Adjustable optical apparatus adapter
First Claim
1. An adjustable optical apparatus adapter, comprising:
- a camera platform adapted to carry a camera, comprising a mounting screw adapted to affix a camera to said camera platform, and at least one horizontal sliding slot;
a telescope holder adapted to hold a telescope, having an upper part forming a holder frame and a lower part defining a vertical sliding slot, said holder frame having at least one screw hole vertically extended in a top side thereof;
a lock screw threaded into the screw hole of said holder frame and adapted to lock a telescope to said holder frame; and
a camera platform lock mounted in the at least one horizontal sliding slot of said camera platform and the vertical sliding slot of said telescope holder for enabling said camera platform to be moved vertically relative to said telescope holder along said vertical sliding slot and said telescope holder to be moved horizontally relative to said camera holder along said at least one horizontal sliding slot and adapted to lock said camera platform to said telescope holder, said camera platform lock including;
(a) a base block, said base block including a polygonal shoulder inserted into said at least one horizontal sliding slot of said camera platform for enabling said base block to be moved along said at least one horizontal sliding slot and for stopping said base block from rotary motion relative to said camera platform, and a screw rod forwardly extending from said polygonal shoulder and inserted through said vertical sliding slot of said telescope holder; and
(b) a fastening member threaded onto the screw rod of said base block and adapted to affix said camera platform to said telescope holder.
