A slide projector for both front and rear projection includes a shallow lens tunnel for mounting a simple wide-angle lens. In a first aspect, a second lens port is added to a conventional slide projector designed for front projection. A mirror pivots to invert and direct light rays from an illuminated slide to the simple wide-angle lens. In a second aspect, only the shallow lens tunnel is present and a rotating slide gate orients the slide, depending on operation in front or rear projection mode. Front projection in the second aspect requires a lens tunnel extension.

A film cassette comprises a film spool supported inside a lighttight cassette shell for rotation to thrust a filmstrip coiled about the spool to the exterior of the shell whether the filmstrip is unexposed or is only partly exposed, and a film exposure status indicator supported for movement relative to the shell from an unexposed position to respective partly exposed and fully exposed positions for providing visible indications that the filmstrip is only partly exposed or is substantially exposed. According to the invention, the shell includes respective indicia indicating that the filmstrip is only partly exposed and is substantially exposed and respective windows located proximate the indicia, and the status indicator is configured in relation to the windows to be visible at the window proximate the indicia indicating that the filmstrip is only partly exposed when the indicator is in its partly exposed position and to be visible at the window proximate the indicia indicating that the filmstrip is substantially exposed when the indicator is in its fully exposed position.

A film cassette comprises a film spool supported inside a lighttight cassette shell for rotation to thrust a filmstrip coiled about the spool automatically to the exterior of the shell, and a film exposure status indicator supported for movement with respect to the shell from an unexposed position for providing a visible indication that the filmstrip is unexposed to an exposed position for providing a visible indication that the filmstrip is exposed. According to the invention, the shell and the status indicator include mutually engagable pin and hole for locking the indicator in its unexposed position to prevent the indicator from being manually moved to its exposed position but which can be disengaged by a suitable device in a camera, for example, to unlock the indicator to permit the indicator to be mechanically moved to the exposed position.

A photographic camera is disclosed for use with a film cassette in which a filmstrip has a row of metering perforations in its imaging portion, adjacent a longitudinal film edge, for engagement with a metering pawl of the camera, and a row of take-up perforations in its leader portion, adjacent the same film edge, for engagement with a take-up spool of the camera, and a film spool is rotatable to unwind the film strip off the spool to thrust the leader portion from the cassette. The camera includes a film sensing member for normally maintaining the metering pawl removed from a film advance path between the cassette and the take-up spool to prevent the pawl from erroneously engaging the leader portion at one of its take-up perforations. The sensing member is actuated to release the metering pawl, to allow the pawl to be moved into the film advance path to engage the imaging portion at one of its metering perforations, only after the leader portion has been advanced sufficiently from the cassette to move its take-up perforations out of reach of the pawl.

A dryer for drying photographic material and a transfer assembly for transferring processed photographic film from a processor to the dryer. The dryer comprises a path through which the photographic material extends wherein at least one slack loop is provided in the photographic material. An adjustable roller is provided along the path to adjust a size of the slack loop and an air supply arrangement is adapted to provide drying air to the slack loop.

The present invention provides for a circular processing drum that defines a processing chamber therein. The circular processing drum includes a first media path for media of a first type which includes a first set of grooves in opposing walls of the processing drum, and a second media path which includes a further set of grooves in the opposing walls of the processing drum. The combination of the first and second media paths provides for a drum that is capable of processing multiple types of media while utilizing a minimum amount of space.

A belt driven rack and tank processor includes a belt for driving photosensitive material through a relatively thin processing channel formed by the rack and tank of the processor. The belt travels around a core that displaces fluid within the apparatus so as to provide for a low volume processor. The processor further includes spring loaded engaging rollers which facilitate the conveyance of cut sheets through the processor.

A memory module reader has a body having a module socket. The module socket defines a cylindrical contact site and a site axis. A terminal block is joined to the body. The terminal block includes a plurality of leads and a cam unit having at least one cam surface. The cam unit is aligned with and biased toward the contact site. An assembly includes the memory module reader and a memory module removably retained in the module socket. The memory module has a flexible support and a memory element fixed to the support.

摘要:
A still picture camera for capturing images when film is alternately advanced from either of two film cassettes into a common film gate for a controlled exposure by light passing through an objective lens and shutter, the camera comprising a camera body, an objective lens for forming an image, a shutter for controlled admission of light, a film gate for defining the area of exposure of one frame of photographic film, two film cassette chambers each accepting a film cassette, a film drive mechanism, and one film spooling chamber for alternately receiving film from either film cassette.

A film cartridge comprises a cartridge shell for housing a filmstrip, and a coded mechanism for providing an indication of one or more properties of the filmstrip. The coded mechanism includes a cavity formed in the outside of the shell to be accessible, a cover affixed to the outside of the shell that completely covers the cavity, and at least one cut-out in the cover uniquely positioned over the cavity to permit entry into the cavity only through the cut-out to provide an indication of one or more properties of a filmstrip housed in the shell.
