Description
Dispositif de fixation rapide d'un appareil de Prise de vues sur un plateau de tréPied. Device for quick attachment of a Camera on a tripod tray.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de fixer rapidement et sans risque de chute, un appareil de prise de vues, tel qu'un appareil vidéo ou une caméra, sur un plateau de trépied. The present invention relates to a device for fixing quickly and without risk of falling, a camera, such as a video device or a camera, on a tripod plate.
Les appareils de vidéo et caméra utilisés actuellement sont relativement lourds. Lors de leur fixation sur un plateau de trépied, pendant que l'on serre les moyens de fixation avec une main et alors que l'appareil n'est plus retenu que par une seule main, il existe le risque réel, si le centre de gravité de l'appareil est mal centre sur le plateau, que celui-ci bascule brusquement autour de son axe de pivotement horizontal, et que l'appareil soit projeté sur le sol. Le risque de chute est encore plus probable si par inadvertance, l'opérateur a oublié de serrer les moyens de fixation ou si ces derniers se sont desserrés. The video and camera devices currently used are relatively heavy. When fixing them on a tripod plate, while tightening the fixing means with one hand and when the camera is only held by one hand, there is a real risk, if the center of the gravity of the device is badly centered on the platform, that it swings abruptly around its horizontal pivot axis, and that the device is projected onto the ground. The risk of falling is even more likely if the operator inadvertently forgot to tighten the fastening means or if the latter have become loose.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients et à cet effet elle propose un dispositif de fixation rapide et avec sécurité d'un appareil de prise de vues sur un plateau de trépied qui se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend une platine métallique sur laquelle l'appareil de prise de vues peut être fixé et qui peut elle-même être fixée sur le plateau du trépied par serrage de ses bords entre une butée fixe et une butée mobile verrouillable dans une position écartée où elle libre la platine et dans une position de blocage où elle coince la platine, cette dernière étant munie sur lesdits bords d'ergots saillants susceptibles d'entrer en appui contre les butées pour s'opposer au glissement accidentel de la platine sur le plateau. The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and to this end it provides a device for fast and secure attachment of a camera on a tripod plate which is characterized in that it comprises a metal plate on which the camera can be fixed and which can itself be fixed on the tripod tray by clamping its edges between a fixed stop and a movable stop lockable in a separated position where it frees the stage and in a position blocking where it wedges the plate, the latter being provided on said edges of protruding lugs capable of coming into abutment against the stops to oppose the accidental sliding of the plate on the plate.
Un mode de réalisation de l'invention sera décrit à présent en détail en regard du dessin annexé dans lequel 2
La figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée montrant les différents éléments du dispositif de fixation ;
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant le plan II-II de la figure 1 t et
La figure 3 est une vue en perspective de la butée mobile.An embodiment of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the attached drawing in which 2
Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the various elements of the fixing device;
Figure 2 is a sectional view along the plane II-II of Figure 1 t and
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the movable stop.
Le dispositif de fixation comprend une platine 10 réalisée par exemple à partir d'une plaque métallique rectangulaire dont les bords longitudinaux sont recourbés pour former des flancs 12, 14 inclinés à angle obtus par rapport au plan de la plaque. La platine peut également être constituée par une pièce métallique rectangulaire de section trapézoidale. The fixing device comprises a plate 10 produced for example from a rectangular metal plate whose longitudinal edges are curved to form flanks 12, 14 inclined at an obtuse angle relative to the plane of the plate. The plate can also be constituted by a rectangular metal piece of trapezoidal section.
La platine est percée d'un trou 16 et de lumières oblongues 18 permettant un positionnement précis de vis 20 pour la fixation de la platine à tous types d'appareils de prise de vues 22. The plate is pierced with a hole 16 and oblong slots 18 allowing precise positioning of screws 20 for fixing the plate to all types of cameras 22.
Comme le montre la figure 2, la platine 10 peut être fixée sur un plateau 24 de trépied en la serrant entre une butée rectiligne fixe 26, de section en forme de queue d'aronde formée sur la face supérieure du plateau et une butée pivotante 28 qui fait également saillie sur la face supérieure du plateau. As shown in FIG. 2, the plate 10 can be fixed on a tripod plate 24 by clamping it between a fixed rectilinear stop 26, of dovetail-shaped section formed on the upper face of the plate and a pivoting stop 28 which also protrudes from the top of the tray.
