Description

Technical Field

[0001] [Cross - reference to Related Applications] This application claims the priority of a Chinese utility model patent application with application number 202520211096.X, titled "Camera Strap Pendant Mechanism", which was filed on February 11, 2025. All the contents of the above application and its amended contents are incorporated into this application by reference.

[0002] This utility model relates to the technical field of camera strap pendant in camera assembly, specifically to a camera strap pendant mechanism.

Background Art

[0003] In conventional technology, camera straps and cameras (or other photographic equipment) are typically connected and loaded via an intermediate connecting member installed between them. Such arrangements generally involve assembling the camera strap and the intermediate connecting member, and the intermediate connecting member and the camera separately. That is, most camera straps are flexible, forming loops through the intermediate connecting member via through-holes, grooves, or wrap-around methods, maintaining positional stability primarily through friction or the strap's own folds. Because the structural design of the intermediate connecting member focuses on achieving connection and load, the engagement with the strap is generally a "freely passable" drilling state, making it difficult to synchronously clamp or lock the strap at the connecting member. This results in the strap easily sliding relative to the connecting member during use, further causing the camera to move around on the user's body surface, increasing shaking and affecting carrying comfort and shooting stability. To meet the needs of strap length adjustment, positioning, and fixing in different usage scenarios, conventional technology often requires the addition of independent striker mechanisms, clamping structures, or anti-slip components to lock or stop the strap. However, the addition of strikers not only increases the number of parts and assembly steps, improving manufacturing costs and structural complexity, but also potentially leading to problems such as increased volume, more operating steps, and loosening due to mis-contact. As a result, the intermediate connecting member is functionally responsible for only a single connecting action, making it difficult to achieve integrated control of connection and locking, and the overall user experience still has room for further improvement. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0004] This invention provides a camera strap pendant mechanism to solve the problems proposed in the background art described above. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the invention, this invention employs the following technical approach.

[0006] A camera strap pendant mechanism, The pendant group includes a set of pendants in which assembly cavities are formed at both the top and bottom ends, where a camera strap and photographic equipment are assembled. The assembly cavity is provided with an interlocking member, which forms a locking force that acts on the camera strap after receiving a force, and is characterized in that it causes the assembly cavity to move along the camera strap.

[0007] Furthermore, the system further includes a drive mechanism that acts on the interlocking member and performs linear reciprocating motion or rotational reciprocating motion within the assembly cavity, wherein the drive mechanism causes the interlocking member to perform linear reciprocating motion during motion.

[0008] Furthermore, the interlocking member is configured such that, during linear reciprocating motion, the strap pressing surface on the interlocking member presses against or releases the camera strap.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a linear push rod, a cam, or a scissor-type lifting structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the interlocking member has a wedge-shaped structure, and a pressing force acting on the camera strap is formed on the wedge-shaped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, a trigger section is provided at the bottom of the wedge-shaped structure, which is linked to the drive mechanism. When the drive mechanism moves to a set position, the trigger section begins to generate the locking force.

[0012] Furthermore, a camera strap clamping cavity is formed at the top of the assembly cavity, and the camera strap in the clamping cavity is either clamped or released by the movement of the interlocking member.

[0013] Furthermore, the system includes control buttons that control the interlocking members to receive a force in either the forward or reverse direction.

[0014] Furthermore, a locking cavity is formed at the bottom of the assembly cavity, and the photographic equipment is assembled to be detachably attached to the locking cavity by fasteners.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the fastener is movably connected to the assembly cavity via the locking cavity, and the other end is connected to the photographic equipment via a connecting member. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0017] This invention first utilizes an assembly cavity to assemble the photographic equipment and camera strap via their respective ends, not only ensuring the connection between the photographic equipment and camera strap, but also requiring only one set of pendants and further saving the number of assembly tools.

[0018] Next, by adding an interlocking component within the assembly cavity and controlling the interlocking component, a locking force can be generated in the camera strap, allowing the camera strap to directly have the ability to lock and unlock within the assembly cavity, thereby increasing and improving the functionality of the pendant group.

[0019] Finally, because the assembly cavity can move along the camera strap, this method allows for positioning different parts of the camera strap within the assembly cavity. Furthermore, after adjusting the length of the camera strap, the locking position of the camera strap can be adjusted according to the needs. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0021] The following describes the technical method in the embodiments of the present invention clearly and completely, linking it with the drawings of the embodiments. Clearly, the embodiments described are partial embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The description of at least one exemplary embodiment below is for illustrative purposes only and should not be used in any way as an arbitrary limitation on the present invention and its applications or use. All other embodiments derived based on the embodiments of the present invention without the creative effort of a person skilled in the art are all within the scope of the protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is solely for the purpose of describing modes for carrying out the invention and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments provided in this application. As used herein, unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, and furthermore, when the terms “include” and / or “contain” are used herein, it should be understood that they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, assemblies and / or combinations thereof.

