Detailed Description

Technical contents, objects, and advantages of the present invention will be described below by way of some exemplary embodiments and accompanying drawings, which are provided for illustrative purposes only and not for limiting the present invention, and are sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to easily understand and implement the technical contents of the present invention. Some conventional structures and elements may be schematically shown in order to keep the drawings clean, and some features may be slightly enlarged or changed in scale or size for the convenience of viewing and understanding the technical features of the present invention, but these are not intended to limit the present invention.

First, referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a camera belt 2 suitable for a camera, and as shown in the figure, the camera belt 2 may include a belt body 8 and a fixing device 1 suitable for a camera 9. The camera 9 may be, but is not limited to, any commercially available camera that may have one or more camera strap assembly structures 91 thereon. The camera strap assembly 91 may be, but is not limited to, a metal ring or a metal lug with a hole additionally fixed to the camera 9, or a structure integrally formed with the camera housing to surround a through hole. The fixing device 1 can be detachably arranged on the camera belt assembling structure 91 to assemble the belt body 8 on the camera 9; in other words, the strap 8 may be detachably connected to the camera 9 via the fixing device 1. The strap 8 may be, but is not limited to, any form of commercially available camera harness or wrist strap. For example, the strap 8 may be a camera strap or a wrist strap with a circular cross-sectional shape, and thus is a round rope as a whole, but the utility model is not limited thereto; for example, the belt body of the camera belt in other embodiments may be in the form of a flat rope.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in the present embodiment, the fixing device 1 may include a first member 10, a second member 20, and a holder 30. One part of the first member 10 is adapted to be directly provided to the camera strap assembly structure 91 of the camera 9, and another part of the first member 10 may be received in the second member 20. The second member 20 is adapted to secure one end of the tie body 8. The retainer 30 is adapted to slidably fit over the strap 8, and thus slidably fit over the second member 20 along the strap 8 to removably retain the portion of the first member 10 received in the second member 20. The first member 10, the second member 20 and the holder 30 are described in detail as follows.

The first member 10 may include an assembling portion 11 and a mounting portion 12 connected to each other. The assembling portion 11 may be, but not limited to, made of a suitable material (e.g., nylon) having flexibility and tensile strength. For example, the assembling portion 11 may be in a rope shape, and the assembling portion 11 may be connected to one side of the mounting portion 12 to form a closed ring shape, and the assembling portion 11 is adapted to be inserted into a space surrounded by the camera belt assembling structure 91 of the camera 9 and wound around the camera belt assembling structure 91. The mounting portion 12 may be, but is not limited to, formed of the same material as the assembling portion 11 or another suitable material (e.g., rubber, plastic). The mounting part 12 may be, for example, in a spherical shape, and the mounting part 12 can pass through a space surrounded by the assembling part 11 to facilitate winding of the assembling part 11 passing through the camera band assembling structure 91 around the camera band assembling structure 91.

The second member 20 is generally cylindrical and has a hole 21 and a receiving groove 22 communicating with each other. The hole 21 may be, but is not limited to, an elongated groove located on an end surface of the second member 20 and extending radially inward from an outer annular surface of the second member 20, and the assembling portion 11 of the first member 10 is adapted to be removably and movably inserted through the hole 21. The receiving groove 22 may be, but not limited to, a groove located on an outer circumferential surface of the second member 20, the mounting portion 12 of the first member 105 is adapted to be removably or removably received in the receiving groove 22, and the mounting portion 12 is movable relative to the second member 20 when received in the receiving groove 22. For example, the mounting portion 12 can rotate relative to the second member 20 when being received in the receiving groove 22. It can be seen that the surface forming the receiving groove 22 or the shape of the receiving groove 22 has at least a partial contour matching the mounting portion 12. In addition, the receiving groove 22 has at least a size or a volume enough to prevent the received mounting portion 12 from protruding from the outer surface of the second member 20.

The second member 20 may further have a belt fixing portion 25 located at the other end of the second member 20 relatively far away from the hole 21, that is, the hole 21, the accommodating groove 22 and the belt fixing portion 25 are located at the two opposite ends of the second member 20 respectively. The tape fixing portion 25 is a structure for fixing one end of the tape 8 on the second member 20, and the tape 8 may be fixed to the tape fixing portion 25 in any suitable manner. For example, a part of one end of the tape 8 can be inserted into the tape fixing portion 25 and be fixed to the tape fixing portion 25 by means of screws, rivets, heat fusion, press fitting, adhesives, etc.

The retainer 30 is generally cylindrical, the retainer 30 is adapted to be sleeved on the belt 8 so as to slide along the belt 8, and the retainer 30 is further adapted to be sleeved on the second member 20 so as to have a first position (as shown in the following fig. 7) and a second position (as shown in fig. 2 and 4). When the retainer 30 is at the first position, the retainer 30 is not in a state of shielding the receiving groove 22 of the second member 20, so the mounting portion 12 of the first member 10 can be placed into the receiving groove 22 or taken out from the receiving groove 22. When the retainer 30 is at the second position, the retainer 30 covers at least a part of the receiving groove 22, thereby blocking the path of the mounting portion 12 from entering and exiting the receiving groove 22, so that the mounting portion 12 of the first member 10 can be restricted in the receiving groove 22 at this time.

