Document camera
First Claim
1. A document camera comprising:
- a base;
a first arm assembled to a front end of the base so as to be pivotable in a front-back direction;
a second arm assembled to a distal end of the first arm so as to be pivotable in the front-back direction; and
a camera head assembled to a distal end of the second arm so as to be pivotable in the front-back direction, wherein;
the first arm is pivotable between a parallel extending position where the first arm extends forward from the front end of the base in parallel to the base and a raised position where the first arm is raised upward from the front end of the base;
the second arm is pivotable between a juxtaposed position where the second arm is juxtaposed to the first arm and a raised position where the second arm is raised from the first arm, the second arm being further pivotable between the raised position and a parallel extending position where the second arm extends forward from the first arm in parallel to the first arm;
the camera head is pivotable between a juxtaposed position where the camera head is juxtaposed to the second arm and a position where the camera head is raised from the second arm;
when the document camera is to be folded, the first arm is set to the parallel extending position, the second arm is set to the juxtaposed position and the camera head is set to the juxtaposed position;
when the document camera has been folded, an upper surface of the first arm, an upper surface of the second arm and an upper surface of the camera head are substantially coplanar;
the first arm is provided with a second arm housing recess in which the second arm is housed;
the second arm is provided with a camera head housing recess in which the camera head is housed; and
when the document camera has been folded, the second arm is laid in the second arm housing recess, and the camera head is laid in the camera head housing recess.

Abstract
A document camera includes a base, a first arm assembled to the base, a second arm assembled to the first arm, and a camera head assembled to the second arm. The first arm is pivotable between a parallel extending position and a raised position. The second arm is pivotable between a juxtaposed position and a raised position and between the raised position and a parallel extending position. The camera head is pivotable between a juxtaposed position and a position where the camera head is raised from the second arm. When the document camera is to be folded, the first arm is set to the parallel extending position, the second arm and the camera head are to the respective juxtaposed positions. When the document camera has been folded, upper surfaces of the first and second arms and the camera head are substantially coplanar.
