DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a smartphone is used as a photographing device, and a reflection photography aid 10 that aids in reflection photography using the smartphone will be described. FIG. 1 shows a reflection photography aid 10, a mirror 20, and a smartphone 30 used in reflection photography. FIG. 1(a) is a side view of the reflection photography aid 10, etc., when photographing a reflection, FIG. 1(b) is a plan view of the reflection photography aid 10, etc., when photographing a reflection, and FIG. 1(c) is a front view of the reflection photography aid 10, etc., when photographing a reflection.

[0010] The reflection photography support tool 10 is attached to an end of a plate-shaped mirror 20, and in this state holds the smartphone 30 above the mirror. In this state, reflection photography is performed by the smartphone 30 using the reflection of the mirror 20.

[0011] Mirror 20 is a flat mirror having a rectangular shape in a plan view. Mirror 20 has a short side length of about 100 to 200 mm and a long side length of about 150 to 250 mm, for example. The upper surface of mirror 20 in the figure is reflective surface 21. Mirror 20 is a glass mirror, a resin mirror (acrylic mirror), a stainless steel mirror, or the like.

[0012] The mirror 20 is preferably one that suppresses excessive reflection of sunlight. For example, it is preferably a mirror that can absorb or transmit light. A mirror whose reflective surface is colored, such as black, can be used. The mirror 20 may also have a thin film sheet laminated on the reflective surface to clarify or protect it.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 2, the smartphone 30 is a plate-shaped mobile communication terminal. Of the two surfaces in the thickness direction of the smartphone 30, the operation surface (front surface) of the smartphone 30 is shown in Fig. 2(a), and the back surface of the smartphone 30 is shown in Fig. 2(b).

[0014] The smartphone 30 has an operation surface provided with a display screen 31 and operation buttons 32. The smartphone 30 has a camera lens 33 on its rear surface. The display screen 31 is a touch panel screen that allows a user to operate the touch panel. The operation buttons 32 are operation members for performing various operations of the smartphone 30, and in a camera shooting mode, an image is captured by the camera lens 33 in response to a user pressing the operation button 32. When taking a picture with the camera, the camera lens 33 is directed toward a subject (a subject) to be photographed, whereby the subject is displayed on the display screen 31, and in this state, an image is captured by the camera lens 33 by operating the operation button 32.

[0015] The smartphone 30 has a quadrilateral plate shape that is substantially rectangular when viewed from the front, and has a first side 35 and a second side 36 that are short sides and opposed to each other. The camera lens 33 is provided near the first side 35 on the rear side of the smartphone 30. The operation button 32 is provided near the second side 36 on the operation surface side of the smartphone 30. Basically, as shown in FIG. 2(a), various operations are performed on the smartphone 30 with the operation button 32 facing downward, but the orientation of the smartphone 30 when taking a picture with a camera may be either vertical or horizontal, and it is also possible to take a picture with the operation button 32 facing upward (i.e., the camera lens 33 facing downward).

[0016] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the reflection photography support tool 10, where (a) is a vertical cross-sectional view of the reflection photography support tool 10 and (b) is a front view of the reflection photography support tool 10.

[0017] The reflection photography support tool 10 has an attachment part 11 that is attached to the mirror 20, and a smartphone support part 12 that supports the smartphone 30. The reflection photography support tool 10 is molded from, for example, a synthetic resin.

[0018] The attachment portion 11 has a pair of clamping portions 41, 42, and a mirror insertion portion 43 is provided between the clamping portions 41, 42. The pair of clamping portions 41, 42 are spaced apart from each other by a distance equal to the thickness of the mirror 20, and are connected by a base end portion 44. The attachment portion 11 (reflection photography aid 10) is attached to the mirror 20 by inserting the mirror 20 between the pair of clamping portions 41, 42. The attachment portion 11 is attached to the plate surface of the mirror 20 by clamping both sides of the mirror between the pair of clamping portions 41, 42.

[0019] In addition, the pair of clamping parts 41, 42 may have a distance between the insertion side (left side in the figure) where the mirror 20 is inserted smaller than the thickness of the mirror 20 in a natural state where they are not attached to the mirror 20. In this case, when the mirror 20 is inserted between the pair of clamping parts 41, 42, both sides of the mirror are pressed down by the elastic force of the pair of clamping parts 41, 42. This prevents the reflection photography aid 10 from unintentionally coming off the mirror 20.

[0020] The pair of clamping parts 41, 42 may have a clip structure using a spring. Specifically, the pair of clamping parts 41, 42 may be configured to be displaceable from each other and to be biased in the closing direction by a spring.

