). Therefore, recently, people and landscapes are often photographed using the photographing function of a smartphone instead of a digital still camera or a video camera.
上記のようなスマートフォンは、薄板形状の本体部の前面中央に操作子を兼ねた表示画面(タッチパネル)を備えていると共に、本体部の前面又は背面の隅部に静止画又は動画を撮影するために用いられる撮像部(レンズ部)を備えている。
The smartphone as described above has a display screen (touch panel) that also serves as an operation element in the center of the front surface of the thin plate-shaped main body, and shoots still images or moving images at the front or back corners of the main body. An imaging unit (lens unit) used in the above is provided.
ところで、撮影者がスマートフォンで自分自身を撮影するいわゆる自分撮り(自撮り)を行う場合、従来は、撮影者がスマートフォンを持っている腕を前方に伸ばして自分自身からスマートフォンを離すことで、被写体である自分自身とスマートフォンとの間に必要な距離を確保することが行われている。
By the way, when a photographer takes a so-called self-portrait (self-portrait) of photographing himself / herself with a smartphone, the photographer has conventionally taken the subject by extending the arm holding the smartphone forward and releasing the smartphone from himself / herself. The necessary distance between yourself and your smartphone is being made.
しかしながらこのやり方では、撮影者とスマートフォンとの距離が腕の長さ分しか取れないため、撮影者と背景を所望の構図で撮影することができなかった。特に撮影者自身を含む複数人を一緒に撮影したい場合、上記のやり方では十分に引いた位置から撮影ができず、全員と所望の背景が構図に入りきらないという不都合がある。
However, with this method, the distance between the photographer and the smartphone can only be as long as the length of the arm, so the photographer and the background could not be photographed with the desired composition. In particular, when it is desired to photograph a plurality of persons including the photographer himself, there is a disadvantage in that the above method cannot photograph from a sufficiently pulled position, and the desired background cannot be obtained with all the members.
そこで、スマートフォンで自分撮りを行う際の補助具として、特許文献1に示すような支持装置が考えられている。この特許文献1に示す支持装置は、スマートフォンなどの携帯端末を保持するための保持部と、該保持部から延伸する伸縮自在な棒状の支持部とを備えて構成されている。
Therefore, a support device as shown in Patent Document 1 is considered as an assisting tool when taking a selfie with a smartphone. The support device shown in Patent Document 1 includes a holding unit for holding a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, and a telescopic rod-like support unit extending from the holding unit.
しかしながら、特許文献1に示す支持装置は、スマートフォンとは別の器具(装置)としてスマートフォンに取り付けて使用するものである。そのため、スマートフォンと一緒に常に持ち歩かなければならず、所持品が多くなるという問題がある。また、撮影する際にスマートフォンに取り付ける必要があるため、直ぐに撮影することができず絶好のシャッターチャンスを逃すおそれもある。さらに、スマートフォンに取り付けた状態では通話など他の機能を使用する際の邪魔になるうえ、そのままではスマートフォンをポケットや鞄に収納することができない。そのため、撮影の度にスマートフォンから取り外す必要があり、着脱に非常に手間がかかるという問題がある。
However, the support device shown in Patent Document 1 is used by being attached to a smartphone as a device (device) different from the smartphone. For this reason, it is necessary to always carry it with the smartphone, and there is a problem that the belongings increase. Moreover, since it is necessary to attach to a smart phone at the time of imaging | photography, there exists a possibility that a perfect photo opportunity may be missed because it cannot shoot immediately. Furthermore, when attached to a smartphone, it interferes with the use of other functions such as telephone calls, and the smartphone cannot be stored in a pocket or bag as it is. Therefore, there is a problem that it is necessary to remove it from the smartphone every time it is photographed, and it takes much time to attach and detach.
本発明は上述の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、スマートフォンなどの携帯通信端末とは別の器具や装置などを持ち歩く必要がなく、かつ、撮影の度に携帯通信端末に着脱する手間を省くことができる構成でありながら、自分撮りを行う際に所望の構図で撮影することが可能となる携帯通信端末用ケースを提供することを目的とする。
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is not to carry around a device or device other than a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone, and to be attached to and detached from the mobile communication terminal every time shooting is performed. An object of the present invention is to provide a case for a mobile communication terminal that can take a picture with a desired composition when taking a self-portrait while having a configuration that can save time and effort.

The support member 20 includes a hollow base portion 23 rotatably attached to the surface 12a of the rear wall portion 12 via a shaft portion 21, a multistage arm portion 25 housed in the base portion 23, and an arm portion 25. And a gripping portion 27 provided at the tip of the head. 2 and 4A, the base 23 is formed in a thin shape of a substantially rectangular shape extending along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) of the case body 10, and the length dimension thereof is the length of the case body 10. The dimension is smaller than the dimension in the direction. The base 23 is preferably made of the same material as the case body 10. Moreover, the arm part 25 should just be comprised with the material which is relatively lightweight and can ensure intensity | strength, for example, can be comprised with light metal, such as a hard synthetic resin material and aluminum. Further, since the grip portion 27 is a portion held by a palm or a finger, it is desirable that a non-slip groove is formed on the surface of rubber or a soft synthetic resin material.
