摘要:
Apparatus, e.g., a camera back, for locating a film cassette containing a plurality of individual, pre-mounted transparency film frames of the self-developing type in position for exposure. The apparatus includes a lighttight chamber into which the film frames are moved subsequent to their exposure. After the exposure of one or more of the film frames, the apparatus may be coupled to a film processor wherein the exposed film frames are individually removed from the lighttight chamber, processed, and delivered to the operator. The apparatus also includes a film advancing member which automatically removes a dark slide from the film cassette as it is being loaded into the apparatus.

A fluid applicator is provided for depositing a coating of processing fluid on a moving run of photographic film strip which includes a single fluid reservoir which comprises an integrally formed nozzle assembly which includes an opening through which processing fluid may be released and a downwardly facing doctoring conformation for expressing the desired layer of processing fluid upon the film strip emulsion. A processing fluid sealing tear tab is positioned directly upon the downwardly facing surface of the processor and is sealingly engaged therewith by a suitable adhesive material. The tear tab is provided with means attached thereto at one end for assuring removal of substantially all of the adhesive material carried by the doctoring conformation upon removal of the tear tab to thereby assure a substantially clean adhesive free surface to be presented to the film strip during the processing fluid deposition.
摘要:
A multipurpose film handling cassette of the type in which a photographic film strip is exposed, processed and projected without removal of the film from the cassette is provided with a one-piece indicating element for signaling to the apparatus with which it is to be used the unprocessed or processed condition of the film within the cassette. A contact element is held, prior to processing, against a spring force into a first position wherein it will be engaged by a pair of contacts in the other apparatus when inserted therein. The element is held in this unprocessed position by a slidable element, which element is displaced responsive to film advancement following processing. Such movement of the slidable element permits the biasing force to displace the contact element to a second position wherein it will not be engaged by the contact of the other apparatus, thus signaling the presence of a processed cassette.
