Abstract

The camera support includes a plate (3) beneath which is a supporting telescopic leg (4) extending to reach to the ground. Two further supporting shafts (5a,5b) extend horizontally from the plate and are intended to be placed against a vertical wall (6). The camera support includes a plate (3) with a rotary joint (7) supporting the camera itself (2). Beneath the plate there is a supporting leg (4) which is telescopic, and may be extended to reach to the ground. Two further supporting shafts (5a,5b) are provided. These extend horizontally from the plate and are intended to be placed against a vertical wall (6). The shafts are held in diverging slots on the plate, and retained with clamps. The section of plate in which the shafts are held may be linked to the main camera support by a hinge allowing adjustment of the angle between the two shorter shafts, and the supporting leg.

II est deja connu des supports d'appareil de prise de vue, dits tripodes, qui comportent trots pieds articules a leur sommet sur une plaque sur laquelle 1'appareil est monte au moyen d'une rotule. Un dispositif articule a trots branches, en etoile, solidarise les pieds en ecartement et permet, une fois deploye, d'assurer l'ecartement des pieds  Camera supports, known as tripods, are already known which have three feet articulated at their top on a plate on which the camera is mounted by means of a ball joint. An articulated device with three branches, in a star shape, secures the feet apart and, once deployed, allows the feet to be kept apart

Lors du transport, il faut replier le dispositif 3 trots branches pour rassembler les trots pieds. Pour diminuer l'encombrement, les pieds vent habituellement telescopiques. Par construction, un tel ensemble est lourd et encombrant, et il ne peut etre normalement utilise que sur un sol plan. On conna^'t egalement des dispositifs de support qui ne comportent qu'un seul pied, que 1'operateur tient a la main lors des prises de vue. Mais dans ce cas, la stabilite n'est que legerement amelioree par rapport a un maintien manuel de l'appareil de prise de vue sans dispositif  During transport, it is necessary to fold the device 3 trots branches to gather the trots feet. To reduce clutter, the feet are usually telescopic. By construction, such an assembly is heavy and bulky, and it can normally only be used on level ground. Support devices are also known which have only one foot, which the operator holds in his hand when taking pictures. But in this case, the stability is only slightly improved compared to manual maintenance of the camera without a device

La plaque 3 se presente sous la forme d'un trapeze symetrique par rapport au plan bissecteur P1 et presente pres de sa petite base un niveau allonge 16 et un niveau spherique 17. Wile comporte sur sa grande base une oreille 23 disposee entre deux oreilles laterales 24a et 24b prevues sur la piece complementaire 20. Ces trots oreilles presentent des alesages coaxiaux pour recevoir l'axe transversal 22 qui est immobilise dans l'oreille 23 de la plaque 3 par deux vis 25a et 25b qui cooperent avec des meplats formes a la peripherie de l'axe transversal 22. Les oreilles 23, 24a et 24b presentent des surfaces externes hemicylindriques centrees sur leurs alesages afin de permettre le pivotement de la piece complementaire  The plate 3 is in the form of a trapezium symmetrical with respect to the bisector plane P1 and presents near its small base an elongated level 16 and a spherical level 17. Wile has on its large base an ear 23 disposed between two lateral ears 24a and 24b provided on the complementary piece 20. These ear trots have coaxial bores to receive the transverse axis 22 which is immobilized in the ear 23 of the plate 3 by two screws 25a and 25b which cooperate with flats formed at the periphery of the transverse axis 22. The ears 23, 24a and 24b have external hemicylindrical surfaces centered on their bores in order to allow the pivoting of the complementary part
