Attached to the base clamp is a flexible arm. The arm terminates in a camera support member. The camera support member further comprises a camera securing surface that allows a webcam or other digital image capturing device to quickly and easily be removably secured to the camera support member. As the arm of the camera mount is flexible, a webcam mounted thereon may be placed in a wide variety of positions and angles relative to the mounting surface while remaining fixed to the camera support member by the camera securing surface.
Description
- The present invention relates to a camera mount for flexible positioning of a camera, that is particularly useful for a webcam or other any other type of digital image capturing device. As used herein, the term “webcam” refers to any type of digital image capturing device suitable for use in conjunction with a computer for capturing and displaying digital images and streaming video which in turn may transmitted electronically over the internet also known as the “web” or “world wide web”.
- Digital or electronic image capturing devices have become very popular among computer users in recent years. The advent of multiple, high speed digital data communication has made the use of digital imaging very desirable since it allows one to instantly and reliably transmit captured images and streaming video over the internet at low cost. Similarly, the advent of powerful yet affordable personal computers and their associated software has brought advanced techniques for storing and manipulating such captured images and streaming video, and integrating them electronically and instantaneously (e.g. with other images and related data such as text and numbers).
- In many cases, personal computers are being sold with digital image capturing devices such as webcams. Such webcams tend to be small and very lightweight. The problem however, is that the webcam is so lightweight, that it does not remain securely in place on a surface. Many computer users tend to place the camera on the top of the computer monitor. Any slight jarring of the computer monitor, and the camera is toppled. Also, the electrical cable that attaches the camera to the computer tends to be heavier than the camera and unwieldy in relation to the camera and also tends to topple or displace the camera.
- Some, but not all of the webcams include threaded openings or apertures on their base for mounting on a standard camera tripod designed to engage the aperture at the base of a standard camera. However, a standard camera tripod is very limited with regard to placement of the camera, and usually allows the camera to remain in only one position relative to the tripod and the surface upon which the tripod is placed. In addition, most standard tripods must sit on a flat surface, such as the floor or a table and are not useful where such a surface is not readily available or accessible relative to the computer.
- Therefore, there is a need for an improved camera mount capable of easily securing a webcam or any other lightweight digital capturing device to almost any surface or support that is convenient to the user, and that allows the user to flexibly position the camera in a wide variety of positions and angles relative to the surface or support that the camera is mounted.
- In U.S. Pat. No. 2,510,198, a flexible positioner is described. The described positioner has a mounting system that includes a forked clamping member with arms for securing the mount to a surface or other support as well as a flexible cable made up a plurality of socket-like segments parts that are mated in such a way as to allow the cable to bend in any desired configuration. Unlike the instant invention, there is no camera support member having a camera securing surface as described in the instant invention.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,664,750, describes a camera mount for adjustably fixing a camera in a predetermined position. Unlike the instant invention, this camera mount does not show, describe, or suggest the camera securing surface of the present invention. None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
- Briefly, the camera mount of the invention comprises a base clamp capable of being removably attached to almost any desired mounting or support such as a table, the back of a chair, or a bookshelf. Attached either directly or indirectly to the base clamp is a flexible arm. The arm terminates in a camera support member. The camera support member further comprises a camera securing surface that allows a camera to quickly and easily be removably secured to the camera support member. As the arm of the camera mount is flexible, a webcam mounted thereon may be placed in a wide variety of positions and angles relative to the mounting surface while remaining fixed to the camera support member by the camera securing surface.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved camera mount for flexible positioning of a webcam or other digital image capturing device, and that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art in a simple, effective and inexpensive manner.
- In the following drawings, like reference characters designate the same or similar parts throughout the several views.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a first embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4a-c is a detail topside view, a sectional side view and detailed underside view respectively, of the camera support member.
- Three preferred embodiments are shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and3. All three embodiments include a
base clamp 10 that is of conventional design and is generally an omega shaped member having clampingarms 12 adapted to engage opposite sides of an object or surface, an adjustingscrew 13 for adjusting theclamps 12, and anarm receiving aperture 28 as shown in the exploded views in FIGS. 1 and 3. Such clamps are generally well known in the art. All three embodiments shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 comprise aflexible arm 20 having afirst arm end 16 and asecond arm end 18. Flexible arms of various types are readily purchased and well known in the art as will be discussed later. - Many flexible arms that can be easily purchased are designed to be received into a standard clamp such as
base clamp 10 in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment wherein thefirst arm end 16 offlexible arm 20 is docked directly into thebase clamp 10. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a coupling device shown generally by the number 30 having an aperture 50 for receivingfirst arm end 16, and a protruding base 52 for docking witharm receiving aperture 28 onbase clamp 10 is another option for securingflexible arm 20 tobase clamp 10. Yet another embodiment for securingflexible arm 20 tobase clamp 10 is shown in FIG. 1. The coupling device shown in FIG. 1 comprises two parts, a first part 1 that is adapted to receive afirst arm end 16 and is capable of being threaded into a second part 2 of the coupling device. The second part 2 of the coupling device is further adapted to be received by thearm receiving aperture 28 of thebase clamp 10. - Turning now to the types of flexible arms useful with the invention, FIGS. 1, 2, and3 show three different types of preferred flexible arms. The
flexible arm 20 of FIG. 1 comprises a flexible material made of interlocking socket-like segments of metal, plastic, or other suitable material. An example of such interlocking socket-like material is sold under the trademark LOC-LINE® available from Lockwood Products, Inc. of Lake Oswego, Oreg. Alternatively, in a second embodiment shown in FIG. 2, thearm 20 may comprise a rigid material interrupted by integralflexible joints 22 at spaced intervals which allow the arm to have a “zig-zag” configuration through various angles. One or more of the integralflexible joints 22 shown in FIG. 2 may be replaced by integral ball joints or friction joints as is known in the art. In yet another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the flexible material of thearm 20 may consist of a resiliently deformable material in the general shape of a tube, also known in the art as “goose neck”. - In each of the embodiments of the invention as exemplified in FIGS. 1, 2 and3, the
flexible arm 20 is preferably twenty-one inches or less in order to achieve maximum usefulness for its purpose. Optionally, thearm 20 may further comprise clips or other securing devices capable of securing an electrical wire, cable or lead that may, for example, connect the webcam or other digital image capturing device to the personal computer or other appropriate device, to thearm 20 such that the cable or wire is held neatly out of the way of the camera user and also provides further stabilization of the camera. Suitable clips are well known in the art and such clips may be permanently or removably attached at various intervals along theflexible arm 20. - In each of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and3, the
flexible arm 20 terminates in acamera support member 24 at the opposite end to theclamp 10. FIG. 2 shows one embodiment wherein theflexible arm 20 and thecamera support member 24 are connected as one integrated piece. FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment wherein thesecond arm end 18 is adapted with a threaded protrusion 80 that is capable of being threaded into acomplementary aperture 62 on theunderside 63 of thecamera support member 24 as shown in FIGS. 4b and 4 c. Many of the flexible arms that can be easily purchased come standard with a threaded protrusion such as threaded protrusion 80 as shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 1 shows yet another embodiment for securing theflexible arm 20 to thecamera support member 24. In FIG. 1, theflexible arm 20, comprising interlocking socket-like materials, is secured at thesecond arm end 18 to an adaptor socket link 60 which is in turn secured to threaded socket link 61 which in turn is screwed into thecomplementary aperture 62 on theunderside 63 of thecamera support member 24 as is shown in FIGS. 4b and 4 c. - FIGS. 1-4 show the
