Abstract

The present invention is a clamping base, including a body capable of engaging with and holding a camera, and a second wall portion capable of being detached from and engaged with the body. The clamping base further includes a moving portion. The moving portion includes a sliding rod and a first wall portion set at one end of the sliding rod. The sliding rod can perform a push-pull movement on the body and the other end of the sliding rod is set inside the body.

Claims (14)

1. A clamping base for holding a camera and clamping an electronic device, comprising:

a body with four lateral sides, having a pressing plate at the top thereof with an end of the pressing plate joined to a first of said lateral sides thereof for pressing and holding an elastic plate of the camera;

a moving portion, being movably attached to a second of said lateral sides of the body, which is opposite to the first lateral side; and

a first wall portion having a wallboard detachably engaging with the bottom of the body and extending downward;

wherein, the moving portion further comprises:

two sliding rods, each of the sliding rods being fixed to the moving portion at a first end thereof and being received in the body at a second end thereof;

a second wall portion, extending downward from the moving portion opposite to the wallboard of the first wall portion; and

an elastic element, surrounding each of the sliding rods respectively with an end thereof being fixedly joined to the second end of the respective sliding rod and another end thereof pressing against the second lateral side of the body;

whereby, once the moving portion is pulled away the body by a user with the sliding rods and the second wall portion against elastic force of the elastic element, a distance is formed between the first wall portion and the second wall portion; and once the moving portion is stopped being pulled away the body, the electronic device is clamped by the second wall portion with the elastic force against the first wall portion.

2. The clamping base as defined in claim 1 , wherein the body provides a semicircular recess with an L shaped fitting groove at another two of said opposite lateral sides thereof respectively.

3. The clamping base as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first wall portion further comprises a horizontal plate section, a split type engaging bar at the center of the plate section and a semicircular upper plate section at two ends of the plate section respectively with an L shaped fitting piece projecting from the inner side of the upper plate section.

4. The clamping base as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first wall portion includes a horizontal plate section having a first side edge and an opposite second side edge, and the wallboard is connected to the first side edge wherein the first wall portion engages with the body such that the wallboard is closer to the second wall portion than the second side edge.

5. The clamping base as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first wall includes a horizontal plate section having a first side edge and an opposite second side edge, and the wallboard is connected to the first side edge wherein the first wall portion engages with the body such that the wallboard is farther away from the second wall portion than the second side edge.

6. The clamping base as defined in claim 1 , wherein the elastic plate of the camera is for insertion under and held by the pressing plate.
