A camera includes a chamber for containing a film cartridge having a rotatable film spool with external engagement access to allow rotation of the spool. The chamber is closed by a lighttight door having a cavity including a status indicator member for determining the status of a contained film cartridge. The status indicator member is attached a cartridge engagement member which is rotatable with the cartridge film spool. The status indicator member includes a display disk for indicating the status of said cartridge based on the rotational position of said spool which is visible through an opening in the chamber door.

A film package comprises a film sheet having a series of images recorded on one side of the film sheet and a non-image area on the same side, an index print sheet having a series of pictures printed on one side of the index print sheet which match the series of images recorded on the film sheet and a non-picture area on the same side of the index print sheet in the same relative location as the non-image area on the film sheet and being sized to permit the film sheet to be placed over the non-picture area without covering any of the pictures, and a holder on the non-picture area of the index print sheet for releasably securing the film sheet to the index print sheet.

A camera film transport mechanism includes a torque limiting one-way drive clutch for preventing film damaging excessive torque loading or reverse rotation of the drive. The clutch includes coaxial inner and outer members. A resilient arm extends generally tangentially from one of the members with a free end biased against the other member and engagable with a tooth or abutment thereon to transmit torque therebetween. A sloping surface on one or both of the tooth and the arm end limits torque transmission by camming the arm out of engagement when the friction force is overcome. Multiple arms and/or abutment teeth may be provided and the arms may be arranged for either compressive or tensile loading. Slip torque deviation is limited by making the engaging surfaces from diverse materials, for example, an amorphous polymer, such as polycarbonate styrene, for one surface and a semi-crystalline polymer, such as nylon or acetal, for the other.

A photograph is masked such that only a portion of a scene in the photograph is visible. The mask is adjusted to alter the portion of the scene which is visible until a portion of the scene which is desired to be reproduced is visible. Information which identifies the portion of the scene which is desired to be reproduced is recorded. The recorded information is used to create a hard copy reproduction of the portion of the scene which is desired to be reproduced.

A one-time-use camera comprises a resistive heating element positioned to apply sufficient heat to a critical component of the camera, such as a plastic taking lens, to permanently damage the component when a battery in the camera is connected to the heating element, and a normally open switch which is closed to connect the battery and the heating element after the last available frame of a filmstrip in the camera has been exposed.

An apparatus including a camera body adapted to receive a thrust film cartridge, a thrust spindle for engagedly receiving a thrust cartridge spool, a take-up spool, and a mechanism for simultaneously driving both the thrust spindle and the take-up spool in an advance direction such that a surface speed of the take-up spool is faster than a surface speed of film being thrust from the thrust cartridge. A first one-way clutch is operatively positioned between a drive mechanism and the thrust spindle, and a second one-way clutch is operatively positioned between the drive mechanism and the take-up spool. A rewind spindle engagedly receives the thrust cartridge spool, and a rewind mechanism drives the rewind spindle in a rewind direction. A third clutch is operatively positioned between the rewind knob and the rewind spindle.

A one-time-use camera comprises a film cartridge and a lighttight enclosure which contains the film cartridge and can be opened to remove the film cartridge. Further, the one-time-use camera has a flash unit which is characterized in that a frangible support device for the flash unit is located to be destroyed when the lighttight enclosure is opened to remove the film cartridge.

A camera has a plurality of taking lenses and an equal number of flash sources which are used in a 1:1 relationship that attempts to maximize the flash-to-lens distance in order to reduce red-eye.
摘要:
An apparatus for image presentation and reformatting comprising an image projector for transmitting an image from an image source, a sizing element for transmitting a selected portion of the image, an image display device, and an image recapture device. A source transducer and target transducer are provided for reading source information and target information, respectively. Such information is provided to a control device which automatically adjusts an exposure adjustment device to enhance the quality of the reformatted image.
