Abstract: A device used for removably attaching a strobe to a camera comprises a clamping band provided with a reinforcing plate and adapted to grasp the pillar-shaped grip of the strobe. The larger open end of a box attached to the camera has edges shaped to engage the pillar. The opposite end of the box is provided with inclined surfaces engageable by cooperating inclined surfaces of an operating lever held in position by a bolt which extends through the lever and the box and threads into the hole of the reinforcing plate. The lever has an operating handle which is permitted a degree of angular movement so that when it is turned in one direction the reinforcing plate is drawn into the open end of the box thereby tightening the band against the pillar of the strobe, and when the operating is lever is turned in the opposite direction the band is loosened.

Abstract: A tripod for a camera comprises a casing with a mounting part of a camera, and a slider in the casing. The slider is spring-loaded with a depressing spring so as to go down. A lockable member extends above the slider. To three forked parts of the slider, three legs are respectively hinged and spring-loaded with springs for opening the legs. A locking member is hinged to a frame which is fixed in the casing. A push rod shaped legs-opening control element is provided for shifting the lockable member. When the legs are put in the casing, the locked member engages the locking member so that the slider with the legs are held to the casing. When the legs-opening control element is pushed towards the lockable member, the locking member is shifted and the locked member is released from the locking so that the slider is pushed out by the depressing spring, and then the legs are opened.
