When the trigger button is depressed, a crank rod is pulled by a biasing spring in a first direction from a first to a second position triggering the shutter in the process, and an associated crankwheel drives a gear segment coupled thereto to an angular position engaging a motor-driven transmission, which latter then drives the gear segment, crankwheel and thereby the crank rod in an opposite second direction back to first position, the crank rod resetting the shutter in the process, whereupon the gear segment reaches an angular position once more disengaged from the film-transport motor. A switch-control lever coupled to a perforation feeler keeps a motor-energize switch closed until the feeler enters a film perforation, but a switch-control lever redundantly keeps the motor-energize switch closed under the camming action of the crank rod, whereby if film is present in the camera motor energization terminates when the feeler enters a perforation, whereas if film is not present then, for demonstration purposes, the same operations are performed, but with motor energization terminating in dependence upon crank rod position.

A still-camera film transport system includes a perforation feeler and cooperating perforation-detecting switch generating a perforation signal. A time-delay circuit initiates a time delay upon the commencement of film transport and generates a time-delay-elapsed signal when the time delay has elapsed. The duration of the delay is greater than the time required for the film transport motor to transport film from the last film perforation to the actual end of the film. A shutter-state switch generates a signal indicating whether the shutter is in set or unset state. A motor-control switch is controlled from the output of a logic-circuit stage which receives the above three signals. During normal operation before the last perforation is passed, the perforation signal is used to generate a deenergize-motor signal, but in dependence upon the shutter-state signal. When the last film perforation is passed, another perforation signal will not be generated, but after the elapse of the predetermined time interval, the time-delay-elapsed signal causes the film transport motor to be deenergized, but not before the actual end of the film has been reached.

A casing, particularly for roll film cartridges, includes a hollow housing having a chamber for closely receiving a film cartridge and a channel which communicates with the chamber. The channel is operative for receiving a length of roll film which extends out of the cartridge when the latter is inserted into the chamber. The channel extends tangentially to the chamber and has at least one flat inner surface along which the length of roll film can extend to be held in flat condition.

An accessory unit, for example an electronic flash unit, for use with photographic apparatus has a housing provided with one or more connecting elements for detachably connecting the unit to the apparatus. The housing has a through-going, essentially slot-shaped passage through which self-developing film sheets ejected from the apparatus can pass, or through which a strap or other retaining element of the camera can extend which holds the unit adjacent to the camera even when the unit is not in operative position, i.e. when the unit is detached from the photographic apparatus.
摘要:
A photographic camera is provided with means for detachably mounting either a flashbulb flash unit or an electronic flash unit. The camera includes a piezoelectric transducer mechanically activatable for generating voltage impulses. When the flashbulb flash unit is mounted on the camera, the voltage impulses are directly applied across the terminals of the flashbulb. There elapses a certain time interval between the start of flashbulb firing and the development of maximum flashbulb output illumination. This time interval is taken into account in the design of the shutter-activating mechanism. When, instead of the flashbulb flash unit, the electronic flash unit is mounted on the camera, the voltage impulses generated for flashbulb firing are utilized to initiate operation of the electronic flash unit. Because the flash tube of the unit develops maximum output illumination more quickly than does a flashbulb, a time-delay circuit is utilized to effect compensation.