アーム部25は、各々が略矩形の薄板状(平板状)に形成された複数段の短い連結材25aを互いに突出・収容可能に連結することにより全体が伸縮可能に構成されている。これにより、把持部27を除くアーム部25の全体が中空の基部23内に収納可能になっていると共に、基部23から引き出したアーム部25(基部23と把持部27の間の部分)を任意の長さに調節可能である。なお、基部23から引き出したアーム部25は、各段の連結材25aが互いに抜けないように抜け止めが施されている。
The arm portion 25 is configured to be extendable and contractible as a whole by connecting a plurality of short connecting members 25a each formed in a substantially rectangular thin plate shape (flat plate shape) so as to protrude and accommodate each other. As a result, the entire arm portion 25 excluding the grip portion 27 can be stored in the hollow base portion 23, and the arm portion 25 (the portion between the base portion 23 and the grip portion 27) pulled out from the base portion 23 can be arbitrarily set. It is adjustable to the length. In addition, the arm part 25 pulled out from the base part 23 is provided with a stopper so that the connecting members 25a at the respective stages do not come out from each other.
すなわち、支持部材20のアーム部25は、後壁部12の表面12aの領域A(後壁部12の表面12aの周縁部よりも内側の領域をいう、以下同じ。)内に格納された格納位置(図2に示す位置)と、この格納位置から後壁部12の表面12aの領域A外に引き出した引出位置(図1に示す位置)との間で伸縮が可能となっている。
That is, the arm portion 25 of the support member 20 is stored in the region A of the surface 12a of the rear wall 12 (referred to as the region inside the peripheral edge of the surface 12a of the rear wall 12, the same applies hereinafter). Expansion and contraction is possible between a position (position shown in FIG. 2) and a drawing position (position shown in FIG. 1) drawn out of the area A of the surface 12a of the rear wall portion 12 from this storage position.
また、アーム部25が備える複数段の連結材25aのうち、基部23に最も近い連結材25aには、アーム部25をケース本体10の前後方向に屈曲(回動)させることが可能なヒンジ部28が設けられている。アーム部25は、ヒンジ部28を支点としてその先端側(把持部27側)をケース本体10の前後方向に屈曲させることが可能である。
Further, of the plurality of connecting members 25 a provided in the arm portion 25, the connecting member 25 a closest to the base 23 is a hinge portion that can bend (turn) the arm portion 25 in the front-rear direction of the case body 10. 28 is provided. The arm portion 25 can be bent in the front-rear direction of the case body 10 with the hinge portion 28 as a fulcrum and the tip side (the gripping portion 27 side).
アーム部25は、最も収縮させたときにその全体が基部23内に収容されるようになっている。その状態で、基部23と把持部27を含む支持部材20の全体が後壁部12の表面12aの領域A内の格納位置に収まる。その一方で、アーム部25を一杯に伸長させたときは、その長さが一例としてケース本体10の長手方向の数倍程の長さになるように設定することが望ましい。
The entire arm portion 25 is accommodated in the base portion 23 when it is most contracted. In this state, the entire support member 20 including the base portion 23 and the grip portion 27 is accommodated in the storage position in the region A of the surface 12 a of the rear wall portion 12. On the other hand, when the arm portion 25 is fully extended, it is desirable to set the length to be several times as long as the longitudinal direction of the case body 10 as an example.
また、図示は省略するが、アーム部25は、一杯に延ばした状態でその長さを固定することのできるロック機能と、ヒンジ部28を任意の折曲角度又は複数種類の角度で固定することが可能なロック機構を備えている。また、アーム部25を任意の長さに延ばした状態でその長さを固定することができるロック機構を設けてもよい。

It has a lock mechanism that can be used. Moreover, you may provide the lock mechanism which can fix the length in the state which extended the arm part 25 to arbitrary length.
次に上記構成のスマートフォン用ケース1を用いてスマートフォン100で自分撮りを行うときの使用方法について説明する。図5~図7は、スマートフォン用ケース1の使い方を説明するための図で、図5A,図5Bは、支持部材20のアーム部25を引き出す手順を示す斜視図及び側断面図、図6A,図6Bは、支持部材20のアーム部25を更に引き出して延ばす手順を示す斜視図及び側断面図、図7A,図7Bは、延ばしたアーム部25を手前側に折り曲げる手順を示す斜視図及び側断面図である。
Next, a method of using the smartphone case 1 with the above configuration when taking a selfie with the smartphone 100 will be described. 5 to 7 are views for explaining how to use the case 1 for a smartphone. FIGS. 5A and 5B are a perspective view and a side sectional view showing a procedure for pulling out the arm portion 25 of the support member 20, and FIGS. 6B is a perspective view and a side sectional view showing a procedure for further extending and extending the arm portion 25 of the support member 20. FIGS. 7A and 7B are a perspective view and a side showing a procedure for bending the extended arm portion 25 toward the front side. It is sectional drawing.