At the same time, for the sake of ease of description, the sizes of the parts shown in the drawings are not depicted to actual scale. While technologies, methods, and apparatus known to the general articulate to the art may not be discussed in detail, it should be understood that, where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and apparatus should be considered part of the license specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as illustrative and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. Similar symbols and letters represent similar items in subsequent drawings; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it is not necessary to discuss it further in subsequent drawings.

[0024] This invention addresses the technical problems of conventional camera straps, which are generally attached to an intermediate connecting member using a piercing method, making it difficult to achieve effective clamping and locking of the strap during connection. This results in the strap being prone to slipping during use, causing the equipment to shake and move around, and often requiring the addition of a striker structure, thus increasing complexity. By providing a camera strap pendant mechanism, an interlocking member and its drive structure are installed within the through-assembly cavity of the pendant group. This allows the strap to switch between "adjustable slide" and "stable lock" in the clamping cavity, and securely connect the equipment in the locking cavity, thereby integrating connection and locking and improving mounting stability. The following describes specific embodiments of this invention in detail, with reference to the drawings.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1-8, this embodiment of a camera strap pendant mechanism includes a pendant group 1, which is a pendant body formed by integral molding or assembly of multiple members, on which an assembly cavity is formed, which is installed pendantly extending vertically, and a camera strap 2 and photographic equipment 3 are assembled at the upper and lower ends of the assembly cavity, respectively, where the camera strap 2 is preferably a strip-shaped flexible member and is drilled along the upper end of the assembly cavity, and the photographic equipment 3 is located at the lower end of the assembly cavity and is fixed relative to the pendant group 1 by a connecting structure, thereby enabling the assembly and transport of the camera strap 2 and photographic equipment 3 together. An interlocking member 4 is provided inside the assembly cavity, which forms a locking force that acts on the camera strap 2 after receiving force, causing the assembly cavity to move along the camera strap 2, and when the locking force is reinforced, it limits the slippage of the assembly cavity relative to the camera strap 2, thereby meeting the stability requirements in use.

[0026] In other embodiments (not shown), the pendant group 1 may be assembled using a split case structure (e.g., upper case / lower case or left and right butt joint case) in addition to integral molding, and the cases may be fixed together by screws, snaps, rivets or ultrasonic welding, where the assembly cavity may be configured as a filleted rectangular cavity, a T-shaped guide cavity or a slide cavity with guide rails, depending on the case, to improve the consistency and durability of the locking / unlocking operation by providing a stable straight guide by the interlocking member 4 and reducing the risk of snagging.

[0027] In this embodiment, since the user typically hangs the camera strap 2 directly on their body during use, and the photographic equipment 3 naturally hangs downwards due to its weight, both are positioned at opposite ends of the assembly cavity and assembled in a relatively rational manner, realizing an integrated pendant assembly of the camera strap 2 and photographic equipment 3. By positioning the camera strap 2 and photographic equipment 3 at the upper and lower ends of the assembly cavity, the equipment hangs naturally along the direction of gravity, and the path through which the force of the camera strap 2 is received is made clearer, resulting in better force distribution and wearing experience when walking, lifting, or adjusting posture.

[0028] In this embodiment, an interlocking member 4 is installed inside the assembly cavity. Compared to a simple pass-through assembly, the interlocking member 4 enables locking of the camera strap 2 within the pendant group 1, further improving the overall pendant design. At the same time, the simple pass-through assembly increases locking and prevents the camera strap 2 from sliding within the assembly cavity. During use, the photographic equipment 3, located at the bottom of the assembly cavity, is also fixed in its relative position, further reducing the sliding of the photographic equipment 3 against the user's body due to the camera strap 2 sliding within the assembly cavity. By directly forming a controllable locking force on the camera strap 2 inside the assembly cavity, the relative displacement between the camera strap 2 and the pendant group 1 is reduced, further reducing the shaking and movement of the photographic equipment 3 on the user's body surface, thereby improving wearing stability and operating comfort.

[0029] In this embodiment, increasing the number of interlocking members 4 results in a simpler pendant group 1, further diversifying its functions and reducing the need to independently add functions such as the locking mechanism for the additional camera strap 2, thereby improving the user experience.

