Document camera

A document camera includes a base, a monitor display mounted on the base, a first arm, a second arm, and a camera head. The first arm is mounted to the base so as to be pivotable in a right-left direction. The second arm is mounted to the first arm so as to be pivotable in the right-left direction. The camera head is mounted to the second arm so as to be pivotable in the right-left direction. The arms and the camera head are laid into respective laid positions when the document camera is not in use. The arms and the camera head are raised into respective standing positions when the document camera is in use. When laid into the respective laid positions, the arms and the camera head are fit within an upper surface of the base, and the monitor display is substantially covered by the first arm.

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.
