Publication number: 20160061377Abstract: This invention relates to a support device with which it is possible to use a supported object stably. A support device is provided with a base body mounted to a leg device. An inclination portion of the base body is mounted with a base end portion of a first turning body and a base end portion of a second turning body so as to be turnable. A tip portion of the first turning body and a tip portion of the second turning body are mounted with a support body so as to be turnable. Both the turning bodies turn upward with respect to the base body so that the support body turns 90 degrees to be in a lengthways state. Both the turning bodies turn downward with respect to the base body so that the support body turns 90 degrees to be in a sideways state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 25, 2014Publication date: March 3, 2016Applicant: VELBON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Koichiro NAKATANI

Patent number: 8915476Abstract: A leg device that is capable of simultaneously releasing three extendible/contractible legs from a locked state with a single action is provided. A tripod, which is a leg device, has a base. A tripod head is attached to a tripod head attaching portion of the base. A middle extendible/contractible leg, a one-side extendible/contractible leg, and an opposite-side extendible/contractible kg are pivotally attached to a leg attaching portion of the base. Gripping all the three extendible/contractible legs, i.e. the middle extendible/contractible leg, the one-side extendible/contractible leg, and the opposite-side extendible/contractible kg, together causes the middle extendible/contractible leg, the one-side extendible/contractible leg, and the opposite-side extendible/contractible leg to simultaneously shift from a locked state to an unlocked state.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2009Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Velbon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Koichiro Nakatani