[0030] Specifically, as can be seen by referring to the drawings, in this embodiment, a clamping cavity 1-1 and a locking cavity 1-2 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the assembly cavity, respectively. Here, the clamping cavity 1-1 is located at the upper end of the assembly cavity and is used for drilling and clamping the camera strap 2, while the locking cavity 1-2 is located at the lower end of the assembly cavity and is used for fastening and locking the photographic equipment 3. After the camera strap 2 passes through the clamping cavity 1-1, the movement of the interlocking member 4 grips or releases the camera strap 2 that has passed through the clamping cavity 1-1, thereby achieving a clamped state or a released state, and the pendant group 1 is switched between "adjustable movement" and "stable lock". Generally, it is stored in an open state before use, but the clamped state is more suitable for preventing the camera strap 2 from becoming disheveled during use. As long as the camera equipment 3 is properly assembled in the locking cavity 1-2, the user can carry the camera strap 2 with the camera equipment 3 attached on their back, making it easy to transport.

[0031] In this embodiment, the interlocking member 4 is positioned close to the clamping cavity 1-1 in the assembly cavity in order to facilitate the direct application of a clamping action to the strap segment in the clamping cavity 1-1. At this time, it is sufficient to increase or decrease the clamping gap formed by the clamping cavity 1-1 by moving the interlocking member 4 closer to or further away from the locking cavity 2. When the gap is large, the camera strap 2 and the clamping cavity 1-1 can move, and when the gap is small, the camera strap 2 is fixed and cannot move. In this process, it is generally necessary to drive the relevant controls by a drive mechanism.

[0032] First, the motion control of the interlocking member 4 in this embodiment will be described in detail as follows.

[0033] Referring to the drawing, the assembly further includes a drive mechanism 5 that acts on the interlocking member 4 and performs linear or rotational reciprocating motion within the assembly cavity in order to move the interlocking member 4 and form a locking force, wherein the drive mechanism 5 causes the interlocking member 4 to exhibit linear reciprocating motion during its movement. This reciprocating motion causes the interlocking member 4 to form a regular motion, and such regularity leads to a tendency for the locking force to increase and decrease, and further completes locking or unlocking in this process. At this time, the motion mode of the drive mechanism 5 within the assembly cavity is not limited to one type, and is used to allow selection of different motion modes of the drive mechanism based on cost, space, etc. Thus, the interlocking member 4 can be switched between a locked position and an unlocked position by the action of the drive mechanism 5, thereby adjusting the clamping force on the strap segment and outputting a locking force.

[0034] In the above motion, since the clamping cavity 1-1 is located at the top of the assembly cavity, the interlocking member 4 needs to perform a linear reciprocating motion up and down to adjust the size of the clamping cavity 1-1. Furthermore, regardless of whether the drive mechanism 5 is linear or rotational, it moves the strap pressing surface 4-1 on the interlocking member 4 to press or release the camera strap 2, thereby creating a "slidable or non-slidable" state switch for the camera strap 2 in the clamping cavity 1-1. At this time, the strap pressing surface 4-1 may have multiple sawtooth-like structures. Compared to a flat surface that directly forms the pressing force, the sawtooth structure increases the frictional force formed and strengthens the locking force formed, further reducing the risk of the camera strap 2 unintentionally slipping out of the assembly cavity during use.

[0035] In other embodiments (not shown), in addition to using a clamping gap structure for drilling the strap 2, the clamping cavity 1-1 may be equipped with guide rollers, stopper shoulders, or replaceable pad members (e.g., rubber pads, silica gel pads, abrasion-resistant fabric pads) to accommodate strip-shaped straps of different widths / thicknesses, where the strap pressing surface 4-1 of the interlocking member 4 may be a knurled surface, a corrugated surface, or a rubber-coated friction surface in addition to a sawtooth structure, or a composite pressing surface structure of a "rigid pressing block + elastic layer" may be used to ensure locking force while simultaneously reducing wear on the strap surface.

[0036] In other embodiments (not shown), the housing of pendant group 1 may be fitted with a non-slip texture, lightweight openwork rib positions, or a covering soft adhesive layer to enhance grip and operational stability, where the material of pendant group 1 is preferably metal or plastic, but in addition, a composite structure of a metal frame and an engineering plastic housing may be used to achieve an optimal balance between strength, weight and appearance, or materials such as wear-resistant reinforced nylon, aluminum alloy, or titanium alloy may be used.

