ABSTRACT:
A coupling device for attaching a camera to a tripod which has a first coupling member attached on the underneath side thereof to the top of the tripod. A hollow upright member is positioned on the top, central portion of the first coupling member, and has a hole through at least one of its upright side walls. A hook member is pivotally mounted in the hollow member and extends through the hole in the side of the hollow member, while a push member within the first coupling plate adjacent the hook member pushes against the hook member and causes it to rotate. The push member is biased by a first spring on the opposite side of said hook member. Attached to the bottom of the camera is a second coupling member which has a screw portion at the top thereof threaded into the camera and an open cavity in the bottom thereof beneath the screw portion. The cavity is inserted over the hollow upright member, and the inside of the cavity has at least one locking groove engageable with the hook member. Also provided is at least one rubber packing member slidably extending upward from the first coupling member beneath the second coupling member and a second spring beneath the rubber packing for urging the packing upward.
