IMAGE DEVICE, SUPPORTING BODY AND COUPLING STRUCTURE OF IMAGE DEVICE WITH SUPPORTING BODY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make easily attachable/detachable an image device such as a camera to/from a supporting body through one-touch action and to make easily usable a small-sized supporting body by bayonet-coupling a projected coupling part provided on the supporting body with a recessed part to be coupled provided on the image device. SOLUTION: The supporting body 1 has three legs 1a which can be freely opened/closed and elongated/contracted and a universal head 3, and the universal head 3 is equipped with the coupling part 3a with the image device and a thumbscrew 3c for tightening and two base parts 3d. The coupling part 3a is like a stepped disk and has a large-diameter flange 3g at its lower part. Two projections 3b are provided on the upper surface of the outer periphery of the coupling part 3a and constitute the projected coupling part 3a for bayonet coupling as a whole. The recessed part to be coupled 5 for bayonet coupling is provided at the bottom part of an ordinary camera in this image device 4. The projection 3b of the coupling part 3a is opposed to a recessed groove 5a formed in the part to be coupled 5 and the coupling part 3a is fit in the par to be coupled 5.