[0037] Referring to Figures 9-14, in this invention, the drive mechanism 5 may be one of a linear push rod, a cam, or a scissor-type lifting structure.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, a linear push rod is directly installed in the assembly cavity with respect to a drive mechanism 5 formed by a linear push rod, and the top of the linear push rod is fixedly connected to the interlocking member 4. At this time, the interlocking member 4 is moved up and down by the action of a motor or the like to adjust the position of the clamping cavity 1-1.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present invention, a cam system is selected, and referring to Figures 11-12, the top of the cam 5-1 contacts the interlocking member 4, and as the cam 5-1 rotates, different positions contact the interlocking member 4, causing forward rotation to raise the interlocking member 4 and reverse rotation to lower the interlocking member 4. In this case, the rotation of the cam 5-1 within the assembly cavity may be axial or radial. The cam here may be replaced by a rotating rod.

[0040] Of course, referring to Figures 11-12, the end of cam 5-1 may be hinged to the bottom of the interlocking member 4. When cam 5-1 is rotated directly or indirectly in this case, a force is generated on the interlocking member 4 during the rotation of cam 5-1, causing the camera strap 2 to be pressed or separated, and further adjusting the clamping space in the clamping cavity 1-1.

[0041] In another embodiment of this invention, referring to Figures 13-14, the scissor-type lifting structure 5-2 is selected, and the interlocking member 4 is raised or lowered while the scissors are closing or opening. By selecting one of the above drive implementation methods to suit the structural volume, cost, and operating method, the feasibility and scope of application of the solution can be improved.

[0042] In other embodiments (not shown), the drive mechanism 5 may also drive the reciprocating motion of the interlocking member 4 using a knob screw, gear rack, lever ratchet, or slider paddle structure, in addition to a linear push rod, cam 5-1, or scissor-type lifting structure 5-2. Here, the locking release buttons 1-3 and locking buttons 1-4 may be replaced with a single paddle-type switching member, rotary dial, or push-pull slide button, which, in combination with the pin 6, can be configured as a ball head positioning pin, spring stopper, or pole return stopper structure, thereby reducing the number of components and improving the reliability of blind operation.

[0043] Next, the interlocking member 4 in a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described as follows.

[0044] In this embodiment, in order to assemble the camera strap 2 located in the clamping cavity 1-1 while simultaneously locking it within the assembly cavity, the interlocking member 4 exhibits a wedge-shaped structure, and a pressing force acting on the camera strap 2 is formed on the wedge-shaped structure. By installing the wedge-shaped structure, the interlocking member 4 can effectively convert the amount of displacement into an output of clamping force on the camera strap 2 when it is displaced, thereby achieving the formation and reinforcement of a locking force. In this embodiment, a certain inclined surface is formed at the bottom of the wedge-shaped structure, and the subsequent drive mechanism 5 comes into contact with the inclined surface at different heights during linear motion or rotation, applying and adjusting the locking force. A trigger portion of the wedge-shaped structure may be formed at the bottom of the inclined surface, and it is further directly interlocked with the drive mechanism 5. When the drive mechanism 5 rotates or moves linearly to a set position, the drive mechanism 5 begins to interlock with the interlocking member 4, and at this time the trigger portion begins to generate a locking force. The set position here is specifically the locking position or the unlocking position.

[0045] In other embodiments (not shown), the interlocking member 4 may use a double-sided clamp structure in addition to a single pressing member, i.e., a first pressing member and a second pressing member are installed on both sides of the clamping cavity 1-1, respectively, and are synchronously interlocked by the same drive mechanism 5 to make the force on the strap 2 more uniform and the locking more reliable, where the two pressing members can be symmetrical wedges, swing arm jaws or parallel clamp block structures to accommodate wider or thicker straps 2.

[0046] To facilitate control of the interlocking member 4, a preferred embodiment of the present invention further includes control buttons that control the interlocking member 4 to receive a force in the forward direction or a force in the reverse direction. That is, referring to the unlock button 1-3 and locking button 1-4 in 1-6, the user can unlock or lock the clamping cavity 1-1 of the camera strap 2 using different buttons, in which case the unlock button 1-3 and locking button 1-4 constitute the formation of the drive mechanism 5.

