Holder structure of network camera
View Patent ↗A network camera holder includes an universal coupling for fixing a network camera and a clinch. The clinch is configured to hook a thin frame and, also, can reverse outward on a pivot in order to grip a thicker frame. The clinch can also be spread out to place the holder directly on a flat surface.
1. A holder structure for holding a network camera, comprising:
an upper and lower cover combining to form a cover, a pivot seat and a block wall are set at one end of the lower cover;
a network camera mount fixed on an upper surface of the upper cover;
a fixture having two pull rods at one end, a spacing board is located between the two pull rods, the two pull rods and the spacing board extending into holes in one end of the cover, a gripping side located at another end of the fixture;
compression springs covering the two pull rods with runners inside the cover accepting a combination of the two pull rods and the compression springs, the compression springs being held on the two pull rods by stops on each end of the two pull rods;
a clinch comprising:
two pivots at one end of the clinch, the two pivots engaging with the pivot seat;
a block is placed between the two pivots, the block being embedded into a block wall of the pivot seat so as limit the spreading out of the clinch;
a hook is set at another end of the cinch with one side of the hook being a block side and another side of the hook being a hook side, the block side gripping a relatively thinner object when the cinch is pivoted inwards towards the fixture and the hook side gripping a relatively thicker object when the cinch is pivoted outwards away from the fixture, the pull rods increasingly compressing the compression spring as the fixture is moved farther away from the cover so as to apply a gripping counterforce to the gripping side of the fixture with respect to the hook.
2. The holder structure of claim 1 , wherein a universal coupling is affixed to the upper cover, a camera fixing seat is located on the universal coupling.
3. The holder structure of claim 1 , wherein a soft sleeve is covered onto the pivots to absorb vibrations.
4. The holder structure of claim 1 , further comprising a heavy block located in another runner inside the cover.
5. The holder structure of claim 4 , wherein the heavy block includes a gap.