Alternatively, the second member 20 may have a first engaging portion 23, and the holding member 30 may have a second engaging portion 31, for this purpose, the second member 20 may further have a groove 24 and an elastic member 7 received in the groove 24, the groove 24 may be located on an outer circumferential surface of the second member 20, the elastic member 7 may be, but not limited to, any suitable compression spring, the first engaging portion 23 of the second member 20 may be a block or a cylinder, the first engaging portion 23 may be movably disposed at the groove 24 via the elastic member 7, and the second engaging portion 31 of the holding member 30 may be a through hole adapted to allow the first engaging portion 23 to pass through. When the retainer 30 is at the first position, the second engaging portion 31 of the retainer 30 does not correspond to the first engaging portion 23 of the second member 20, so that the first engaging portion 23 can be pressed by the retainer 30 to compress the elastic member 7. When the retainer 30 is at the second position, the second engaging portion 31 of the retainer 30 corresponds to the first engaging portion 23 of the second member 20, so that the elastic member 7 can make the first engaging portion 23 removably pass through the second engaging portion 31, thereby fixing the retainer 30 at the second position.

Please refer to fig. 5-7 to describe how the strap 8 is assembled to the camera 9 by the fixing device 1. First, as shown in fig. 5, the user can first insert the assembly portion 11 of the first member 10 into the camera strap assembly 91 of the camera 9, and then insert the mounting portion 12 of the first member 10 into the space surrounded by the assembly portion 11 as shown by the arrow, so that the assembly portion 11 can be quickly wound around the camera strap assembly 91.

Next, as shown in fig. 6, the mounting portion 12 may be placed in the receiving groove 22 of the second member 20, wherein the assembling portion 11 may pass through the hole 21 of the second member 20. Next, as shown in fig. 7, the retainer 30 can be slid along the belt 8 as indicated by the arrow to be sleeved on the second member 20. In the process, the holder 30 moves to the second position as shown by the arrow, and the holder 30 can gradually shield the receiving slot 22 to block the path of the mounting portion 12 departing from the receiving slot 22, so as to achieve the state shown in fig. 4. At this time, the mounting portion 12 can be limited in the receiving slot 22 by the retainer 30, and when the retainer 30 reaches the second position, the first engaging portion 23 of the second member 20 can pass through the second engaging portion 31 of the retainer 30 to maintain the retainer 30 at the second position.

By the above operation, the user can mount the camera belt 2 in the state shown in fig. 4, at this time, the mounting portion 12 can be stably maintained in the accommodating groove 22 by the holding member 30, and since the mounting portion 12 is spherical, the fixing device 1 allows the second member 20 and the belt body 8 connected thereto to perform a rotational movement with respect to the first member 10 and the camera 9 connected thereto, and in the application where the belt body 8 is either flat rope or round rope, the user will not have the problems associated with the conventional camera belt caused by the folding.

After that, the user only needs to press the first engaging portion 23 to make the first engaging portion 23 exit the second engaging portion 31, for example, to slide the retainer 30 back to the first position to release the restriction of the mounting portion 12, so that the first member 10 can be removed from the second member 20 to quickly remove the strap 8 from the camera 9. In the process, referring to fig. 4 and continuing to refer to fig. 8, optionally, the holder 30 may further have a first stopping structure 33, and the first stopping structure 33 may be a protrusion structure located at one end of the holder 30 and extending radially inward. When the retainer 30 returns to the first position, the first engaging portion 23 is driven by the elastic member 7 to protrude outward and abut against the first stopping structure 33, so as to stop the retainer 30 at the first position.

On the other hand, as shown in fig. 4 and 8, optionally, the retainer 30 may further have a second stop structure 35, and the second stop structure 35 may be a protrusion structure located at the other end (e.g., opposite to the first stop structure 33) of the retainer 30 and extending radially inward. When the retainer 30 moves from the first position to the second position, the second member 20 can abut against the second stop structure 35, so as to stop the retainer 30 at the second position.

While the foregoing advantages can be achieved, the fixing device and the camera belt including the fixing device are not limited to the foregoing embodiments, for example, referring to fig. 9, another embodiment of the present invention provides a camera belt 2 ', which is different from the foregoing camera belt in that the mounting portion 12 ' of the first member 10 ' of the fixing device 1 ' can be cylindrical, and accordingly, the accommodating groove 22 ' of the second member 20 ' of the fixing device 1 ' has a contour matching with a partial shape of the mounting portion 12 ', in this configuration, when the mounting portion 12 ' is accommodated in the accommodating groove 22 ', the mounting portion 12 ' can still perform a rotational movement relative to the second member 20 ', so that the fixing device 1 ' allows the second member 20 ' and the belt body 8 connected thereto to perform a rotational movement relative to the first member 10 ' and the camera connected thereto, in an application where the belt body 8 is either flat rope or round rope, the user does not have the problems associated with the conventional camera belt by folding.

In addition, the first engagement portion 23 'of the second member 20' may be an external thread, and correspondingly, the second engagement portion 31 'of the retainer 30' may be an internal thread adapted to engage with the first engagement portion 23 ', and in this configuration, the retainer 30' may be moved to the second position by the second engagement portion 31 'engaging with the first engagement portion 23' of the second member 20 ', and when the retainer 30' is moved to the second position, the retainer 30 'may still cover the receiving groove 22' and restrain the mounting portion 12 'in the receiving groove 22'.

With the fixing device and the camera strap including the fixing device according to the embodiments of the present invention, since the first member of the fixing device can be used to wind the camera strap assembly structure of the camera, and another portion of the first member can be placed in the receiving groove of the second member and then fixed in the receiving groove by the fixing member, the user can easily assemble the strap body to the camera or disassemble the strap body from the camera. In addition, due to the shape of the first member in the accommodating groove of the second member, the second member and the belt body connected with the second member can rotate relative to the first member and the camera connected with the second member, so that in the application of the belt body in a flat rope or round rope shape, a user can not have the related problems caused by folding of the traditional camera belt.