[0047] Referring to Figure 15, in actual use, the lock release button 1-3 is located on the front side, while the locking button 1-4 is located on the side. A spring pin is installed inside the locking button 1-4, and when the locking button 1-4 is pressed, it moves toward the inside of the assembly cavity, pushing the pin 6 inside the spring into the locking groove 1-5 of the lock release button 1-3. At the same time, the case of the locking button 1-4 contacts the wedge at the bottom of the interlocking member 4, causing it to move upward. This movement not only restricts the possibility of the camera strap 2 moving downward, but the upward movement also allows the camera strap 2 to complete its locking within the assembly cavity at this time. On the other hand, when the locking release button 1-3 is pressed, the locking groove 1-5 moves, causing the pin 6 to move backward within the assembly case. The compression spring on the outside of the pin 6 receives force, generating a certain twist in the pin 6. Similar to a torsion spring, the pin 6 then detaches from the case of the locking release button 1-3, and the force acting on the spring of the locking release button 1-3 disappears, causing the spring to return to its outward position. The locking button 1-4 then retracts, and the force acting on its interlocking member 4 disappears, completing the locking release.

[0048] In other embodiments (not shown), the unlock buttons 1-3 and lock buttons 1-4 may be fitted with an additional mechanism to prevent accidental contact. For example, a button guard ring, a recessed button cavity, a sliding cover type protective member, or a dual-action trigger structure (press + slide) may be installed to reduce the risk of accidental contact and unlocking during transport. Furthermore, the button stroke may be set to segment damping or a two-stage feel to make the locking / unlocking operation clearer and more reliable.

[0049] Finally, the assembly of camera equipment 3 is described below.

[0050] Referring to the drawing, the photographic equipment 3 is specifically assembled by a fastener 7, which is detachably assembled within the locking cavities 1-2 at the bottom of the assembly cavity.

[0051] In this embodiment, one end of the fastener 7 is movably connected to the assembly cavity via the locking cavity 1-2, and the other end is connected to the photographic equipment 3 via the connecting member 8.

[0052] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism within the locking cavity 1-2 of the fastener 7 and the connection to the photographic equipment 3 can be referenced from a prior art solution with publication number CN 215075921U, where the locking cavity 1-2 corresponds to the lock cavity in the prior art, the fastener 7 corresponds to the fastener body in the prior art, the photographic equipment in this embodiment corresponds to the strap connected to the connecting member in the prior art, and the connecting member can be formed by selecting a rope structure or a connecting rod, and the photographic equipment can be directly connected to the connecting member. In this case, the fastener 7 can be locked or unlocked in the locking cavity 1-2 to increase the robustness of the connection.

[0053] In other embodiments (not shown), in addition to being used for assembling the fastener 7, the locking cavities 1-2 can also be fitted with quick-release plug-in buckle heads, carabiners / swivel rings, magnetic attraction quick buckles, or safety spring latch structures. Furthermore, in addition to ropes or connecting rods, the connecting members 8 can also use webbing loops, wire rope sheath structures, or flexible belt loop structures to meet the load-bearing, vibration damping, and weather resistance needs of different photographic equipment 3.

[0054] In this invention, through simple structural improvements, the assembly cavity on the pendant group not only enables the direct assembly of the camera strap and photographic equipment using the same structure, but also allows the camera strap to complete operations such as locking via a locking force through the interlocking members within the assembly cavity, and the movement of the assembly cavity allows the camera strap to be locked within the assembly cavity at different positions. Therefore, without the need to add an independent locking mechanism, it achieves both the adjustability of the strap position and stable locking in use, effectively reducing slippage and shaking during carrying, walking, and equipment retrieval, and improving overall reliability and user experience.

[0055] In the description of this invention, the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right," "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal," and "top, bottom" are generally based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings and are used solely to facilitate and simplify the description of this invention. Conversely, unless explicitly stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the mentioned device or element has a specific direction or must be configured and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limitations on the scope of protection of this invention. The directional terms "inside" and "outside" should be understood as being inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0056] For the sake of clarity, spatially relative terms, such as "above...", "above...", "on the top surface of...", and "on the top surface," may be used here to describe the spatial relationship between one device or feature shown in the diagram and another device or feature. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation other than those described in the device diagram. For example, if the device in the drawing is inverted, a device described as being "above another device or structure" or "on top of another device or structure" may subsequently be positioned "below the other device or structure" or "below the other device or structure." Thus, the exemplary term "above..." may include two orientations: "above..." and "below...". The device may be positioned in other different ways (90-degree rotation or other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here should be interpreted accordingly.

[0057] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define the parts is for the purpose of easily distinguishing between the relevant parts, and unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meaning and should not be understood as limitations on the scope of protection of this invention.

[0058] As stated above, these are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. To those skilled in the art, the present invention is subject to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should all be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