[0021] 4, a configuration may be adopted in which a convex portion 42a (engagement portion) is provided on the lower clamping portion 42, which is the back surface of the mirror 20 (the bottom surface in the figure), of the pair of clamping portions 41, 42, and a concave portion 20a (engaged portion) engageable with the convex portion 42a is provided on the back surface of the mirror 20. In this case, when the mounted portion 11 is mounted on the mirror 20, the convex portion 42a on the mounted portion 11 side engages with the concave portion 20a on the mirror 20 side. This makes it possible to suppress misalignment of the mounted portion 11 with respect to the mirror 20.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 3, the smartphone support part 12 is provided so as to stand up from the mounted part 11. The smartphone support part 12 is provided on the upper clamping part 41 side of the pair of clamping parts 41, 42 of the mounted part 11. The smartphone support part 12 is provided with an opening 45. When the smartphone 30 is supported by the smartphone support part 12, it is possible to take a picture with the camera lens 33 of the smartphone 30 through the opening 45. The smartphone support part 12 extends in a direction intersecting from the mounted part 11 to the mirror 20 when the mounted part 11 is mounted on the mirror 20, and is capable of supporting the smartphone 30 in a state in which it supports the back side of the smartphone 30 (FIG. 1). The smartphone support part 12 corresponds to the "photographing device support part".

[0023] 1, when the smartphone 30 is supported with the camera lens 33 on the lower side and the operation button 32 on the upper side, the vertical dimension of the smartphone support part 12 in the standing direction is preferably such that the operation button 32 is above the smartphone support part 12. For example, the vertical dimension of the smartphone support part 12 is preferably about 1 / 2 the longitudinal dimension of the smartphone 30.

[0024] The mounted part 11 is provided with a positioning part 46 that positions the lower end of the smartphone 30 in a state where it is supported by the smartphone support part 12. The positioning part 46 is provided so as to protrude upward from the upper clamping part 41 (i.e., in the same direction as the smartphone support part 12). The mounted part 11 is provided with a plurality of positioning parts 46 at positions with different distances from the smartphone support part 12. Each positioning part 46 is a protrusion part that extends in the same direction as the smartphone support part 12 in a plan view (the left-right direction in FIG. 1(b)). Each positioning part 46 abuts against the lower end of the smartphone 30 and serves as a position shift suppression part that suppresses shifting away from the smartphone support part 12.

[0025] In Fig. 3(a), three positioning units 46 are provided as an example, and the inclination of the smartphone 30, in other words the direction of the camera optical axis of the smartphone 30, can be adjusted depending on which positioning unit 46 positions the lower end of the smartphone 30. In Fig. 3(a), the dashed dotted lines indicate three inclinations of the smartphone 30. If the standing angle of the smartphone 30 with respect to the reflecting surface 21 of the mirror 20 is θ, the standing angle of the smartphone 30 may be adjusted within a range of θ=70 to 90 degrees, for example.

[0026] Furthermore, in the mounted part 11, the positioning part 46 may be changeable by, for example, a slide mechanism. In short, in the mounted part 11, the positioning part 46 is a protruding part that protrudes in the same direction as the smartphone holding part 12, and the position where the positioning of the lower end part of the smartphone 30 is performed by the protruding part may be changeable in the direction away from the smartphone holding part 12.

[0027] It is also possible to provide only one positioning portion 46 on the mounting portion 11 (so that the angle of the smartphone 30 cannot be changed).

[0028] 1, in the reflection photography support device 10, the width of the mounting part 11 and the smartphone support part 12 is shorter than the width of the mirror 20. However, the width of the mounting part 11 and the smartphone support part 12 may be the same as the width of the mirror 20, or may be longer than the width of the mirror 20.

[0029] When the reflection photography support tool 10 is attached to the mirror 20, the smartphone 30 is placed vertically on the reflection photography support tool 10 with the camera lens 33 on the lower side and the operation button 32 on the upper side. In this state, the smartphone 30 is placed on the attachment part 11 of the reflection photography support tool 10, and the back side is supported by the smartphone support part 12. Then, the camera is photographed by pressing the operation button 32. At this time, a force is applied to the smartphone 30 in a direction in which the upper end side is pushed forward with the operation of pressing the operation button 32, but the positioning part 46 of the attachment part 11 hits the lower end of the smartphone 30, so that the lower end of the smartphone 30 is prevented from shifting away from the smartphone support part 12. In other words, the positioning part 46 functions as a position shift suppression part even during camera photography.

[0030] The smartphone 30 may be placed horizontally on the reflection photography assistance device 10. In this case, a landscape reflection photo can be taken.

[0031] The configuration of the mounting part 11 of the reflection photography auxiliary device 10 can be changed as follows.

[0032] 5, the height position at which the bottom end of the smartphone 30 is placed gradually increases with increasing distance from the smartphone support part 12 in the attached part 11. In this case, in the reflection photography support tool 10, when the inclination of the smartphone 30 with respect to the vertical direction increases, the position of the camera lens 33 retreats with respect to the front end of the reflection photography support tool 10 (shifts to the right in the figure), but by gradually increasing the position of the bottom end of the smartphone 30, it is possible to prevent the attached part 11 from appearing in the reflection photo.

