摘要:
A microfilm camera, typically for 16 mm film, having plural coplanar friction-driven belts. The film is held to the belts by vacuum, so that the film and the belts move together.Vacuum film-loop chambers allow accurate low-inertia control of the film positioning for exposure.An intermittently rotatable shutter may be provided for appropriate exposure of the desired image upon the film.Programmable logic receives data from plural sensors and its controls drive means to correlate significant film movement and stationary periods with the functioning of opto-mechanical elements for exposing the film while it is stationary.
摘要:
A photographic reader-printer in which printing paper is held flat and supported for exposure by a vacuum platen operating against its back surface so that the sensitive side is down for receiving upwardly directed image illumination. A transparent vacuum platen having a frosted glass lower face is disclosed as an aid in focusing or aligning in the absence of printing paper.
摘要:
A photographic camera having a film-changing and multi-circuit vacuum system, especially for application in process photography. The improvements include: GUIDES FOR THE USE OF ARBITRARY FILM WIDTHS PROVIDED IN THE CAMERA; A FILM PLATE TO ACCOMMODATE THE SEATING OF THE LARGEST ANTICIPATED FILM WIDTH AND HAVING AT LEAST TWO CENTERING PINS FOR EACH FILM CONTAINER; A COUPLE FOR EACH FILM CONTAINER CENTERED BETWEEN THE CENTERING PINS FORMING A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CAMERA DRIVE AND THE FILM CONTAINER FOR FILM TRANSPORT; AND INTERCHANGEABLE BRIDGING MEMBERS LOCATED ON THE CENTERING PINS WHICH COUPLE BOTH THE COUPLES AND THE FILM CONTAINERS SO THAT ANY KIND OF FILM WIDTH AND FILM CONTAINER WHICH FITS ON THE FILM PLATE MAY BE USED.
摘要:
A photomechanical camera for use with a roll film has a vacuum suction box disposed in a camera housing and having a perforated front wall facing the lens system of the camera. An endless conveyor belt of a perforated material extends around the suction box and has a front run extending in substantially parallel and close contact relationship with the suction box front wall so that air is sucked into the suction box through the perforations in the belt and the suction box front wall. A length of film severed off and fed from the roll film onto the front run of the conveyor belt is sucked against the belt in the front run thereof and is conveyed toward an exposure position in which the center of the length of film in alignment with the optical axis of the lens system. Drive of the belt is so controlled that the motion of the belt is interrupted when the length of film is reached by the exposure position whereby the film is retained by the vacuum force in the exposure position during the exposure thereof.
