20080291321 | IMAGING APPARATUS - In the presentation apparatus, an imaging subject is placed on the table, and the imaging subject is imaged by a video camera for presentation on the display of a computer or the like. The table includes a fastening member to which a camera support member fastens, and deploying panels which are pivotably supported at the sides of the fastening member. A deployment mechanism includes link members which at a first end thereof are respectively pivotably connected to the deploying panels and at the other end thereof are connected to one another by a connecting pin; a guide member for guiding the movement of the connecting pin; and a damper portion for applying resistance to movement of the connecting pin. | 11-27-2008 |

20100187378 | Visual presenter - A visual presenter includes a base, a column support including an upright part and a horizontal part, and a camera head mounted on a distal end of the horizontal part. The horizontal part includes first and second horizontal parts. The first horizontal part is mounted on a first support shaft further mounted on the upright part, so as to be pivotable between a downwardly extending position and a horizontal position. The second horizontal part is mounted on a second support shaft further mounted on an end of the first horizontal part located opposite the first support shaft side, so as to be pivotable between a horizontal backward position and a horizontal forward position. | 07-29-2010 |
20100188562 | Visual presenter - A visual presenter includes a base, a column support standing on the base and having a distal end, the column support including an upright part standing upright from the base and a horizontal part that is continuous from the upright part and extends horizontally ahead of the base, the camera head being adapted to image a material placed on an installation surface for the presenter, and a plurality of legs which are mounted on an underside of the base so that one of the legs is located at a predetermined position spaced backward from a front of the base by a predetermined distance. The legs extend in a direction perpendicular to the underside of the base so that an imaging area of the camera head on the installation surface is enlarged so as to cover an area immediately before an installation point of the leg. | 07-29-2010 |
20100188756 | Zoom dial mechanism - A zoom dial mechanism includes a zoom dial mounted on a base plate so as to extend through a central hole of the base plate and so as to be turnable, a coil spring mounted on the base plate to urge the zoom dial toward a neutral position, and a push knob mounted in a central hole of the dial. The base plate has a groove concentric with the central hole. The coil spring is mounted in the groove. The mechanism further includes a first rib fixed to the dial so as to abut one end of the coil spring and a second rib fixed to the dial so as to abut the other end of the spring. The spring is compressed by the first rib when the dial is turned clockwise, and the coil spring is compressed by the second rib when the dial is turned counterclockwise. | 07-29-2010 |
20100194973 | Visual presenter - A visual presenter includes a column support standing on a base, and a camera head mounted on a distal end of the column support. The column support includes an upright part standing from the base and a horizontal part extending horizontally ahead of the base. A pedestal is mounted on a first support shaft mounted on the base, so as to be pivotable in a right-left direction between a standing position and a lying position. The pedestal has an end located opposite the first support side. A second support shaft is located on a pedestal end so as to protrude forward from a base front. The upright part includes a basal portion which is mounted on the second support shaft, so as to be pivotable between a first position where the basal portion stands on the pedestal and a second position where the basal portion stands upright on the pedestal. | 08-05-2010 |