[0033] 6, the mounting portion 11 may have an inclined plate portion 47 extending from the upper clamping portion 41. The inclined plate portion 47 is provided with a plurality of positioning portions 46. The inclination angle of the inclined plate portion 47 with respect to the reflecting surface 21 of the mirror 20 may be, for example, about 10 to 25 degrees.

[0034] In Fig. 7, the attachment part 11 is configured to be detachably fixed to the upper surface of the mirror 20. As a fixing means, for example, fixing by a magnet is considered. Specifically, a metal plate 61 is attached to the upper surface of the mirror 20, and a magnet 62 is attached to the attachment part 11. The magnet 62 is a sheet-like magnet attached to the lower surface of the attachment part 11, or a magnet embedded in the attachment part 11. Then, the attachment part 11 sticks to the metal plate 61 on the mirror 20 side due to the magnetic force of the magnet 62, and the reflection photography aid 10 is attached to the plate surface of the mirror 20.

[0035] The reflection photography auxiliary tool 10 and the mirror 20 can be housed in a case 70. Fig. 8 shows the reflection photography auxiliary tool 10 and the mirror 20 housed in the case 70. In this case, the reflection photography auxiliary tool 10, the mirror 20, and the case 70 constitute a reflection photography unit RU.

[0036] The case 70 is, for example, a container having a flattened rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a size capable of housing the entire mirror 20. The case 70 has a case body 71 having a bottomed box shape, and a lid 72.

[0037] The reflection photography support tool 10 is housed in the case 70, for example, with the mounting part 11 mounted on the mirror 20. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the smartphone support part 12 may be rotatable with respect to the mounting part 11 by the shaft part 73. When housed in the case, the smartphone support part 12 may extend in the same plane as the mounting part 11 and may be rotated so that the smartphone support part 12 overlaps the mirror 20. In the reflection photography support tool 10, the mounting part 11 and the smartphone support part 12 may be separable and assembleable from each other.

[0038] The case 70 may be capable of housing a plurality of mirrors 20 of different sizes. The plurality of mirrors 20 may, for example, have both vertical and horizontal dimensions different from each other, or have either the vertical or horizontal dimensions different from each other. The plurality of mirrors 20 may be housed stacked in the case 70. The plurality of mirrors 20 may have different specifications for their reflective surfaces. For example, the plurality of mirrors 20 may have different reflectivities, or the plurality of mirrors 20 may have different colors for their reflective surfaces.

[0039] The mirror 20 and the reflection photography aid 10 may be housed within the case 70 with the mounting portion 11 removed from the mirror 20.

[0040] When reflection photography using the reflection photography auxiliary tool 10 is not performed, the reflection photography unit RU can be carried around with the mirror 20 and the reflection photography auxiliary tool 10 stored in the case 70.

[0041] The reflection photography aid 10 may have a configuration as shown in FIG.

[0042] In the reflection photography support tool 10 shown in FIG. 10, a hand-held portion 80 that can be held by the photographer is provided in the clamping portion 42 on the lower side of the attached portion 11. The hand-held portion 80 is provided so as to extend in a direction intersecting the mirror 20 on the lower surface side of the mirror 20. The hand-held portion 80 is a grip that can be held by the photographer. In this configuration, in the direction intersecting the smartphone 30 (the left-right direction in FIG. 10(a)), the length of the clamping portion 42 on the lower side of the attached portion 11 is longer than the length of the clamping portion 41 on the upper side, and the hand-held portion 80 is provided in the clamping portion 42 at a position closer to the center of the mirror than the smartphone support portion 12.

[0043] When performing reflection photography, the photographer holds the handheld unit 80 with one hand (e.g., the left hand) in the state shown in Fig. 10, and presses and operates the operation button 32 of the smartphone 30 with the other hand (e.g., the right hand). This makes it easy to photograph the subject.

[0044] The hand-held part 80 may be detachable from the lower clamping part 42. This prevents the hand-held part 80 from getting in the way when carrying the reflection photography support tool 10. The hand-held part 80 may be stored in the case 70 in a state separated from the attachment part 11. Alternatively, the hand-held part 80 may be extendable or foldable.

[0045] According to the present embodiment described above in detail, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

[0046] The reflection photography support tool 10 having the above configuration is attached to the mirror 20 at the attachment part 11. In addition, with the reflection photography support tool 10 attached to the mirror 20, the smartphone 30 is supported by the smartphone support part 12 in a direction intersecting with the reflective surface 21 of the mirror 20. In this state, reflection photography is performed by the smartphone 30. According to this configuration, the smartphone 30 is supported on the mirror 20, and the smartphone 30 can be installed in an appropriate positional relationship with the mirror 20 while making it difficult to cause restrictions on the size of the mirror 20. As a result, the desired reflection photography can be easily performed.