La butée pivotante est constituée par un tronçon de profilé métallique sensiblement plat, muni sur l'un de ses bords longitudinaux de deux brides 30, 32 perpendiculaires au plan général du profilé et portant un axe 34. Celui-ci est monté tourillonnant, en position parallèle à la butée fixe 26 dans deux paliers 36 fixés sous le plateau 24. La butée pivotante est disposée sensiblement verticalement et son bord longitudinal supérieure passe à travers une lumière allongée 32 percée dans le plateau1 parallèlement à la butée fixe 26. Ledit bord longitudinal est recourbé de façon à former un flanc 38 légèrement incliné vers la butée fixe. The pivoting stop is constituted by a section of substantially flat metal profile, provided on one of its longitudinal edges with two flanges 30, 32 perpendicular to the general plane of the profile and carrying an axis 34. The latter is mounted journalled, in position parallel to the fixed stop 26 in two bearings 36 fixed under the plate 24. The pivoting stop is arranged substantially vertically and its upper longitudinal edge passes through an elongated opening 32 pierced in the plate 1 parallel to the fixed stop 26. Said longitudinal edge is curved so as to form a sidewall 38 slightly inclined towards the fixed stop.
La lumière 32 est suffisamment large pour permettre un débattement de la butée pivotante 28 entre une position ouverte pour laquelle l'écaxtement du flanc 38 à la butée fixe 26 est sensiblement supérieur à la largeur totale de la platine 10, et une position verrouillée pour laquelle ledit écartement est égal à la largeur de la platine. The lumen 32 is wide enough to allow movement of the pivoting stop 28 between an open position for which the spacing of the sidewall 38 to the fixed stop 26 is substantially greater than the total width of the plate 10, and a locked position for which said spacing is equal to the width of the plate.
La butée pivotante est montée de façon à basculer normalement vers sa position ouverte, et à cet effet, son centre de gravité est décalé vers la droite sur la figure 2 par rapport à l'axe 34. The pivoting stop is mounted so as to tilt normally towards its open position, and for this purpose, its center of gravity is shifted to the right in FIG. 2 relative to the axis 34.
Une vis 40 que l'on peut actionner au moyen d'une poignée 42 est prévue pour solliciter la butée pivotante vers sa position verrouillée. La vis prend appui sur une nervure de renforcement 44 formée sur la butée pivotante. A screw 40 which can be actuated by means of a handle 42 is provided to urge the pivoting stop towards its locked position. The screw bears on a reinforcing rib 44 formed on the pivoting stop.
La platine 10 est nettement plus longue que les butées fixe et pivotante. Aux extrémités de ses flancs inclinés 12, 14 sont fixés des ergots 46 dont le rôle sera expliqué par la suite. The plate 10 is significantly longer than the fixed and pivoting stops. At the ends of its inclined sides 12, 14 are fixed lugs 46 whose role will be explained later.
On décrira à présent le mode de montage de l'appareil de prise de vues 22 sur le plateau 24. Pour cela, on fixe tout d'abord l'appareil sur la platine 10 au moyen des vis 20. On présente ensuite au-dessus du plateau 24 l'appareil muni de la platine, puis on applique l'un des flancs de la platine, par exemple le flanc 12, contre la butée fixe 26 en queue d'aronde. L'autre flanc 14 de la platine peut alors être posé sur le plateau, puisque la butée pivotante 28 est en position écartée. Au moyen de la vis 40, on amène la butée pivotante à sa position fermée. La platine 10 est alors bloquée entre la butée fixe à profil en queue d'aronde 26 et le flanc incliné 38 de la butée pivotante. The method of mounting the camera 22 on the plate 24 will now be described. For this, the camera is first fixed to the plate 10 by means of the screws 20. Next, we present above of the plate 24 the device provided with the plate, then one of the sides of the plate is applied, for example the side 12, against the fixed stop 26 in dovetail. The other side 14 of the plate can then be placed on the plate, since the pivoting stop 28 is in the separated position. By means of the screw 40, the pivoting stop is brought to its closed position. The plate 10 is then locked between the fixed stop with dovetail profile 26 and the inclined flank 38 of the pivoting stop.
Dans le cas où la vis 40 est mal bloquée, les ergots 46, en venant en appui contre les butées fixe 26 et pivotante 28, empêchent la platine 10 de s'échapper du plateau en glissant vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière. In the case where the screw 40 is badly blocked, the lugs 46, coming to bear against the fixed 26 and pivoting 28 stops, prevent the plate 10 from escaping from the plate by sliding forward or backward.
Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention permet donc de fixer rapidement et avec sécurité les appareils de prise de vues même les plus lourds. De plus, en faisant glisser légèrement l'ensemble de l'appareil et de la platine sur le plateau, il est possible d'équilibrer le poids de l'appareil sur le plateau. The fixing device according to the invention therefore makes it possible to quickly and safely fix even the heaviest cameras. In addition, by slightly sliding the entire device and the plate on the tray, it is possible to balance the weight of the device on the tray.
Il va de soi que la platine peut avoir une forme autre que rectangulaire et que la butée mobile peut être conçue différemment. Elle peut être par exemple mobile en translation au lieu d'etre pivotante. It goes without saying that the plate can have a shape other than rectangular and that the movable stop can be designed differently. It can for example be movable in translation instead of being pivoting.
