TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a holding mechanism used in a camera-integrated magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, some camera-integrated magnetic recording / reproducing apparatuses have a camera unit, a finder, and a magnetic recording / reproducing unit housed in a first housing, and a monitor screen unit in a second housing.
[0003]
Hereinafter, a conventional configuration will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 5 shows a camera-integrated magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus equipped with a conventional holding mechanism. A first housing in which a VTR unit 1 and a television camera unit 2 are arranged, and a hinge 4 allows two-axis rotation. The first housing has a holding member 5 rotatable at two arbitrary positions near the lower part of the hinge 4.
[0004]
The operation of the conventional holding mechanism configured as described above will be described below.
[0005]
As shown in FIG. 7A, the monitor screen 3 is opened in a horizontal position, and the second housing provided with the hinge 4 is opened vertically with respect to the first housing provided with the VTR unit 1 and the TV camera unit 2. Further, when photographing / reproducing with the monitor screen 3 rotated at an arbitrary angle by the hinge 4, the holding member 5 is used in a state as shown in FIG. The support prevents the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus from tilting in the X direction in FIG. 7B due to the weight of the monitor screen 3.
[0006]
When the monitor screen 3 is stored in the first housing with the monitor screen 3 facing outward in a horizontal place as shown in FIG. 8A, the holding member 5 is moved as shown in FIG. When the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus is used in the state and is supported by the surface 5e of the holding member 5, the tilt monitor screen 3 can be easily viewed by the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus as shown in FIG.
[0007]
Further, when the holding member 5 is used in the state of FIG. 8B, a case where a strong load P is applied from the upper direction of the first housing is assumed, and the rotation center of the holding member 5 of FIG. The elasticity of 5a prevents the holding member 5 from being broken.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the second housing is opened vertically with respect to the first housing in a horizontal position, and further, the monitor screen 3 is rotated by 180 ° by the hinge 4, that is, in a state of facing each other. When photographing the photographer himself at the time of photographing, the photographer must move so as to enter the angle of view of the television camera unit 2, or place a book or the like on the lower part of the first housing. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the angle and height of the television camera unit 2 so that the photographer enters the angle of view, which has a problem that the setting of the camera is very complicated.
[0009]
When the holding member 5 is used in the state of FIG. 8B, if a strong load P is applied from the upper direction of the first housing, the elasticity of the rotation center 5a of the holding member 5 of FIG. Therefore, the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus is not stable, and when the amount of the load P is further increased, there is a problem that the holding member 5 is easily broken by a rotational moment in the Y direction in FIG. 8B.
[0010]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and prevents the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus from being tilted at the time of photographing / reproducing on the monitor screen 3 as in the related art, or inverts the monitor screen 3 to the first housing. In addition to making it easier to see the monitor screen 3 during playback in the stowed state, by tilting the TV camera unit 2 upward during face-to-face shooting, it becomes easier to secure a camera angle of view, and also from the top of the first housing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus holding mechanism in which the holding member 5 can return from an arbitrary position to a predetermined position by a strong load P.
[0011]
