Description: |
| Abstract:
The purpose of this invention is to insure greater stability in camera-tripods and also to insure against accidental disconnection between the legs and the table thereof, thus over-coming certain objections found to exist in many forms of tripods.
Under my invention the parts composing the upper sections of the legs of the tripod are made to engage with considerable rigidity against the ears or equivalent devices attached to the under side of the table of the tripod, so that a large proportion of the disturbing agencies, such as the blowing of the wind, &c., will be resisted and the camera maintained in a stationary position.
Claim:
In a photographic tripod the combination of journal-plates on the table of the tripod, an axis-bar rigidly attached to the upper end of one of two parts composing the upper section of the legs and slidingly mounted in the other and extending beyond them laterally at each side, and a spring interposed between the upper ends of the parts composing the upper section of the legs and abutting against to them. |
