摘要:
A self-developing or instant camera of the type which receives a collapsible cassette containing a plurality of film units arranged in stacked relationship. Transporting means is provided for moving successive exposed film units from the cassette and transporting each of them to a storage chamber beneath the collapsible cassette. During transportation from an exposure position to the storage chamber, each film unit is processed to initiate the formation of a visible image. Springs beneath the cassette bias a lower section of the cassette upwardly relative to an upper section as the successive exposed film units are removed from the cassette and moved beneath the cassette thereby preventing an increased spring pressure on the stack of exposed film units and utilizing the volume gained by the collapsing cassette to accomodate the stack of exposed film units.

An integral, self-developing film unit and processor in which all structural components of the film unit apart from a rupturable pod of processing fluid are provided by two superposed rectangular sheets of plastic material. The sheets sandwich one or more layers of photochemical composition, support the processing fluid pod at the leading edge thereof and define at the trailing edge of the unit, a trap for receiving residual processing fluid. The trap is provided by a flap at the end of one of the two sheets folded over the trailing edge of the other sheet. The absence of edge rails to establish the thickness of processing fluid spread into contact with the photochemicals between the sheets is accounted for by a controlled spacing gap at the pressure nip through which the unit is advanced for processing after exposure. Preferably, the film units are employed with a roller processor having a large diameter roller with a trap relieving recess therein designed for mating with the film unit to relieve roller pressure thereon, upon a single revolution of the roller.

Photographic apparatus for use with film units of the self-developing type. The apparatus includes an elongate member having five extensions which perform a plurality of functions as the elongate member is manually moved between first and second positions. During the movement of the elongate member from the first to the second position, two of the extensions cooperate with a latch to prevent premature movement of the elongate member back into the first position while a third extension engages an exposed film unit and advances it into the bite of a pair of pressure applying rollers. During the movement of the film unit, a fourth extension closes an electrical switch thereby enabling the camera's motor to drive one of the rollers while the fifth extension indexes a film counter.
摘要:
An exposure control system for photographic apparatus utilizing electrically controlled shutter-diaphragm blades and employing a latch, for holding the blades in a light-blocking condition, which is automatically released responsive to actuation of the blades just prior to initiation of an exposure interval during which scene light is passed to the film. In the illustrated embodiment, the blades are initially drawn slightly further in a light-blocking direction from the latched position so as to release the latch just prior to initiation of the exposure interval.

A through dovetailing jig assembly comprised of a dovetailing jig removably attached to a workpiece, an indexing strip removably attached to the workpiece and jig, and a front backup board removably attached to the workpiece and jig. The jig is further comprised of a removable pin insert and a removable tail insert.

A foldable multiple mode imaging acquisition apparatus, such as a camera, having a first and second housing assembly; an erecting assembly interconnected to and between the first and second housing assemblies for allowing movement of the housing assemblies between a folded first condition and an unfolded second condition; a pair of hand gripping sections to allow a user to easily and in a stable manner grip the apparatus in both the first and second conditions without having to remove hands from the first housing assembly and while the assemblies transition between the first and second conditions; a viewfinder assembly mounted adjacent a distal end portion of the second assembly and oriented such that an operator can hold the apparatus in a generally vertical mode when the housing assemblies are in the first folded condition and view the scene, and in a generally horizontal mode when the housing assemblies are in the second unfolded condition and view the same scene.
摘要:
A foldable camera having a reflex mirror for redirecting image bearing light rays from the camera's lens to a film unit located in a cassette. An upper and lower housing interconnected by a flexible bellows are pivotally connected to one another for movement between a folded inoperative position and an erected operable position. When the upper housing is erected, the reflex mirror is simultaneously pivoted about an axis which is neither perpendicular to or parallel with the optical axis of the lens so as to dispose the mirror in an erected position permitting the camera to assume a low profile in the fully erected operable position.

A film assemblage includes a plurality of self-developing film units mounted in a cassette having first and second sections. The first section has an aperture for the exposure of the film units mounted within the cassette. Each film unit includes a flat body position joined to a rupturable pod or container of processing liquid. A support member located in the second section supports the flat portions of the film units to properly orient one of them adjacent to the film exposure aperture. A resilient, upwardly biased extension on said support member engages only the processing liquid container of an adjacent film unit to gently urge it and containers located about it into proper location relative to an exit slot in the cassette.
摘要:
A processing apparatus, for use with a self-processing film unit of the type including a sheet-like photosensitive film component and a low viscosity processing liquid applicator, is configured to apply a longitudinally directed compression force to the film unit causing a flat leader tab forming section thereon to fold and form a protruding leader tab. The tab is fed into a pair of rollers on the apparatus which advance the film unit therebetween to progressively apply a force, preferably having both a tension component and compression component, to the leader tab and then to following portions of the film unit for manipulating an initially folded and releasably sealed enclosure section of the applicator to bring a processing liquid soaked pad therein into liquid yielding contact with an outer surface of the film component.