まず、自分撮りの撮影を行うとき以外の通常時には、先の図2に示すように、支持部材20のアーム部25が基部23内に完全に収容された状態となっている。これにより、支持部材20はその全体がケース本体10の後壁部12の表面12aの領域A内に格納された状態となっており、スマートフォン100を持ち歩いたりポケットや鞄に収納したりする際の邪魔にならないようになっている。
First, in normal times other than when taking a self-portrait, the arm portion 25 of the support member 20 is completely accommodated in the base portion 23 as shown in FIG. Thereby, the support member 20 is in a state where the entirety of the support member 20 is stored in the region A of the surface 12a of the rear wall portion 12 of the case body 10, and when the smartphone 100 is carried around or stored in a pocket or bag. It is designed not to get in the way.
その一方で、スマートフォン100で自分撮りの撮影を行う際には、図2に示す状態から、図5に示すように把持部27をケース本体10から離れる方へ引っ張ることで、アーム部25を基部23から引き出す。さらに把持部27を引っ張ることで、図6に示すように、アーム部25を基部23から一杯に引き出して延伸させる。この状態で、アーム部25の根元近傍に設けたヒンジ部28が基部23から露出した状態となる。次に、図7に示すように、ヒンジ部28を支点にアーム部25の先端側(把持部27側)をスマートフォン100の前面側(表示画面111側)へ折り曲げることで、アーム部25及び把持部27をケース本体10に対して所望の角度に屈曲させる。この状態で、把持部27を手に持ってスマートフォン100を自分自身の前に掲げる。これにより、スマートフォン100が撮影者の前方の十分に離間した位置に配置され、スマートフォン100の表示画面111に撮影者自身及び背景が表示される。撮影者はスマートフォン100の表示画面111に表示された画像を見て撮影の構図を決定し、その状態でスマートフォン100のシャッターを作動させる。スマートフォン100のシャッターは、タイマーを設定して作動させてもよいし、遠隔操作によって作動させてもよい。
On the other hand, when taking a self-portrait with the smartphone 100, the arm portion 25 is moved to the base portion by pulling the grip portion 27 away from the case body 10 from the state shown in FIG. 23. Further, by pulling the grip portion 27, as shown in FIG. 6, the arm portion 25 is drawn out from the base portion 23 and extended. In this state, the hinge portion 28 provided near the base of the arm portion 25 is exposed from the base portion 23. Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the arm portion 25 and the gripping portion are bent by bending the front end side (the gripping portion 27 side) of the arm portion 25 toward the front side (the display screen 111 side) of the smartphone 100 with the hinge portion 28 as a fulcrum. The part 27 is bent at a desired angle with respect to the case body 10. In this state, the user holds the grip portion 27 in his hand and raises the smartphone 100 in front of himself / herself. Thereby, the smartphone 100 is arranged at a sufficiently spaced position in front of the photographer, and the photographer himself and the background are displayed on the display screen 111 of the smartphone 100. The photographer determines the composition of the shooting by looking at the image displayed on the display screen 111 of the smartphone 100, and operates the shutter of the smartphone 100 in that state. The shutter of the smartphone 100 may be operated by setting a timer, or may be operated by remote operation.
なお、構図の変更は、アーム部25の引き出し長さを加減したり、ヒンジ部28の回動角度を調整したりすることで行う。また、図7では縦向きの構図で撮影を行う場合を示しているが、これ以外にも、図4に示すように、支持部材20をケース本体10に対して軸部21を中心に回動させることで、支持部材20に支持されているスマートフォン100を縦位置だけでなく横位置にも配置することができる。これにより、縦向きの構図と横向きの構図を任意に選択することができる。また図示は省略するが、支持部材20に支持されているスマートフォン100を斜め位置に配置すれば、斜め向きの構図も選択が可能である。
Note that the composition is changed by adjusting the pull-out length of the arm unit 25 or adjusting the rotation angle of the hinge unit 28. Although FIG. 7 shows a case where shooting is performed in a vertically oriented composition, in addition to this, as shown in FIG. 4, the support member 20 is rotated around the shaft portion 21 with respect to the case body 10. By doing so, the smartphone 100 supported by the support member 20 can be arranged not only in the vertical position but also in the horizontal position. Thereby, it is possible to arbitrarily select a vertical composition and a horizontal composition. Although illustration is omitted, if the smartphone 100 supported by the support member 20 is disposed at an oblique position, an oblique composition can be selected.
