ダーに関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a holder for fixedly supporting a compact camera for taking pictures with the compact camera.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

周知のように、最近コンパクトカメラの普及が
めざましく、海に山にと、コンパクトカメラをメ
モ替りに持ち歩いている人が多い。 As is well known, the popularity of compact cameras has been remarkable recently, and many people carry their compact cameras with them as memos, whether they are at the beach or in the mountains.

しかし、ちよつと一人でまたは仲間皆んなと記
念撮影といつた時、カメラを支承するものがな
く、当惑している人をよくみかける。 However, when it comes to taking pictures alone or with friends, I often see people confused because they don't have anything to support the camera with.

カメラ用スタンドが知られている（例えば、実公
昭63−30877号公報参照）。 Conventionally, various types of camera tripods and stands have been proposed.For example, although not particularly shown, an arm member is rotatably attached to the outer surface of one of a pair of clamping pieces that constitute a clothespin-like clip. At the same time, a metal fitting for fixing the camera via the pan head is attached to the tip of the arm member, and a screw means for opening and closing the gripping piece is provided on the gripping piece of the clip, and the screw of the screw means is provided. A camera stand having a structure in which the camera is attached to a plate-shaped object, etc. by pinching a pair of clamping pieces in a mating operation, and is placed on the ground, etc. to support the camera by expanding the clamping pieces by unscrewing the screw means. is known (for example, see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-30877).

けるという問題点を有していた。 However, with conventional camera stands,
An arm member is pivotally attached to the outer surface of one of the pair of clamping pieces that make up the clip, and the camera is attached to the tip of the arm member via a metal fitting and a pan head. The problem is that when the pair of clamping pieces are unscrewed and placed on the ground, etc. with the camera attached, the camera position becomes higher by the length of the arm member, resulting in a lack of stability. It had

る等の問題点を有していた。 In addition, the clip can be attached to or removed from a plate-like object by screwing the clip, in other words, by turning the screw head with your fingers and screwing the male screw into the female screw against the elasticity of the spring member. This allows the pair of clamping pieces to be closed and clamped onto a plate-shaped object, etc., and then removed by loosening the male screw, which is not only very troublesome and time-consuming, but also requires the screw of the male screw to be removed. It takes a considerable amount of effort to tighten them together, and if they are not tightened enough or are not tightened properly, there are problems such as they may come off due to a small external force or the camera may become misaligned. .

承することができる。 According to the present invention, the height of the entire boulder is the total height of the clip 1 and the pan head 8, and compared to the conventional one, the height of the boulder is reduced by the height of the arm member, making the whole boulder more compact. At the same time, the pan head 8 to which the compact camera is attached is provided at the center of the pair of clamping pieces 2 and 3 (in other words, the clip 1) via the common support shaft 5, and is not supported by a conventional cantilever. Since it is not provided at the tip of the arm member, when the pair of leg rods 13 and 14 are opened and placed on a horizontal surface, the camera can be supported in a stable posture.

なく、安心して使用し撮影することができる。 Further, according to the present invention, to clamp a plate-shaped object, a rod-shaped object, etc. through the clip 1, it is only necessary to operate the pair of clamping pieces 2 and 3 with fingers, etc., instead of screwing the object one by one with fingers as in the conventional method. Since there is no need to insert, tighten, and loosen the screws, which is a complicated and labor-intensive operation, it is easy to handle and can be clamped securely. There is no need to worry about the camera being misaligned or being damaged due to the holder coming off due to poor screwing, etc., so you can use it and take pictures with confidence.
