Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] A camera fixing screw screwed into a bottom portion of a camera having an insertion portion for inserting a strap and a flash device fixing screw screwed into a bottom portion of a flash device are provided. In a bracket that can be combined with a flash device, prevent the camera from rotating with respect to the bracket. [Structure] A bracket is provided with a camera fixing member having one end fixed to a bracket and the other end insertable into an insertion portion for inserting a strap.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bracket for connecting a camera and a flash device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a bracket that connects a camera and a flash device with a tripod screw has been known, but since a normal camera has only one tripod screw, the camera and the bracket are fixed at one place. Therefore, the camera tends to rotate around the tripod screw during shooting, causing a gap between the optical axis of the shooting lens and the optical axis of the flash device, which may result in underexposed or blurred pictures. .

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In order to solve the above problem, it is conceivable to provide a bracket with a fixing member that sandwiches and fixes the camera from the front and back, but the fixing member at the rear of the camera restricts the opening and closing of the back cover, and during mounting of the bracket. There is a problem that the film cannot be exchanged. Also, if two or more tripod screws are provided, opening and closing of the back cover will not be hindered, but few cameras have two or more tripod screws, and the photographer cannot freely select the camera.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The above-mentioned problem is to provide a camera fixing screw screwed into the bottom of a camera having an insertion portion for inserting a strap and a flash device fixing screw screwed into the bottom of the flash device according to the present invention. And a flash device capable of being connected to each other, the present invention provides a bracket including a camera fixing member having one end fixed to the bracket and the other end insertable into the insertion portion.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a front view in which a camera and a flash device are connected using a conventional bracket. Reference numeral 10 is a bracket, 20 is a camera, and 30 is a flash device. Tripod screws are provided on the bottom surfaces of the camera 20 and the flash device 30, and the camera 20 and the flash device 30 are fixed to the bracket 10 by the fixing screws 11 and 12 provided on the bracket 10. As described above, since the camera 20 is fixed only by the fixing screw 11, it is easy to rotate around the fixing screw 11, and an underexposed photograph or a blurred photograph is likely to occur.

FIG. 2 is a front view of a bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention that solves the above problems. The same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 13 denotes a camera fixing member, one end of which is fixed to the bracket 10 with a screw 14 and the other end of which is bent into a hook shape so that it can be inserted into a suspension ring 21 through which a strap is normally passed. By providing such a fixing member 13 on the bracket 10, the camera is restricted by the suspension ring 21, the camera does not rotate around the fixing screw 11, and the above problem does not occur. Further, since the suspension ring 21 on the side surface of the camera is used, it does not affect the back cover (not shown) and does not hinder the film replacement. In FIG. 2, the camera fixing member 13 is fixed to the bracket 10 with two screws 14. However, as shown in FIG. 3, a protrusion 113a and a female screw 113b are provided at the bottom of the camera fixing member 113, and the bracket By providing the long hole 110a and the round hole 110b in the 110, the projection 113a is inserted into the long hole 110a, and the fixing screw 114 is screwed into the female screw 113b through the round hole 110b. It is fixed by using only one fixing screw 114 and can be easily removed.

FIG. 4 is a view in which one end of the camera fixing member 213 is fixed to the bracket 210 and the other end can be inserted into the suspension ring 22 on the side opposite to the flash device 30, and the tripod screw of the camera is flashed. It is better to do this when it is provided on the device 30 side.

FIG. 5 shows a camera 320 having a wrist strap suspension ring 323 fixed in the same manner as in FIG. 2, but since the position of the suspension ring 323 is low, a dedicated camera fixing member 313 is used to attach it to the bracket 311. It is stuck.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described in detail above, according to the present invention, since the rotation of the camera about the tripod screw is prevented, the optical axis of the camera and the optical axis of the flash device do not deviate, and as a result, underexposure occurs. No photos and blurred photos will occur.