撮影が終わったら、上記とは逆の手順でアーム部25を縮めて基部23に収容する。これにより、支持部材20はその全体がケース本体10の後壁部12の領域A内にコンパクトに格納された状態となる、したがって、例えば撮影中や撮影直後に電話がかかってきた場合やメッセージの着信があった場合などにも、直ちにスマートフォン100を使用することが可能となる。また、スマートフォン100をそのまま持ち歩いたりポケットや鞄にしまったりすることもできる。
When the photographing is finished, the arm portion 25 is contracted and accommodated in the base portion 23 in the reverse procedure to the above. As a result, the entire support member 20 is compactly stored in the area A of the rear wall portion 12 of the case body 10. Therefore, for example, when a call is received during or immediately after shooting, a message is displayed. Even when there is an incoming call, the smartphone 100 can be used immediately. In addition, the smartphone 100 can be carried around as it is or can be put in a pocket or bag.
以上説明したように、本実施形態のスマートフォン用ケース1によれば、前面に表示画面111を有するスマートフォン100の後面を覆う後壁部12と側面を覆う側壁部13とを備えるケース本体10と、ケース本体10の後壁部12に一体に設けられた伸縮可能なアーム部25と、アーム部25の先端に設けた把持部27と、アーム部25をケース本体10の前後方向に屈曲可能とするヒンジ部28とを含む支持部材20を備え、支持部材20は、後壁部12の表面12aの領域A内に格納された格納位置と、この格納位置から後壁部12の表面12aの領域A外に引き出した引出位置との間で伸縮が可能である。
As described above, according to the smartphone case 1 of the present embodiment, the case main body 10 including the rear wall portion 12 covering the rear surface of the smartphone 100 having the display screen 111 on the front surface and the side wall portion 13 covering the side surface, Extendable and retractable arm portion 25 provided integrally with rear wall portion 12 of case body 10, gripping portion 27 provided at the tip of arm portion 25, and arm portion 25 can be bent in the front-rear direction of case body 10.

According to this configuration, the support member 20 (arm portion 25) in the retracted position is made compact and the length of the support member 20 (arm portion 25) in the pulled-out position is secured while having a simple and lightweight configuration. Both can be achieved. Further, since the thickness of the support member 20 can be reduced, the thickness of the case body 10 and the support member 20 can be reduced.
また、本実施形態のスマートフォン用ケース1の支持部材20は、アーム部25を収納可能な基部23と、この基部23をケース本体10の後壁部12に対してその面内で回動可能とする軸部21とを備えている。
In addition, the support member 20 of the smartphone case 1 of the present embodiment includes a base 23 that can store the arm portion 25, and the base 23 can be rotated in the plane with respect to the rear wall portion 12 of the case body 10. The shaft part 21 to be provided is provided.
この構成によれば、支持部材20に支持されたケース本体10を縦位置(縦向き)と横位置(横向き)の両方に切り替えて配置することができる。これにより、支持部材20で支持したスマートフォン100を用いて縦向きの構図の撮影と横向きの構図の撮影の両方を行うことができる。したがって、スマートフォン用ケース1の支持部材20を用いて自分撮りの撮影を行う際の利便性が更に向上する。
According to this configuration, the case main body 10 supported by the support member 20 can be switched between the vertical position (vertical direction) and the horizontal position (horizontal direction). As a result, it is possible to perform both the vertical composition shooting and the horizontal composition shooting using the smartphone 100 supported by the support member 20. Therefore, the convenience at the time of taking a self-photographing using the support member 20 of the smartphone case 1 is further improved.
図8は、スマートフォン用ケース1の他の構成例を示す図である。同図に示すように、スマートフォン用ケース1は、支持部材20を後壁部12の表面12aから突出しないように後壁部12の内部に配置することも可能である。すなわち、この構成例では、支持部材20のアーム部25が後壁部12の内部(後壁部12の厚さ寸法の範囲内)に格納されるように構成している。これによれば、スマートフォン用ケース1の更なる薄型化を図ることができると共に、ケース本体10及び後壁部20のデザイン性を高めることができる。
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating another configuration example of the smartphone case 1. As shown in the figure, the smartphone case 1 can be arranged inside the rear wall portion 12 so that the support member 20 does not protrude from the surface 12 a of the rear wall portion 12. That is, in this configuration example, the arm portion 25 of the support member 20 is configured to be stored inside the rear wall portion 12 (within the thickness dimension of the rear wall portion 12). According to this, while being able to aim at further thickness reduction of the case 1 for smart phones, the design property of the case main body 10 and the rear wall part 20 can be improved.
