Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
202 words
A camera support on which a camera is mounted for adaptation to a cathode ray tube having a bezel exposing said cathode ray tube in which the bezel is releasably secured to the frame of the cathode ray tube comprising; a camera support frame having means for mounting to said bezel, said camera support frame having an opening therein to expose said cathode ray tube in juxtaposition therewith, a camera supporting bracket pivotally connected to said camera support frame and having an opening therein complementing and substantially coextensive with said opening in said camera support frame, locking means for clamping said camera supporting bracket and said camera support frame together, a camera supporting means on which a camera is mounted and spaced from said camera supporting bracket, means for adjusting the spacing of said camera supporting means having a camera mounted thereon relative to said cathode ray tube, said camera supporting means having a plate, said plate having a viewing area at least comparable to said opening in said camera supporting bracket, a camera guide means on which the camera is mounted, and means on said guide means cooperating with said plate for adjusting the position of said camera vertically and horizontally.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
202 words
A camera support on which a camera is mounted for adaptation to a cathode ray tube having a bezel exposing said cathode ray tube in which the bezel is releasably secured to the frame of the cathode ray tube comprising; a camera support frame having means for mounting to said bezel, said camera support frame having an opening therein to expose said cathode ray tube in juxtaposition therewith, a camera supporting bracket pivotally connected to said camera support frame and having an opening therein complementing and substantially coextensive with said opening in said camera support frame, locking means for clamping said camera supporting bracket and said camera support frame together, a camera supporting means on which a camera is mounted and spaced from said camera supporting bracket, means for adjusting the spacing of said camera supporting means having a camera mounted thereon relative to said cathode ray tube, said camera supporting means having a plate, said plate having a viewing area at least comparable to said opening in said camera supporting bracket, a camera guide means on which the camera is mounted, and means on said guide means cooperating with said plate for adjusting the position of said camera vertically and horizontally.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A camera support as claimed in claim 1, said means for adjusting the spacing of said camera supporting means including telescoping means connecting said camera supporting bracket and said camera supporting means, and releasable locking means on said telescoping means to clamp said telescoping means in a selected camera viewing position spaced from the cathode ray tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
A camera support as claimed in claim 2, said telescoping means including a linearly-extending tubular member secured to said camera supporting bracket, and a linearly-extending rod mounted on said camera supporting means for slidable engagement in said tubular member, and a releasable locking clamp on said tubular member for engaging said rod to retain said camera supporting means at a preselected position relative to the camera supporting bracket.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A camera support as claimed in claim 3, a camera supporting means having a plate for supporting a camera thereon, said plate being slidably mounted on said camera supporting means, and means for releasably clamping said plate to said camera supporting means in a selected position on said camera supporting means.