[0047] The attachment part 11 of the reflection photography support device 10 is configured to have a positioning part 46 for positioning the lower end part of the smartphone 30. This makes it easy to adjust the position of the smartphone 30, i.e., to adjust the optical axis of the camera lens 33 relative to the mirror 20.

[0048] In the mounting part 11, the position where the lower end of the smartphone 30 is positioned by the protruding part as the positioning part 46 is configured to be changeable in the direction away from the smartphone support part 12. This makes it possible to easily change the inclination of the smartphone 30 supported by the smartphone support part 12, i.e., the angle of the optical axis of the camera lens 33 with respect to the mirror 20, depending on the subject to be photographed (photograph), etc.

[0049] The positioning portion 46 of the mounting portion 11 is provided so as to protrude in the same direction as the smartphone support portion 12, and serves as a position shift suppression portion that abuts against the lower end of the smartphone 30 and suppresses the smartphone 30 from shifting away from the smartphone support portion 12. This suppresses the inconvenience of the smartphone 30 shifting in position due to the force of the pressing operation even if the operation button 32 of the smartphone 30 is pressed when taking reflection photographs.

[0050] The reflection photography support tool 10 is configured such that the smartphone support part 12 is provided on one of the pair of clamping parts 41, 42 at the attachment part 11. In this case, the reflection photography support tool 10 can be easily attached to the mirror 20 in a stable state by the pair of clamping parts 41, 42.

[0051] In the attachment part 11 of the reflection photography support device 10, a hand-held part 80 that can be held by the photographer is provided on the side of the clamping part 42 that is not provided with the smartphone support part 12 out of the pair of clamping parts 41, 42. This allows the photographer to easily photograph the subject while holding the mirror 20 on the underside of the mirror.

[0052] The hand-held portion 80 on the underside of the mirror is removable, extendable, or foldable, which prevents the hand-held portion 80 from getting in the way when carrying the reflection photography aid 10.

[0053] (Other embodiments) The above embodiment can be modified, for example, as follows.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the reflection photography support device 10 is configured such that the hand-held portion 80 is provided on the clamping portion 42 on the lower side of the attachment portion 11, but instead of this configuration, it is also possible to configure the hand-held portion 91 to be provided on the underside of the mirror 20 as shown in Figure 11. The hand-held portion 91 is provided so as to protrude from the underside of the mirror 20.

[0055] In a configuration in which the hand-held portion 91 is provided on the underside of the mirror 20, the thickness dimension when the mirror 20 is accommodated in the case 70 becomes large. On the other hand, for example, in the reflection photography support tool 10 shown in FIG. 1, the attached portion 11 and the smartphone support portion 12 extend in a direction intersecting with each other, and the height dimension of the smartphone support portion 12 (the vertical dimension in FIG. 1) is larger than the width dimension in the direction intersecting with the smartphone support portion 12 in the attached portion 11 (the horizontal width dimension in FIG. 1). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, in the reflection photography unit RU, it is preferable that the attached portion 11 extends in the plate thickness direction of the mirror 20 (the protruding direction of the hand-held portion 91) and the smartphone support portion 12 faces the plate surface of the mirror 20, so that the reflection photography support tool 10 is accommodated in the case 70.

[0056] As shown in Fig. 13, the attachment portion 11 of the reflection photography support device 10 may be provided with wall portions 48 at positions on both the left and right sides of the surface direction of the smartphone 30. The wall portions 48 are members that prevent the smartphone 30 attached to the reflection photography support device 10 from falling off. The wall portions 48 may be movable in a direction approaching the smartphone 30 (up and down in Fig. 13(b)). This allows the smartphone 30 to be attached to the reflection photography support device 10 while being supported from both the left and right sides by the wall portions 48.

[0057] The mirror 20 may have markings to indicate the attachment position of the reflection photography aid 10.

[0058] The mirror 20 may have a reflective area and a non-reflective area on the plate surface on which the smartphone 30 is attached. For example, one of a pair of short sides on one surface of the mirror 20 may be partially made a non-reflective area. Then, the reflection photography aid 10 may be attached to the non-reflective area of ​​the mirror 20.

[0059] It is also possible to have the reflection photography assistant tool 10 hold a tablet terminal having a display screen on one side (operation surface) and a camera lens on the other side (back surface) as a photography device. In this case, reflection photography is performed using the tablet terminal.

[0060] As shown in Fig. 14, it is also possible to take reflection photographs using a large mirror 100, a reflection photographing aid 10, and a smartphone 30. The mirror 100 may have an area of, for example, about 3 to 5 square meters. In this case, the reflection photographing aid 10 may be attached to the mirror 100, and reflection photographs may be taken in that state. [Explanation of symbols]
