JPH04352973A - Part for chantging ski stock into camera stand and ski stock type camera stand using the part - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To use a ski stock easily converted as a camera stand by forming a camera fixing screw part in one end of a bar-shaped member and a screw part, screwed to a thread hole in a ski stock top part, in the other end. CONSTITUTION:A grip 6 is fixed by a screw(bolt 8) through a rubber-made protective cap 7 to a top part of a ski stock. In the case of utilizing the ski stock thus obtained as a camera fixing stand, a bar-shaped member is formed with a camera fixing screw part 1 in one end and a screw part 2, aligned to a screw hole in a ski stock top part, in the other end and also, as necessary, using a mounting part A of providing a driver part 3 for turning the screw 8 in an intermediate part. That is, after the screw part 1 of this mounting part is screwed to a camera, the other screw part 2 is screwed to the screw hole in the ski stock top part, and a lower end part of the ski stock is pierced into snow or the like to support the camera in a rising attitude.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Technical Field] The present invention relates to a component for using a ski pole as a support when taking pictures with a camera, a video camera, etc. on a ski slope, etc., and a component that is screwed into a screw hole at the top of the ski pole. Regarding a ski pole type photography stand.

2. Description of the Related Art Tripods have conventionally been used as camera stands, but there has been a problem in that the tripods are not stable on soft surfaces. It is especially difficult to use a tripod in areas with deep snow, such as on the slopes, and it is also uncomfortable for skiers to carry a tripod with them when skiing. Therefore, the emergence of a stand that can stably function as a stand on soft ground, such as deep snow, is extremely desirable, and is especially good news for those who enjoy skiing.

0003

[Object] An object of the present invention is to provide a new component that allows ski poles to be used as a stand in areas where the ground is soft, particularly in deep snow, and to provide a stand for a ski pole-type camera using the component.

0004

[Structure] The first aspect of the present invention is that at least the upper and lower parts are rod-shaped members, and one of the rod-shaped members has a threaded portion for fixing the photographing device, and the other has a threaded portion that aligns with the screw hole at the top of the ski pole. The present invention relates to a part for converting a ski pole into a stand for a photographic device. The second aspect of the present invention is that the cross member is provided with a threaded portion for fixing the photographing device at the top in the vertical direction, a threaded portion that aligns with the screw hole at the top of the ski pole at the bottom, and one side of the cross member in the horizontal direction is provided with a threaded portion for fixing the camera. This invention relates to a part for converting a ski pole, which is characterized by having a driver function, into a stand for a photographic device. The third aspect of the present invention is that in the screw hole at the top of the ski pole,
The present invention relates to a stand for a ski pole-type photographic device, characterized in that the threaded portion of the component according to claim 1 or 2 is screwed into the stand. The photographing device may include a camera;
Includes video cameras, movie cameras, etc. The present invention
This cleverly takes advantage of the fact that the bolts 8 that secure the ski pole grips 6 are of the same standard regardless of manufacturer (see Figure 5). FIG. 5(a) is a cross-sectional view of the ski pole, and FIG. 5(b) is a plan view seen from above. FIG. 1 shows an example of the component of the present invention defined in claim 1. In this figure, the threaded part for the photographing device and the threaded part for the ski pole are provided continuously, but the threaded part for the photographing device 1 has a length corresponding to the depth of the screw hole of the photographing device,
The remaining parts can be left unthreaded or provided with a stop. The stop portion may be a simple protrusion without 3 or 4 in FIG. 2. The stop portion preferably has a shape in which one stop portion serves as both a stop portion for a camera and a stop portion for ski poles. The same thing can be said about the side of the ski pole thread. It is preferable that the end face of the threaded part 1 for the camera be provided with a + thread groove or a - thread groove for screwing the ski stock thread into the threaded hole at the top of the ski stock. Reference numeral 7 denotes a protective cap made of plastic or rubber, which covers the threaded portion of the camera that protrudes from the grip when the camera is normally used as a stock. When using the stock as a stand, remove this cap 7 and fix the camera to the screw. Since the screws are always fixed in the stock in this way, there is an advantage that there is no need to carry a separate screwdriver. FIG. 2 shows an example of the component of the present invention defined in claim 2. 1 in the diagram
2 is a threaded part for a photographic device, 2 is a threaded part for ski poles, and 3 is a driver part (the one shown is a screwdriver for + screws). 4 is a hole provided at the end opposite to the driver side. Although the presence of this hole is not an essential requirement, if the hole 4 is provided in this manner, a string or chain can be passed through the hole 4 to prevent the possibility of loss. The same thing can be said about the relationship between the threaded part for the camera and the threaded part for the ski pole as in the parts of claim 1. Further, in both the type shown in FIG. 1 and the type shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable that the tip portion is at least tapered or pointed in order to fit the screw into the hole of the ski pole. Claim 1
Or, in order to attach the part of the invention according to claim 2 to a ski pole, remove the existing screw fixing the grip 6 to the cane part 5 of the ski pole shown in FIG. By attaching it in the manner shown in FIG. 3 or FIG.

[0005]

[Effects] The parts for converting the ski pole of the present invention into a stand for photographic equipment are small and have a simple structure, so a skier can simply put it in his pocket and essentially carry a tripod with him. It is possible to have an advantage that is at least as good as that of A ski pole-type camera stand made using this part is significantly more stable than a tripod on soft ground or deep in the snow. By using this method, you can obtain photos and videos without camera shake,
It is also possible to take pictures of yourself.
