摘要:
A method and apparatus for depositing a layer of processing fluid on an exposed film strip contained with the processing fluid and fluid depositing means in a multipurpose film cassette of the type in which the film strip is exposed, processed and viewed by projection without removal from the cassette. The processing fluid is doctored onto the emulsion side of the exposed film strip during rewinding movement of the strip under an applicator nozzle opening. The film strip is supported under a biasing force toward the nozzle approximating in magnitude the hydrodynamic force developed by doctoring the processing fluid against the other side of the film strip thus to achieve a net balance of forces on opposite sides of the film strip so that foreign particles such as dust and the like will pass the doctoring surface without deleterious accumulation of such particles thereon.

Apparatus for processing a roll of self-developing type film. The film and a length of flexible sheet material are unwound from their respective spools and laminated to each other with a layer of processing liquid located therebetween prior to being wound as a laminate upon a rotating drum. After the formation of a visible image within the film, a drive train is energized to drive the spools in a direction which unwinds the laminate from the drum and simultaneously rewinds the film and sheet material upon their spools. The drive train is continuously connected to the drives for the spools and includes a clutch arrangement which insures that the rotation of the drum in an unwinding direction is under the control of the sheet material drive while the torque delivered to the film drive keeps the film taut without becoming the dominant force in rotating the drum.

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 multipurpose audio/visual film cassette (10) including supply and takeup spools (26, 28) in which opposite ends of a film strip (30) are coupled for alternate winding and unwinding during passage through a first path for film exposing, processing and projecting operations with an audio tape (54) also coupled at least on one end with the supply spool (26) and interwound with the film strip (30) to pass through a separate path, and a stripping and separating web (80) is coupled at least on one end to the supply spool (26) and preferably extending directly to the takeup spool (28) in a third path with the web (80) being arranged to overlie the side of the film strip (30) on which processing fluid is deposited and wound in convolutions between such side and the audio tape (54) to prevent adherence of the audio tape (54) to the film strip (30) and to strip a negative emulsion layer from the film strip (30) after processing.
摘要:
An applicator is provided for depositing a coating of processing fluid on a moving run of photographic film strip which includes a single fluid reservoir having an opening in an exterior surface through which processing fluid may pass. A nozzle plate is provided also having a fluid opening therein and a reservoir facing surface which is configured to be urged toward the reservoir exterior surface and to sealingly engage and to cooperate with the reservoir surface so that fluid may flow through the nozzle plate opening when the plate and reservoir are in such confronting relation. A tear tab is initially interposed between the reservoir and the nozzle plate in sealing engagement around the opening in the reservoir exterior surface so that it initially seals processing fluid in the reservoir. Removal of the tear tab from the reservoir results in release of the fluid contained therein. The reservoir housing is provided with means for supporting the nozzle plate in an aligned spaced relationship with respect to the reservoir exterior surface with the tear tab lying therebetween. The reservoir nozzle plate and tear tab may be assembled in a modular fashion with the processing fluid initially sealed therein such that the modular fluid applicator may be readily installed in a processing station in a multipurpose film cassette.

Photographic apparatus including a miniature camera for exposing, processing and viewing small format positive image transparencies. A film cassette carries a plurality of film units of a type in which each unit includes a self-contained pod of processing fluid. After exposure of a given film unit, that unit is moved from an exposure position, past a spreader bar to spread processing fluid over the exposed area of the film unit and to a viewing position in which the processed film unit is presented in a camera window through which it may be examined by light passing through the camera window and the film unit.
摘要:
A processing fluid receptacle of a photographic processing fluid applicator for use in a photographic film cassette capable of processing latent images on exposed film without requiring removal of the film from the cassette. The receptacle has an aperture which is initially releasably sealed by a web comprising two sections angularly disposed relative to each other with one section folded over the other. One section serves to seal the aperture, the arrangement being such that when a pulling force is exerted on the other section, the web is peeled off the receptacle in such a way that separation initially takes place along one margin of the aperture only.
