Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
In a camera carrying device, the combination of: a first support plate with slot means defining a slot in said first plate, with said slot having a closed end and an open end joined by an intermediate section, with said intermediate section of lesser width than said closed end; a second support plate joined to said first support plate in spaced relation to form a housing; spring means carried in said housing between said support plates, with said first support plate having a substantially flat surface facing said spring means; an angle plate having first and second arms, with one of said arms disposed at an angle to the other; a first camera engaging stud carried in said first arm; and a second slot engaging stud carried in said second arm, with said second stud having an end section and an intermediate section, with said second stud end section larger than said slot, and with said second stud intermediate section slideable along said slot intermediate section, and with said second stud end section having substantially flat parallel outer and inner faces for resting against said first support plate and said spring means for limiting rocking movement of said angle plate relative to said support plates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
In a camera carrying device, the combination of: a first support plate with slot means defining a slot in said first plate, with said slot having a closed end and an open end joined by an intermediate section, with said intermediate section of lesser width than said closed end; a second support plate joined to said first support plate in spaced relation to form a housing; spring means carried in said housing between said support plates, with said first support plate having a substantially flat surface facing said spring means; an angle plate having first and second arms, with one of said arms disposed at an angle to the other; a first camera engaging stud carried in said first arm; and a second slot engaging stud carried in said second arm, with said second stud having an end section and an intermediate section, with said second stud end section larger than said slot, and with said second stud intermediate section slideable along said slot intermediate section, and with said second stud end section having substantially flat parallel outer and inner faces for resting against said first support plate and said spring means for limiting rocking movement of said angle plate relative to said support plates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A device as defined in claim 1 wherein said second stud intermediate section has inner and outer axial sections, with said inner axial section of a cross-section slideable along said slot intermediate section, and with said outer axial section of a cross-section non-slideable along said slot intermediate section.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A device as defined in claim 1 wherein said second stud has an end section and an intermediate section, with said second stud end section larger than said slot, and with said second stud intermediate section slideable along said slot intermediate section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
A device as defined in claim 3 wherein said second stud intermediate section has inner and outer axial sections, with said inner axial section of a cross-section slideable along said slot intermediate section, and with said outer axial section of a cross-section non-slideable along said slot intermediate section.
