Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a camera holder for holding a camera. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there has been known a device (see, for example, Patent Document 1) for capturing still or moving images including a user as a subject from a position a certain distance away from the user by attaching a camera to the end of a long, thin support.

[0003] The above-mentioned device requires the user to hold the support in their hand. Therefore, for example, when shooting content such as movies or television programs, the user must hold the support for a long period of time, which places a strain on the user's hand and makes the device unsuitable. Furthermore, in the video captured with the above-mentioned device, the user's hand is always holding the support, which can result in unnatural footage. Furthermore, since the user must constantly hold the support, one hand is always occupied, which is inconvenient.

[0004] In response to this, Patent Document 2 describes a wearable camera holder that is worn on the user's body and includes a shoulder pad configured to be worn on at least one of the user's right shoulder or left shoulder, a belt-shaped member connected to one end of the shoulder pad and configured to be wrapped around the user's torso and connected to the other end of the shoulder pad, a rod-shaped member having one end connected to the shoulder pad and extending from the shoulder pad so that the other end is located between the front and side of the user's face when the user wears the shoulder pad, and a camera fixing part provided on the other end of the rod-shaped member for fixing a camera.

[0075] 9, when the camera holder 1 is transported, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, and 33 are disassembled, and the lower sides of the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, and 33 are fastened together by the loop 111d of the string 111a of the shaft fastener 111, and fixed by the cord lock 111b. In this case, the string 111a is threaded through the through-hole 31a of the first rod-shaped member 31 (see FIGS. 2 and 6).

[0076] As shown in FIG. 10 , the shaft fastener 112 has a string 112a threaded through a cord lock 112b. When a button 112c is pressed, the cord lock 112b unlocks the string 112a, allowing the loop 112d of the string 112a to be enlarged or reduced. Furthermore, the cord lock 112b locks the string 112a when the button 112c is not pressed. When the camera holder 1 is transported, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, and 33 are disassembled, and the upper sides of the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, and 33 are fastened together by the loop 112d of the string 112a of the shaft fastener 112 and secured by the cord lock 112b. In this case, the string 112a is threaded through the through-hole 31b of the first rod-shaped member 31.

[0077] As shown in Figure 11, when using the camera on the camera holder 1, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 and the first and second connecting members 41, 42 are assembled to form the assembled rod-shaped member 3, and further, the mounting member 2 is attached to one end of the first rod-shaped member 31, and the camera fixing member 5 is attached to the other end of the second rod-shaped member 32, and the 360-degree camera 120 is attached to the camera fixing member 5.

[0078] The mounting member 2 of the camera holder 1 is attached to a belt 103 of a backpack 102 worn by a user 101 by wrapping a tie band 8 (see FIG. 6 ). The upper side of the first rod-shaped member 31 is held to the upper side of the backpack 102 by a belt 104 of the backpack 102. The user 101 can take pictures with the 360-degree camera 120 while sliding down a snowy field on a snowboard 105.

[0079] Here, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 are made of carbon pipes with a thickness of 1 mm, while the first and second connecting members 41, 42 have a structure in which inner carbon pipes 41a, 42a made of carbon pipes with a thickness of 2 mm are stacked on top of ring-shaped members 41b, 42b made of carbon pipes with a thickness of 1 mm.

[0080] As a result, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 have lower strength when bent than the first and second connecting members 41, .

[0081] Therefore, if the user falls and the assembly rod member 3 supporting the camera fixing member 5 is damaged, the first to third rod members 31, 32, 33 are more likely to be damaged than the first and second connecting members 41, 42. When the user repairs the first to third rod members 31, 32, 33, they can be easily formed from commercially available carbon pipes without any processing, by simply cutting or drilling holes, and repairs do not require effort, cost, or time.

[0082] The elastic cord 6 is inserted through the hollow of the assembly rod-shaped member 3, and the hook portion 24b of the mounting member 2 is hooked onto the loop portion 61 at one end, and the hook portion 54a of the camera fixing member 5 is hooked onto the loop portion 62 at the other end, and is configured to bias the mounting member 2, the camera fixing member 5, the multiple rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33, and the connecting members 41, 42 in a direction to prevent disassembly.The camera holder 1 can be easily disassembled by removing the loop portion 61 of the elastic cord 6 from the hook portion 24b of the mounting member 2, or by removing the loop portion 62 of the elastic cord 6 from the hook portion 54a of the camera fixing member 5.

[0083] Therefore, the camera holder 1 can be easily disassembled into separate parts: the mounting member 2, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33, the first and second connecting members 41, 42, the camera fixing member 5, and the expandable cord 6. The first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 can be replaced easily and inexpensively.

[0088] Furthermore, the camera holder 1 includes an attachment member 2 that is attached to an accessory worn by a user, a first rod-shaped member 31 that is formed in a cylindrical shape and has one end to which the attachment member 2 is detachably attached, a second rod-shaped member 32 that is formed in a cylindrical shape, a first connecting member 41 that is formed in a cylindrical shape and detachably connects the other end of the first rod-shaped member 31 to one end of the second rod-shaped member 32, a third rod-shaped member 33 that is formed in a cylindrical shape, a second connecting member 42 that is formed in a cylindrical shape and detachably connects the other end of the second rod-shaped member 32 to one end of the third rod-shaped member 33, and a third connecting member 42 that is formed in a cylindrical shape and has one end to which the third rod-shaped member 33 is detachably attached. and a stretchable string 6 which is elastic and formed in a string shape and which passes through cavities in the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 and the first and second connecting members 41, 42 to connect the mounting member 2 and the camera fixing member 5, and which biases the mounting member 2, the camera fixing member 5, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33, and the first and second connecting members 41, 42 in a direction to prevent disassembly, and the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 have lower strength when bent than the first and second connecting members 41, 42.

[0089] According to the camera holder 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 are assembled by detachably connecting them in series via the first and second connecting members 41, 42, so that the rod-shaped members can be easily removed and replaced. Furthermore, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 have lower bending strength than the first and second connecting members 41, 42. Therefore, if a user falls and the assembled rod-shaped member 3 supporting the camera fixation member 5 is damaged, there is a high probability that the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33, which have a simple structure, will break. Repair of the damage can be performed quickly, easily, and inexpensively, providing user convenience.

[0090] In the camera holder 1 shown in Figures 1 to 11, the assembly rod-shaped member 3 is composed of the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33 and the first and second connecting members 41, 42, but various other combinations of rod-shaped members and connecting members are also applicable, such as a combination of two rod-shaped members and one connecting member, or a combination of four rod-shaped members and three connecting members.

[0091] <Modification of the first embodiment> A modification of the first embodiment will be described below. In the camera holder 1 of the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 11, the connection parts between the mounting member 2, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33, the first and second connecting members 41, 42, and the camera fixing member 5 are in a detachable state, but in the camera holder of the modified example of the first embodiment, the connection parts between the mounting member 2, the first to third rod-shaped members 31, 32, 33, the first and second connecting members 41, 42, and the camera fixing member 5 are in a fixed state by bonding.

[0092] As a camera holder, it is preferable that these members are detachable, but even if they are joined (by welding, adhesive, welding, etc.), there is an advantage in that the parts that would not be costly to break are intentionally made fragile and broken, allowing damage to be repaired easily and inexpensively in a short time. For example, even if the second connecting member 42 and the second rod-shaped member 31, and the first connecting member 41 and the first rod-shaped member 31 are bonded together, this is cheaper than the camera fixing member 5 and the mounting member 2, which is an advantage.
